We completely describe the Brill-Noether theory for curves in the primitive linear system on generic abelian surfaces, in the following sense: given integers $d$ and $r$, consider the variety $V^r_d(|H|)$ parametrizing curves $C$ in the…

We continue the program initiated by [J. \'Ec. Polytech., Math. 12, 1083-1160 (2025)] and show that the Pleijel theorem holds unconditionally on all but four $H$-type groups.

Conditional on finiteness of relevant Shafarevich--Tate groups, Harpaz and Skorobogatov used Swinnerton-Dyer's descent-fibration method to establish the Hasse principle for Kummer varieties associated to a 2-covering of a principally…

By focusing on the family $E:y^2=x^3+a$, we present strategies for determining the structure of the torsion subgroup of the Mordell-Weil group of an elliptic curve, $E(K)$, over quadratic field $K$. Generalizations of the Nagell-Lutz…

We construct two abelian varieties over $\mathbb{Q}$ which are not isomorphic, but have isomorphic Mordell--Weil groups over every number field, isomorphic Tate modules and equal values for several other invariants.

We give a geometric proof that Hasse principle holds for the following varieties defined over global function fields: smooth quadric hypersurfaces in odd characteristic, smooth cubic hypersurfaces of dimension at least $4$ in characteristic…

We show that the p-torsion in the Tate-Shafarevich group of any principally polarized abelian variety over a number field is unbounded as one ranges over extensions of degree O(p), the implied constant depending only on the dimension of the…

A proof of the Borel completeness of torsion free abelian groups is presented. This proof differs considerably from the approach of Paolini-Shelah.

Let $A$ be an abelian variety with commutative endomorphism algebra over a finite field $k$. The $k$-isogeny class of $A$ is uniquely determined by a Weil polynomial $f_A$ without multiple roots. We give a classification of the groups of…

We establish the Hasse Principle for systems of r simultaneous diagonal cubic equations whenever the number of variables exceeds 6r and the associated coefficient matrix contains no singular r x r submatrix, thereby achieving the…

We prove a Hasse principle for solving equations of the form ax+by+cz=0 where x, y, z belong to a given finite index subgroup of the multiplicative group of rational numbers. From this we deduce a Hasse principle for diagonal curves over…

We present the notion of non-abelian descent type, which classifies torsors up to twisting by a Galois cocycle. This relies on the previous construction of kernels and non-abelian Galois 2-cohomology due to Springer and Borovoi. The…

Following Serre's initial work, a number of authors have considered twists of quadratic forms on a scheme Y by torsors of a finite group G, together with formulas for the Hasse-Witt invariants of the twisted form. In this paper we take the…

Building upon our arithmetic duality theorems for 1-motives, we prove that the Manin obstruction related to a finite subquotient $\Be (X)$ of the Brauer group is the only obstruction to the Hasse principle for rational points on torsors…

We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for abelian varieties to acquire semistable reduction over fields of low degree. Our criteria are expressed in terms of torsion points of small order defined over unramified extensions.

Let $A$ be an abelian variety defined over a number field $K$, the number of torsion points rational over a finite extension $L$ is bounded polynomially in terms of the degree $[L:K]$. When $A$ is isogenous to a product of simple abelian…

For varieties over global fields, weak approximation in the space of adelic points can fail. For a subvariety of an abelian variety one expects this failure is always explained by a finite descent obstruction, in the sense that the rational…
