We study elliptic surfaces over $\mathbb{Q}(T)$ with coefficients of a Weierstrass model being polynomials in $\mathbb{Q}[T]$ with degree at most 2. We derive an explicit expression for their rank over $\mathbb{Q}(T)$ depending on the…

We enumerate plane complex algebraic curves of a given degree with one singularity of any given topological type. Our approach is to compute the homology classes of the corresponding equisingular strata in the parameter spaces of plane…

We present a specialized point-counting algorithm for a class of elliptic curves over F\_{p^2} that includes reductions of quadratic Q-curves modulo inert primes and, more generally, any elliptic curve over F\_{p^2} with a low-degree…

In this paper, we initiate the systematic study of density of algebraic points on surfaces. We give an effective asymptotic range in which the density degree set has regular behavior dictated by the index. By contrast, in small degree, the…

We generalize the explicit quadratic Chabauty techniques for integral points on odd degree hyperelliptic curves and for rational points on genus 2 bielliptic curves to arbitrary number fields using restriction of scalars. This is achieved…

We define and study analogs of curve graphs for infinite type surfaces. Our definitions use the geometry of a fixed surface and vertices of our graphs are infinite multicurves which are bounded in both a geometric and a topological sense.…

There exists a dictionary between hereditary orders and smooth stacky curves, resp. tame orders of global dimension 2 and Azumaya algebras on smooth stacky surfaces. We extend this dictionary by explaining how the restriction of a tame…

Let $K$ be a discretely valued Henselian field. Creutz and Viray show that the degree set of a curve $C$ over a $p$-adic field can miss infinitely many multiples of the index of $C$, a phenomenon that cannot occur over finitely generated…

We develop geometry-of-numbers methods to count orbits in coregular vector spaces having bounded invariants over any global field. We apply these techniques to bound the average ranks and determine average Selmer group sizes of elliptic…

We realize the Apollonian group associated to an integral Apollonian circle packings, and some of its generalizations, as a group of automorphisms of an algebraic surface. Borrowing some results in the theory of orbit counting, we study the…

Using the theory of noncommutative symmetric functions, we introduce the higher order peak algebras, a sequence of graded Hopf algebras which contain the descent algebra and the usual peak algebra as initial cases (N = 1 and N = 2). We…

Many classical results in algebraic geometry arise from investigating some extremal behaviors that appear among projective varieties not lying on any hypersurface of fixed degree. We study two numerical invariants attached to such…

Let F and K be number fields, with F contained in K. and let O_F and O_K be their rings of integers. If there exists an elliptic curve E over F such that E(F) and E(K) have rank 1, then there exists a diophantine definition of O_F over O_K.

We describe gradings by finite abelian groups on the associative algebras of infinite matrices with finitely many nonzero entries, over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero.

We describe a system of plane algebraic curves defined over \Z, attached naturally to the exponential function. On of these is a remarkable curve of degree 6 that has genus equal to 1. As the sectic curve has rational points, it is an…

Atiyah classifies vector bundles on elliptic curves $E$ over an algebraically closed field of any characteristic. On the other hand, a rank $2$ vector bundle on $E$ defines a surface $S$ with a $\mathbb{P}^1$-bundle structure on $E$. We…

The number of topologically different plane real algebraic curves of a given degree $d$ has the form $\exp(C d^2 + o(d^2))$. We determine the best available upper bound for the constant $C$. This bound follows from Arnold inequalities on…

We present a heuristic that suggests that ranks of elliptic curves over the rationals are bounded. In fact, it suggests that there are only finitely many elliptic curves of rank greater than 21. Our heuristic is based on modeling the ranks…

Consider a Jacobian elliptic surface $E \to C$ with a section $P$ of infinite order. Previous work of the first author and Urz\'ua over the complex numbers gives a bound on the number of tangencies between $P$ and a torsion section of $E$…
