We define the zeta function of a noncommutative K3 surface over a finite field, an invariant under Fourier-Mukai equivalence that can be used to define point counts in this noncommutative setting. These point counts can be negative, and can…

We compute some numerical invariants of the lines on hyperplane sections of a smooth cubic threefold over complex numbers. We also prove that for any smooth hypersurface $X\subset \mathbb P^{n+1}$ of degree $d$ over an algebraically closed…

We present here simple trace formulas for Hecke operators $T_k(p)$ for all $p>3$ on $S_k(\Gamma_0(3))$ and $S_k(\Gamma_0(9))$, the spaces of cusp forms of weight $k$ and levels 3 and 9. These formulas can be expressed in terms of special…

For primes p congruent to 1 mod 12, we present an explicit relation between the traces of Frobenius on a family of elliptic curves with j-invariant 1728/t and values of a particular 2F1-hypergeometric function over F_p. Additionally, we…

We use bounds of mixed character sums modulo a prime $p$ to estimate the density of integer points on the hypersurface $$ f_1(x_1) + \ldots + f_n(x_n) =a x_1^{k_1} \ldots x_n^{k_n} $$ for some polynomials $f_i \in {\mathbb Z}[X]$, nonzero…

Let $p$ be an odd prime and $\mathbb{F}_p$ be the finite field with $p$ elements. McCarthy \cite{mccarthy-pacific} initiated a study of hypergeometric functions in the $p$-adic setting. This function can be understood as $p$-adic analogue…

A method to calculate exact Green's functions on lattices in various dimensions is presented. Expressions in terms of generalized hypergeometric functions in one or more variables are obtained for various examples by relating the resolvent…

Using the cohomology theory of Dwork, as developed by Adolphson and Sperber, we exhibit a deterministic algorithm to compute the zeta function of a nondegenerate hypersurface defined over a finite field. This algorithm is particularly…

We present here explicit relations between the traces of Frobenius endomorphisms of certain families of elliptic curves and special values of ${_{2}}F_1$-hypergeometric functions over $\mathbb{F}_q$ for $q \equiv 1 (\text{mod} 6)$ and $q…

This paper shows that certain $\,_{3}F_{4}$ hypergeometric functions may be expanded in sums of pair products of $\,_{2}F_{3}$ functions. This expands the class of hypergeometric functions having summation theorems beyond those expressible…

We study the geometry of the smooth projective surfaces that are defined by Frobenius forms, a class of homogenous polynomials in prime characteristic recently shown to have minimal possible F-pure threshold among forms of the same degree.…

We construct a collection of higher Chow cycles on certain surfaces which degenerate to an arrangement of planes in general position. When its degree is 4, this construction gives a new explicit proof of the Hodge-D-Conjecture for a certain…

We prove finite field analogues of integral representations of Appell- Lauricella hypergeometric functions in many variables. We consider certain hypersurfaces having a group action and compute the numbers of rational points associated with…

We define finite field $A$-hypergeometric functions and show that they are Fourier expansions of families of exponential sums on the torus. For an appropriate choice of $A$, our finite field $A$-hypergeometric function can be specialized to…

The number of points on a certain one parameter family of algebraic surface over a finite field $\F_p$ can be expressed as $p^2+A_p(\lambda),$ where $A_p(\lambda)$ is a character sum and $\lambda$ is an element of the finite field $\F_p.$…

Arithmetic of K3 surfaces defined over finite fields is investigated. In particular, we show that any K3 surface of finite height over a finite field k of characteristic p > 3 has a quasi-canonical lifting to characteristic 0, and that for…

This paper shows that certain $\,_{3}F_{4}$ hypergeometric functions can be expanded in sums of pair products of $\,_{1}F_{2}$ functions. In special cases, the $\,_{3}F_{4}$ hypergeometric functions reduce to $\,_{2}F_{3}$ functions.…

We examine hypergeometric functions in the finite field, p-adic and classical settings. In each setting, we prove a formula which splits the hypergeometric function into a sum of lower order functions whose arguments differ by roots of…

Gross, Kohnen and Zagier proved an averaged version of the algebraicity conjecture for special values of higher Green's functions on modular curves. In this work, we study an analogous problem for special values of Green's functions on…

Inspired by a result of Manin, we study the relationship between certain period integrals and the trace of Frobenius of genus 3 generalized Legendre curves. We show that both of these properties can be computed in terms of "matching"…
