We prove the thin set version of Manin's conjecture for the chordal (or: determinantal) cubic fourfold, which is the secant variety of the Veronese surface. We reduce this counting problem to a result of Schmidt for quadratic points in the…

We give a relatively short and elementary proof of Manin's conjecture for split smooth quintic del Pezzo surfaces over the rational numbers.

We give yet another proof of the Riemann hypothesis for smooth projective varieties over a finite field (Deligne's theorem), by reducing to the hypersurface case. The latter was established by N. Katz via an elementary argument. A reduction…

We prove a version of Manin's conjecture (over $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ for $q$ large) and the Cohen--Jones--Segal conjecture (over $\mathbb{C}$) for maps from rational curves to split quartic del Pezzo surfaces. The proofs share a common method…

We show that Ribet sections are the only obstruction to the validity of the relative Manin-Mumford conjecture for one dimensional families of semi-abelian surfaces. Applications include special cases of the Zilber-Pink conjecture for curves…

We complete the study of points of bounded height on irreducible non-normal cubic surfaces by doing the point count on the cubic surface $W$ given by $t_0^2 t_2 = t_1^2 t_3$ over any number field. We show that the order of growth agrees…

Following an idea of Ishida, we develop polynomial equations for certain unramified double covers of surfaces with p_g=q=1 and K^2=2. Our first main result provides an explicit surface surface X with these invariants defined over Q that has…

We relate the notion of finite dimensionality of the Chow motive M(X) of a smooth projective variety X (as defined by S. Kimura) with the Conjectures of Beilinson, Bloch and Murre on the existence of a filtration on the Chow ring CH(X). We…

A viable and still unproved conjecture states that, if $X$ is a smooth algebraic surface and $C$ is a smooth algebraic curve in $X$, then $C$ realizes the smallest possible genus amongst all smoothly embedded $2$-manifolds in its homology…

We consider the Zariski-Lipman Conjecture on free module of derivations for algebraic surfaces. Using the theory of non-complete algebraic surfaces, and some basic results about ruled surfaces, we will prove the conjecture for several…

We prove finiteness results for sets of varieties over number fields with good reduction outside a given finite set of places using cyclic covers. We obtain a version of the Shafarevich conjecture for weighted projective surfaces, double…

After Chern's conjecture on the discreteness of the constant scalar curvatures of compact minimal submanifolds $M^n$ in unit spheres $\mathbb{S}^{n+q}$, Z. Q. Lu proposed a conjecture regarding the second gap, based on his ingenious…

We classify the minimal surfaces of general type with $K^2 \leq 4\chi-8$ whose canonical map is composed with a pencil, up to a finite number of families. More precisely we prove that there is exactly one irreducible family for each value…

We investigate a strong version of the integral Tate conjecture for 1-cycles on the product of a curve and a surface over a finite field, under the assumption that the surface is geometrically $CH_0$-trivial. By this we mean that over any…

We prove the statement in the title, solving in this way a conjecture stated by Ginot for manifolds with corners. Along the way, we establish a derived Swiss-cheese additivity theorem and an alternative proof for the hyperdescent of…

We prove sharp $L^2$ Fourier restriction inequalities for compact, smooth surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ equipped with the affine surface measure or a power thereof. The results are valid for all smooth surfaces and the bounds are uniform for…

We conjecture that the exceptional set in Manin's Conjecture has an explicit geometric description. Our proposal includes the rational point contributions from any generically finite map with larger geometric invariants. We prove that this…

We prove the Demailly--Peternell--Schneider conjecture in positive characteristic: if $X$ is a smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$ with $-K_X$ is nef, then the Albanese morphism $a: X \to A$…

We show that the generic fiber of a family of smooth $\mathbb{A}^{1}$-ruled affine surfaces always carries an $\mathbb{A}^{1}$-fibration, possibly after a finite extension of the base. In the particular case where the general fibers of the…

We introduce a dynamical Mordell-Lang-type conjecture for coherent sheaves. When the sheaves are structure sheaves of closed subschemes, our conjecture becomes a statement about unlikely intersections. We prove an analogue of this…
