We establish an analytic Hasse principle for linear spaces of affine dimension m on a complete intersection over an algebraic field extension K of Q. The number of variables required to do this is no larger than what is known for the…

Counting integer points on the Markoff cubic is closely related to questions in hyperbolic geometry. In a previous work with Igor Rivin we investigated the regularity of the geodesic length function for a punctured torus. Here we extend…

Following [GS22], [LM20] and [CWX20], we study the Brauer-Manin obstruction for integral points on similar Markoff-type cubic surfaces. In particular, we construct a family of counterexamples to strong approximation which can be explained…

For any nonzero $h\in\mathbb{Z}$, we prove that a positive proportion of integral binary cubic forms $F$ do locally everywhere represent $h$ but do not globally represent $h$; that is, a positive proportion of cubic Thue equations…

Let k be a global field of characteristic not 2. The classical Hasse-Minkowski theorem states that if two quadratic forms become isomorphic over all the completions of k, then they are isomorphic over k as well. It is natural to ask whether…

We show that for an irreducible cubic $f\in\mathbb Z[x]$ and a full norm form $\mathbf N(x_1,\ldots,x_k)$ for a number field $K/\mathbb Q$ satisfying certain hypotheses the variety $f(t)=\mathbf N(x_1,\ldots,x_k)\ne 0$ satisfies the Hasse…

Using valuative techniques, we show that a smooth affine surface with a non-elementary automorphism group and completable by a cycle of rational curves is either the algebraic torus or a smooth cubic affine surface of Markov type.…

We show that the commutator equation over $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$ satisfies a profinite local to global principle, while it can fail with infinitely many exceptions for $ \mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z}[\frac{1}{p}])$. The source of the…

For every number field $k$, we construct an affine algebraic surface $X$ over $k$ with a Zariski dense set of $k$-rational points, and a regular function $f$ on $X$ inducing an injective map $X(k)\to k$ on $k$-rational points. In fact,…

In this article we will show that there are infinitely many symmetric, integral 3 x 3 matrices, with zeros on the diagonal, whose eigenvalues are all integral. We will do this by proving that the rational points on a certain non-Kummer,…

Let $D$ be a non-empty effective divisor on $\mathbb{P}^1$. We show that when ordered by height, any set of $(D,S)$-integral points on $\mathbb{P}^1$ of bounded degree has relative density zero. We then apply this to arithmetic dynamics:…

We study the orchard problem on cubic surfaces. We classify possibly reducible cubic surfaces $X\subseteq \mathbb{P}^3(\C)$ with smooth components on which there exist families of finite sets (of unbounded size) with quadratically many…

Let $F_1,\dotsc,F_R$ be quadratic forms with integer coefficients in $n$ variables. When $n\geq 9R$ and the variety $V(F_1,\dotsc,F_R)$ is a smooth complete intersection, we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of integer points in an…

We extend some parts of the representation theory for integral quadratic forms over the ring of integers of a number field to the case over the coordinate ring $k[C]$ of an affine curve $C$ over a general base field $k$. By using the genus…

We prove new cases of the Hasse principle for Kummer surfaces constructed from 2-coverings of Jacobians of genus 2 curves, assuming finiteness of relevant Tate--Shafarevich groups. Under the same assumption, we deduce the Hasse principle…

We show that if over some number field there exists a certain diagonal plane cubic curve that is locally solvable everywhere, but that does not have points over any cubic galois extension of the number field, then the algebraic part of the…

An integral quadratic lattice is called indefinite $k$-universal if it represents all integral quadratic lattices of rank $k$ for a given positive integer $k$. For $k\geq 3$, we prove that the indefinite $k$-universal property satisfies the…

Let $V$ be a cubic surface defined by the equation $T_0^3+T_1^3+T_2^3+\theta T_3^3=0$ over a quadratic extension of 3-adic numbers $k=\mathbb{Q}_3(\theta)$, where $\theta^3=1$. We show that a relation on a set of geometric k-points on $V$…

We give a geometric proof that Hasse principle holds for the following varieties defined over global function fields: smooth quadric hypersurfaces in odd characteristic, smooth cubic hypersurfaces of dimension at least $4$ in characteristic…

Let ${\mathcal O}$ be the ring of $S$-integers in a number field $K$. For $A\in\rm{SL}_{2}(\mathcal{O})$ and $k\geq 1$, we define matrix-factorization varieties $V_k(A)$ over ${\mathcal O}$ which parametrize factoring $A$ into a product of…
