Building on work by Chabauty from 1941, Coleman proved in 1985 an explicit bound for the number of rational points of a curve $C$ of genus $g\ge 2$ defined over a number field $F$, with Jacobian of rank at most $g-1$. Namely, in the case…

Following an idea of Ishida, we develop polynomial equations for certain unramified double covers of surfaces with p_g=q=1 and K^2=2. Our first main result provides an explicit surface surface X with these invariants defined over Q that has…

Let L --> X be a complex line bundle over a compact connected Riemann surface. We consider the abelian vortex equations on L when the metric on the surface has finitely many point degeneracies or conical singularities and the line bundle…

This paper devotes to the study of the classical Abel equation $\frac{dx}{dt}=g(t)x^{3}+f(t)x^{2}$, where $g(t)$ and $f(t)$ are trigonometric polynomials of degree $m\geq1$. We are interested in the problem that whether there is a uniform…

Let $S$ be a smooth cubic surface over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$. It is known that $\#S(\mathbb F_q) = 1 + aq + q^2$ for some $a \in \{-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,7\}$. Serre has asked which values of a can arise for a given $q$. Building on…

Let $(P, Q)$ be a pair of Jacobian polynomials. We can show that $ <P, Q>+l+2g(P)-2= 0= <P, [P,Q]>$, where $<f, g>$ is the intersection number of $f, g\in \CC[x, y]$ in the affine plane, $l$ is the number of branch at point at infinity and…

The cardinality of the set of $D\leqslant x$ for which the fundamental solution of the Pell equation $t^2-Du^2=1$ is less than $D^{\frac{1}{2}+\alpha}$ with $\alpha\in[\frac{1}{2},1]$ is studied and certain lower bounds are obtained,…

An affine factorable surface of the second kind in the three dimensional pseudo-Galilean space G13 is studied depending on the invariant theory and theory of differential equation. The first and second fundamental forms, Gaussian curvature…

We answer a question of Serre from the 1980s on rational points of bounded height on projective thin sets, in degree at least $4$. For degrees $2$ and $3$ we improve the known bounds in general. The focus is on thin sets of type II, namely…

This is the sequel to arXiv:math/0001089. In this paper, we complete the promised description of moduli of abelian surfaces of low degree, covering the cases of degree (1,12), (1,14), (1,16), (1,18) and (1,20). In each case, we describe…

For a graph $G$ the imbalance of an edge $uv$ of $G$ is $|deg_G(u)-deg_G(v)|$. Irregularity of a graph $G$ is defined as the sum of imbalances over all edges of $G$. In this paper we consider expansions and Pell graphs. If $H$ is an…

In this study, we find continued fraction expansion of sqrt(d) when d=a^2+2a where a is positive integer. We consider the integer solutions of the Pell equation x^2-(a^2+2a)y^2=N when N={-1,+1,-4,+4}. We formulate the n-th solution…

Since the 1970s, the complete classification (up to isogeny) of abelian varieties over finite fields with trivial group of rational points has been known from results of Madan--Pal and Robinson; with two exceptions these are all defined…

Evaluation of low degree hypergeometric polynomials to zero defines an algebraic hypersurface in the affine space of the free parameters and the argument. This article investigates the algebraic surfaces 2F1(-N,b;c;z)=0 for N=3 and N=4. As…

Finding polynomial solutions to Pell's equation is of interest as such solutions sometimes allow the fundamental units to be determined in an infinite class of real quadratic fields. In this paper, for each triple of positive integers…

This paper deals with singularities of genus 2 curves on a general (d_1,d_2)-polarized abelian surface (S,L). In analogy with Chen's results concerning rational curves on K3 surfaces [Ch1,Ch2], it is natural to ask whether all such curves…

We study the set of isomorphism classes of principal polarizations on abelian varieties of GL2-type. As applications of our results, we construct examples of curves C, C'/\Q of genus two which are nonisomorphic over \bar \Q and share…

We consider an Abel polynomial differential equation. For two given points a and b, the "Poincare mapping" of the equation transforms the values of its solution at a into their values at b. In this article, we study global analytic…

We compute an explicit closed formula for the Hilbert polynomial of the Jacobian algebra $M(f)$ of a reduced surface $X:f=0$ in $\mathbb P^3$ in terms of the graded Betti numbers of the algebra $M(f)$. When $X$ has only isolated…
