We prove that in positive characteristic, the Manin-Mumford conjecture implies the Mordell-Lang conjecture, in the situation where the ambient variety is an abelian variety defined over the function field of a smooth curve over a finite…

We here aim to complete our model-theoretic account of the function field Mordell-Lang conjecture, avoiding appeal to dichotomy theorems for Zariski geometries, where we now consider the general case of semiabelian varieties. The main…

We give a complete proof for the implication from the Manin-Mumford conjecture to the Mordell-Lang conjecture in positive characteristic, using integral models of semi-abelian varieties over a ring of formal power series, and the machinery…

We prove a version of the Manin-Mumford conjecture for semiabelian varieties over fields of positive characteristic. The proof presented here contains the details of the proof sketched by the author in the article "Diophantine geometry from…

Assume that $ACF$ denotes the theory of algebraically closed fields. The renowned theorem of A. Tarski states that $ACF$ admits quantifier elimination. In this paper we give a constructive proof of Tarski's theorem on quantifier elimination…

We study an open question at the interplay between the classical and the dynamical Mordell-Lang conjectures in positive characteristic. Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, let $G$ be a finitely generated…

The aim of this work is to present a possible adaptation of the Manin-Mumford conjecture to the $T-$modules, a mathematical object which has been introduced in the 1980's by G. Anderson as the natural analogue of the abelian varieties in…

We give a new proof of the Mordell-Lang conjecture in positive characteristic, in the situation where the variety under scrutiny is a smooth subvariety of an abelian variety. Our proof is based on the theory of semistable sheaves in…

We establish relative quantifier elimination for valued fields of residue characteristic zero enriched with a non-surjective valued field endomorphism, building on recent work of Dor and Halevi. In particular, we deduce relative quantifier…

We give a short proof of Macintyre's Theorem on Quantifier Elimination for the p-adic numbers, using a version of monomialization that follows directly from the Weak Toroidalization Theorem of Abramovich an Karu (extended to non-closed…

Let $T$ be a complete strongly geometric theory of fields with quantifier elimination. We show that the theory of lovely pairs of $T$ has quantifier elimination in Delon's definitional expansion by predicates for linear independence and…

We prove some results about the model theory of fields with a derivation of the Frobenius map, especially that the model companion of this theory is axiomatizable by axioms used by Wood in the case of the theory $\operatorname{DCF}_p$ and…

We prove a quantitative partial result in support of the Dynamical Mordell-Lang Conjecture (also known as the DML conjecture) in positive characteristic. More precisely, we show the following: given a field $K$ of characteristic $p$, given…

We introduce a number field analogue of the Mertens conjecture and demonstrate its falsity for all but finitely many number fields of any given degree. We establish the existence of a logarithmic limiting distribution for the analogous…

We give a sufficient condition for a model theoretic structure $B$ to 'inherit' quantifier elimination from another structure $A$. This yields an alternative proof of one of the main result from \cite{kle}, namely quantifier elimination for…

In this short note, we will show the following weak evidence of S. Lang conjecture over function fields. Let f : X ---> Y be a projective and surjective morphism of algebraic varieties over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic…

We show that the theories of some (ordered) central simple algebras with involution over real closed fields are model-complete or admit quantifier elimination, and characterize positive cones in terms of morphisms into models of some of…

We solve the dynamical Mordell-Lang conjecture for bounded-degree dynamical systems in positive characteristic. The answer in this case disproves the original version of the pDML conjecture.

We present an application of elimination theory to the study of singularities over arbitrary fields, particularly to the open problem of resolution. A partial extension of a function, defining resolution of singularities over fields of…

We introduce a qualitative conjecture, in the spirit of Campana, to the effect that certain subsets of rational points on a variety over a number field, or a Deligne-Mumford stack over a ring of S-integers, cannot be Zariski dense. The…
