Completed cohomology of Shimura curves and a p-adic Jacquet-Langlands correspondence
We study indefinite quaternion algebras over totally real fields F, and give
an example of a cohomological construction of p-adic Jacquet-Langlands
functoriality using completed cohomology. We also study the (tame) levels of
p-adic automorphic forms on these quaternion algebras and give an analogue of
Mazur's `level lowering' principle.Comment: Updated version. Contains some minor corrections compared to the

Equidistribution of Heegner Points and Ternary Quadratic Forms
We prove new equidistribution results for Galois orbits of Heegner points
with respect to reduction maps at inert primes. The arguments are based on two
different techniques: primitive representations of integers by quadratic forms
and distribution relations for Heegner points. Our results generalize one of
the equidistribution theorems established by Cornut and Vatsal in the sense
that we allow both the fundamental discriminant and the conductor to grow.
Moreover, for fixed fundamental discriminant and variable conductor, we deduce
an effective surjectivity theorem for the reduction map from Heegner points to
supersingular points at a fixed inert prime. Our results are applicable to the
setting considered by Kolyvagin in the construction of the Heegner points Euler

Denominators of Eisenstein cohomology classes for GL_2 over imaginary quadratic fields
We study the arithmetic of Eisenstein cohomology classes (in the sense of G.
Harder) for symmetric spaces associated to GL_2 over imaginary quadratic
fields. We prove in many cases a lower bound on their denominator in terms of a
special L-value of a Hecke character providing evidence for a conjecture of
Harder that the denominator is given by this L-value. We also prove under some
additional assumptions that the restriction of the classes to the boundary of
the Borel-Serre compactification of the spaces is integral. Such classes are
interesting for their use in congruences with cuspidal classes to prove
connections between the special L-value and the size of the Selmer group of the
Hecke character.Comment: 37 pages; strengthened integrality result (Proposition 16), corrected
statement of Theorem 3, and revised introductio
