We construct genus one curves on base extensions of generic Severi--Brauer varieties of a given index and period which are versal objects for families of geometrically elliptic normal curves. We also compute the periods and indices of these…

Period and index of a curve $X/K$ over a $p$-adic local field $K$ such that the fundamental group $\pi_1(X/K)$ admits a splitting are shown to be powers of $p$. As a consequence, examples of curves over number fields are constructed where…

For smooth projective curves the Clifford index is an important invariant which provides a bound for the dimension of the space of sections of a line bundle. This is the first step in distinguishing curves of the same genus. In this paper…

We consider regularly stable parabolic symplectic and orthogonal bundles over an irreducible smooth projective curve over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. The morphism from the moduli stack of such bundles to its coarse…

In this paper, we study semilinear elliptic equations in domains where there is a natural class of solutions, which depend only on one variable, and whose simple geometry reflects the geometry of the domain. We prove that under quite…

Let E/K be an elliptic curve defined over a number field, and let p be a prime number such that E(K) has full p-torsion. We show that the order of the p-part of the Shafarevich-Tate group of E/L is unbounded as L varies over degree p…

Using continuation methods, we study the global solution structure of periodic solutions for a class of periodically forced equations, generalizing the case of relativistic pendulum. We obtain results on the existence and multiplicity of…

For an elliptic curve $E$ defined over a field $k\subset \mathbb C$, we study iterated path integrals of logarithmic differential forms on $E^\dagger$, the universal vectorial extension of $E$. These are generalizations of the classical…

We provide an algorithm for computing the Euler characteristic of the curves $S_p$ in the space of cubic polynomials, consisting of all polynomials with a periodic critical point of period $p$. The curves were introduced in [Milnor,…

The main subject of this work is the difference between the coarse moduli space and the stack of hyperelliptic curves. We compute their Picard groups, giving explicit description of the generators. We get an application to the…

Let $X$ be a smooth geometrically connected projective curve of genus at least 2 over a field of characteristic zero. We compute the essential dimension of the moduli stack of symplectic bundles over $X$. Unlike the case of vector bundles,…

An explicit characterization of all elliptic algebro-geometric solutions of the AKNS hierarchy is presented. Our approach is based on (an extension of) a classical theorem of Picard, which guarantees the existence of solutions which are…

Given a curve $C$ over a field $K$, the period of $C/K$ is the gcd of degrees of $K$-rational divisor classes, while the index is the gcd of degrees of $K$-rational divisors. S. Lichtenbaum showed that the period and index must satisfy…

For a given elliptic curve, its associated $L$-function evaluated at $1$ is closely related to its real period. In this article, we generalize this principle to a rational curve. We count the rational points over all finite fields and use…

In this paper we prove a relation between the period of an elliptic curve and the period of its real and imaginary quadratic twists. This relation is often misstated in the literature.

A period of a rational integral is the result of integrating, with respect to one or several variables, a rational function over a closed path. This work focuses particularly on periods depending on a parameter: in this case the period…

We consider a family of genus 2 hyperelliptic curves of even order and obtain explicitly the system of 5 linear ODEs for periods of the corresponding Abelian integrals of first, second, and third kind, as functions of the parameters of the…

We develop a categorical index calculus for elliptic symbol families. The categorified index problems we consider are a secondary version of the traditional problem of expressing the index class in K-theory in terms of…

The sum of elliptic integrals simultaneously determines orbits in thr Kepler problem and the addition of divisors on elliptic curves. Periodic motion of a body in physical space is defined by symmetries, whereas periodic motion of divisors…
