Due to Narkiewicz a field $F$ has property (P) if for no polynomial $f\in F[x]$ of degree at least two there is an infinite $f$-invariant subset of $F$. We present a new example of an algebraic extension of $\mathbb{Q}$ satisfying (P). This…

For a non-zero algebraic number $\alpha$ of degree $d$, let $h(\alpha)$ denote its logarithmic Weil height. It is known that when $h(\alpha)$ is small, and $d$ is large, the conjugates of $\alpha$ are clustered near the unit circle and have…

An algebraic extension of the rational numbers is said to have the $\textit{Bogomolov property}$ (B) if the absolute logarithmic Weil height of its non-torsion elements is uniformly bounded from below. Given a continuous representation…

Let $\mathbf{G}$ be a reductive group defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ and let $\mathfrak{S}$ be a Siegel set in $\mathbf{G}(\mathbb{R})$. The Siegel property tells us that there are only finitely many $\gamma \in \mathbf{G}(\mathbb{Q})$ of…

We prove new combinatorial results about polynomial configurations in large subsets of finite fields. Bergelson--Leibman--McCutcheon (2005) showed that for any polynomial $P(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ with $P(0) = 0$, if $A \subseteq…

For rational points on algebraic varieties defined over a number field $K$, we study the behavior of the property of weak approximation with Brauer-Manin obstruction under extension of the ground field. We construct K-varieties accompanied…

Let k be a an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic, and we let h be the usual Weil height for the n-dimensional affine space corresponding to the function field k(t) (extended to its algebraic closure). We prove that for…

The Bounded Height Conjecture of Bombieri, Masser, and Zannier states that for any sufficiently generic algebraic subvariety of a semiabelian $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$-variety $G$ there is an upper bound on the Weil height of the points…

In this paper, we establish lower bounds on Weil height of algebraic integers in terms of the low lying zeros of the Dedekind zeta-function. As a result, we prove Lehmer's conjecture for certain infinite non-Galois extensions conditional on…

A field in which the (logarithmic) Weil height is bounded from below by a strictly positive constant is said to have the Bogomolov property (property (B)). Given a normalized eigenform $f\in S_k(\Gamma_0(N))$ Amoroso and Terracini proved…

The classical Brauer-Siegel conjecture describes the asymptotic behaviour of the product of the class number and the regulator in families of number fields. All known cases of the conjecture rely on reducing the problem, via group theoretic…

This is a revised version of ANT-0049. Given an elliptic curve E --> B over a base B with zero section i, we denote, letting E':= E - i(B), by L(E) the Q-vector space with basis ({s}, s \in E'(B)). Assume that B is smooth and separated over…

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…

Let $L$ and $M$ be two algebraically closed fields contained in some common larger field. It is obvious that the intersection $C=L\cap M$ is also algebraically closed. Although the compositum $LM$ is obviously perfect, there is no reason…

Let $K$ be a 1-dimensional function field over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$, and let $A/K$ be an abelian surface. Under mild assumptions, we prove a Lehmer-type lower bound for points in $A(\bar{K})$. More precisely,…

We prove that, in an arbitrary ordered field, L'H\^{o}pital's Rule is true if and only if the Least Upper Bound Property is true. We do the same for Taylor's Theorem with Peano Remainder, and for one other property sometimes given as a…

Let A be an abelian variety over a number field F with End(A/F) commutative. Let S be a subgroup of A(F) and let x be a point of A(F). Suppose that for almost all places v of F the reduction of x modulo v lies in the reduction of S modulo…

We prove several cases of Zimmer's conjecture for actions of higher-rank cocompact lattices on low dimensional manifolds. For example, if $\Gamma$ is a cocompact lattice in $\mathrm{Sl}(n, \mathbb R)$, $M$ is a compact manifold, and…

Green and Schroll give an easy criterion for a monomial algebra $A$ to be quasi-hereditary with respect to some partial order $\leq_A$. A natural follow-up question is under which conditions a monomial quasi-hereditary algebra $(A, \leq_A)$…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite rank subgroup of $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}^*$. We prove that the multiplicative group of the field generated by all elements in the divisible hull of $\Gamma$, is free abelian modulo this divisible hull. This proves…
