We compute the rational points on certain members of the following family of hyperelliptic curves \[C_a \colon y^2 = x^8 + (4-4a^4) x^6 + (8a^4 + 6)x^4 + (4-4a^4)x^2 + 1\] via the method first developed by Dem'yanenko \cite{dem1966rational}…

Anderson introduced a $p$-adic version of soliton theory. He then applied it to the Jacobian variety of a cyclic quotient of a Fermat curve and showed that torsion points of certain prime order lay outside of the theta divisor. In this…

Let $X/\mathbb{Q}$ be a curve of genus $g \ge 2$ with Jacobian $J$ and let $\ell$ be a prime of good reduction. Using Selmer varieties, Kim defines a decreasing sequence \[ X(\mathbb{Q}_\ell) \supseteq X(\mathbb{Q}_\ell)_1 \supseteq…

In this survey of works on a characterization of Jacobians and Prym varieties among indecomposable principally polarized abelian varieties via the soliton theory we focus on a certain circle of ideas and methods which show that the…

We produce new explicit examples of genus-2 curves over the rational numbers whose Jacobian varieties have rational torsion points of large order. In particular, we produce a family of genus-2 curves over Q whose Jacobians have a rational…

We prove an analogue of the Yomdin-Gromov Lemma for $p$-adic definable sets and more broadly in a non-archimedean, definable context. This analogue keeps track of piecewise approximation by Taylor polynomials, a nontrivial aspect in the…

Using equidistribution techniques from Arakelov theory as well as recent results obtained by Dimitrov, Gao, and Habegger, we deduce uniform results on the Manin-Mumford and the Bogomolov conjecture. For each given integer $g \geq 2$, we…

We prove that the set of `low rank' points on sufficiently large fibre powers of families of curves are not Zariski dense. The recent work of Dimitrov-Gao-Habegger and K\"uhne (and Yuan) imply the existence of a bound which is exponential…

Building on work by Dan-Cohen--Wewers, Dan-Cohen [DC], and Brown, we push the computational boundary of our explicit motivic version of Kim's method in the case of the thrice punctured line over an open subscheme of Spec ZZ. To do so, we…

We continue our study of integral points on moduli schemes by combining the method of Faltings (Arakelov, Parsin, Szpiro) with modularity results and Masser-W\"ustholz isogeny estimates. In this work we explicitly bound the height and the…

We use height arguments to prove two results about the dynamical Mordell-Lang problem. (i) For an endomorphism of a projective variety, the return set of a dense orbit into a curve is finite if any cohomological Lyapunov multiplier of any…

Let S be a smooth cubic surface over a field K. It is well-known that new K-rational points may be obtained from old ones by secant and tangent constructions. A Mordell-Weil generating set is a subset B of S(K) of minimal cardinality which…

Let X be a curve over a number field K with genus g>=2, $\pp$ a prime of O_K over an unramified rational prime p>2r, J the Jacobian of X, r=rank J(K), and $\scrX$ a regular proper model of X at $\pp$. Suppose r<g. We prove that…

The direct or algorithmic approach for the Jacobian problem, consisting of the direct construction of the inverse polynomials is proposed. The so called principle and derived Jacobi conditions are proposed and discussed. The algorithmic…

We prove a dynamical version of the Mordell-Lang conjecture for subvarieties of the affine space A^g over a p-adic field, endowed with polynomial actions on each coordinate of A^g. We use analytic methods similar to the ones employed by…

In this work we study quantitative existence results for genus-$2$ curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ whose Jacobians have Mordell-Weil rank at least $1$ or $2$, ordering the curves by the naive height of their integral Weierstrass models. We use…

There are three aims of this note. The first one is to report some advances around the dynamical Mordell-Lang (=DML) conjecture. Second, we generalize some known results. For example, the Dynamical Mordell-lang conjecture was known for…

To compute generators for the Mordell-Weil group of an elliptic curve over a number field, one needs to bound the difference between the naive and the canonical height from above. We give an elementary and fast method to compute an upper…

Let $C$ be a smooth projective absolutely irreducible curve of genus $g \geq 2$ over a number field $K$ of degree $d$, and denote its Jacobian by $J$. Denote the Mordell--Weil rank of $J(K)$ by $r$. We give an explicit and practical…

The Beilinson-Bloch type conjectures predict that the low degree rational Chow groups of intersections of quadrics are one dimensional. This conjecture was proved by Otwinowska. Making use of homological projective duality and the recent…
