It was conjectured by Flynn that there exists a constant $\kappa$ such that, for any integer $g \ge 2$, any $m \le \kappa g$, there exists a hyperelliptic curve of genus $g$ over $\mathbb Q$ with a rational $m$-torsion point on its…

Let $C\subset{\mathbb P}_K^2$ be an algebraic curve over a number field $K$, and denote by $d_K$ the degree of $K$ over ${\mathbb Q}$. We prove that the number of $K$-rational points of height at most $H$ in $C$ is bounded by $c…

We study the asymptotics of the set $S(d)$ of possible prime orders of $K$-rational points on elliptic curves over number fields $K$ of degree $d$ as $d$ tends to infinity. Assuming some conjectures on the sparsity of newforms of weight $2$…

We consider the problem of efficient computation in the Jacobian of a hyperelliptic curve of genus 3 defined over a field whose characteristic is not 2. For curves with a rational Weierstrass point, fast explicit formulas are well known and…

Let $X\subseteq \mathbb{P}^3$ be a smooth projective surface of degree $d\ge 4$ defined over a number field $K$, and let $N_{X^{\prime}}(B)$ be the number of rational points of $X$ of height at most $B$ that do not lie on lines contained in…

I provide methods of constructing elliptic and hyperelliptic curves over global fields with interesting rational points over the given fields or over large field extensions. I also provide a elliptic curves defined over any given number…

We give a method for the computation of integral points on a hyperelliptic curve of odd degree over the rationals whose genus equals the Mordell-Weil rank of its Jacobian. Our approach consists of a combination of the $p$-adic approximation…

We compute the rational points on certain members of the following family of hyperelliptic curves \[C_a \colon y^2 = x^8 + (4-4a^4) x^6 + (8a^4 + 6)x^4 + (4-4a^4)x^2 + 1\] via the method first developed by Dem'yanenko \cite{dem1966rational}…

We study the universal family of odd hyperelliptic curves of genus $g \geq 1$ over $\mathbb{Q}$. We relate the heights of $\mathbb{Q}$-points of Jacobians of curves in this family to the reduction theory of the representation of…

Let $C$ be an irreducible projective plane curve in the complex projective space ${\mathbb{P}}^2$. The classification of such curves, up to the action of the automorphism group $PGL(3,{\mathbb{C}})$ on ${\mathbb{P}}^2$, is a very difficult…

Conditionally on the Tate--Shafarevich and Bloch--Kato Conjectures, we give an explicit upper bound on the size of the $p$-adic Chabauty--Kim locus, and hence on the number of rational points, of a smooth projective curve $X/\mathbb{Q}$ of…

In this article we use techniques from coding theory to derive upper bounds for the number of rational places of the function field of an algebraic curve defined over a finite field. The used techniques yield upper bounds if the…

Consider a component of the Hilbert scheme whose general point corresponds to a degree d genus g smooth irreducible and nondegenerate curve in a projective variety X. We give lower bounds for the dimension of such a component when X is P^3,…

We determine the set $S(d)$ of possible prime orders of $K$-rational points on elliptic curves over number fields $K$ of degree $d$, for $d = 4$, $5$, $6$, and $7$.

Fix a hyperelliptic curve $C/\mathbb{Q}$ of genus $g$, and consider the number fields $K/\mathbb{Q}$ generated by the algebraic points of $C$. In this paper, we study the number of such extensions with fixed degree $n$ and discriminant…

We prove upper bounds for the number of rational points on non-singular cubic curves defined over the rationals. The bounds are uniform in the curve and involve the rank of the corresponding Jacobian. The method used in the proof is a…

We compute the rational Chow class of the locus of genus 2 curves admitting a d-to-1 map to a genus 1 curve, recovering a result of Faber-Pagani when d=2. The answer exhibits quasi-modularity properties similar to those in the Gromov-Witten…

We address the problem of the maximal finite number of real points of a real algebraic curve (of a given degree and, sometimes, genus) in the projective plane. We improve the known upper and lower bounds and construct close to optimal…

We study the interaction between the group law on an elliptic curve and the additive structure of $x$-coordinates of rational points on an elliptic curve. Let $E/\mathbb{Q}$ be an elliptic curve of Mordell-Weil rank $r \geq 1$, $d \geq 1$…

In this article we study rational curves with a unique unibranch genus-$g$ singularity, which is of {\it $\ka$-hyperelliptic} type in the sense of \cite{To}; we focus on the cases $\ka=0$ and $\ka=1$, in which the semigroup associated to…
