The solvability of monomial groups is a well-known result in character theory. Certain properties of Artin L-series suggest a generalization of these groups, namely to such groups where every irreducible character has some multiple which is…

Pour tout $t\in\mN$ nous d\'efinissons un certain entier positif $\N_t$ et nous conjecturons: si $H$ est un fibr\'e de Gauss-Manin d'une fibration semi-stable alors la $t$-\`eme classe de Chern de $H$ est annul\'ee par $\N_t$. Nous…

The local invariants of a meromorphic Abelian differential on a Riemann surface of genus $g$ are the orders of zeros and poles, and the residues at the poles. The main result of this paper is that with few exceptions, every pattern of…

Artin's conjecture is established for all forms that can be realised as a diagonal form on an hyperplane.

We show that if a rational map is constant on each isomorphism class of unpolarized abelian varieties of a given dimension, then it is a constant map. Our results are motivated by and shed light on a proposed construction of a cryptographic…

We use Bieri-Strebel invariants to determine when a normal fibre product in the product of two finitely presented groups is finitely presented. We give conditions that imply and in some cases characterize the existence of such finitely…

Given a family of varieties $X\to \mathbb{P}^n$ over a number field $k$, we determine conditions under which there is a Brauer-Manin obstruction to weak approximation for $100\%$ of the fibres which are everywhere locally soluble.

We exhibit families of smooth projective threefolds with both stably rational and non stably rational fibers.

We prove Manin's conjecture over imaginary quadratic number fields for a cubic surface with a singularity of type E_6.

For split smooth Del Pezzo surfaces, we analyse the structure of the effective cone and prove a recursive formula for the value of alpha, appearing in the leading constant as predicted by Peyre of Manin's conjecture on the number of…

Manin's conjecture is proved for a split del Pezzo surface of degree 5 with a singularity of type A_2.

We show that the Friedlander-Mazur conjecture holds for the product of an elliptic curve with some smooth projective variety of dimension 3. Moreover, we show that the Friedlander-Mazur conjecture is stable under a surjective map. As…

In this paper we investigate various properties of generalised pairs in families, especially boundedness of several kinds. We show that many statements for usual pairs do not hold for generalised pairs. In particular, we construct an…

The object of this paper is to generalize a theorem on the binomial coefficient [4] to the case in an arithmetic progression. We will also give a slightly stronger result than Langevin's [2].

We establish Manin's conjecture for a cubic surface split over Q and whose singularity type is 2A_2+A_1. For this, we make use of a deep result about the equidistribution of the values of a certain restricted divisor function in three…

We explore log Manin's conjecture for integral points and its connections to $\mathbb A^1$-connectedness. We prove log Manin's conjecture for Campana rational curves and for $\mathbb A^1$-curves on split toric varieties. Our arguments…

Let $M$ be a compact complex manifold of dimension at least three and $\Pi : M\rightarrow X$ a positive principal elliptic fibration, where $X$ is a compact K\"ahler orbifold. Fix a preferred Hermitian metric on $M$. In \cite{V}, the third…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ be two algebras and let $n$ be a positive integer. A linear mapping $D:\mathcal{A} \rightarrow \mathcal{B}$ is called a \emph{strongly generalized derivation of order $n$} if there exist families of…

The semi-simplicity of the Hodge group is proved for a simple Abelian variety with a stable reduction of odd toric (reductive) rank. If, besides, the dimension of the Abelian variety is an odd integer, then the Hodge conjecture on algebraic…

In this article we study holomorphic deformations of the filtered Gauss-Manin systems associated to a vanishing period integral. For that purpose we introduce a new sub-class of the class of monogenic (a,b)-modules (Brieskorn modules) which…
