Laplace problems on planar domains can be solved by means of least-squares expansions associated with polynomial or rational approximations. Here it is shown that, even in the context of an analytic domain with analytic boundary data, the…

We show that through a point of an affine variety there always exists a smooth plane curve inside the ambient affine space, which has the multiplicity of intersection with the variety at least 3. This result has an application to the study…

The moduli space $\mathcal{M}_d$ of degree $d\geq2$ rational maps can naturally be endowed with a measure $\mu_\mathrm{bif}$ detecting maximal bifurcations, called the bifurcation measure. We prove that the support of the bifurcation…

All binary plane curves of degree less than 7 are examined for curves with a large number of Fq rational points on their smooth model, for q = 2^m ; m = 3, 4,...,11. Previous results are improved, and many new curves are found meeting or…

We show that any subset of the natural numbers with positive logarithmic Banach density contains a set that is within a factor of two of a geometric progression, improving the bound on a previous result of the authors. Density conditions on…

We relate generalized Lebesgue decompositions of measures in terms of curve fragments (Alberti representations) and Weaver derivations. This correspondence leads to a geometric characterization of the local norm on the Weaver cotangent…

Work of Laurent and Sarnak, following a conjecture of Lang, shows that the number of torsion points of order n on an algebraic subset of an affine complex torus is polynomial periodic. In this paper, we find bounds on the degree and period…

The Newton polygon of the implicit equation of a rational plane curve is explicitly determined by the multiplicities of any of its parametrizations. We give an intersection-theoretical proof of this fact based on a refinement of the…

Many questions about triangles and quadrilaterals with rational sides, diagonals and areas can be reduced to solving certain Diophantine equations. We look at a number of such questions including the question of approximating arbitrary…

By studying the theory of rational curves, we introduce a notion of rational simple connectedness for projective homogeneous spaces. As an application, we prove that over a function field of an algebraic surface, a projective homogeneous…

Lebesgue curve is a space-filling curve that fills the unit square through linear interpolation. In this study, we generalise Lebesgue's construction to generate space-filling curves from any given planar substitution satisfying a mild…

We obtain an improvement and broad generalisation of a result of N. Ailon and Z. Rudnick (2004) on common zeros of shifted powers of polynomials. Our approach is based on reducing this question to a more general question of counting…

We show that a doubling measure on the plane can give positive measure to the graph of a continuous function. This answers a question by Wang, Wen and Wen. Moreover we show that the doubling constant of the measure can be chosen to be…

Bauschke and Moursi have recently obtained results that implicitly contain the fact that the composition of finitely many averaged mappings on a Hilbert space that have approximate fixed points also has approximate fixed points and thus is…

We investigate affine Berkovich spaces over maximally complete fields and prove that they may be approximated by simpler spaces when the only functions we need to evaluate are polynomials of bounded degree. We derive applications to…

We establish estimates for the number of solutions of certain affine congruences. These estimates are then used to prove Manin's conjecture for a cubic surface split over Q and whose singularity type is D_4. This improves on a result of…

For a given elliptic curve, its associated $L$-function evaluated at $1$ is closely related to its real period. In this article, we generalize this principle to a rational curve. We count the rational points over all finite fields and use…

We study qualitative aspects of the Welschinger-like $\mathbb Z$-valued count of real rational curves on primitively polarized real $K3$ surfaces. In particular, we prove that with respect to the degree of the polarization, at logarithmic…

We study normal analytic compactifications of C^2 and describe their singularities and configuration of curves at infinity, in particular improving and generalizing results of (Brenton, Math. Ann. 206:303--310, 1973). As a by product we…

A method is presented for computing all the affine equivalences between two rational ruled surfaces defined by rational parametrizations that works directly in parametric rational form, i.e. without computing or making use of the implicit…
