In the paper Factorisation of division polynomials (H. Verdure, Proc. japan Academy, Ser A. 80 n. 5), Verdure gives the factorisation patterns of division polynomials of elliptic curves defined over a finite field. However, the result given…

The concept of self-similarity on subsets of algebraic varieties is defined by considering algebraic endomorphisms of the variety as `similarity' maps. Self-similar fractals are subsets of algebraic varieties which can be written as a…

We prove, assuming that the conjecture of Lang and Vojta holds true, that there is a uniform bound on the number of stably integral points in the complement of the theta divisor on a principally polarized abelian surface defined over a…

In this note we prove new cases of the Mumford-Tate conjecture by extending a theorem of Richard Pink for abelian varieties without nontrivial endomorphisms and with bad semistable reduction. We use quadratic pairs introduced by…

Let $A$ be a simple abelian variety over a number field $k$ such that $\operatorname{End}(A)$ is noncommutative. We show that $A$ splits modulo all but finitely many primes of $k$. We prove this by considering the subalgebras of…

We explicitly bound the Faltings height of a curve over Q polynomially in its Belyi degree. Similar bounds are proven for three other Arakelov invariants: the discriminant, Faltings' delta invariant and the self-intersection of the…

We obtain computational hardness results for f-vectors of polytopes by exhibiting reductions of the problems DIVISOR and SEMI-PRIME TESTABILITY to problems on f-vectors of polytopes. Further, we show that the corresponding problems for…

Suppose that $\pi \: Y \to X$ is a finite map of normal varieties over a perfect field of characteristic $p > 0$. Previous work of the authors gave a criterion for when Frobenius splittings on $X$ (or more generally any $p^{-e}$-linear map)…

In a 1993 article, G. Faltings gave a new construction of the moduli space $U$ of semistable vector bundles on a smooth curve $X$, avoiding geometric invariant theory. Roughly speaking, Faltings showed that the normalisation $B$ of the ring…

Let $X$ be a projective Frobenius split variety over an algebraically closed field with splitting $\theta : F_* \O_X \to \O_X$. In this paper we give a sharp bound on the number of subvarieties of $X$ compatibly split by $\theta$. In…

The theorem of factorisation forests shows the existence of nested factorisations -- a la Ramsey -- for finite words. This theorem has important applications in semigroup theory, and beyond. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the…

Let ${\Bbb F}_q$ be a finite field of order $q.$ We prove that if $d\ge 2$ is even and $E \subset {\Bbb F}_q^d$ with $|E| \ge 9q^{\frac{d}{2}}$ then $$ {\Bbb F}_q=\frac{\Delta(E)}{\Delta(E)}=\left\{ \frac{a}{b}: a \in \Delta(E), b \in…

We deduce Diophantine arithmetic inequalities for big linear systems and with respect to finite extensions of number fields. Our starting point is the Parametric Subspace Theorem, for linear forms, as formulated by Evertse and Ferretti…

We call a poset factorable if its characteristic polynomial has all positive integer roots. Inspired by inductive and divisional freeness of a central hyperplane arrangement, we introduce and study the notion of inductive posets and their…

Faltings' approach in $p$-adic Hodge theory can be schematically divided into two main steps: firstly, a local reduction of the computation of the $p$-adic \'etale cohomology of a smooth variety over a $p$-adic local field to a Galois…

A "folklore conjecture, probably due to Tutte" (as described in [P.D. Seymour, Sums of circuits, Graph theory and related topics (Proc. Conf., Univ. Waterloo, 1977), pp. 341-355, Academic Press, 1979]) asserts that every bridgeless cubic…

We continue the exploration of various aspects of divisibility of ultrafilters, adding one more relation to the picture: multiplicative finite embeddability. We show that it lies between divisibility relations $\mid_M$ and…

Finite dynamical systems (FDSs) are commonly used to model systems with a finite number of states that evolve deterministically and at discrete time steps. Considered up to isomorphism, those correspond to functional graphs. As such, FDSs…

In this paper, we prove that any two birational projective varieties with finite quotient singularities can be realized as two geometric GIT quotients of a non-singular projective variety by a reductive algebraic group. Then, by applying…

This paper, a continuation of [3], involves a closer study of polynomials of supertropical semirings and their version of tropical geometry in which we introduce the concept of relatively prime polynomials and resultants, with the aid of…
