Let A be an arbitrary integral domain of characteristic 0 which is finitely generated over Z. We consider Thue equations $F(x,y)=b$ with unknowns x,y from A and hyper- and superelliptic equations $f(x)=by^m$ with unknowns from A, where the…
A classical result about unit equations says that if $\Gamma_1$ and $\Gamma_2$ are finitely generated subgroups of $\mathbb C^\times$, then the equation $x+y=1$ has only finitely many solutions with $x\in\Gamma_1$ and $y\in \Gamma_2$. We…
This paper is motivated by the results and questions of Jason P. Bell and Kevin G. Hare in the paper "On $\mathbb{Z}$-modules of algebraic integers" (Canad. J. Math. Vol. 61, 2009). Let $\mathcal{O}$ be a finitely generated…
We show that only a rather small proportion of linear equations are solvable in elements of a fixed finitely generated subgroup of a multiplicative group of a number field. The argument is based on modular techniques combined with a…
Let $K$ be a number field, and $S$ a finite set of places in $K$ containing all infinite places. We present an implementation for solving the $S$-unit equation $x + y = 1$, $x,y \in\mathscr{O}_{K,S}^\times$ in the computer algebra package…
We prove that all finitely generated fully residually free groups (limit groups) have a sequence of finite dimensional unitary representations that `strongly converge' to the regular representation of the group. The corresponding statement…
For any elements b,c of a number field K, let G(b,c) denote the backwards orbit of b under the map f_c: C-->C given by f_c(x)=x^2+c. We prove an upper bound on the number of elements of G(b,c) whose degree over K is at most some constant B.…
A domain $R$ is said to have the finite factorization property if every nonzero non-unit element of $R$ has at least one and at most finitely many distinct factorizations up to multiplication of irreducible factors by central units. Let $k$…
While currently the $abc$ conjecture and work towards it remains open or is disputed, at the same time much work has been done on weaker versions, as well as on its generalisation to number fields. Given integers satisfying $a+b=c$, Stewart…
For a large class (heuristically most) of irreducible binary cubic forms $F(x,y) \in \mathbb Z[x,y]$, Bennett and Dahmen proved that the generalized superelliptic equation $F(x,y)=z^l$ has at most finitely many solutions in $x,y \in \mathbb…
We consider the Catalan equation $x^p - y^q = 1$ in unknowns $x, y, p, q$, where $x, y$ are taken from an integral domain $A$ of characteristic $0$ that is finitely generated as a $\mathbb{Z}$-algebra and $p, q > 1$ are integers. We give…
We prove that the genus of a finite-dimensional division algebra is finite whenever the center is a finitely generated field of any characteristic. We also discuss potential applications of our method to other problems, including the…
We give a series of very general sufficient conditions in order to ensure the uniqueness of large solutions for --$\Delta$u + f (x, u) = 0 in a bounded domain $\Omega$ where f : $\Omega$ x R $\rightarrow$ R + is a continuous function, such…
We classify integer abc-equations c = a + b (to be defined), according to their radical R(abc) and prove that the resulting equivalence classes contain only a finite number of such equations. The proof depends on a 1933 theorem of Kurt…
Let $G$ be a connected reductive group scheme acting on a spherical scheme $X$. In the case where $G$ is of type $A_n$, Aizenbud and Avni proved the existence of a number $C$ such that the multiplicity $\dim\hom(\rho,\mathbb{C}[X(F)])$ is…
This work is motivated by the papers [EG85] and [Ngu15] in which the following two problems are solved. Let $\mathcal{O}$ is a finitely generated $\mathbb{Z}$-algebra that is an integrally closed domain of characteristic zero, consider the…
For R(z, w) rational with complex coefficients, of degree at least 2 in w, we show that the number of rational functions f(z) solving the difference equation f(z+1)=R(z, f(z)) is finite and bounded just in terms of the degrees of R in the…
Let $G$ be the linear algebraic group $SL_3$ over a field $k$ of characteristic two. Let $A$ be a finitely generated commutative $k$-algebra on which $G$ acts rationally by $k$-algebra automorphisms. We show that the full cohomology ring…
We prove finiteness results on integral points on complements of large divisors in projective varieties over finitely generated fields of characteristic zero. To do so, we prove a function field analogue of arithmetic finiteness results of…
