In this paper, we study the distribution of integral points on parametric families of affine homogeneous varieties. By the work of Borel and Harish-Chandra, the set of integral points on each such variety consists of finitely many orbits of…

Let $F_1,\dotsc,F_R$ be quadratic forms with integer coefficients in $n$ variables. When $n\geq 9R$ and the variety $V(F_1,\dotsc,F_R)$ is a smooth complete intersection, we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of integer points in an…

We prove that the Brauer-Manin obstruction is the only obstruction to the Hasse principle for homogeneous spaces with nilpotent stabilizer. We thus generalize recent results by Harpaz and Wittenberg on finite "hyper-solvable" stabilizers.…

This paper provides a unified approach to results on representations of affine Hecke algebras, cyclotomic Hecke algebras, affine BMW algebras, cyclotomic BMW algebras, Markov traces, Jacobi-Trudi type identities, dual pairs (Zelevinsky),…

We describe a method to compute the Brauer-Manin obstruction for smooth cubic surfaces over $\bbQ$ such that $\Br(S)/\Br(\bbQ)$ is of order two or four. This covers the vast majority of the cases when this group is non-zero. Our approach is…

We continue our study of the noncommutative algebraic and differential geometry of a particular class of deformations of toric varieties, focusing on aspects pertinent to the construction and enumeration of noncommutative instantons on…

In this paper we formalize and prove a conjecture of Braverman concerning integrals of the Chern polynomial of the tangent bundle to affine Laumon spaces. This provides the computation of the Nekrasov partition function of N = 2 gauge…

We give uniform upper bounds for the number of integral points of bounded height on affine hypersurfaces, which generalise earlier results of Browning,Heath-Brown and the author.

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…

Transcendental Brauer elements are notoriously difficult to compute. Work of Wittenberg, and later, Ieronymou, gives a method for computing 2-torsion transcendental classes on surfaces that have a genus 1 fibration with rational 2-torsion…

It is known that the Brauer--Manin obstruction to the Hasse principle is vacuous for smooth Fano hypersurfaces of dimension at least $3$ over any number field. Moreover, for such varieties it follows from a general conjecture of…

We describe descent on families of torsors of a constant torus. A recent result of Browning and Matthiesen then implies that the Brauer--Manin obstruction controls the Hasse principle and weak approximation when the ground field is the…

This paper considers a class of nonlinear time harmonic Maxwell systems at fixed frequency, with nonlinear terms taking the form $\mathscr{X}(x,|\vec E(x)|^2)\vec E(x)$, $\mathscr{Y}(x,|\vec H(x)|^2)\vec H(x)$, such that $\mathscr{X}(x,s)$,…

We prove the Hasse principle and weak approximation for varieties defined over number fields by the nonsingular intersection of pairs of quadratic forms in 8 variables. The argument develops work of Colliot-Thelene, Sansuc and…

We classify GL(2,R) invariant point markings over components of strata of Abelian differentials. Such point markings exist only when the component is hyperelliptic and arise from marking Weierstrass points or two points exchanged by the…

We introduce a diffeomorphism invariant of $4$-manifolds, the $\mathrm{Pin}^-(2)$-monopole invariant, defined by using the $\mathrm{Pin}^-(2)$-monopole equations. We compute the invariants of several $4$-manifolds, and prove gluing…

The paper deals with the cohomological invariants of smooth and connected linear algebraic groups over an arbitrary field. More precisely, we study degree $2$ invariants with coefficients $\mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}(1)$, that is invariants…

We obtain a refinement of Manin-Mumford (Raynaud's Theorem) for abelian schemes over some ring of integers. Torsion points are replaced by special 0-cycles, that is reductions modulo some, possibly varying, prime of Galois orbits of torsion…

A fairly general continuation theorem of Leray-Schauder type for the class of so-called admissible multimaps is set forth. This result is then used to establish a universal rule for solving operator inclusions of Hammerstein type in…

We show how to construct counter-examples to the Hasse principle over the field of rational numbers on Atkin-Lehner quotients of Shimura curves and on twisted forms of Shimura curves by Atkin-Lehner involutions. A particular example is the…
