Ulam asked in 1945 if there is an everywhere dense \emph{rational set}, i.e. a point set in the plane with all its pairwise distances rational. Erd\H os conjectured that if a set $S$ has a dense rational subset, then $S$ should be very…

We prove the following result. Let k be an infinite perfect field of positive characteristic and assume that strong resolution of singularities holds over k. Let R be a localization of a commutative d-dimensional k-algebra of finite type…

In this paper we show the lower bound of the set of non-zero $-K^2$ for normal surface singularities establishing that this set has no accumulation points from above. We also prove that every accumulation point from below is a rational…

Let $K$ be the function field of a smooth curve over an algebraically closed field $k$. Let $X$ be a scheme, which is smooth and projective over $K$. Suppose that the cotangent bundle $\Omega_{X/K}$ is ample. Let $R:={\rm Zar}(X)(K)\cap X)$…

We investigate configurations of rational double points with the total Milnor number 21 on supersingular $K3$ surfaces. The complete list of possible configurations is given. As an application, we also give the complete list of extremal…

Kollar and Ruan proved symplectic deformation invariance for uniruledness of Kaehler manifolds. Zhiyu Tian proved the same for rational connectedness in dimension < 4. Kollar conjectured this in all dimensions. We prove Kollar's conjecture,…

A closed-form expression is obtained for the density of a simple layer, equipotential to an oblate level ellipsoid of revolution in an outer space. The potential of any level spheroid of positive mass with the inward direction of attracting…

The main purpose of the paper is to establish a closedness theorem over Henselian valued fields $K$ of equicharacteristic zero (not necessarily algebraically closed) with separated analytic structure. It says that every projection with a…

Given a family of varieties over the projective line, we study the density of fibres that are everywhere locally soluble in the case that components of higher multiplicity are allowed. We use log geometry to formulate a new sparsity…

In the toric variety $\mathcal{T}$, with Cox ring graded by $\deg(z_{2i})=(1,-1,0)$, $\deg(z_{2i+1})=(1,0,-1)$ and $\deg(w_\pm)=(0,1,0),(0,0,1)$, we study hypersurfaces $\widetilde{X}^{2n}\subset\mathcal T$ of multidegree $(2d+1,-d,-d)$…

We derive an asymptotic formula which counts the number of abelian extensions of prime degrees over rational function fields. Specifically, let $\ell$ be a rational prime and $K$ a rational function field $\Bbb F_q(t)$ with $\ell \nmid q$.…

Let $X \subset \mathbb{P}^n$ be a non-singular hypersurface of degree $d>1$, and let $\epsilon>0$. This paper is concerned with the conjecture that there are $O(B^{n-1+\epsilon})$ rational points on $X$ that have height at most $B$, in…

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…

We prove a dynamical Shafarevich theorem on the finiteness of the set of isomorphism classes of rational maps with fixed degeneracies. More precisely, fix an integer d at least 2 and let K be either a number field or the function field of a…

In this paper we introduce new densities on the set of primes of a number field. If $K/K_0$ is a Galois extension of number fields, we associate to any element $x \in {\rm Gal}_{K/K_0}$ a density $\delta_{K/K_0,x}$ on primes of $K$. In…

Building on our previous work on rigid analytic uniformizations, we introduce Darmon points on Jacobians of Shimura curves attached to quaternion algebras over Q and formulate conjectures about their rationality properties. Moreover, if K…

We consider a rational surface with a relatively minimal fibration. Picard number of a such fibred surface is bounded in terms of the genus of a general fibre. When Picard number is the maximum for any given genus, we characterize a such…

We consider the question of which quadratic fields have elliptic curves with everywhere good reduction. By revisiting work of Setzer, we expand on congruence conditions that determine the real and imaginary quadratic fields with elliptic…

Given an algebraic function field $F|K$ and a place $\wp$ on $K$, we prove that the places that are composite with extensions of $\wp$ to finite extensions of $K$ lie dense in the space of all places of $F$, in a strong sense. We apply the…
