We give an algorithm which requires no integer factorization for computing the canonical height of a point in $\mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{Q})$ relative to a morphism $\phi: \mathbb{P}_{\mathbb{Q}}^1 \rightarrow \mathbb{P}_{\mathbb{Q}}^1$ of…

In the 1980's Serre asked how many points of bounded height can lie in a thin set. This has motivated significant research ever since, culminating in a series of recent breakthroughs. It is a good time to take stock of the central questions…

In this book, we establish a theory of adelic line bundles over quasi-projective varieties over finitely generated fields. Besides definitions of adelic line bundles, we consider their intersection theory, volume theory, and height theory,…

The purpose of this article is twofold. On the one hand, we prove asymptotic formulas for the quantitative distribution of rational points on any smooth non-split projective quadratic surface. We obtain the optimal error term for the real…

The goal of this paper is to obtain lower bounds on the height of an algebraic number in a relative setting, extending previous work of Amoroso and Masser. Specifically, in our first theorem we obtain an effective bound for the height of an…

We prove that the absolute extendability constant of a finite metric space may be determined by computing relative projection constants of certain Lipschitz-free spaces. As an application, we show that $\mbox{ae}(3)=4/3$ and…

We give bounds for exponential sums over curves defined over Galois rings. We first define summation subsets as the images of lifts of points from affine opens of the reduced curve, and we give bounds for the degrees of their coordinate…

We consider operators arising from regular Dirichlet forms with vanishing killing term. We give bounds for the bottom of the (essential) spectrum in terms of exponential volume growth with respect to an intrinsic metric. As special cases we…

The famous Banach Contraction Principle holds in complete metric spaces, but completeness is not a necessary condition -- there are incomplete metric spaces on which every contraction has a fixed point. The aim of this paper is to present…

A set of algebraic numbers has the Northcott property if each of its subsets of bounded Weil height is finite. Northcott's Theorem, which has many Diophantine applications, states that sets of bounded degree have the Northcott property.…

We derive asymptotic formulas for the number of rational points on a smooth projective quadratic hypersurface of dimension at least three inside of a shrinking adelic open neighbourhood. This is a quantitative version of weak approximation…

We exhibit a probabilistic algorithm which computes a rational point of an absolutely irreducible variety over a finite field defined by a reduced regular sequence. Its time--space complexity is roughly quadratic in the logarithm of the…

Let $K/\mathbb{Q}$ be a finite extension. We prove that the minimal height of polynomials of degree $n$ of which all roots are in $K^\times$ increases exponentially in $n$. We determine the implied constant exactly for totally real $K$ and…

We consider maximum principles and related estimates for linear second order elliptic partial differential operators in n-dimensional Euclidean space, which improve previous results, with H-J Kuo, through sharp Lp dependence on the drift…

Let $N_n(X)$ denote the number of degree $n$ number fields with discriminant bounded by $X$. In this note, we improve the best known upper bounds on $N_n(X)$, finding that $N_n(X) = O(X^{ c (\log n)^2})$ for an explicit constant $c$.

Let $(C,p_1,\ldots,p_n)$ be a fixed general pointed curve and let $(X,x_1,\ldots,x_n)$ be a smooth hypersurface of degree $e$ and dimension $r$ with $n$ general points. We consider the problem of enumerating maps $f:C\to X$ of degree $d$…

Let U be a homogeneous variety over Q of a linear algebraic group. Choose an integral model and assume the existence of infinitely many integral points. Then one would like to give an asymptotic count of integral points of bounded height…

We demonstrate the Batyrev-Manin Conjecture for the number of points of bounded height on hypersurfaces of some toric varieties.. The method used is inspired by the one developed by Schindler for the study the case of hypersurfaces of…

We consider the following question. Suppose that $d\ge2$ and $n$ are fixed, and that $\theta_1,\theta_2,\dots,\theta_n$ are $n$ specified angles. How many points do we need to place in $\mathbb{R}^d$ to realise all of these angles? A simple…

Let $v$ be a finite place of a number field $K$ and write $K^{nr,v}$ for the maximal field extension of $K$ in which $v$ is unramified. The purpose of this paper is split up into two parts. The first one generalizes a theorem of Pottmeyer:…
