Let $p \geq 3$ be a prime. Let $E/\mathbb{Q}$ and $E'/\mathbb{Q}$ be elliptic curves with isomorphic $p$-torsion modules $E[p]$ and $E'[p]$. Assume further that either (i) every $G_\mathbb{Q}$-modules isomorphism $\phi : E[p] \to E'[p]$…

We study an interplay between operator algebras and geometry of rational elliptic curves. Namely, let $\mathcal{O}_B$ be the Cuntz-Krieger algebra given by square matrix $B=(b-1, ~1, ~b-2, ~1)$, where $b$ is an integer greater or equal to…

We consider the Chow ring with rational coefficients of the Jacobian of a curve. Assume D is a divisor in a base point free g^r_d of the curve such that the canonical divisor K is a multiple of the divisor D. We find relations between…

Let E be the supersingular elliptic curve defined over k, the algebraic closure of the finite field with two elements, which is unique up to k-isomorphism. Denote by 0 its identity element and let C be the quotient of E-{0} under the action…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ and without complex multiplication. For a prime $p$ of good reduction for $E$, we write $\#E_p(\mathbb{F}_p) = p + 1 - a_p(E)$ for the number of $\mathbb{F}_p$-rational points of the…

Let A be an abelian threefold defined over a number field K with potential multiplication by an imaginary quadratic field M. If A has signature (2,1) and the multiplication by M is defined over an at most quadratic extension, we attach to A…

For a finite group $G$, let $\H_{g,G,\xi}$ be the stack of admissible $G$-covers $C\to D$ of stable curves with ramification data $\xi$, $g(C)=g$ and $g(D)=g'$. There are source and target morphisms $\phi\colon \H_{g,G,\xi}\to \M_{g,r}$ and…

We study rational points on ramified covers of abelian varieties over certain infinite Galois extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$. In particular, we prove that every elliptic curve $E$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ has the weak Hilbert property of…

We investigate degree bounds for fields of rational invariants of representations of finite groups. We prove many cases of a bound for $\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$ conjectured by Blum-Smith, Garcia, Hidalgo, and Rodriguez. For arbitrary groups,…

We continue our previous work to prove that for any non-minimal ruled surface $(M,\omega)$, the stability under symplectic deformations of $\pi_0, \pi_1$ of $Symp(M,\omega)$ is guided by embedded $J$-holomorphic curves. Further, we prove…

We show that any smooth projective cubic hypersurface of dimension at least $29$ over the rationals contains a rational line. A variation of our methods provides a similar result over p-adic fields. In both cases, we improve on previous…

Let F be the cubic field of discriminant -23 and O its ring of integers. Let Gamma be the arithmetic group GL_2 (O), and for any ideal n subset O let Gamma_0 (n) be the congruence subgroup of level n. In a previous paper, two of us (PG and…

The $p$-spectral radius of a graph $G\ $of order $n$ is defined for any real number $p\geq1$ as \[ \lambda^{\left( p\right) }\left( G\right) =\max\left\{ 2\sum_{\{i,j\}\in E\left( G\right) \ }x_{i}x_{j}:x_{1},\ldots,x_{n}\in\mathbb{R}\text{…

Let $\Sigma$ be a smooth projective surface, let $f' : S' \to \Sigma$ be a double cover of $\Sigma$ and let $\mu : S \to S'$ be the canonical resolution. Put $f = f'\circ\mu$. An irreducible curve $C$ on $\Sigma$ is said to be a splitting…

Consider genus $g$ curves that admit degree $d$ covers to elliptic curves only branched at one point with a fixed ramification type. The locus of such covers forms a one parameter family $Y$ that naturally maps into the moduli space of…

We show that for any elliptic curve (with j invariant not 0 or 1728) over any field of characteristic different from 2 and 3, there exists an hyperelliptic curve H of genus 5 with two independent maps to the given elliptic curve. We also…

In this thesis, we study the Berkovich skeleton of an algebraic curve over a discretely valued field $K$. We do this using coverings $C\rightarrow{\mathbb{P}^{1}}$ of the projective line. To study these coverings, we take the Galois closure…

A (projective, geometrically irreducible, non-singular) curve $\mathcal{X}$ defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$ is maximal if the number $N_{q^2}$ of its $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$-rational points attains the Hasse-Weil upper bound, that…

We explore distribution questions for rational maps on the projective line $\mathbb{P}^1$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ within the framework of arithmetic dynamics, drawing analogies to elliptic curves. Specifically, we investigate counting problems…
