We give a construction of an affine Hecke algebra associated to any Coxeter group acting on an abelian variety by reflections; in the case of an affine Weyl group, the result is an elliptic analogue of the usual double affine Hecke algebra.…
The zeta function of a curve $C$ over a finite field may be expressed in terms of the characteristic polynomial of a unitary matrix $\Theta_C$. We develop and present a new technique to compute the expected value of…
We begin with a deformation of a differential graded algebra by adding time and using a homotopy. It is shown that the standard formulae of It\^o calculus are an example, with four caveats: First, it says nothing about probability. Second,…
In this work we study the Humbert-Edge's curves of type 5, defined as a complete intersection of four diagonal quadrics in $\mathbb{P}^5$. We characterize them using Kummer surfaces and using the geometry of these surfaces we construct some…
We use the invariant theory of binary quartics to give a new formula for the Cassels-Tate pairing on the $2$-Selmer group of an elliptic curve. Unlike earlier methods, our formula does not require us to solve any conics. An important role…
We develop a diagrammatic calculus for representations of unrolled quantum $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ at a fourth root of unity. This allows us to prove Seifert-Torres type formulas for certain splice links using quantum algebraic methods, rather…
The Welschinger invariants of real rational algebraic surfaces are natural analogues of the genus zero Gromov-Witten invariants. We establish a tropical formula to calculate the Welschinger invariants of real toric Del Pezzo surfaces for…
We study the Betti tables of reducible algebraic curves with a focus on connected line arrangements and provide a general formula for computing the quadratic strand of the Betti table for line arrangements that satisfy certain hypotheses.…
In this paper, we compute a formula for the $a$-number of certain hyperelliptic curves given by the equation $y^2= x^m+1$ for infinitely many values of $m$. The same question is studied for the curve corresponding to $y^2= x^m+x$.
From the Modularity Theorem proven by Wiles, Taylor, et al, we know that all elliptic curves are modular. It has been shown by Martin and Ono exactly which are represented by eta-quotients, and some examples of elliptic curves represented…
We find equations for the higher dimensional analogue of the modular curve X_0(3) using Mumford's algebraic formalism of algebraic theta functions. As a consequence, we derive a method for the construction of genus 2 hyperelliptic curves…
We present normal forms for elliptic curves over a field of characteristic $2$ analogous to Edwards normal form, and determine bases of addition laws, which provide strikingly simple expressions for the group law. We deduce efficient…
In this note we outline a way of computing the expected lenght of the Terracini scheme of a curve, when this scheme is expected to be finite and we give a closed formula for curves in $\p^4$. We also discuss the widely open case of…
In this article, we compute $\delta$-invariants of Du Val del Pezzo surfaces of degree $\ge 4$.
We introduce deformation theoretic methods for determining when a curve $X$ in a non-hyperelliptic jacobian $JC$ will deform with $JC$ to a non-jacobian. We apply these methods to a particular class of curves in the second symmetric power…
In this paper we study the geometry of the Severi varieties parametrizing curves on the rational ruled surface $\fn$. We compute the number of such curves through the appropriate number of fixed general points on $\fn$, and the number of…
In the present paper, we show that the motivic Hilbert zeta function for a curve singularity yields the generating functions for Euler numbers of punctual Hilbert schemes when any punctual Hilbert scheme admits an affine cell decomposition.…
Given asymptotic counts in number theory, a question of Venkatesh asks what is the topological nature of lower order terms. We consider the arithmetic aspect of the inertia stack of an algebraic stack over finite fields to partially answer…
We develop techniques for computing zeta functions associated with nilpotent groups, not necessarily associative algebras, and modules, as well as Igusa-type zeta functions. At the heart of our method lies an explicit convex-geometric…
We study tori attached to the fundamental groups of plane curves with arbitrary singularities. These tori provide complete information about homology of finite abelian covers of the plane branched along the curve. We calculate these tori in…
