Aspect forms and functions in Sorbian varieties

Forms and functions of International and Local EFL Workbook Activities

English language teaching market (ELT) inundated with course book packages containing astudent’s book, a teacher’s guide, workbooks, CD’s, videos, and test materials. A host ofresearchers have focused on course book evaluation and analysis and considered the selectionand evaluation of materials as an essential procedure in order to enhance out comes for thelearners who use them. This study thru...

The basic colour terms of Lower Sorbian and Upper Sorbian and their typological relevance 1

gratefully acknowledged. The paper has benefited from the comments of an anonymous referee and from Bernard Comrie, and we are grateful to both. We would also like to thank Nigel Woodger for his technical support in creating the figures. An earlier version of the paper was given at Progress in Colour Studies 2004, University of Glasgow.

Automorphic Forms on Shimura Varieties

Hyperbolicity, automorphic forms and Siegel modular varieties

We study the hyperbolicity of compactifications of quotients of bounded symmetric domains by arithmetic groups. We prove that, up to an étale cover, they are Kobayashi hyperbolic modulo the boundary. Applying our techniques to Siegel modular varieties, we improve some former results of Nadel on the non-existence of certain level structures on abelian varieties over complex function fields.

On Toric Varieties and Modular Forms

Let M∗(l) = M∗(Γ1(l),C) be the ring of holomorphic modular forms on Γ1(l). In this talk we use the combinatorics of complete toric varieties to construct a subring T∗(l) ⊂ M∗(l), the subring of toric modular forms (§2). This is a natural subring, in the sense that it behaves nicely with respect to natural operations on M∗(l) (namely, Hecke operators, Fricke involution, and the theory of oldform...
