We will prove the Brannan conjecture for particular values of the parameter. The basic tool of the study is an integral representation published in a recent work [3].
We prove new cases of the Hasse principle for Kummer surfaces constructed from 2-coverings of Jacobians of genus 2 curves, assuming finiteness of relevant Tate--Shafarevich groups. Under the same assumption, we deduce the Hasse principle…
In this paper we make a Gaussian integer version of the Erd\H{o}s-Straus conjecture and we solve the Erd\H{o}s-Straus diophantine equation over the rings of integers of norm-Euclidean quadratic fields.
Given a Brauer class on a K3 surface defined over a number field, we prove that there exists infinitely many reductions where the Brauer class vanishes, under certain technical hypotheses, answering a question of…
For schemes X over global or local fields, or over their rings of integers, K. Kato stated several conjectures on certain complexes of Gersten-Bloch-Ogus type, generalizing the fundamental exact sequence of Brauer groups for a global field.…
We propose a conjecture, similar to Skolem's conjecture, on a Hasse-type principle for exponential diophantine equations. We prove that in a sense the principle is valid for "almost all" equations. Based upon this we propose a general…
We formulate a very general conjecture relating the analytical invariants of a normal surface singularity to the Seiberg-Witten invariants of its link provided that the link is a rational homology sphere. As supporting evidence, we…
In this paper, we prove a Brezis-Merle type inequality for $k$-convex functions vanishing on the boundary. As an application, we establish an Alexandrov-Bakelman-Pucci type estimate for the intermediate Hessian equation. Furthermore, we…
We establish new upper bounds on the number of failures of the integral Hasse principle within the family of Markoff type cubic surfaces $x^2+ y^2+ z^2- xyz= a$ with $|a|\leq A$ as $A\to \infty$. Our bound improves upon existing work of…
We study equations in four variables (x,y,z,t) of the shape q(x,y,z)=P(t), where q(x,y,z) is an indefinite ternary quadratic form over the integers and P(t) is a polynomial in one variable with integral coefficients. If P(t) is not the…
The Euler obstruction of a function can be viewed as a generalization of the Milnor number for functions defined on singular spaces. In this work, using the Euler obstruction of a function, we give a version of the L\^e-Greuel formula for…
We give an algorithm that takes a smooth hypersurface over a number field and computes a $p$-adic approximation of the obstruction map on the Tate classes of a finite reduction. This gives an upper bound on the "middle Picard number" of the…
This paper is an extension program of the notion of circle of partition developed in our first paper \cite{CoP}. As an application we prove the Erd\H{o}s-Tur\'{a}n additive base conjecture.
We upgrade Howard's divisibility toward Perrin-Riou's Heegner point Main Conjecture to an equality under some mild conditions. We do this by exploiting Wei Zhang's proof of the Kolyvagin conjecture. The main ingredient is an improvement of…
In this article, we study the obstructions to the local-global principle for homogeneous spaces with connected or abelian stabilizers over finite extensions of the field $\mathbb{C}((x,y))$ of Laurent series in two variables over the…
The \S 2 of our work "Sous-groupe de Brauer invariant et obstruction de descente it\'er\'ee" uses a statement about the degree two K\"unneth formula proved by Skorobogatov and Zarhin in their paper "The Brauer group and the Brauer-Manin set…
The Erd\H{o}s similarity conjecture asserted that an infinite set of real numbers cannot be affinely embedded into every measurable set of positive Lebesgue measure. The problem is still open, in particular for all fast decaying sequences.…
We generalise a result of Heath-Brown and Skorobogatov to show that a certain class of varieties over a number field $k$ satisfies Weak Approximation and the Hasse Principle, provided there is no Brauer-Manin obstruction.
We study Kummer varieties attached to 2-coverings of abelian varieties of arbitrary dimension. Over a number field we show that the subgroup of odd order elements of the Brauer group does not obstruct the Hasse principle. Sufficient…
In this short note, we state a stable and a $\tau$-reduced version of the second Brauer-Thrall Conjecture. The former is a slight strengthening of a brick version of the second Brauer-Thrall Conjecture raised by Mousavand and…
