The equivariant cohomology of certain moduli spaces of sheaves on isotrivial elliptic surfaces are shown to admit representations of infinite dimensional Lie (super)algebras. The construction is based on work of Billig and Chen-Li-Tan on…
This note is the sequel to [A note on secondary K-theory. Algebra and Number Theory 10 (2016), no. 4, 887-906]. Making use of the recent theory of noncommutative motives, we prove that the canonical map from the derived Brauer group to the…
Let $f(z)=z^5+az^3+bz^2+cz+d \in \Z[z]$ and let us consider a del Pezzo surface of degree one given by the equation $\cal{E}_{f}: x^2-y^3-f(z)=0$. In this note we prove that if the set of rational points on the curve $E_{a,…
We study rational points on the elliptic surface given by the equation: $$y^2 = x^3 + AxQ(u,v)^2 + BQ(u,v)^3,$$ where $A,B\in \mathbb{Z}$ satisfy that $4A^3-27B^2\neq 0$ and $Q(u,v)$ is a positive-definite quadratic form. We prove…
We classify elliptic curves over the rationals whose N\'eron model over the integers is semi-abelian, with good reduction at p=2, and whose Mordell--Weil group contains an element of order two that stays non-trivial at p=2. Furthermore, we…
We prove that for any of a wide class of elliptic surfaces $X$ defined over a number field $k$, if there is an algebraic point on $X$ that lies on only finitely many rational curves, then there is an algebraic point on $X$ that lies on no…
We prove new results on the distribution of rational points on ramified covers of abelian varieties over finitely generated fields $k$ of characteristic zero. For example, given a ramified cover $\pi : X \to A$, where $A$ is an abelian…
Let F be a finite field and let b and N be integers. We prove explicit estimates for the probability that the number of rational points on a randomly chosen elliptic curve E over F equals b modulo N. The underlying tool is an…
We interpret the "explicit formula" in the sense of analytic number theory for the zeta function of an ordinary abelian variety of dimension g over a finite field as a transversal index theorem on a (2g+1)-dimensional Riemannian foliated…
We give a classification of all principally polarized abelian surfaces that admit an $(l,l)$-isogeny to themselves, and show how to compute all the abelian surfaces that occur. We make the classification explicit in the simplest case $l=2$.…
Let $S$ be a rational projective surface given by means of a projective rational parametrization whose base locus satisfies a mild assumption. In this paper we present an algorithm that provides three rational maps $f,g,h:\mathbb{A}^2 --\to…
The generating functions of the Severi degrees for sufficiently ample line bundles on algebraic surfaces are multiplicative in the topological invariants of the surface and the line bundle. Recently new proofs of this fact were given for…
This is an exposition in order to give an explicit way to understand (1) a non-topological proof for an existence of a base of an affine root system, (2) a Serre-type definition of an elliptic Lie algebra with rank =>2, and (3) the…
We adapt the theory of partition rank and analytic rank to the category of abelian groups. If $A_1, \dots, A_k$ are finite abelian groups and $\phi : A_1 \times \cdots \times A_k \to \mathbf{T}$ is a multilinear map, where $\mathbf{T} =…
Let R be a commutative ring with 1. For every homogeneous polynomial f(X_0,X_1,X_2) in R[X_0,X_1,X_2] of degree d <= 25, we find a explicit linear Pfaffian R-representation of f. We describe an empirical method that leads us to find such…
Let Z be an affine algebraic variety and ED(Z)= max(2 dim Z+1, dim TZ). Let X be a smooth algebraic variety isomorphic to a semi-simple linear algebraic group whose Lie algebra is a sum of special linear Lie algebras. We show that if dim X…
A ring R is called right principally-injective if every R-homomorphism from a principal right ideal aR to R (a in R), extends to R, or equivalently if every system of equations xa=b (a, b in R) is solvable in R. In this paper we show that…
For integers $k$, we consider the affine cubic surface $V_{k}$ given by $M({\bf x})=x_{1}^2 + x_{2}^2 +x_{3}^2 -x_{1}x_{2}x_{3}=k$. We show that for almost all $k$ the Hasse Principle holds, namely that $V_{k}(\mathbb{Z})$ is non-empty if…
Let $A$ be a non-isotrivial almost ordinary abelian surface with possibly bad reductions over a global function field of odd characteristic $p$. Suppose $\Delta$ is an infinite set of positive integers, such that…
We show that if f: X --> Y is a finite, separable morphism of smooth curves defined over a finite field F_q, where q is larger than an explicit constant depending only on the degree of f and the genus of X, then f maps X(F_q) surjectively…
