For any closed symplectic manifold, we show that the number of 1-periodic orbits of a nondegenerate Hamiltonian thereon is bounded from below by a version of total Betti number over Z of the ambient space taking account of the total Betti…

Let X be a smooth quartic surface not containing lines, defined over a number field K. We prove that there are only finitely many bitangents to X which are defined over K. This result can be interpreted as saying that a certain surface,…

We prove a lower bound that agrees with Manin's prediction for the number of rational points of bounded height on the Fermat cubic surface. As an application we provide a simple counterexample to Manin's conjecture over the rationals.

Let $X$ be an algebraic variety, defined over the rationals. This paper gives upper bounds for the number of rational points on $X$, with height at most $B$, for the case in which $X$ is a curve or a surface. In the latter case one excludes…

Following recent works by E. Fuchs et al. and by the author, we study rational and integral points on Markoff-type K3 (MK3) surfaces, i.e., Wehler K3 surfaces of Markoff type. In particular, we construct a family of MK3 surfaces which have…

We prove that any open subset $U$ of a semi-simple simply connected quasi-split linear algebraic group $G$ with ${codim} (G\setminus U, G)\geq 2$ over a number field satisfies strong approximation by establishing a fibration of $G$ over a…

The classical Grunwald--Wang theorem asserts that, unless we are in the so-called special case, local cyclic Galois extensions at finitely many completions of a number field can be approximated by a global cyclic extension. In the special…

I provide a systematic construction of points, defined over finite radical extensions, on any Legendre curve over any field of characteristic not equal two. This includes as special case Douglas Ulmer's construction of rational points over…

In 2010, Poonen gave the first example of failure of the local-global principle that cannot be explained by Skorobogatov's \'etale Brauer-Manin obstruction. Motivated by this example, we show that the Brauer-Manin obstruction detects…

This paper presents a derivation of the possible residual symmetries of rational K-matrices which are invertible in the ''classical limit'' (the spectral parameter goes to infinity). This derivation uses only the boundary Yang-Baxter…

The Riemann hypothesis states that all nontrivial zeros of the zeta function lie on the critical line $\Re(s)=1/2$. Hilbert and P\'olya suggested a possible approach to prove it, based on spectral theory. Within this context, some authors…

Refining an argument of the second author, we improve the known bounds for the number of rational points near a submanifold of $\mathbb{R}^d$ of intermediate dimension under a natural curvature condition. Furthermore, in the codimension $2$…

This note gives an explicit example of transcendental Brauer-Manin obstruction to weak approximation. It has two features which the only previously known example of such obstruction did not have: the class in the Brauer group which is…

We generalize a recent result of Pavic--Schreieder regarding the surjectivity of the obstruction morphism defined in [PS23]. As a consequence of this result, we show that geometrically (retract) rational varieties over a Laurent field of…

We use the method of Bruinier--Raum to show that symmetric formal Fourier--Jacobi series, in the cases of norm-Euclidean imaginary quadratic fields, are Hermitian modular forms. Consequently, combining a theorem of Yifeng Liu, we deduce…

We determine the odd order torsion subgroup of the Brauer group of diagonal quartic surfaces over the field of rational numbers. We show that a non-constant Brauer element of odd order always obstructs weak approximation but never the Hasse…

Manin's conjecture predicts the asymptotic behavior of the number of rational points of bounded height on algebraic varieties. For toric varieties, it was proved by Batyrev and Tschinkel via height zeta functions and an application of the…

In this paper, we present an alternative proof of a finiteness theorem due to Bombieri, Masser and Zannier concerning intersections of a curve in the multiplicative group of dimension n with algebraic subgroups of dimension n-2. The proof…

Let $K$ be a number field, $\overline{\mathbb Q}$, or the field of rational functions on a smooth projective curve over a perfect field, and let $V$ be a subspace of $K^N$, $N \geq 2$. Let $Z_K$ be a union of varieties defined over $K$ such…

We study the copolynomials of $n$ variables, i.e. $K$-linear mappings from the ring of polynomials $K[x_1,...,x_n]$ into the commutative ring $K$. We prove an existence and uniqueness theorem for a linear differential equation of infinite…
