This is a small note on Manin's 1966 article on rational surfaces over perfect fields, the conjecture he formulates there, and later developments. This text is by no means exhaustive and reflects the author's understanding and interest.…
Corvaja and Zannier conjectured that an abelian variety over a number field satisfies a modified version of the Hilbert property. We investigate their conjecture for products of elliptic curves using Kawamata's structure result for ramified…
This text is devoted to the theory of varieties, which provides an important tool, based in universal algebra, for the classification of regular languages. In the introductory section, we present a number of examples that illustrate and…
These informal notes, not intended for publication, provide an approach to the Borsuk--Ulam theorem via Stokes' theorem, in a similar spirit to Lima's proof of the Brouwer fixed point theorem. They are intended to be accessible to anyone…
We give a concise and accessible introduction to the real-analytic determinant method for counting integral points on algebraic curves, based on the classic 1989 paper of Bombieri and Pila.
We establish a variety of extensions to the Erdos-Rado Theorem, particularly involving ordinal numbers, and always involving ordinary partition relations. Most of the results can be regarded as consequences of the Ramification Principle,…
We study weak approximation on rationally connected varieties under an assumption of strong approximation for a "simple" variety or under Schinzel's hypothesis. We also get some unconditional results.
This note is a survey of the enumerative geometry of rational curves on Calabi-Yau threefolds, based on a talk given by the author at the May 1991 Workshop on Mirror Symmetry at MSRI. An earlier version appeared in "Essays on Mirror…
We present a complex analytic proof of the Pila-Wilkie theorem for subanalytic sets. In particular, we replace the use of $C^r$-smooth parametrizations by a variant of Weierstrass division.
Various methods have been used to construct rational points and rational curves on rationally connected algebraic varieties. We survey recent advances in two of them, the descent and the fibration method, in a number-theoretical context…
A selection of basic results on Borel reducibility of ideals and equivalence relations, especially those with comparably short proofs. This is an unfinished text as yet. Some proofs have missing parts and loose ends. [email protected] and…
Notes from a talk at the April 2011 ICMS (Edinburgh) conference on the recent solution of the Kervaire invariant problem. This is an entirely expository account, emphasizing connections with the theory of topological automorphic forms.
These are the notes of some lectures given by the author for a workshop held at TIFR, Mumbai in December, 2011, giving an exposition of the Deligne-Lusztig theory.
We extend to the case of semi-abelian varieties the statements of various variants of the conjecture alla Bogomolov about the non-density of small points of small height in abelian varieties. Inspired by recent work of Ullmo, Zhang and…
Y. Palu has generalized the cluster multiplication formulas to 2-Calabi-Yau categories with cluster tilting objects (\cite{Palu2}). The aim of this note is to construct a variant of Y. Palu's formula and deduce a new version of the cluster…
We prove several new Bertini theorems over arbitrary fields and discrete valuation rings.
We reinterpret a conjecture of Breuil on the locally analytic $\mathrm{Ext}^1$ in a functorial way using $(\varphi,\Gamma)$-modules (possibly with $t$-torsion) over the Robba ring, making it more accurate. Then we prove several special or…
Using algebraic transformations and equivalent reformulations we derive a number of new results from some earlier ones (by the author) in more accepted terms closely related to well-known conjectures of Bondy and Jung including a number of…
We develop a sequential-topological study of rational points of schemes of finite type over local rings typical in higher dimensional number theory and algebraic geometry. These rings are certain types of multidimensional complete fields…
We generalize a result by Vasil'ev on the algebraic independence of periods of abelian varieties to the case when some of these periods are replaced by their exponentials. We eventually derive some applications to values of the beta…
