A conjecture of Manin predicts the distribution of K-rational points on certain algebraic varieties defined over a number field K. In recent years, a method using universal torsors has been successfully applied to several hard special cases…

Let $n$ be a positive multiple of $4$. We establish an asymptotic formula for the number of rational points of bounded height on singular cubic hypersurfaces $S_n$ defined by $$ x^3=(y_1^2 + \cdots + y_n^2)z . $$ This result is new in two…

We prove an effective version of the Oppenheim conjecture with a polynomial error rate. The proof is based on an effective equidistribution theorem which in turn relies on recent progress towards restricted projection problem.

We give sharp sectional curvature estimates for complete immersed cylindrically bounded $m$-submanifolds $\phi:M\to N\times\mathbb{R}^{\ell}$, $n+\ell\leq 2m-1$ provided that either $\phi$ is proper with the second fundamental form with…

We prove a version of Manin's conjecture for a certain family of intrinsic quadrics, the base field being a global field of positive characteristic. We also explain how a very slight variation of the method we use allows to establish the…

We prove an extension of the well-known combinatorial-topological lemma of E. Sperner to the case of infinite-dimensional cubes. It is obtained as a corollary to an infinitary extension of the Lebesgue Covering Dimension Theorem.

We prove that any smooth cubic surface defined over any number field satisfies the lower bound predicted by Manin's conjecture possibly after an extension of small degree.

We prove a variant of Manin's conjecture for Campana points on wonderful compactifications of semi-simple algebraic groups of adjoint type. We use this to provide evidence for a new conjecture on the leading constant in Manin's conjecture…

We prove an asymptotic formula for a variant of the binary additive divisor problem with linear factors in the arguments, which has a power saving error term and which is uniform in all involved parameters.

We prove an asymptotic formula with power saving error term for a certain triple divisor sum.

We prove that all currently known examples of manifolds with nonnegative sectional curvature satisfy a stronger condition: their curvature operator can be modified with a 4-form to become positive-semidefinite.

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…

We establish power saving asymptotics for the sum of the divisor function along a binary quartic form, improving on work of Daniel. The proof involves an application of a recent two dimensional delta method due to Li, Rydin-Myerson, and…

We prove a quantitative version of Oppenheim's conjecture for generic ternary indefinite quadratic forms. Our results are inspired by and analogous to recent results for diagonal quadratic forms due to Bourgain.

We count rational points of bounded height on the non-normal senary quartic hypersurface x 4 = (y 2 1 + $\times$ $\times$ $\times$ + y 2 4)z 2 in the spirit of Manin's conjecture.

In this note we determine the set of expansions such that a partial cube is planar if and only if it arises by a sequence of such expansions from a single vertex. This corrects a result of Peterin.

Composed of square particles, the tetratic phase is characterised by a four-fold symmetry with quasi-long-range orientational order but no translational order. We construct the elastic free energy for tetratics and find a closed form…

Let $X^{(n)}$ denote $n$-th symmetric power of a cubic surface $X$. We show that $X^{(4)}\times X$ is stably birational to $X^{(3)}\times X$, despite examples when $X^{(4)}$ is not stably birational to $X^{(3)}$.

We prove the Batyrev-Manin conjecture for smooth equivariant compactifications of forms of $\mathbb{G}_a^n$ over a global function field $F$, assuming some conditions on the boundary divisor. To verify that the leading constant agrees with…

We prove a version of the Manin-Mumford conjecture for semiabelian varieties over fields of positive characteristic. The proof presented here contains the details of the proof sketched by the author in the article "Diophantine geometry from…
