We formulate and prove a new variant of the Segal Conjecture describing the group of homotopy classes of stable maps from the p-completed classifying space of a finite group G to the classifying space of a compact Lie group K as the p-adic…

Consider an elliptic curve, defined over the rational numbers, and embedded in projective space. The rational points on the curve are viewed as integer vectors with coprime coordinates. What can be said about a rational point if a bound is…

We present an essentially complete solution to the Minimal Resolution Conjecture for general curves, determining the shape of the minimal resolution of general sets of points on a general curve C of degree d>2r-1 in P^r. Our methods also…

We describe a systematic way of constructing effective divisors on the moduli space of stable curves of genus g having exceptionally small slope. We prove that any divisor on \bar{M}_g consisting of curves failing a certain Green-Lazarsfeld…

In projective space over fields of characteristic different from 2, the normal bundle of a general nondegenerate rational curve is balanced. The corresponding statement for rational curves in other Grassmannians can fail. Nevertheless, we…

In projective algebraic geometry, there are classical and fundamental results that describe the structure of geometry and syzygies, and many of them characterize varieties of minimal degree and del Pezzo varieties. In this paper, we…

Studying two point branched Galois covers of the projective line we prove the Inertia Conjecture for the Alternating groups $A_{p+1}$, $A_{p+3}$, $A_{p+4}$ for any odd prime $p \equiv 2 \pmod{3}$ and for the group $A_{p+5}$ when…

One version of the classical Lefschetz hyperplane theorem states that for $U \subset \mathbb P^n$ a smooth quasi-projective variety of dimension at least $2$, and $H \cap U$ a general hyperplane section, the resulting map on \'etale…

It is known that in the case of hyperelliptic curves the Shafarevich conjecture can be made effective, i.e., for any number field k and any finite set of places S of k, one can effectively compute the set of isomorphism classes of…

Let P be a set of n points in the plane, not all on a line. We show that if n is large then there are at least n/2 ordinary lines, that is to say lines passing through exactly two points of P. This confirms, for large n, a conjecture of…

Let E be an elliptic curve defined over a number field K. Michael Larsen conjectured that for any finitely generated subgroup G of Gal(\bar K/K), the Mordell-Weil rank of E is unbounded in number fields fixed by G. We prove that the…

Cais, Ellenberg and Zureick-Brown recently observed that over finite fields of characteristic two, all sufficiently general smooth plane projective curves of a given odd degree admit a non-trivial rational 2-torsion point on their Jacobian.…

We present a construction explaining the existence of (unexpected) curves of degree $d+k$, passing through a set $Z$ of points on $\mathbb{P}^2$, and having a generic point $P$ of multiplicity $d$. The construction is based on the syzygies…

For $E_{b}: y^{2}=x^{3}+b$, we establish Lang's conjecture on a lower bound for the canonical height of non-torsion points along with upper and lower bounds for the difference between the canonical and logarithmic height. In many cases, our…

We generalize the celebrated Fr\"{o}berg's theorem to embedded joins of copies of a simplicial complex, namely higher secant complexes to the simplicial complex, in terms of property $N_{q+1,p}$ due to Green and Lazarsfeld. Furthermore, we…

We show that the Lang-Trotter conjecture for pairs of elliptic curves implies new cases of the Zilber-Pink conjecture for curves in $\mathcal{A}_3$. Unlike previous results for curves in $\mathcal{A}_g$, our result does not rely on any…

The purpose of this note is to wish a happy birthday to Professor Lucia Caporaso.* We prove that Conjecture H of Caporaso et. al. ([CHarM], sec. 6) together with Lang's conjecture implies the uniformity of rational points on varieties of…

For a line bundle L on a smooth surface S, it is now known that the degree of the Severi variety of cogenus-d curves is given by a universal polynomial in the Chern classes of L and S if L is d-very ample. For S rational, we relax the…

By using techniques of holomorphic jets and Jacobian fields, we devise a non-equidistribution theory of holomorphic curves into complex projective varieties intersecting normal crossing divisors. Based on this theory established, we prove…

P.Lecomte has proposed to take into account the covariant derivatives used to build ordering prescriptions for the naturality of transformation properties and has conjectured that there exists an natural ordering prescription for…
