We prove new results on the distribution of rational points on ramified covers of abelian varieties over finitely generated fields $k$ of characteristic zero. For example, given a ramified cover $\pi : X \to A$, where $A$ is an abelian…

It is known that, under a necessary non-compactness assumption, the Brauer-Manin obstruction is the only one to strong approximation on homogeneous spaces $X$ under a linear group $G$ (or under a connected algebraic group, under assumption…

In this article, we investigate the possible torsion subgroups of twists of abelian varieties with good reduction. As an application, we prove a theorem concerning ramified primes over any quadratic extension where odd-order torsion growth…

Following recent work by E. Fuchs et al., we study the Brauer-Manin obstruction for integral points on Wehler K3 surfaces of Markoff type. In particular, we construct some families which fail the integral Hasse principle via the…

In this paper we develop the obstruction theory for lifting complexes, up to quasi-isomorphism, to derived categories of flat nilpotent deformations of abelian categories. As a particular case we also obtain the corresponding obstruction…

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…

A map $\varphi:K\to R^2$ of a graph $K$ is approximable by embeddings, if for each $\varepsilon>0$ there is an $\varepsilon$-close to $\varphi$ embedding $f:K\to R^2$. Analogous notions were studied in computer science under the names of…

We consider the minimization of non-convex quadratic forms regularized by a cubic term, which exhibit multiple saddle points and poor local minima. Nonetheless, we prove that, under mild assumptions, gradient descent approximates the…

Let $p>5$ be a prime integer and $K/\mathbb{Q}_p$ a finite ramified extension with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}$ and uniformizer $\pi$. Let $n>1$ be a positive integer and $\rho_n:G_\mathbb{Q} \to \text{GL}_2(\mathcal{O}/\pi^n)$ be a…

This paper investigates the distribution of rational and algebraic points of bounded weighted height in weighted projective spaces over number fields. For a weighted projective space with weights q over a number field k of degree m, we…

For a smooth surface X over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, we consider the ramification of an Artin-Schreier extension of X. A ramification at a point of codimension 1 of X is understood by the Swan conductor. A…

This article introduces and studies the tight approximation property, a property of algebraic varieties defined over the function field of a complex or real curve that refines the weak approximation property (and the known cohomological…

We study the distribution of the Brauer group and the frequency of the Brauer--Manin obstruction to the Hasse principle and weak approximation in a family of smooth del Pezzo surfaces of degree four over the rationals.

For a polarized family of complex projective manifolds, we identify the algebraic obstructions that govern the existence of approximate solutions to the Wess-Zumino-Witten equation. When this is specialized to the fibration associated with…

It is well-known that the Hasse principle holds for quadric hypersurfaces. The Hasse principle fails for integral points on smooth quadric hypersurfaces of dimension 2 but the failure can be completely explained by the Brauer-Manin…

We prove an adelic descent result for localizing invariants: for each Noetherian scheme $X$ of finite Krull dimension and any localizing invariant $E$, e.g., algebraic K-theory of Bass-Thomason, there is an equivalence $E(X)\simeq \lim…

Following the work of Waldschmidt, we investigate problems in Diophantine approximation on abelian varieties. First we show that a conjecture of Waldschmidt for a given simple abelian variety is equivalent to a well-known Diophantine…

Suppose $X$ is a smooth projective connected curve defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$ and $B \subset X(k)$ is a finite, possibly empty, set of points. The Newton polygon of a degree $p$ Galois cover of…

We develop the deformation-obstruction calculus for morphisms of complexes with a fixed lift of the codomain, to derived categories of flat nilpotent deformations of abelian categories. As an application, we give an alternative proof that…

In this manuscript, we formulate the differential Hurwitz tree obstructions for the refined local lifting problem. We specifically explore the circumstances under which these obstructions vanish for cyclic covers. The constructions…
