Suppose V is a surface over a number field k that admits two elliptic fibrations. We show that for each integer d there exists an explicitly computable closed subset Z of V, not equal to V, such that for each field extension K of k of…

We prove that the Okounkov body of a big divisor with respect to a general flag on a smooth projective surface whose pseudo-effective cone is rational polyhedral decomposes as the Minkowski sum of finitely many simplices and line segments…

We study large groups of birational transformations Bir(X), where X is a variety of dimension at least 3, defined over C or a subfield of C. Two prominent cases are when X is the projective space, in which case Bir(X) is the Cremona group…

Let F and G be morphisms of degree at least 2 from P^N to P^N that are defined over the algebraic closure of Q. We define the arithmetic distance d(F,G) between F and G to be the supremum over all algebraic points P of |h_F(P)-h_G(P)|,…

The aim of this article is to prove Zariski density of crystalline representations in the rigid analytic space associated to the universal deformation ring of a d-dimensional mod p representation of Gal(\bar{K}/K) for any d and for any…

In this note we give a quick and simple proof of the existence (and uniqueness) of Zariski decompositions on surfaces. While Zariski's original proof employs a rather sophisticated procedure to construct the negative part of the…

We introduce a new generalization of the notion of preperiodic hypersurface and explore some of its basic ramifications. We also prove that among nonlinear endomorphisms of projective space, those with a periodic critical point are Zariski…

We consider heights of horizontal irreducible divisors on an arithmetic surface with respect to some hermitian line bundle. We obtain both lower and upper bounds for these heights. The results are different and sometimes stronger that those…

We point out an example of a projective family $\pi : X \to S$, a $\pi$-pseudoeffective divisor $D$ on $X$, and a subvariety $V \subset X$ for which the asymptotic multiplicity $\sigma_V(D;X/S)$ is infinite. This shows that the divisorial…

The original Fujita approximation theorem states that the volume of a big divisor $D$ on a projective variety $X$ can always be approximated arbitrarily closely by the self-intersection number of an ample divisor on a birational…

In this paper we show that a smooth toric variety $X$ of Picard number $r\leq 3$ always admits a nef primitive collection supported on a hyperplane admitting non-trivial intersection with the cone $\Nef(X)$ of numerically effective divisors…

This article is a continuation of a previous article which concerned the splitting problem for subspaces of superspaces. We begin with a general account of projective superspaces. Subsequently, we specialise to subvarieties of `positive'…

We investigate Zariski multiples of plane curves $Z_1, \dots, Z_N$ such that each $Z_i$ is a union of a smooth quartic curve, some of its bitangents, and some of its 4-tangent conics. We show that, for plane curves of this type, the…

The weighted bounded negativity conjecture considers a smooth projective surface $X$ and looks for a common lower bound on the quotients $C^2/(D\cdot C)^2$, where $C$ runs over the integral curves on $X$ and $D$ over the big and nef…

In this paper, we study the geometry of trisections on certain rational elliptic surfaces. We utilize Mumford representations of semi-reduced divisors in order to construct trisections and related plane curves with interesting properties…

Let f : X --> X be an endomorphism of a normal projective variety defined over a global field K, and let D_0,D_1,D_2,... be divisor classes that form a Jordan block with eigenvalue b for the action of f^* on Pic(X) tensored with C. We…

In this paper, we presents a method for factoring morphisms between arithmetic surfaces based on the regularity of arithmetic surfaces. Using this factorization, we derive a Riemann-Hurwitz formula satisfied by the ramification divisor and…

In this paper, we investigate properties of potential triples $(X,\Delta,D)$ which consists of a pair $(X,\Delta)$ and a pseudoeffective $\mathbb{R}$-Cartier divisor $D$. In particular, we show that if $D$ admits a birational Zariski…

We prove the Zariski dense orbit conjecture in positive characteristic for endomorphisms of $\mathbb{G}_a^N$ defined over $\overline{\mathbb{F}_p}$.

Let $X$ be a projective normal surface over a number field $K$. Let $H$ be the sum of four properly intersecting ample effective divisors on $X$. We show that any set of $S$-integral points in $X-H$ is not Zariski dense.
