We give a proof of the Zilber--Pink conjecture for $n$-fold self-products of a curve $X$ inside the self-product of its Jacobian, when $X$ has appropriate bad reduction, its Jacobian has no extra endomorphisms, and $n$ is sufficiently…
We describe a practical algorithm for computing Brauer-Manin obstructions to the existence of rational points on hyperelliptic curves defined over number fields. This offers advantages over descent based methods in that its correctness does…
Building upon our arithmetic duality theorems for 1-motives, we prove that the Manin obstruction related to a finite subquotient $\Be (X)$ of the Brauer group is the only obstruction to the Hasse principle for rational points on torsors…
Let $g(x)$ be a fixed non-constant complex polynomial. It was conjectured by Schinzel that if $g(h(x))$ has boundedly many terms, then $h(x)\in \C[x]$ must also have boundedly many terms. Solving an older conjecture raised by R\'enyi and by…
We prove Demailly's Conjecture concerning the lower bound for the Waldschmidt constant in terms of the initial degree of the second symbolic powers for any set of generic points or very general points in $\mathbb{P}^N$. We also discuss the…
This note gives an explicit example of transcendental Brauer-Manin obstruction to weak approximation. It has two features which the only previously known example of such obstruction did not have: the class in the Brauer group which is…
We investigate local-global principles for multinorm equations over a global field. To this extent, we generalize work of Drakokhrust and Platonov to provide explicit and computable formulae for the obstructions to the Hasse principle and…
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…
Let $X$ be a rationally connected algebraic variety, defined over a number field $k$. We find a relation between the arithmetic of rational points on $X$ and the arithmetic of zero-cycles. More precisely, we consider the following…
Let F be a number field, and let F\subset K be a field extension of degree n. Suppose that we are given 2r sufficiently general linear polynomials in r variables over F. Let X be the variety over F such that the F-points of X bijectively…
Additive combinatorics asks for lower bounds on sumsets and restricted sumsets over finite fields. Central examples are the Cauchy-Davenport theorem and the Erd\H{o}s-Heilbronn conjecture. In this note, we develop Das's linear algebraic…
In this note we study the Landis conjecture for positive Schr\"odin\-ger operators on graphs. More precisely, we prove a Landis-type result in the form of a decay criterion that ensures when $\mathcal{H}$-harmonic functions for a positive…
We introduce a ``hybrid'' conjecture which is a common generalisation of the Andr\'e-Oort conjecture and the Andr\'e-Pink-Zannier conjecture and we prove that it is a consequence of the Zilber-Pink conjecture. We also show that our hybrid…
An algebraic condition for the singularity of certain T\"oplitz matrix pencils is derived which involves only the principal minors of the constant parts of the pencils. This leads to an algebraic conjecture which is equivalent to the…
Klein and Williams developed an obstruction theory for the homotopical equivariant fixed point problem, which asks whether an equivariant map can be deformed, through an equivariant homotopy, into another map with no fixed points…
We prove a new kind of estimate that holds on any manifold with lower Ricci bounds. It relates the geometry of two small balls with the same radius, potentially far apart, but centered in the interior of a common minimizing geodesic. It…
In 1971, McMullen and Walkup posed the following conjecture, which is called the generalized lower bound conjecture: If $P$ is a simplicial $d$-polytope then its $h$-vector $(h_0,h_1,...,h_d)$ satisfies $h_0 \leq h_1 \leq ... \leq…
We study the failure of the integral Hasse principle and strong approximation for the Erd\H{o}s-Straus conjecture using the Brauer-Manin obstruction.
The Shimura-Taniyama conjecture states that the Mellin transform of the Hasse-Weil L-function of any elliptic curve defined over the rational numbers is a modular form. Recent work of Wiles, Taylor-Wiles and Breuil-Conrad-Diamond-Taylor has…
We prove Breuil's lattice conjecture for higher Hodge-Tate weights in the case of $\mathrm{GL}_2(K)$ where $K$ is an unramified extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. More precisely, under some genericity conditions, we show that the lattice inside a…
