Let $A$ be a semistable principally polarized abelian variety of dimension $d$ defined over the rationals. Let $\ell$ be a prime and let $\bar{\rho}_{A,\ell} : G_{\mathbb{Q}} \rightarrow \mathrm{GSp}_{2d}(\mathbb{F}_\ell)$ be the…

An $(r, s)$-${\textit set}$ in ${\rm PG}(n, q)$ is a set of points, say $\mathcal X$, such that each $s$-dimensional projective subspace contains at most $r$ points of $\mathcal X$. We investigate $(n, n-2)$-sets and $(n-2, n-3)$-sets in…

We investigate fibrations by non-hyperelliptic curves of arithmetic genus three and geometric genus one in characteristic two. Assuming that there is only one moving singularity and that its image in the Frobenius pullback of the fibration…

Let $V$ be a finite dimensional vector space over a field $F$ of characteristic different from 2, and let $Q$ be a nondegenerate, symmetric, bilinear form on $V$. Let $C\ell(V,Q)$ be the Clifford algebra determined by $V$ and $Q$. The…

We consider a non-degenerate conic in $\PG(2,q^2)$, $q$ odd, that is tangent to $\ell_\infty$ and look at its structure in the Bruck-Bose representation in $\PG(4,q)$. We determine which combinatorial properties of this set of points in…

We study variants of the Erd\H os distance problem and dot products problem in the setting of the integers modulo $q$, where $q = p^{\ell}$ is a power of an odd prime.

In $\mathrm{PG}(3, q)$, $q = 2^n$, $n \ge 3$, let ${\cal A} = \{(1,t,t^{2^h},t^{2^h+1}) \mid t \in \mathbb{F}_q\} \cup \{(0,0,0,1)\}$, with $\mathrm{gcd}(n,h) = 1$, be a $(q+1)$-arc and let $G_h \simeq \mathrm{PGL}(2, q)$ be the stabilizer…

We obtain, by a direct computation, explicit descriptions of all principally polarized semi-abelic varieties of torus rank up to 3. We describe the geometry of their symmetric theta divisors and obtain explicit formulas for the involution…

In $PG(3,q^2)$, with $q$ odd, we determine the possible intersection sizes of a Hermitian surface $\mathcal{H}$ and an irreducible quadric $\mathcal{Q}$ having the same tangent plane $\pi$ at a common point $P\in{\mathcal Q}\cap{\mathcal…

For each $m\ge 1$ and $p>2$ we characterize bounded simply connected Sobolev $L^m_p$-extension domains $\Omega\subset R^2$. Our criterion is expressed in terms of certain intrinsic subhyperbolic metrics in $\Omega$. Its proof is based on a…

We show that any Fermat hypercubic is apolar to a trigonal curve, and vice versa. We show also that the Waring number of the polar hypercubic associated to a tetragonal curve of genus $g$ is at most $\lceil 3/2g - 7/2\rceil$, and for a…

In this article, a combinatorial characterization of the family of parabolic hyperplanes of a hyperbolic (respectively, elliptic) quadric of PG(2n + 1, q), using their intersection properties with the points and subspaces of codimension 2,…

The base surface $B$ of a Lagrangian fibration $X\twoheadrightarrow B$ of a projective, irreducible symplectic fourfold $X$ is shown to be isomorphic to ${\mathbb P}^2$.

The family of Euclidean triangles having some fixed perimeter and area can be identified with a subset of points on a nonsingular cubic plane curve, i.e., an elliptic curve; furthermore, if the perimeter and the square of the area are…

For a Calabi-Yau threefold admitting both a $K3$ fibration and an elliptic fibration (with some extra conditions) we discuss candidate asymptotic expressions of the genus 0 and 1 Gromov-Witten potentials in the limit (possibly corresponding…

We consider a smooth boundary b\Omega which is q-convex in the sense that its Levi-form has positive trace on every complex q-plane. We prove that b\Omega is tangent of infinite order to the complexification of each of its submanifolds…

We give an algorithm to compute $(\ell,\ell,\ell)$-isogenies from the Jacobians of genus three hyperelliptic curves to the Jacobians of non-hyperelliptic curves. An important application is to reduce the discrete logarithm problem in the…

Given $k \geq 2$, we show that there are at most finitely many rational numbers $x$ and $y \neq 0$ and integers $\ell \geq 2$ (with $(k,\ell) \neq (2,2)$) for which $$ x (x+1) \cdots (x+k-1) = y^\ell. $$ In particular, if we assume that…

We present new criteria that obstruct an isogeny class of abelian varieties over a finite field with a given Weil polynomial from containing a Jacobian of a genus-3 hyperelliptic curve. Based on our analysis of the Weil polynomials of…

For $q = p^n$ with $p$ an odd prime, the projective linear group $PGL(2,q)$ can be seen as the stabilizer of a conic $O$ in a projective plane $\pi = PG(2,q)$. In that setting, involutions of $PGL(2,q)$ correspond bijectively to points of…
