• A. Babei, A. Fiori, C. Franc, Families of ϕ-congruence subgroups of the modular group, Mathematika (2023), Volume 69, Issue 4, pp. 35.
  Journal Version
  arXiv Version
  We introduce and study families of finite index subgroups of the modular group that generalize the congruence subgroups. Such groups, termed ϕ-congruence subgroups, are obtained by reducing homomorphisms ϕ from the modular group into a linear algebraic group modulo integers. In particular, we examine two families of examples, arising on the one hand from a map into a quasi-unipotent group, and on the other hand from maps into symplectic groups of degree four. In the quasi-unipotent case we also provide a detailed discussion of the corresponding modular forms, using the fact that the tower of curves in this case contains the tower of isogenies over the elliptic curve y^2=x^3−1728 defined by the commutator subgroup of the modular group.
  
  
• A. Fiori, H. Kadiri, J. Swidinsky, Sharper bounds for the error term in the Prime Number Theorem, Research in Number Theory (2023), Volume 9, Article Number 63, pp. 19.
  Journal Version
  arXiv Version
  We provide very effective methods to convert both asymptotic and explicit numeric bounds on the prime counting function Psi(x) to bounds of the same type on both Theta(x) and Pi(x). Applying these to our explicit results for Psi(x) we obtain new unconditional bounds for |Pi(x)-Li(x)| valid for x>2.

  Preprint
  In this paper we show there exists an infinite family of number fields L, Galois over Q, for which the smallest prime p of Q which splits completely in L. has size at least ( log|D_L|)^{2+o(1)}. This gives a converse to various upper bounds, which shows that they are best possible.

  Journal Version
  Preprint
  We characterize the possible reductions of j-invariants of elliptic curves which admit complex multiplication by an order O where the curve itself is defined over Zp. In particular, we show that the distribution of these j-invariants depends on which primes divide the discriminant and conductor of the order.
  
  
• A. Fiori, Rational Conjugacy Classes of Certain Subgroups of G2 published on arXiv (2015), pp. 19.
  Preprint
  arXiv Version
  We give a concrete characterization of the rational conjugacy classes of maximal tori in groups of type G2 over number fields and p-adic fields. In the same context we characterize the rational conjugacy classes of simply connected A2 subgroups of G2. We relate the concrete classification to one which may be obtained through Galois cohomology.
  Due to simultaneous discovery and publication of similar results by other researchers (See Hooda and Beli-Gille-Lee) this preprint is not likely to be further revised or resubmitted.
  
  
• A. Fiori, Toroidal Compactifications and Dimension Formulas for Spaces of Modular Forms for Orthogonal Shimura Varieties published on arXiv (2016), pp. 40.
  Preprint
  arXiv Version
  This is an expository article on toroidal compactifications and dimension formulas for spaces of modular forms on locally symmetric spaces focusing specifically on the case of orthogonal locally symmetric spaces.
  This is mostly a revision of part of my Thesis. It contains some new results not appearing there. It is a work in progress, may contain errors and further revisions are likely as new results are obtained. There is no current timeline for preparing it for submission to a peer-reviewed journal as a complete solution to the problem is still far out of reach. None the less, this article already contains original work on the problem.

  Preprint
  We study the integral structure of lattices arising from transfer (restriction) between finite extensions of Qp. We focus on those quadratic forms arising from Hermitian forms and apply the results to studying arithmetic volumes of such lattices where the base ring is Zp.
