We consider equations of the form $a_{1}x_{1}^{k}+...+a_{s}x_{s}^{k}$ and when they have solutions in the primes. We define an analogue of the Hasse principle for solubility in the primes (which we call the prime Hasse principle), and prove…

In this paper we study the existence of rational points for the family of K3 surfaces over $\mathbb{Q}$ given by $$w^2 = A_1x_1^6 + A_2x_2^6 + A_3x_3^6.$$ When the coefficients are ordered by height, we show that the Brauer group is almost…

We give an equivalent condition for the validity of the Hasse norm principle for finite separable extensions of prime squared degree of global fields. Our theorem recovers the result of Drakokhrust--Platonov, which claims that the Hasse…

The formal group law of an elliptic curve has seen recent applications to computational algebraic geometry in the work of Couveignes to compute the order of an elliptic curve over finite fields of small characteristic. The purpose of this…

Given a number field $k$, we show that, for many finite groups $G$, all the Galois extensions of $k$ with Galois group $G$ cannot be obtained by specializing any given finitely many Galois extensions $E/k(T)$ with Galois group $G$ and $E/k$…

We give an 'arithmetic regularity lemma' for groups definable in finite fields, analogous to Tao's 'algebraic regularity lemma' for graphs definable in finite fields. More specifically, we show that, for any $M>0$, any finite field…

We give a computationally efficient method for constructing the linear differential operator with polynomial coefficients whose space of holomorphic solutions is spanned by all the branches of a function defined by a generic algebraic…

We describe recent work on the arithmetic properties of moduli spaces of stable vector bundles and stable parabolic bundles on a curve over a global field. In particular, we describe a connection between the period-index problem for Brauer…

Currently, the best upper bounds on the number of rational points on an absolutely irreducible, smooth, projective algebraic curve of genus g defined over a finite field F_q come either from Serre's refinement of the Weil bound if the genus…

We present a Galois theory of parameterized linear differential equations where the Galois groups are linear differential algebraic groups, that is, groups of matrices whose entries are functions of the parameters and satisfy a set of…

We exhibit an algorithm to compute equations of an algebraic curve over a computable characteristic 0 field from the power series expansions of its regular 1-forms at a nonrational point of the curve, extending a 2005 algorithm of Baker,…

We generalize a theorem of D. Rohrlich concerning root numbers of elliptic curves over the field of rational numbers. Our result applies to curves of all higher genera over number fields. Namely, under certain conditions which naturally…

We apply the differential Galois theory for difference equations developed by Hardouin and Singer to compute the differential Galois group for a second-order linear $q$-difference equation with rational function coefficients. This Galois…

We provide a characterization of infinite algebraic Galois extensions of the rationals with uniformly bounded local degrees, giving a detailed proof of all the results announced in a paper by Checcoli and Zannier and obtaining relevant…

Over any field of characteristic $0$, we prove that the homotopy exact sequence of algebraic fundamental groups for the universal curve with unordered marked points does not split. The same nonsplitting holds for the universal hyperelliptic…

We study a particular plane curve over a finite field whose normalization is of genus 0. The number of rational points of this curve achieves the Aubry-Perret bound for rational curves. The configuration of its rational points and a…

Let A be a commutative domain containing Z which is finitely generated as a Z-algebra, and let a,b,c be non-zero elements of A. It follows from work of Siegel, Mahler, Parry and Lang that the equation (*) ax+by=c has only finitely many…

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 develop an explicit method to express finite algebraic numbers (in particular, certain idempotents among them) in terms of linear recurrent sequences, and give applications to the characterization of the splitting primes…

This article deals with the Galois representation attached to elliptic curves with an isogeny of prime degree over a number field. We first determine uniform criteria for the irreducibility of Galois representations attached to elliptic…
