We present a detailed and simplified version of Hrushovski's algorithm that determines the Galois group of a linear differential equation. There are three major ingredients in this algorithm. The first is to look for a degree bound for…

We study Galois embedding problems arising from the 3-torsion of elliptic curves defined over $\mathbb{Q}$, extending the correspondence to all possible images of mod 3 Galois representations; namely,…

We prove results about 1-cycles on certain Fano varieties using techniques that rely on rational curves. Firstly, we show that Fano weighted complete intersections with index bigger than half their dimension have trivial first Griffiths…

We develop a Galois theory for linear differential equations equipped with the action of an endomorphism. This theory is aimed at studying the difference algebraic relations among the solutions of a linear differential equation. The Galois…

For many finite groups, the Inverse Galois Problem can be approached through modular/automorphic Galois representations. This is a report explaining the basic strategy, ideas and methods behind some recent results. It focusses mostly on the…

We extend Kovacic's algorithm to compute the differential Galois group of some second order parameterized linear differential equation. In the case where no Liouvillian solutions could be found, we give a necessary and sufficient condition…

The distribution of degree $d$ points on curves is well understood, especially for low degrees. We refine this study to include information on the Galois group in the simplest interesting case: $d = 3$. For curves of genus at least 5, we…

We present a family of algorithms for computing the Galois group of a polynomial defined over a $p$-adic field. Apart from the "naive" algorithm, these are the first general algorithms for this task. As an application, we compute the Galois…

We compute the fundamental group of the Galois cover of a surface of degree~$8$, with singularities of degree $4$, whose degeneration envelope is isomorphic to an octahedron. The group is shown to be a metabelian group of order $2^{23}$.…

We describe the Fano scheme of lines on a general cubic threefold containing a plane over a field $k$ of characteristic different from 2. Then, we use the Fano scheme to characterize rationality for such cubic threefolds over nonclosed…

Given a seven-element set $X = \{1,2,3,4,5,6,7\}$, there are 30 ways to define a Fano plane on it. Let us call a line of such Fano plane, that is to say an unordered triple from $X$, ordinary or defective according as the sum of two smaller…

A cubic Galois polynomial is a cubic polynomial with rational coefficients that defines a cubic Galois field. Its discriminant is a full square and its roots $x_1,x_2,x_3$ (enumerated in some order) are real. There exists (and only one)…

We prove that the enumerative geometry of lines on smooth cubic surfaces is governed by the arithmetic of the base field. In 1949, Segre proved that the number of lines on a smooth cubic surface over any field is 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 15, or…
