The Riemann Hypothesis is a conjecture that all non-trivial zeros of Riemann Zeta function are located on the critical line in the complex plane. Hundreds of propositions in function theory and analytic number theory rely on this…

Let F be a global field. In this work, we show that the Brauer-Manin condition on adelic points for subvarieties of a torus T over F cuts out exactly the rational points, if either F is a function field or, if F is the field of rational…

For a quasi-projective smooth geometrically integral variety over a number field $k$, we prove that the iterated descent obstruction is equivalent to the descent obstruction. This generalizes a result of Skorobogatov, and this answers an…

We prove that there exist rational but not uniformly rational smooth algebraic varieties. The proof is based on computing a certain numerical obstruction developed in the case of compactifications of affine spaces. We show that for some…

In this project, we will study the Brauer group that was first defined by R. Brauer. The elements of the Brauer group are the equivalence classes of finite dimensional central simple algebra. Therefore understanding the structure of the…

For algebraic stacks over number fields, we define their Brauer-Manin sets, Brauer-Manin pairings, and extend the descent theory of Colliot-Th\'el\`ene and Sansuc. By extending Sansuc's exact sequence, we show the torsionness of Brauer…

The purpose of this article is twofold. On the one hand, we prove asymptotic formulas for the quantitative distribution of rational points on any smooth non-split projective quadratic surface. We obtain the optimal error term for the real…

We extend an earlier result by Dan Abramovich, showing that a conjecture of S. Lang's implies the existence of a uniform bound on the number of $K$-rational points over all smooth curves of genus $g$ defined over $K$, where $K$ is any…

Let $K$ be a field finitely generated over the field of rational numbers, $K(c)$ the extension of $K$ obtained by adjoining all roots of unity, $L$ an infinite Galois extension of $K$, $X$ an abelian variety defined over $K$. We prove that…

We study the Brauer groups of regular conic bundles over elliptic curves defined over a number field $k$. We explicitly compute the Brauer group of the conic bundle when the singular fibres lie above $k$-points that are divisible by $2$ in…

We study rational points on a smooth variety X over a complete local field K with algebraically closed residue field, and models of X with tame quotient singularities. If a model of X is the quotient of a Galois action on a weak N\'eron…

Let $k$ be a field, $X$ a variety with tame quotient singularities and $\tilde{X}\to X$ a resolution of singularities. Any smooth rational point $x\in X(k)$ lifts to $\tilde{X}$ by the Lang-Nishimura theorem, but if $x$ is singular this…

Vl{\u a}du{\c t} characterized in 1999 the set of finite fields $k$ such that all elliptic curves defined over $k$ have a cyclic group of rational points. Under the conjecture of infinitely many Mersenne primes, this set is infinite. In…

Let $R$ be a semiartinian (von Neumann) regular ring with primitive factors artinian. The dimension sequence $\mathcal D _R$ is an invariant that captures the various skew-fields and dimensions occurring in the layers of the socle sequence…

Let $K$ be a number field, and let $\mathcal{X}$ be a proper regular flat scheme over $\mathcal{O}_{K}$ with a generic fiber $X$ geometrically connected over $K$. We prove that there is an exact sequence up to finite groups $0\rightarrow…

We report on our investigations concerning algebraic and transcendental Brauer-Manin obstructions to integral points on complements of a hyperplane section in degree four del Pezzo surfaces. We discuss moreover two concepts of an…

We provide an algorithm for calculating the unramified Brauer group of a homogeneous space $X$ of a semi-simple simply connected group $H$ with finite geometric stabiliser over any field of characteristic 0. When $k$ is a number field, we…

An effective formula for the Bergman kernel on $\mathbb{H}_{\gamma} = \{|z_1|^\gamma < |z_2| < 1 \}$ is obtained for rational $\gamma = \frac{m}{n} >1$. The formula depends on arithmetic properties of $\gamma$, which uncovers new symmetries…

Let K/Q be a field extension of finite degree and let P(t) be a polynomial over Q that splits into linear factors over Q. We show that any smooth model of the affine variety defined by the equation N_{K/Q} (k) = P(t) satisfies the Hasse…

We report on our experiments and theoretical investigations concerning weak approximation and the transcendental Brauer-Manin obstruction for special Kummer surfaces.
