J. Teitelbaum expressed branch points of Mumford curves through \(p\)-adic theta functions. He used these to verify the exceptional zero conjecture. I will outline how his formulas are easily generalized to super-elliptic Mumford curves, i.e., Mumford curves that are cyclic covers of the \(p\)-adic line. 

The Office for Diversity and Inclusion would like to invite faculty and staff to pause and be in community with us as they are able. Many in our community are impacted by events happening on a global scale including atrocities in Israel, Gaza, Ukraine, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan, as well as natural disasters. Often those impacted find themselves working so hard to support their loved ones and communities they forget to pause to support themselves, to take a moment to reflect, mourn, or set aside time to be in community with each other. Join us for a biweekly Coffee Break in the Student Union RM 103 at the Storrs campus where you can find some time away from the office to enjoy your coffee alone or in conversation with your colleagues. A virtual option is available here: https://uconn-cmr.webex.com/uconn-cmr/j.php?MTID=m4c0b5c177a1e825f40652ddda2e8e887 (https://uconn-cmr.webex.com/uconn-cmr/j.php?MTID=m4c0b5c177a1e825f40652ddda2e8e887)
