Let $\mathbb{F}_p$ be a finite field of prime order $p$ and let $A \subset \mathbb{F}_p$ be a subset. In the dense regime when $|A| \geq \alpha p$ for some $\alpha \in (0,1)$, we determine the optimal constant $f(\alpha)$ in the inequality…

For every smooth del Pezzo surface $S$, smooth curve $C\in|-K_{S}|$ and $\beta\in(0,1]$, we compute the $\alpha$-invariant of Tian $\alpha(S,(1-\beta)C)$ and prove the existence of K\"ahler--Einstein metrics on $S$ with edge singularities…

For a Del Pezzo surface of degree 8 given over the rationals we decide whether there is a rational parametrization of the surface and construct one in the affirmative case. We define and use the Lie algebra of the surface to reach the aim.…

Let $f(x_1,...,x_k)$ be a polynomial over a field $K$. This paper considers such questions as the enumeration of the number of nonzero coefficients of $f$ or of the number of coefficients equal to $\alpha\in K^*$. For instance, if $K=\ff_q$…

Let $S\subset R^n$ be a compact basic semi-algebraic set defined as the real solution set of multivariate polynomial inequalities with rational coefficients. We design an algorithm which takes as input a polynomial system defining $S$ and…

The Casas-Alvero conjecture predicts that every univariate polynomial over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero sharing a common factor with each of its Hasse-Schmidt derivatives is a power of a linear polynomial. The…

A conjecture of Manin predicts the asymptotic distribution of rational points of bounded height on Fano varieties. In this paper we use conic bundles to obtain correct lower bounds or a wide class of surfaces over number fields for which…

We determine an asymptotic formula for the number of integral points of bounded height on a certain toric variety, which is incompatible with part of a preprint by Chambert-Loir and Tschinkel. We provide an alternative interpretation of the…

For any proper polynomial map $f:C^k\longrightarrow C^k$ define the function \alpha as $$\alpha(z):=\limsup_{n\to\infty} \frac{\log^+\log^+|f^n(z)|}{n} where \log^+:=\max(\log, 0).$$ Let f=(P_1,...,P_k) be a proper polynomial map. We define…

We study rational points on the elliptic surface given by the equation: $$y^2 = x^3 + AxQ(u,v)^2 + BQ(u,v)^3,$$ where $A,B\in \mathbb{Z}$ satisfy that $4A^3-27B^2\neq 0$ and $Q(u,v)$ is a positive-definite quadratic form. We prove…

We prove an asymptotic formula as $x\to +\infty$ for the number of algebraic integers $\alpha$ belonging to a fixed CM number field and satisfying $\alpha\overline{\alpha}\leq x$. This problem is related to the height zeta function…
