Given a perfect field $k$ with algebraic closure $\overline{k}$ and a variety $X$ over $\overline{k}$, the field of moduli of $X$ is the subfield of $\overline{k}$ of elements fixed by field automorphisms…

We prove several incidence theorems in vector spaces over finite fields using bounds for various classes of exponential sums and apply these to Erdos-Falconer type distance problems.

We prove the following variant of the Erd\H{o}s distinct subset sums problem. Given $t \ge 0$ and sufficiently large $n$, every $n$-element set $A$ whose subset sums are distinct modulo $N=2^n+t$ satisfies $$\max A \ge…

In this paper we study extension theorems associated with general varieties in two dimensional vector spaces over finite fields. Applying Bezout's theorem, we obtain the sufficient and necessary conditions on general curves where sharp…

Given a finite set of points $S\subset\mathbb{R}^d$, a $k$-set of $S$ is a subset $A \subset S$ of size $k$ which can be strictly separated from $S \setminus A $ by a hyperplane. Similarly, a $k$-facet of a point set $S$ in general position…

Let $S_n$ be the symmetric group on $n$ points. Deza and Frankl [M. Deza and P. Frankl, On the maximum number of permutations with given maximal or minimal distance, J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 22 (1977) 352--360] proved that if ${\cal F}$ is…

The algebraic form of Hilbert's 13th Problem asks for the resolvent degree $\text{rd}(n)$ of the general polynomial $f(x) = x^n + a_1 x^{n-1} + \ldots + a_n$ of degree $n$, where $a_1, \ldots, a_n$ are independent variables. The resolvent…

For every number field $\mathbb{K}$, with $[\mathbb{K}:\mathbb{Q}] \geq 3$, we show that the number of non-associates of the same norm in a full module in $\mathbb{K}$ does not depend only on $\mathbb{K}$, but can also depend on the module…

Let $K$ be a global field and let $Z$ be a geometrically irreducible algebraic variety defined over $K$. We show that if a big set $S\subseteq Z$ of rational points of bounded height occupies few residue classes modulo $\mathfrak{p}$ for…

We study the Erd\H os-Falconer distance problem for a set $A\subset \mathbb{F}^2$, where $\mathbb{F}$ is a field of positive characteristic $p$. If $\mathbb{F}=\mathbb{F}_p$ and the cardinality $|A|$ exceeds $p^{5/4}$, we prove that $A$…

This paper applies the modular approach to obtain effectively computable bounds for Fermat-type equations over number fields, while also discussing the differences and obstructions that arise when considering such equations over totally…

Given a family $\mathcal{F}=\{A_1,\dots,A_s\}$ of subsets of $\mathbb{Z}_n$, define $\Delta \mathcal{F}$ to be the multiset of all (cyclic) distances dist$(x,y)$, where $\{x,y\} \subset A_i$, $x \neq y$, for some $i=1,\dots,s$. Taking…

The paper is concerned with the following version of Hilbert's irreducibility theorem: if $\pi: X \to Y$ is a Galois $G$-covering of varieties over a number field $k$ and $H \subset G$ is a subgroup, then for all sufficiently large and…

We prove a point-wise and average bound for the number of incidences between points and hyper-planes in vector spaces over finite fields. While our estimates are, in general, sharp, we observe an improvement for product sets and sets…

We give a complete answer to the analogue of Grothendieck conjecture on p-curvatures for q-difference equations defined over K(x), where K is any finitely generated extension of Q and q\in K can be either a transcendental or an algebraic…

Let k be a perfect field and A a finite dimensional k-algebra of finite global dimension (e.g. the path algebra of a finite quiver without oriented cycles). Making use of the recent theory of noncommutative motives, we prove that the value…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of order $q$ and $E$ be a set in $\mathbb{F}_q^d$. The distance set of $E$ is defined by $\Delta(E):=\{\lVert x-y \rVert :x,y\in E\}$, where $\lVert \alpha \rVert=\alpha_1^2+\dots+\alpha_d^2$. Iosevich,…

Forgetting a subspace from a partial flag yields another partial flag composed of fewer subspaces. This induces a forgetful map $\pi : X \to X'$ between the corresponding flag varieties. We prove here that, for a degree large enough, the…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > 3$. Let $A$ be an abelian surface over $k$. Fix an integer $n \geq 1$ such that $p \nmid n$ and let $K^{[n]}$ be the $n$-th Generalized Kummer Variety associated to $A$. In…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field of $q$ elements and $a_1,a_2, \ldots, a_k, b\in \mathbb{F}_q$. We investigate $N_{\mathbb{F}_q}(a_1, a_2, \ldots,a_k;b)$, the number of ordered solutions $(x_1, x_2, \ldots,x_k)\in\mathbb{F}_q^k$ of…
