Let X be a projective variety which is covered by a family of rational curves of minimal degree. The classic bend-and-break argument of Mori asserts that if x and y are two general points, then there are at most finitely many curves in that…

For two closed curves on a plane (discrete version) and local criteria for similarity of points on the curves one gets a potential, which describes the similarity between curve points. This is the base for a global similarity measure of…

In this paper we study genus 2 function fields K with degree 3 elliptic subfields. We show that the number of Aut(K)-classes of such subfields of K is 0,1,2, or 4. Also we compute an equation for the locus of such K in the moduli space of…

This work introduces author's theory of Bruhat-Tits buildings over higher dimensional local fields. The theory is illustrated with the buildings for PGL(2) and PGL(3) for one- and two-dimensional local fields.

Conformal field theories have been extremely useful in our quest to understand physical phenomena in many different branches of physics, starting from condensed matter all the way up to high energy. Here we discuss applications of…

We generalize a theorem of D. Rohrlich concerning root numbers of elliptic curves over the field of rational numbers. Our result applies to curves of all higher genera over number fields. Namely, under certain conditions which naturally…

We introduce a new algorithm to compute the zeta function of a curve over a finite field. This method extends Kedlaya's algorithm to a very general class of curves using a map to the projective line. We develop all the necessary bounds,…

We introduce a new class of generalised quadratic forms over totally real number fields, which is rich enough to capture the arithmetic of arbitrary systems of quadrics over the rational numbers. We explore this connection through a version…

Let $S$ be an orientable surface with negative Euler characteristic. For $k \in \mathbb{N}$, let $\mathcal{C}_{k}(S)$ denote the $\textit{k-curve graph}$, whose vertices are isotopy classes of essential simple closed curves on $S$, and…

We present two distinct families of imaginary biquadratic fields, each of which contains infinitely many members, with each member having large class groups. Construction of the first family involves elliptic curves and their quadratic…

For a given singularity of a plane curve we consider the locus of nodal deformations of the singularity with the given number of nodes and describe possible components of the locus. As applications, we solve the local symplectic isotopy for…

Given a covering of the projective line with ramifications defined over a number field, we define a plain model of the algebraic curve realizing the Riemann existence theorem for this covering, and bound explicitly the defining equation of…

The goal of these notes is to provide an informal introduction to Gromov-Witten theory with an emphasis on its role in counting curves in surfaces. These notes are based on a talk given at the Fields Institute during a week-long conference…

In this paper, we study the curvature properties of random complex plane curves. We bound from below the probability that a uniform proportion of the area of a random complex degree $d$ plane curve has a curvature smaller than $-d/8$. Our…

In this paper we investigate the space of $\mathbb{R}$-places of an algebraic function field of one variable. We deal with the problem of determining when two orderings of such a field correspond to a single $\mathbb{R}$-place. To this end…

Double coset spaces of adelic points on linear algebraic groups arise in the study of global fields; e.g., concerning local-global principles and torsors. A different type of double coset space plays a role in the study of semi-global…

In a series of papers we classify the possible torsion structures of rational elliptic curves base-extended to number fields of a fixed degree. In this paper we turn our attention to the question of how the torsion of an elliptic curve with…

We study plane curves over finite fields whose tangent lines at smooth $\mathbb{F}_q$-points together cover all the points of $\mathbb{P}^2(\mathbb{F}_q)$.

We investigate modularity of elliptic curves over a general totally real number field, establishing a finiteness result for the set non-modular $j$-invariants. By analyzing quadratic points on some modular curves, we show that all elliptic…

We introduce a novel class of rotation invariants of two dimensional curves based on iterated integrals. The invariants we present are in some sense complete and we describe an algorithm to calculate them, giving explicit computations up to…
