We establish the Hasse Principle for systems of r simultaneous diagonal cubic equations whenever the number of variables exceeds 6r and the associated coefficient matrix contains no singular r x r submatrix, thereby achieving the…

We prove that the intersection of a Hirsch polytope and a cube may be a non-Hirsch polytope.

These notes give an elementary introduction to Lie groups, Lie algebras, and their representations. Designed to be accessible to graduate students in mathematics or physics, they have a minimum of prerequisites. Topics include definitions…

We study the integral Brauer--Manin obstruction for affine diagonal cubic surfaces, which we employ to construct the first counterexamples to the integral Hasse principle in this setting. We then count in three natural ways how such…

Ch\^atelet surfaces provide a rich source of geometrically rational surfaces which do not always satisfy the Hasse principle. Restricting attention to a special class of Ch\^atelet surfaces, we investigate the frequency that such…

Using the theory of mixed perverse sheaves, we extend arguments on the Hodge conjecture initiated by Lefschetz and Griffiths to the case of the Tate conjecture, and show that the Tate conjecture for divisors is closely related to the de…

We construct a conic bundle over an elliptic curve over a real quadratic field that is a counterexample to the Hasse principle not explained by the \'etale Brauer-Manin obstruction. We also give simple examples of threefolds with the same…

We investigate local-global principles for multinorm equations over a global field. To this extent, we generalize work of Drakokhrust and Platonov to provide explicit and computable formulae for the obstructions to the Hasse principle and…

We study the distribution of abelian extensions of bounded discriminant of a number field $k$ which fail the Hasse norm principle. For example, we classify those finite abelian groups $G$ for which a positive proportion of $G$-extensions of…

We investigate the $\lambda$-invariants of Mazur--Tate elements of elliptic curves defined over the field of rational numbers at primes of additive reduction. We explain their growth and how these invariants relate to other better…

This work provides a unified formalism for studying difference and (Hasse-) differential algebraic geometry, by introducing a theory of "iterative Hasse rings and schemes". As an application, Hasse jet spaces are constructed generally,…

Let $E/\mathbb Q$ be an elliptic curve and $p \geq 3$ a prime. The modular curve $X_E^-(p)$ parametrizes elliptic curves with $p$-torsion modules anti-symplectically isomorphic to $E[p]$. We give a complete classification of when…

In this note we elaborate on a recent counter-example to the Nelson-Seiberg theorem and to its generalizations. We provide sufficient conditions for the existence of such counter-examples, finding new ones. We claim that these…

We construct uncountably categorical 3-nilpotent groups of exponent p > 3. They are not one-based and do not allow the interpretation of an infinite field. Therefore they are counterexamples to Zilbers Conjecture. First 2-nilpotent new…

For Ch\^atelet surfaces defined over number fields, we study two arithmetic properties, the Hasse principle and weak approximation, when passing to an extension of the base field. Generalizing a construction of Y. Liang, we show that for an…

Let $E$ be a semistable elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$. We prove that if $E$ has non-split multiplicative reduction at at least one odd prime or split multiplicative reduction at at least two odd primes and if the rank of $E(\mathbb{Q})$…

Let $K/k$ be an extension of number fields. We describe theoretical results and computational methods for calculating the obstruction to the Hasse norm principle for $K/k$ and the defect of weak approximation for the norm one torus…

Turing's famous 'machine' framework provides an intuitively clear conception of 'computing with real numbers'. A recursive counterexample to a theorem shows that the theorem does not hold when restricted to computable objects. These…

We consider equations of the form $a_{1}x_{1}^{k}+...+a_{s}x_{s}^{k}$ and when they have solutions in the primes. We define an analogue of the Hasse principle for solubility in the primes (which we call the prime Hasse principle), and prove…

We construct a (smooth, projective) surface over the field of rational numbers, which is a counterexample to the Hasse principle not accounted for by the Manin obstruction. The construction relies on the classical 4-descent on elliptic…
