We prove an upper bound for the number of rational points of bounded height on irreducible affine hypersurfaces. More precisely, given an irreducible polynomial $f \in \mathbb{Z}[X_1, \dots, X_n]$, we prove an upper bound on the number of…
This paper recasts some of the recent literature on Kim's extension of Chabauty's method for bounding points on curves in the language of motivic periods. A variant of the higher Albanese manifolds is defined which is equipped with a…
Given a set of endomorphisms on $\mathbb{P}^N$, we establish an upper bound on the number of points of bounded height in the associated monoid orbits. Moreover, we give a more refined estimate with an associated lower bound when the monoid…
Let $B$ be a sixth-power-free integer and $P$ be a non-torsion point on the Mordell curve $E_B:y^2=x^3+B$. In this paper, we study integral multiples $[n]P$ of $P$. Among other results, we show that $P$ has at most three integral multiples…
Let $X$ be an affine or a projective variety defined over a number field $K$ and $\varphi:{\bf C}\to X({\bf C})$ be a holomorphic map with Zariski dense image. We estimate the number of rational points of height bounded by $H$ in the image…
In this paper we prove the finiteness of the set of S-integral points of a punctured rational elliptic curve without complex multiplication using the Chabauty-Kim method. This extends previous results of Kim in the complex multiplication…
We describe how the quadratic Chabauty method may be applied to explicitly determine the set of rational points on modular curves of genus $g>1$ whose Jacobians have Mordell--Weil rank $g$. This extends our previous work on the split Cartan…
Let $P$ and $Q$ be polynomials in one variable over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic zero. Let $f$ and $g$ be elements of a function field $\K$ over $k$ such that $P(f)=Q(g).$ We give conditions on $P$ and $Q$ such that…
We give bounds for exponential sums over curves defined over Galois rings. We first define summation subsets as the images of lifts of points from affine opens of the reduced curve, and we give bounds for the degrees of their coordinate…
We prove upper bounds on the graph diameters of polytopes in two settings. The first is a worst-case bound for polytopes defined by integer constraints in terms of the height of the integers and certain subdeterminants of the constraint…
We determine all the quadratic points on the genus $13$ modular curve $X_0(163)$, thus completing the answer to a recent question of Banwait, the second-named author, and Padurariu. In doing so, we investigate a curious phenomenon involving…
In this paper, we introduce the notion of the diagonal property and the weak point property for an ind-variety. We prove that the ind-varieties of higher rank divisors of integral slopes on a smooth projective curve have the weak point…
Let $X$ be a projective variety over a field. In this paper, we will construct a moduli space of very ample line bundles on $X$. In doing so, we develop a generalization of Fitting ideals to complexes of sheaves on $X$. We give other…
We prove the existence of curves of genus $7$ and $12$ over the field with $11^5$ elements, reaching the Hasse-Weil-Serre upper bound. These curves are quotients of modular curves and we give explicit equations. We compute the number of…
Conditionally on the Tate--Shafarevich and Bloch--Kato Conjectures, we give an explicit upper bound on the size of the $p$-adic Chabauty--Kim locus, and hence on the number of rational points, of a smooth projective curve $X/\mathbb{Q}$ of…
The vertices of the integer hull are the integral equivalent to the well-studied basic feasible solutions of linear programs. In this paper we give new bounds on the number of non-zero components -- their support -- of these vertices…
We consider elliptic curves defined by an equation of the form $y^2=x^3+f(t)$, where $f\in k[t]$ has coefficients in a perfect field $k$ of characteristic not $2$ or $3$. By performing $2$ and $3$-descent, we obtain, under suitable…
We give a formula for divisors of modular units on $X_1(N)$ and use it to prove that the $\mathbb{Q}$-gonality of the modular curve $X_1(N)$ is bounded above by $\left[\frac{11N^2}{840}\right]$, where $[\bullet]$ denotes the nearest…
We extend work of Heath-Brown and Salberger, based on the determinant method, to provide a uniform upper bound for the number of integral points of bounded height on an affine surface, which are subject to a polynomial congruence condition.…
We prove asymptotic formulas for the number of rational points of bounded height on certain blow-ups of the projective space.
