Let $\alpha$ be an algebraic number of degree $d\ge 3$ and let $K$ be the algebraic number field $\Q(\alpha)$. When $\varepsilon$ is a unit of $K$ such that $\Q(\alpha\varepsilon)=K$, we consider the irreducible polynomial $f_\varepsilon(X)…

We solve Diophantine equations of the type $ a \, (x^3 \!+ \! y^3 \!+ \! z^3 ) = (x \! + \! y \! + \! z)^3$, where $x,y,z$ are integer variables, and the coefficient $a\neq 0$ is rational. We show that there are infinite families of such…

We prove that elliptic K3 surfaces over a number field which admit a second elliptic fibration satisfy the potential Hilbert property. Equivalently, the set of their rational points is not thin after a finite extension of the base field.…

Let $k$ be a field that is finitely generated over the field of rational numbers and $Br(k)$ the Brauer group of $k$. Let $X$ be an absolutely irreducible smooth projective variety over $k$, let $Br(X)$ be the cohomological…

Nikulin has classified all finite abelian groups acting symplectically on a K3 surface and he has shown that the induced action on the K3 lattice $U^3\oplus E_8(-1)^2$ depends only on the group but not on the K3 surface. For all the groups…

A variety $X/k$ is said to have the Hilbert Property if $X(k)$ is not thin. We shall describe some examples of varieties, for which the Hilbert Property is a new result. We give a criterion for determining when the Hilbert Property for a…

A rational triangle is a triangle with rational sides and rational area. A Heron triangle is a triangle with integral sides and integral area. In this article we will show that there exist infinitely many rational parametrizations, in terms…

A K3 surface over a number field has infinitely many rational points over a finite field extension. For K3 surfaces of degree 2, arising as double covers of $\mathbb{P}^2$ branched along a smooth sextic curve, we give a bound for the degree…

Recently, Hajdu and S\'{a}rk\"{o}zy studied the multiplicative decompositions of polynomial sequences. In particular, they showed that when $k \geq 3$, each infinite subset of $\{x^k+1: x \in \mathbb{N}\}$ is multiplicatively irreducible.…

Let $X/ \mathbb{C}$ be a K3 surface with complex multiplication by the ring of integers of a CM field $E$. We show that $X$ can always be defined over an Abelian extension $K/E$ explicitly determined by the discriminant form of the lattice…

We prove that for any of a wide class of elliptic surfaces $X$ defined over a number field $k$, if there is an algebraic point on $X$ that lies on only finitely many rational curves, then there is an algebraic point on $X$ that lies on no…

Given a variety over a number field, are its rational points potentially dense, i.e., does there exist a finite extension over which rational points are Zariski dense? We study the question of potential density for symmetric products of…

In this study, we construct four-dimensional F-theory models with 3 to 8 U(1) factors on products of K3 surfaces. We provide explicit Weierstrass equations of elliptic K3 surfaces with Mordell-Weil ranks of 3 to 8. We utilize the method of…

We present a complete list of extremal elliptic K3 surfaces. There are altogether 325 of them. The first 112 coincides with Miranda-Persson's list for semi-stable ones. The data include the transcendental lattice which determines uniquely…

Let k\geq 2 and consider the Diophantine inequality |x_1^k-\alp_2 x_2^k-\alp_3 x_3^k| <\tet. Our goal is to find non-trivial solutions in the variables x_i, 1\leq i\leq 3, all of size about P, assuming that \tet is sufficiently large. We…

A number alpha in R is diophantine if it is not well approximable by rationals, i.e. for some C, nu>0 and any relatively prime p, q in Z we have |alpha q -p|>C q^{-1-\vu}. It is well-known and easy to prove that almost every alpha in R is…

For an element $r$ of a ring $R$, a Diophantine $D(r)$ $m$-tuple is an $m$-tuple $(a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_m)$ of elements of $R$ such that for all $i,j$ with $i\neq j$, $a_ia_j+r$ is a perfect square in $R$. In this article, we compute and…

Let $X\subseteq \mathbb{P}^3$ be a smooth projective surface of degree $d\ge 4$ defined over a number field $K$, and let $N_{X^{\prime}}(B)$ be the number of rational points of $X$ of height at most $B$ that do not lie on lines contained in…

A Diophantine $m$-tuple is a set $A$ of $m$ positive integers such that $ab+1$ is a perfect square for every pair $a,b$ of distinct elements of $A$. We derive an asymptotic formula for the number of Diophantine quadruples whose elements are…

We give a description of the category of ordinary K3 surfaces over a finite field in terms of linear algebra data over Z. This gives an analogue for K3 surfaces of Deligne's description of the category of ordinary abelian varieties over a…
