Let $U_\varepsilon^{\mathrm{res}}(L\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ be the restricted integral form of the quantum loop algebra $U_q(L\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ specialised at a root of unity $\varepsilon$. We prove that the Grothendieck ring of a tensor…

A singular curve over a non-perfect field K may not have a smooth model over K. Those are said to "change genus". If K is a global field of positive characteristic and C/K a curve that change genus, then C(K) is known to be finite. The…

Let $C$ and $D$ be smooth, proper and geometrically integral curves over a finite field $F$. Any morphism from $D$ to $C$ induces a morphism of their \'etale fundamental groups. The anabelian philosophy proposed by Grothendieck suggests…

Let $M$ be a simply connected Riemannian manifold in $\mathscr{M}_{k,v}^D(n)$, the space of closed Riemannian manifolds of dimension $n$ with sectional curvature bounded below by $k$, volume bounded below by $v$, and diameter bounded above…

Watkins's conjecture suggests that for an elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$, the rank of the group $E(\mathbb{Q})$ of rational points is bounded above by $\nu_2 (m_E)$, where $m_E$ is the modular degree associated with $E$. It is known that…

We give an effective proof of Faltings' theorem for curves mapping to Hilbert modular stacks over odd-degree totally real fields. We do this by giving an effective proof of the Shafarevich conjecture for abelian varieties of…

Let C be an algebraic curve in a power of an elliptic curve, both defined over the algebraic numbers. We show that the set of algebraic points of C which satisfy certain conditions is a finite set. This result has implications with the…

Let E be an elliptic curve over Q with complex multiplication by the ring of integers of an imaginary quadratic field K. In 1991, by studying a certain special value of the Katz two-variable p-adic L-function lying outside the range of…

We study the generalized doubling method for pairs of representations of $G\times GL_k$ where $G$ is a symplectic group, split special orthogonal group or split general spin group. We analyze the poles of the local integrals, and prove that…

We present here quantitative versions in 1 dimension of Faltings'theorem according to which the set of the K-rational points (where K is a given number field) of an abelian variety A definied over K, which are close (with respect to a…

A graph is diameter-$k$-critical if its diameter equals $k$ and the deletion of any edge increases its diameter. The Murty-Simon Conjecture states that for any diameter-2-critical graph $G$ of order $n$, $e(G) \leq \lfloor…

We give a quantitative version of a result due to N. Katz about L-functions of elliptic curves over function fields over finite fields. Roughly speaking, Katz's Theorem states that, on average over a suitably chosen algebraic family, the…

We prove that if a closed Riemannian manifold $(M^n,g)$ has finite fundamental group and satisfies the curvature condition \begin{equation*} R_{1313} +R_{1414} +R_{2323} + R_{2424} > \tfrac{1}{2}\left(R_{1212} + R_{3434}\right)…

Given n general points p_1, p_2,..., p_n \in P^r, it is natural to ask whether there is a curve of given degree d and genus g passing through them; by counting dimensions a natural conjecture is that such a curve exists if and only if \[n…

Let k be an infinite field. Let R be the semi-local ring of a finite family of closed points on a k-smooth affine irreducible variety, let K be the fraction field of R, and let G be a reductive simple simply connected R-group scheme…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over a quartic field $K$. By the Mordell-Weil theorem, $E(K)$ is a finitely generated group. We determine all the possibilities for the torsion group $E(K)_{tor}$ where $K$ ranges over all quartic fields $K$ and…

We consider a generalization of the "Hadamard quotient theorem" of Pourchet and van der Poorten. A particular case of our conjecture states that if $f := \sum_{n \geq 0} a(n)x^n$ and $g := \sum_{n \geq 0} b(n)x^n$ represent, respectively,…

We prove a topological version of the section conjecture for the profinite completion of the fundamental group of finite CW-complexes equipped with the action of a group of prime order $p$ whose $p$-torsion cohomology can be killed by…

The simplest non-trivial 5d superconformal field theories (SCFT) are the famous rank-one theories with $E_n$ flavour symmetry. We study their $U$-plane, which is the one-dimensional Coulomb branch of the theory on $\mathbb{R}^4 \times S^1$.…

A complex projective manifold is rationally connected, resp. rationally simply connected, if finite subsets are connected by a rational curve, resp. the spaces parameterizing these connecting rational curves are themselves rationally…
