Nous montrons comment associer \`a une gerbe d\'efinie sur un corps de nombres une obstruction de Brauer-Manin mesurant, comme dans le cas des vari\'et\'es, le d\'efaut d'existence d'une section globale. Ceci nous conduit \`a une…

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…

In this paper we develop techniques for computing the relative Brauer group of curves, focusing particularly on the case where the genus is 1. We use these techniques to show that the relative Brauer group may be infinite (for certain…

A new characterization of rational torsion subgroups of elliptic curves is found, for points of order greater than 4, through the existence of solution for systems of Thue equations.

We present an algorithm for computing curves and families of curves of prescribed degree and geometric genus on real rational surfaces.

A new Berry-Esseen bound for non-linear functionals of non-symmetric and non-homogeneous infinite Rademacher sequences is established. It is based on a discrete version of the Malliavin-Stein method and an analysis of the discrete…

We study the integral Brauer--Manin obstruction for affine diagonal cubic surfaces, which we employ to construct the first counterexamples to the integral Hasse principle in this setting. We then count in three natural ways how such…

In algebraic geometry, it is important to provide effective parametrizations for families of curves, both in theory and in practice. In this paper, we present such an effective parametrization for the moduli of genus-$5$ curves that are…

Let r > 0 be an integer. We present a sufficient condition for an abelian variety A over a number field k to have infinitely many quadratic twists of rank at least r, in terms of density properties of rational points on the Kummer variety…

In this article, we establish an analogue of the dimension growth conjecture, which is regarding the density of rational points on projective varieties, for compact submanifolds of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with non-vanishing curvature. We also…

We study the collection of group structures that can be realized as a group of rational points on an elliptic curve over a finite field (such groups are well known to be of rank at most two). We also study various subsets of this collection…

In this paper, we give an explicit formula as well as a practical algorithm for computing the Cassels-Tate pairing on $\text{Sel}^{2}(J) \times \text{Sel}^{2}(J)$ where $J$ is the Jacobian variety of a genus two curve under the assumption…

On varieties defined over number fields, we consider obstructions to the Hasse principle given by subgroups of their Brauer groups. Given an arbitrary pair of non-zero finite abelian groups $B_0\subset B$, we prove the existence of a…

We study the failure of the integral Hasse principle and strong approximation for the Erd\H{o}s-Straus conjecture using the Brauer-Manin obstruction.

Bounding the number of rational points of height at most $H$ on irreducible algebraic plane curves of degree $d$ has been an intense topic of investigation since the work by Bombieri and Pila. In this paper we establish optimal dependence…

We study the strong approximation for classifying stacks $BG$, where $G$ is a linear algebraic group over a number field $k$. More specifically, we prove that the \'etale Brauer-Manin obstruction is the only obstruction to strong…

In this paper we develop the formalism of rational complex Bezier curves. This framework is a simple extension of the CAD paradigm, since it describes arc of curves in terms of control polygons and weights, which are extended to complex…

In this paper, the proof of the existence of a rational point on an elliptic curve is transformed into the proof of the existence of an integer solution for a Diophantine equation. By a new formula for calculating the number of elements in…

We consider genus $g$ hyperelliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ with a rational Weierstrass point, ordered by height. If $d < g$ is odd, we prove, under an assumption, that there exists $B_d$ such that a positive proportion of these curves…

In a 1975 paper of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer, a number of explicit norm form cubic surfaces are shown to fail the Hasse Principle. They make a correspondence between this failure and the Brauer--Manin obstruction, recently discovered by…
