We first find a sufficient condition for a product of theta constants to be a Siegel modular function of a given even level. And, when $K_{(2p)}$ denotes the ray class field of $K=\mathbb{Q}(e^{2\pi i/5})$ modulo $2p$ for an odd prime $p$,…

We prove the existence of curves of genus $7$ and $12$ over the field with $11^5$ elements, reaching the Hasse-Weil-Serre upper bound. These curves are quotients of modular curves and we give explicit equations. We compute the number of…

In this note, a class of error-correcting codes is associated to a toric variety associated to a fan defined over a finite field $\fff_q$, analogous to the class of Goppa codes associated to a curve. For such a ``toric code'' satisfying…

An analogue over imaginary quadratic fields of a result in algebraic number theory known as Ihara's lemma is established. More precisely, we show that for a prime ideal P of the ring of integers of an imaginary quadratic field F, the kernel…

In this paper we study random linear systems with $k$ variables per equation over the finite field GF(2), or equivalently $k$-XOR-CNF formulas. In a previous paper Creignou and Daud\'e proved that the phase transition for the consistency…

Given a subgroup $\Gamma$ of rational points on an elliptic curve $E$ defined over ${\mathbf Q}$ of rank $r \ge 1$ and any sufficiently large $x \ge 2$, assuming that the rank of $\Gamma$ is less than $r$, we give upper and lower bounds on…

In this paper we consider the sup-norm problem in the context of analytic Eisenstein series for $GL(2)$ over number fields. We prove a hybrid bound which is sharper than the corresponding bound for Maa{\ss} forms. Our results generalise…

We introduce in this article a new method to estimate the minimum distance of codes from algebraic surfaces. This lower bound is generic, i.e. can be applied to any surface, and turns out to be ``liftable'' under finite morphisms, paving…

We use the notion of an Etesi $C^*$-algebra to prove that the real class field towers are always finite.

We prove a quantitative lower bound on the number of nodal domains of the real-analytic Eisenstein series. The main tool in the proof is a quantitative restricted QUE theorem where the support of the test function is allowed to shrink with…

Let $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ be a finite field of order $q=p^k$ where $p$ is prime. Let $P$ and $L$ be sets of points and lines respectively in $\mathbb{F}_{q} \times \mathbb{F}_{q}$ with $|P|=|L|=n$. We establish the incidence bound $I(P,L) \leq…

This paper goes beyond Katz-Sarnak theory on the distribution of curves over finite fields according to their number of rational points, theoretically, experimentally and conjecturally. In particular, we give a formula for the limits of the…

We present a new structure called the "conservative matrix field", initially developed to elucidate and provide insight into the methodologies employed by Ap\'ery's in his proof of the irrationality of the Riemann zeta function at 3. This…

For a finite simple graph $G$ we give an upper bound for the regularity of the powers of the edge ideal $I(G)$.

Let $B(g,p)$ denote the number of isomorphism classes of $g$-dimensional abelian varieties over the finite field of size $p.$ Let $A(g,p)$ denote the number of isomorphism classes of principally polarized $g$ dimensional abelian varieties…

For a set $A$ of $k$ elements from an additive abelian group $G$ and a positive integer $r \leq k$, we consider the set of elements of $G$ that can be written as a sum of $h$ elements of $A$ with at least $r$ distinct elements. We denote…

For every finite collection C of abelian varieties over F_q, we produce an explicit upper bound on the genus of curves over F_q whose Jacobians are isogenous to a product of powers of elements of C.

An upper bound on degrees of elements of a minimal generating system for invariants of quivers of dimension (2,...,2) is established over a field of arbitrary characteristic and its precision is estimated. The proof is based on the…

Let G be a linear algebraic group defined over a finite field F_q. We present several connections between the isogenies of G and the finite groups of rational points G(F_q^n). We show that an isogeny from G' to G over F_q gives rise to a…

A curve X over the field Q of rational numbers is modular if it is dominated by X_1(N) for some N; if in addition the image of its jacobian in J_1(N) is contained in the new subvariety of J_1(N), then X is called a new modular curve. We…
