Fix an odd prime $p$. If $r$ is a positive integer and $f$ a polynomial with coefficients in $\mathbb{F}_{p^r}$, let $P_{p,r}(f)$ be the proportion of $\mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{F}_{p^r})$ that is periodic with respect to $f$. We show that as…
In this article we will discuss a new, mostly theoretical, method for solving (zero-dimensional) polynomial systems, which lies in between Gr\"obner basis computations and the heuristic first fall degree assumption and is not based on any…
In 1995, D. Jerison and C. Kenig in \cite{JK-1995} considered the the inhomogeneous Dirichlet problem $\Delta u= f$ on $\Omega$, $u=0$ on $\partial\Omega$ in Lipschitz domains. One of their main results shows that the $W^{1,p}$ estimate…
We provide an upper bound as a random variable for the functions of estimators in high dimensions. This upper bound may help establish the rate of convergence of functions in high dimensions. The upper bound random variable may converge…
We use height arguments to prove two results about the dynamical Mordell-Lang problem. (i) For an endomorphism of a projective variety, the return set of a dense orbit into a curve is finite if any cohomological Lyapunov multiplier of any…
For planar self-affine sets satisfying the strong separation condition, recent work of B\'ar\'any, Hochman, and Rapaport gives mild assumptions under which the Hausdorff dimension equals the affinity dimension. In this paper, we study…
Let $X$ be a smooth proper curve defined over a field $k$. The representability of the relative Picard functor is obstructed by a class $\alpha\in\mathrm{Br}(\mathrm{Pic}_{X/k})$. We show the associated division algebra on…
We show that as the ratio between the first Dirichlet eigenvalues of a convex domain and of the ball with the same volume becomes large, the same must happen to the corresponding ratio of isoperimetric constants. The proof is based on the…
Let $X$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold of dimension $k\leq 4$ and $f:X\rightarrow X$ a pseudo-automorphism. If the first dynamical degree $\lambda_1(f)$ is a Salem number, we show that either $\lambda_1(f)=\lambda_{k-1}(f)$ or…
Given a polynomial system $\mathcal{F}$ over a finite field $k$ which is not necessarily of dimension zero, we consider the Weil descent $\mathcal{F}'$ of $\mathcal{F}$ over a subfield $k'$. We prove a theorem which relates the last fall…
We consider normal projective n-dimensional varieties X whose anticanonical divisor class -K is ample and where every Weil divisor is a rational multiple of K. The index i is the largest integer such that K/i exists as a Weil divisor. We…
In this paper we give an upper bound on the number of rational points on an irreducible curve $C$ of degree $\delta$ defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ lying on a Frobenius classical surface $S$ embedded in $\mathbb{P}^3$. This…
Let K be a number field, X/K a curve, and f/X a family of endomorphisms of projective N-space. It follows from a result of Call and Silverman that the canonical height associated to the family f, evaluated along a section, differs from a…
We establish a couple of dynamical properties of surjective rational maps $f: X \dashrightarrow X$ for smooth projective surfaces $X$. We also give a numerical characterization of regular $f$ in the case when $X$ is a del Pezzo surface.…
Weil's theorem gives the most standard bound on the number of points of a curve over a finite field. This bound was improved by Ihara and Oesterl\'e for larger genus. Recently, Hallouin and Perret gave a new point of view on these bounds,…
We provide an upper bound for the number of limit cycles that planar polynomial differential systems of a given degree may have. The bound turns out to be a polynomial of degree four in the degree of the system. The strategy brings together…
Given a curve X of the form y^p = h(x) over a number field, one can use descents to obtain explicit bounds on the Mordell-Weil rank of the Jacobian or to prove that the curve has no rational points. We show how, having performed such a…
We produce explicit elliptic curves over \Bbb F_p(t) whose Mordell-Weil groups have arbitrarily large rank. Our method is to prove the conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer for these curves (or rather the Tate conjecture for related…
Let ${\mathcal L}/{\mathcal K}$ be a finite Galois extension and let $X$ be an affine algebraic variety defined over ${\mathcal L}$. Weil's Galois descent theorem provides necessary and sufficient conditions for $X$ to be definable over…
Let $\mathcal{A}(p)$ be the class consisting of functions $f$ that are holomorphic in $\ID\setminus \{p\}$, $p\in (0,1)$ possessing a simple pole at the point $z=p$ with nonzero residue and normalized by the condition $f(0)=0=f'(0)-1$. In…
