We study properties of rational curves on complete intersections in positive characteristic. It has long been known that in characteristic 0, smooth Calabi-Yau and general type varieties are not uniruled. In positive characteristic,…

Let K be a number field, and let E be an elliptic curve over K. A famous result by Faltings of 1983 can be reformulated for elliptic curves as follows: if S is a set of primes of good reduction for E having density one, then the K-isogeny…

The aim of this work is to study sets of values of fractional ideals of rings of algebroid curves and explore more deeply the symmetry that exists among sets of values of dual pairs of ideals when the ring is Gorenstein. We also express the…

We describe algebraic curves $ X : F(x, y) = 0 $ defined over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$ that satisfy the following property: there exist a number field $k$ and an infinite set $S \subset k$ such that, for every $y \in S$, the roots of the…

We study the basic properties of a prime sum graph, which is a simple graph defined on $\mathbb N$ where two vertices are adjacent if and only if their sum is a prime number. Further, we investigate some specific structures that appear…

Among reduced Noetherian prime characteristic commutative rings, we prove that a regular ring is precisely one where finite intersection of ideals commutes with taking bracket powers. However, reducedness is essential for this equivalence.…

We consider the Fano scheme $F_k(X)$ of $k$--dimensional linear subspaces contained in a complete intersection $X \subset \mathbb{P}^n$ of multi--degree $\underline{d} = (d_1, \ldots, d_s)$. Our main result is an extension of a result of…

For finite-dimensional bifurcation problems, it is well-known that it is possible to compute normal forms which possess nice symmetry properties. Oftentimes, these symmetries may allow for a partial decoupling of the normal form into a…

We consider the intersections of fractal k-cubes of order n and intersections of their respective opposite l-faces. The main result of the paper is the theorem on representation of such intersection as the attractor of a graph-directed…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote the finite field with $q$ elements. In this work, we use characters to give the number of rational points on suitable curves of low degree over $\mathbb{F}_q$ in terms of the number of rational points on elliptic…

We produce a sequence of finite dimensional representations of the fundamental group $\pi_1(S)$ of a closed surface where all simple closed curves act with finite order, but where each non--simple closed curve eventually acts with infinite…

In this paper, we study the Hankel edge ideals of graphs. We determine the minimal prime ideals of the Hankel edge ideal of labeled Hamiltonian and semi-Hamiltonian graphs, and we investigate radicality, being a complete intersection,…

We characterize monomial ideals which are intersections of monomial prime ideals and study classes of ideals with this property, among them polymatroidal ideals.

Let $\mathbb F_{q^2}$ be the finite field with $q^2$ elements. We provide a simple and effective method, using reciprocal polynomials, for the construction of algebraic curves over $\mathbb F_{q^2}$ with many rational points. The curves…

A smooth Hermitian surface $X$ is a projective surface isomorphic to the Fermat surface of degree $q+1$ in positive characteristic. We study incidence relations of the rational curves of degree $q+1$ contained in $X$, and show that such…

Let $F$ be a field, and let Zar$(F)$ be the space of valuation rings of $F$ with respect to the Zariski topology. We prove that if $X$ is a quasicompact set of rank one valuation rings in Zar$(F)$ whose maximal ideals do not intersect to…

A field $k$ is called large if every irreducible $k$-curve with a $k$-rational smooth point has infinitely many $k$-points. Let $k$ be a perfect large field and let $f \in k[x]$. Consider the evaluation map $f_k: k \to k$. Assume that $f_k$…

We combine the newly discovered technique, which computes explicit formulas for the image of an algebraic curve under rational transformation, with techniques that enable to compute braid monodromies of such curves. We use this combination…
