We construct new examples of cubic surfaces, for which the Hasse principle fails. Thereby, we show that, over every number field, the counterexamples to the Hasse principle are Zariski dense in the moduli scheme of non-singular cubic…
In this paper, we consider the following problem: Does there exist a cubic surface over $\mathbb{Q}$ which contains no line over $\mathbb{Q}$, yet contains a line over every completion of $\mathbb{Q}$? This question may be interpreted as…
We prove a variant of the Sylvester-Gallai theorem for cubics (algebraic curves of degree three): If a finite set of sufficiently many points in $\mathbb{R}^2$ is not contained in a cubic, then there is a cubic that contains exactly nine of…
Let k be a global field of characteristic not 2. The classical Hasse-Minkowski theorem states that if two quadratic forms become isomorphic over all the completions of k, then they are isomorphic over k as well. It is natural to ask whether…
We study the reciprocal position of nine points in the plane, according to their collinearities. In particular, we consider the case in which the nine points are contained in an irreducible cubic curve and we give their classification. If…
In this note, we discuss Hassett maximal cubic fourfolds and construct an explicit irreducible component of maximal dimension sixteen of the locus $\mathcal{Z}$ of Hassett maximal cubic fourfolds. We utilize algebraic and arithmetic methods…
A central question in Arithmetic geometry is to determine for which polynomials $f \in \mathbb{Z}[t]$ and which number fields $K$ the Hasse principle holds for the affine equation $f(t) = N_{K/\mathbb{Q}}(\boldsymbol{x}) \neq 0$. Whilst…
We show that if over some number field there exists a certain diagonal plane cubic curve that is locally solvable everywhere, but that does not have points over any cubic galois extension of the number field, then the algebraic part of the…
In this paper we establish a Hasse principle concerning the linear dependence over $\Z$ of nontorsion points in the Mordell-Weil group of an abelian variety over a number field.
In this note we give a p-adic proof of Hodge symmetry for smooth, projective threefolds over complex numbers.
Quadric hypersurfaces are well-known to satisfy the Hasse principle. However, this is no longer true in the case of the Hasse principle for integral points, where counter-examples are known to exist in dimension 1 and 2. This work explores…
The Cayley-Bacharach Theorem states that all cubic curves through eight given points in the plane also pass through a unique ninth point. We write that point as an explicit rational function in the other eight.
Let C be an algebraic curve defined over a number field K, of positive genus and without K-rational points. We conjecture that there exists some extension field L over which C violates the Hasse principle, i.e., has points everywhere…
A cubic hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^n$ defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ is given by the vanishing locus of a cubic form $f$ in $n+1$ variables. It is conjectured that when $n \geq 4$, such cubic hypersurfaces satisfy the Hasse principle. This is…
Let $F$ be a global field, let $\vp \in \Fx$ be a rational map of degree at least 2, and let $\a \in F$. We say that $\a $ is periodic if $\vpn (\a) = \a$ for some $n \geq 1$. A Hasse principle is the idea, or hope, that a phenomenon which…
For a general cubic fourfold $X \subset \mathbb{P}^5$, we compute the Hodge numbers of the locus $S \subset F$ of lines of second type. We also give an upper bound of 6 for the degree of irrationality of the Fano scheme of lines of any…
Fix $k,s,n\in \mathbb N$, and consider non-zero integers $c_1,\ldots ,c_s$, not all of the same sign. Provided that $s\ge k(k+1)$, we establish a Hasse principle for the existence of lines having integral coordinates lying on the affine…
In this paper, we show the Hasse principle for the character group of a finitely generated field over the rational number field. By applying this result, we obtain an algebraic proof of unramified class field theory of arithmetical schemes.
We extend non-emtpyness and irreducibility of Hassett divisors to the moduli spaces of $M$-polarizable cubic fourfolds for higher rank lattices $M$, which in turn provides a systematic approach for describing the irreducible components of…
This paper provides a new simple proof of Hesse's theorem in projective geometry for any dimension.
