A variety is rationally connected if two general points can be joined by a rational curve. A higher version of this notion is rational simple connectedness, which requires suitable spaces of rational curves through two points to be…

Let X be a smooth, projective variety defined over a local field K. Following Manin, two K-points of X are called R-equivalent if they can be joined by a rational curve defined over K. The main result of this note shows that if there are…

We formalize the quantum arithmetic, i.e. a relationship between number theory and operator algebras. Namely, it is proved that rational projective varieties are dual to the $C^*$-algebras with real multiplication. Our construction fits all…

Let Z(X) be the number of degree-d extensions of F_q(t) with bounded discriminant and some specified Galois group. The problem of computing Z(X) can be related to a problem of counting F_q-rational points on certain Hurwitz spaces.…

We study the relations between the finite generation of Cox ring, the rationality of Euler-Chow series and Poincar\'e series and Zariski's conjecture on dimensions of linear systems. We prove that if the Cox ring of a smooth projective…

In this paper we work with a series whose coefficients are the Euler characteristic of Chow varieties of a given projective variety. For varieties where the Cox ring is defined, it is easy to see that in this case the ring associated to the…

Let k be a field of characteristic zero. We show that the norm variety associated to a prime $\ell$ and an ordered sequence of invertible elements of k is geometrically retract rational. This generalizes a recent result of…

We establish new measures of linear independence of logarithms on commutative algebraic groups in the so-called \emph{rational case}. More precisely, let k be a number field and v_{0} be an arbitrary place of k. Let G be a commutative…

Poincar\'e series of $p$-adic, definable equivalence relations have been studied in various cases since Igusa's and Denef's work related to counting solutions of polynomial equations modulo $p^n$ for prime $p$. General semi-algebraic…

Let $Z$ be a projective geometrically integral algebraic variety. This paper is concerned with estimating the number of rational points on $Z$ which have height at most $B$. The bounds obtained are uniform in varieties of fixed degree and…

This is meant to be a survey article for the Cubo Journal. We discuss the existence and number of rational points over a finite field, the Hodge type over the complex numbers, and the motivic conjectures which are controlling those…

In this paper, the technique of foliations in characteristic $p$ is used to investigate the difference between rational connectedness and separable rational connectedness in positive characteristic. The notion of being freely rationally…

We consider countable linear orders and study the quasi-order of convex embeddability and its induced equivalence relation. We obtain both combinatorial and descriptive set-theoretic results, and further extend our research to the case of…

In this paper, we prove that: For any given finitely many distinct points $P_1,...,P_r$ and a closed subvariety $S$ of codimension $\geq 2$ in a complete toric variety over a uncountable (characteristic 0) algebraically closed field, there…

This work explores Everett John Nelson's connexive logic, outlined in his PhD thesis and partially summarized in his 1930 paper \emph{Intensional Relations}, which is obtained by extending the system $\mathsf{NL}$ (reconstructed by E. Mares…

The purpose of this paper is to present results and open problems related to R-places. The first section recalls basic facts, the second introduces R-places and their relationship with orderings and valuations. The third part involves Real…

We introduce a cohomology theory for a class of projective varieties over a finite field coming from the canonical trace on a C*-algebra attached to the variety. Using the cohomology, we prove the rationality, functional equation and the…

We study weak approximation on rationally connected varieties under an assumption of strong approximation for a "simple" variety or under Schinzel's hypothesis. We also get some unconditional results.

We study the relationship between several notions of connectedness arising in ${\mathbb A}^1$-homotopy theory of smooth schemes over a field $k$: ${\mathbb A}^1$-connectedness, stable ${\mathbb A}^1$-connectedness and motivic connectedness,…

We study rational streams (over a field) from a coalgebraic perspective. Exploiting the finality of the set of streams, we present an elementary and uniform proof of the equivalence of four notions of representability of rational streams:…
