We study the geometry of fully augmented link complements in $S^3$ by looking at their link diagrams. We extend the method introduced by Thistlethwaite and Tsvietkova to fully augmented links and define a system of algebraic equations in…
We obtain two parametric solutions of the diophantine equation $\phi(x_1, x_2, x_3)=\phi(y_1, y_2, y_3)$ where $\phi(x_1, x_2, x_3)$ is the octic form defined by $\phi(x_1, x_2, x_3)=x_1^8+ x_2^8 + x_3^8 - 2x_1^4x_2^4 - 2x_1^4x_3^4 -…
We prove an asymptotic for the number of additive triples of bijections $\{1,\dots,n\}\to\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$, that is, the number of pairs of bijections $\pi_1,\pi_2\colon \{1,\dots,n\}\to\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ such that the pointwise…
In this paper we study bielliptic curves of genus 3 defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ and the intersection of the moduli space $\M_3^b$ of such curves with the hyperelliptic moduli $\H_3$. Such intersection $\S$ is an…
A well-known open problem is to show that the cubic form $x^3+y^3+2z^3$ represents all integers. An obvious variant of this problem is whether every integer can be {\em primitively} represented by $x^3+y^3+2z^3$. In other words, given an…
Let $m\geq -1$ be an integer. We give a correspondence between integer solutions to the parametric family of cubic Thue equations \[ X^3-mX^2Y-(m+3)XY^2-Y^3=\lambda \] where $\lambda>0$ is a divisor of $m^2+3m+9$ and isomorphism classes of…
We solve the problem of determining under which conditions the monodromy of a vanishing cycle generates the whole homology of a regular fiber for a polynomial $f(x,y)=g(x)+h(y)$ where $h$ and $g$ are polynomials with real coefficients…
Let Y be a complex algebraic curve and let [Y]={X_1,...,X_n} be the set of all real algebraic curves X_i with complexification X_i(C)=Y, such that the real points X_i(R) divide X_i(C). We find all such families [Y]. According to Harnak…
The ancient unsolved problem of congruent numbers has been reduced to one of the major questions of contemporary arithmetic: the finiteness of the number of curves over $\bf Q$ which become isomorphic at every place to a given curve. We…
In this paper we present a new approach to counting the proportion of hyperelliptic curves of genus $g$ defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with a given $a$-number. In characteristic three this method gives exact probabilities for…
We find all solutions to the parametrized family of norm-form equations $x^3-(t^3-1)y^3+3(t^3-1)xy+(t^3-1)^2 = \pm 1$ studied by Amoroso, Masser and Zannier. Our proof relies upon an appeal to lower bounds for linear forms in logarithms and…
Let A be a finite set of integers. For a polynomial f(x_1,...,x_n) with integer coefficients, let f(A) = {f(a_1,...,a_n) : a_1,...,a_n \in A}. In this paper it is proved that for every pair of normalized binary linear forms f(x,y)=u_1x+v_1y…
We show that the Pythagoras number of rings of type $\mathbb{R}[x,y, \sqrt{f(x,y)}]$ is infinite, provided that the polynomial $f(x,y)$ satisfies some mild conditions.
We consider nonlinear, uniformly elliptic equations with random, highly oscillating coefficients satisfying a finite range of dependence. We prove that homogenization and linearization commute in the sense that the linearized equation…
Let F be a polarized irreducible holomorphic symplectic fourfold, deformation equivalent to the Hilbert scheme parametrizing length-two zero-dimensional subschemes of a K3 surface. The homology group H^2(F,Z) is equipped with an integral…
We prove and generalize some recent conjectures of Z.-W. Sun on infinite series whose summands involve products of harmonic numbers and several binomial coefficients. We evaluate various classes of infinite sums in closed form by…
On a $3$D manifold, a Weyl geometry consists of pairs $(g, A) =$ (metric, $1$-form) modulo gauge $\widehat{g} = {\rm e}^{2\varphi} g$, $\widehat{A} = A + {\rm d}\varphi$. In 1943, Cartan showed that every solution to the Einstein-Weyl…
We present a numerical method for solving Weyl's embedding problem which consists of finding a global isometric embedding of a positively curved and positive-definite spherical 2-metric into the Euclidean three space. The method is based on…
A formalism is given to count integer and rational solutions to polynomial equations with rational coefficients. These polynomials $P(x)$ are parameterized by three integers, labeling an elliptic curve. The counting of the rational…
