The correspondence between del Pezzo surfaces and field theory models over the complex numbers or for split real forms is extended to other real forms, in particular to those compatible with supersymmetry. Specifically, all theories of the…

In 1983 Silverman and Tate showed that the set of points in a 1-dimensional family of abelian varieties where a section of infinite order has `small height' is finite. We conjecture a generalisation to higher-dimensional families, where we…

The Manin conjecture is established for a split singular cubic surface in P^3, with singularity type D_5.

In this paper, we propose the study of a conjecture whose affirmative solution would provide an example of a non-convex Chebyshev set in an infinite-dimensional real Hilbert space.

We show that, over every number field, the degree four del Pezzo surfaces that violate the Hasse principle are Zariski dense in the moduli scheme.

We give quantitative and qualitative results on the family of surfaces in $\mathbb{CP}^3$ containing finitely many twistor lines. We start by analyzing the ideal sheaf of a finite set of disjoint lines $E$. We prove that its general element…

We compare different constructions of mirrors of del Pezzo surfaces, focusing on degree $d \leq 3$. In particular, we extract Lefschetz fibrations, with associated exceptional collections, from the mirrors obtained via the Hori-Vafa and…

We study when the Picard group of smooth surfaces of degree $d\geq 5$ in $\mathbb{P}^3$ acquires extra classes. In particular we show that the so called exceptional components of the Noether-Lefschetz locus are not Zariski dense. This…

We study intersection theory for differential algebraic varieties. Particularly, we study families of differential hypersurface sections of arbitrary affine differential algebraic varieties over a differential field. We prove the…

We prove that every del Pezzo surface of degree two over a finite field is unirational, building on the work of Manin and an extension by Salgado, Testa, and V\'arilly-Alvarado, who had proved this for all but three surfaces. Over general…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group of exceptional type over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p \geqslant 0$ which is not algebraic over a finite field. Let $\mathcal{C}_1, \ldots, \mathcal{C}_t$ be non-central conjugacy…

Motivated by the study of unlikely intersection in the moduli space of rational maps, we initiate our investigation on algebraic dynamics for families of regular polynomial skew products in this article. Our goals are threefold. (1) We…

We prove Manin's conjecture for four singular quartic del Pezzo surfaces over imaginary quadratic number fields, using the universal torsor method.

This paper deals with $n$-dimensional algebras, over any field, which have only trivial derivation (automorphism) and simple algebras. It is shown that the corresponding sets of algebras are not empty and, in algebraically closed field…

We give an example that the volume of an $\mathbb{R}$-divisor on a family of complex smooth surfaces jumps at infinite many prime divisors in the base. Our example follows the construction in \cite{1}.

Let C be a curve of genus at least 2 imbedded in a product of elliptic curves. We give an explicit upper bound for the points in the intersection of C with the union of all algebraic subgroups of a certain codimension. As a corollary we…

Let p > 2 be prime. We state and prove (under mild hypotheses on the residual representation) a geometric refinement of the Breuil-M\'ezard conjecture for 2-dimensional mod p representations of the absolute Galois group of Qp. We also state…

We prove that for every relatively prime pair of integers $(d,r)$ with $r>0$, there exists an exceptional pair $({\mathcal O},V)$ on any del Pezzo surface of degree 4, such that $V$ is a bundle of rank $r$ and degree $d$. As an application,…

We study the extraordinary dimension function dim_{L} introduced by \v{S}\v{c}epin. An axiomatic characterization of this dimension function is obtained. We also introduce inductive dimensions ind_{L} and Ind_{L} and prove that for…

Let X be a geometrically smooth n-dimensional projective algebraic complex hypersurface in P^{n+1}(C). Using Green-Griffiths jets, we establish the existence of nonzero global algebraic differential equations that must be satisfied by every…
