The class in the Brauer group of a quaternion algebra over a field is 2-torsion. We study the following question: Which 2-torsion elements of the Brauer group of a complex function field are representable by quaternion algebras? Using…

We prove a surface embedding theorem for 4-manifolds with good fundamental group in the presence of dual spheres, with no restriction on the normal bundles. The new obstruction is a Kervaire-Milnor invariant for surfaces and we give a…

We prove a 1973 conjecture due to Erd\H{o}s on the existence of Steiner triple systems with arbitrarily high girth.

We prove asymptotic formulas for counting (primitive) integral points with local conditions on the (punctured) affine cone defined by a non-singular integral ternary quadratic form, and we relate our results to the Brauer--Manin…

For rational points on algebraic varieties defined over a number field $K$, we study the behavior of the property of weak approximation with Brauer-Manin obstruction under extension of the ground field. We construct K-varieties accompanied…

In this article, we studied the inverse Erd\H{o}s-Heilbronn problem with the restricted sumset from two components $A$ and $B$ that are not necessarily the same. We give a completely elementary proof for the problem in $\mathbb{Z}$ and some…

We study $p$-torsion Brauer classes in positive characteristic arising from differential forms. We relate this construction to the Brauer group of supersingular K3 surfaces and analyze the contribution of these classes to the Brauer-Manin…

On a bounded strictly pseudoconvex domain in $\mathbb{C}^n$, $n >1$, the smoothness of the Cheng-Yau solution to Fefferman's complex Monge-Amp\`ere equation up to the boundary is obstructed by a local curvature invariant of the boundary,…

On varieties defined over number fields, we consider obstructions to the Hasse principle given by subgroups of their Brauer groups. Given an arbitrary pair of non-zero finite abelian groups $B_0\subset B$, we prove the existence of a…

Despite the failure of the integral Hodge conjecture, we show that the rational Hodge conjecture implies an integral version (modulo torsion) of the absolute Hodge conjecture.

In this article, we study obstructions to weak approximation for connected linear groups and homogeneous spaces with connected or abelian stabilizers over finite extensions of $\mathbb C((x,y))$ or function fields of curves over $\mathbb…

Conditional on the Lefschetz standard conjecture in degree 2, we prove that the index of a Brauer class on a smooth projective variety divides a fixed power of its period, uniformly in smooth families. In the other direction, we reinterpret…

The aim of this note is to revisit the question of local-global principles for embeddings of etale algebras with involution into central simple algebras with involution over global fields of characteristic not 2. A necessary and sufficient…

Let F : X --> X be a morphism of a variety defined over a number field K, let V be a K-subvariety of X, and let O_F(P)= {F^n(P) :n=0,1,2,...} be the orbit of a point P in X(K). We describe a local-global principle for the intersection of V…

Let f:X->X be a morphism of a variety over a number field K. We consider local conditions and a "Bruaer-Manin" condition, defined by Hsia and Silverman, for the orbit of a point P in X(K) to be disjoint from a subvariety V of X, i.e., the…

Let $k$ be a number field and let $\pi \colon X \rightarrow\mathbb{P}_k^1$ be a smooth conic bundle. We show that if $X/k$ has four geometric singular fibers and either $X(\mathbb{A}_k)\neq \emptyset$ or $X/k$ has non-trivial Brauer group,…

We wish to give a short elementary proof of S. Saito's result that the Brauer-Manin obstruction for zero-cycles of degree 1 is the only one for curves, supposing the finiteness of the Tate-Shafarevich-group $\sha^1(A)$ of the Jacobian…

In this paper we show the Hasse principle for the Brauer group of a purely transcendental extension field in one variable over an arbitrary field.

Motivated by Brendle-Marques-Neves' counterexample to the Min-Oo's conjecture, we prove a volume constrained scalar curvature rigidity theorem which applies to the hemisphere.
