We prove versions of Khintchine's Theorem (1924) for approximations by rational numbers whose numerators lie in randomly chosen sets of integers, and we explore the extent to which the monotonicity assumption can be removed. Roughly…

In this paper we establish an asymptotic formula for the number of rational points of bounded anticanonical height which lie on a certain Zariski dense subset of the biprojective hypersurface \begin{align*} x_1y_1^2+...+x_sy_s^2 = 0…

Let F be a field of characteristic 2. In this paper we determine the Kato-Milne cohomology of the rational function field F(x) in one variable x. This will be done by proving an analogue of the Milnor exact sequence [4] in the setting of…

We introduce a certain birational invariant of a polarized algebraic variety and use that to obtain upper bounds for the counting functions of rational points on algebraic varieties. Using our theorem, we obtain new upper bounds of Manin…

We estimate the proportion of function fields satisfying certain conditions which imply a function-field analogue of the Fontaine-Mazur conjecture. As a byproduct, we compute the fraction of abelian varieties (or even Jacobians) over a…

A relativistic quantum field theory is presented for finite density problems based on the principle of locality. It is found that, in addition to the conventional ones, a local approach to the relativistic quantum field theories at both…

We give a counterexample to the Arithmetic Puncturing Conjecture and Geometric Puncturing Conjecture of Hassett-Tschinkel using symmetric powers of uniruled surfaces, and propose a corrected conjecture inspired by Campana's conjectures on…

We give defining equations for function fields over finite fields with many rational places. They are obtained from composita of quadratic extensions of the rational function field.

We construct families of curves which provide counterexamples for a uniform boundedness question. These families generalize those studied previously by several authors. We show, in detail, what fails in the argument of Caporaso, Harris,…

A major difficult problem in Galois theory is the characterization of profinite groups which are realizable as absolute Galois groups of fields. Recently the Kernel $n$-Unipotent Conjecture and the Vanishing $n$-Massey Conjecture for $n\geq…

We prove two related concentration inequalities concerning the number of rational points of hyperelliptic curves over subsets of a finite field. In particular, we investigate the probability of a large discrepancy between the numbers of…

We report on progress in the qualitative study of rational points on rationally connected varieties over number fields, also examining integral points, zero-cycles, and non-rationally connected varieties. One of the main objectives is to…

Effective field theory is applied to finite-density systems with an unnaturally large scattering length, such as neutron matter. A new organizational scheme is identified and connected with an expansion in inverse powers of the number of…

We compute the number of points over finite fields of some algebraic varieties related to cluster algebras of finite type. More precisely, these varieties are the fibers of the projection map from the cluster variety to the affine space of…

Given a dominant rational self-map on a projective variety over a number field, we can define the arithmetic degree at a rational point. It is known that the arithmetic degree at any point is less than or equal to the first dynamical…

We give a reformulation of the Lehmer conjecture about algebraic integers in terms of a simple counting problem modulo p.

We prove the Batyrev-Manin conjecture for smooth equivariant compactifications of forms of $\mathbb{G}_a^n$ over a global function field $F$, assuming some conditions on the boundary divisor. To verify that the leading constant agrees with…

We study a relation between roots of characteristic polynomials and intersection points of line arrangements. Using these results, we obtain a lot of applications for line arrangements. Namely, we give (i) a generalized addition theorem for…

We prove that any smooth cubic surface defined over any number field satisfies the lower bound predicted by Manin's conjecture possibly after an extension of small degree.

We prove a general inequality for estimating the number of points of arbitrary complete intersections over a finite field. This extends a result of Deligne for nonsingular complete intersections. For normal complete intersections, this…
