We prove the existence of a gap around zero for canonical height functions associated to endomorphisms of projective spaces defined over complex function fields. We also prove that if the rational points of height zero are Zariski dense,…

Simultaneous Diophantine approximation is concerned with the approximation of a point $\mathbf x\in\mathbb R^d$ by points $\mathbf r\in\mathbb Q^d$, with a view towards jointly minimizing the quantities $\|\mathbf x - \mathbf r\|$ and…

We conjecture a lower bound for the minimal canonical height of non-torsion rational points on a natural density 1 subset of the sextic twist family of Mordell curves. We then establish a lower bound that yields a partial result towards…

Let $\{w_{i,j}\}_{1\leq i\leq n, 1\leq j\leq s} \subset L_m=F(X_1,...,X_m)[{\partial \over \partial X_1},..., {\partial \over \partial X_m}]$ be linear partial differential operators of orders with respect to ${\partial \over \partial…

The norm of the gradient $\nabla$f (x) measures the maximum descent of a real-valued smooth function f at x. For (nonsmooth) convex functions, this is expressed by the distance dist(0, $\partial$f (x)) of the subdifferential to the origin,…

In this article, we explicitly construct a canonical basis for the space of certain weakly holomorphic Drinfeld modular forms for $\Gamma_0(T)$ (resp., for $\Gamma_0^+(T)$) and compute the generating function satisfied by the basis…

In this note we give an upper bound on the Hausdorff dimension of removable setsfor elliptic and canceling homogeneous differential operators with constant coefficients in the class of bounded functions, using a simple extension of…

This paper proves explicit bilipschitz bounds on the change in metric between the thick part of a cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold N and the thick part of any of its long Dehn fillings. Given a bilipschitz constant J > 1 and a thickness…

Let F and G be morphisms of degree at least 2 from P^N to P^N that are defined over the algebraic closure of Q. We define the arithmetic distance d(F,G) between F and G to be the supremum over all algebraic points P of |h_F(P)-h_G(P)|,…

We study the essential minimum of the (stable) Faltings height on the moduli space of elliptic curves. We prove that, in contrast to the Weil height on a projective space and the N{\'e}ron-Tate height of an abelian variety, Faltings' height…

It is often stated that the Carlitz module is to the ring of univariate polynomials over a finite field what the multiplicative group is to the ring of integers. This analogy extends to the "rank 2" case, where Drinfeld modules play a role…

Let $\Lambda$ be an artin algebra. We give an upper bound for the dimension of the bounded derived category of the category $\mod \Lambda$ of finitely generated right $\Lambda$-modules in terms of the projective and injective dimensions of…

In this work we investigate unions of lifted MRD codes of a fixed dimension and minimum distance and derive an explicit formula for the cardinality of such codes. This will then imply a lower bound on the cardinality of constant dimension…

Given a subgroup $\Gamma$ of rational points on an elliptic curve $E$ defined over ${\mathbf Q}$ of rank $r \ge 1$ and any sufficiently large $x \ge 2$, assuming that the rank of $\Gamma$ is less than $r$, we give upper and lower bounds on…

We construct and study a natural compactification $\overline{M}^r(N)$ of the moduli scheme $M^r(N)$ for rank-$r$ Drinfeld $\F_q[T]$-modules with a structure of level $N \in \F_q[T]$. Namely, $\overline{M}^r(N) = {\rm Proj}\,{\bf Eis}(N)$,…

Certain lower bounds are obtained on the canonical height associated to the morphism $\phi(z)=z^d+c$.

We show that the module of integral points on a Drinfeld module satisfies a an analogue of Dirichlet's unit theorem, despite its failure to be finitely generated. As a consequence, we obtain a construction of a canonical finitely generated…

We present a dynamical proof of the well-known fact that the Neron-Tate canonical height (and its local counterpart) takes rational values at points of an elliptic curve over a function field k of transcendence degree 1 over an…

Amoroso and Masser proved that for every real $\epsilon > 0$, there exists a constant $c(\epsilon)>0$, such that for every algebraic number $\alpha$ with $\mathbb{Q}(\alpha)/\mathbb{Q}$ being a Galois extension, the height of $\alpha$ is…

We present a new notion of distribution and derived distribution of rank $r \in \mathbb{N}$ for a global function field $K$ with a distinguished place $\infty$. It allows to describe the relations between division points, isogenies, and…
