A $(d,k)$-set is a subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$ containing a $k$-dimensional unit ball of all possible orientations. Using an approach of D.~Oberlin we prove various Fourier dimension estimates for compact $(d,k)$-sets. Our main interest is in…

A Besicovitch-Rado-Kinney (BRK) set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is a Borel set that contains a $(n-1)$-dimensional sphere of radius $r$, for each $r>0$. It is known that such sets have Hausdorff dimension $n$ from the work of Kolasa and Wolff. In…

Using the ramification theory of tame and Kaplansky fields, we show that maximal Kaplansky fields contain maximal immediate extensions of each of their subfields. Likewise, algebraically maximal Kaplansky fields contain maximal immediate…

We consider surfaces with a double elliptic fibration, with two sections. We study the orbits under the induced translation automorphisms proving that, under natural conditions, the finite orbits are confined to a curve. This goes in a…

We give a short proof of an inequality, conjectured by Tsfasman and proved by Serre, for the maximum number of points on hypersurfaces over finite fields. Further, we consider a conjectural extension, due to Tsfasman and Boguslavsky, of…

We establish the sharp growth order, up to epsilon losses, of the $L^2$-norm of the maximal directional averaging operator along a finite subset $V$ of a polynomial variety of arbitrary dimension $m$, in terms of cardinality. This is an…

We give an expression for number of points for the family of Dwork K3 surfaces $$X_{\lambda}^4: \hspace{.1in} x_1^4+x_2^4+x_3^4+x_4^4=4\lambda x_1x_2x_3x_4$$ over finite fields of order $q\equiv 1\pmod 4$ in terms of Greene's finite field…

Fourier restriction theorems, whose study had been initiated by E.M. Stein, usually describe a family of a priori estimates of the L^q-norm of the restriction of the Fourier transform of a function f in L^p (say, on Euclidean space) to a…

We study abelian varieties and K3 surfaces with complex multiplication defined over number fields of fixed degree. We show that these varieties fall into finitely many isomorphism classes over an algebraic closure of the field of rational…

We prove some new instances of a conjecture of Bachoc, Couvreur and Z\'emor that generalizes Freiman's $3k-4$ Theorem to a multiplicative version in a function field setting. As a consequence we find that if $F$ is a rational function field…

In the previous article, we showed the Rasmussen-Tamagawa conjecture for QM-abelian surfaces over imaginary quadratic fields. In this article, we generalize the previous work to QM-abelian surfaces over number fields of higher degree. We…

Let $F$ be a totally real field and $K$ a finite abelian CM extension of $F$. Using class field theory, we show that our previous result giving a strong form of the Brumer-Stark conjecture implies the minus part of the equivariant Tamagawa…

Recently N. Levin (Comp. Math. 127 (2001), 1--21) proved the Tate conjecture for ordinary cubic fourfolds over finite fields. In this paper we prove the Tate conjecture for self-products of ordinary cubic fourfolds. Our proof is based on…

A (d,k) set is a subset of R^d containing a translate of every k-dimensional plane. Bourgain showed that for 2^{k-1}+k \geq d, every (d,k) set has positive Lebesgue measure. We give an L^p bound for the corresponding maximal operator.

We initiate the study of definable V-topolgies and show that there is at most one such V-topology on a t-henselian NIP field. Equivalently, we show that if $(K,v_1,v_2)$ is a bi-valued NIP field with $v_1$ henselian (resp. t-henselian) then…

Kronecker's Theorem and Rabin's Theorem are fundamental results about computable fields F and the decidability of the set of irreducible polynomials over F. We adapt these theorems to the setting of differential fields K, with constrained…

We study restriction problem in vector spaces over finite fields. We obtain finite field analogue of Mockenhaupt-Mitsis-Bak-Seenger restriction theorem, and we show that the range of the exponentials is sharp.

Arithmetic of K3 surfaces defined over finite fields is investigated. In particular, we show that any K3 surface of finite height over a finite field k of characteristic p > 3 has a quasi-canonical lifting to characteristic 0, and that for…

Let $X^n$ be a nonsingular hypersurface of degree $d\geq 2$ in the projective space $\mathbb{P}^{n+1}$ defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of $q$ elements. We prove a Homma-Kim conjecture on a upper bound about the number of…

We conjecture the existence of special elements in odd degree higher algebraic K-groups of number fields that are related in a precise way to the values at strictly negative integers of the derivatives of Artin L-functions of finite…
