We consider the problem of counting the number of varieties in a family over $\mathbb{Q}$ with a rational point. We obtain lower bounds for this counting problem for some families over $\mathbb{P}^1$, even if the Hasse principle fails. We…
Let a polynomial $f \in \mathbb{Z}[X_1,\ldots,X_n]$ be given. The square sieve can provide an upper bound for the number of integral $\mathbf{x} \in [-B,B]^n$ such that $f(\mathbf{x})$ is a perfect square. Recently this has been generalized…
Let k be a global field of characteristic not 2. The classical Hasse-Minkowski theorem states that if two quadratic forms become isomorphic over all the completions of k, then they are isomorphic over k as well. It is natural to ask whether…
We generalize both the notion of polynomial functions on Lie groups and the notion of horizontally affine maps on Carnot groups. We fix a subset $S$ of the algebra $\mathfrak g$ of left-invariant vector fields on a Lie group $\mathbb G$ and…
Let $f(x_1,...,x_k)$ be a polynomial over a field $K$. This paper considers such questions as the enumeration of the number of nonzero coefficients of $f$ or of the number of coefficients equal to $\alpha\in K^*$. For instance, if $K=\ff_q$…
We introduce new polynomial invariants of a finite-dimensional semisimple and cosemisimple Hopf algebra A over a field by using the braiding structures of A. We investigate basic properties of the polynomial invariants including stability…
In this short note we prove a couple of facts about polynomial count varieties, answering natural questions that they raise. A polynomial count $X$ variety is essentially one for which its number of points over finite fields is given by a…
We present novel algorithms to factor polynomials over a finite field $\F_q$ of odd characteristic using rank $2$ Drinfeld modules with complex multiplication. The main idea is to compute a lift of the Hasse invariant (modulo the polynomial…
We describe a very general abstract form of sieve based on a large sieve inequality which generalizes both the classical sieve inequality of Montgomery (and its higher-dimensional variants), and our recent sieve for Frobenius over function…
We estimate the average of any arithmetic function $k$ over the values of any smooth polynomial in many variables provided only that $k$ has a distribution in arithmetic progressions of fixed modulus. We give several applications of this…
We study the distribution of abelian extensions of bounded discriminant of a number field $k$ which fail the Hasse norm principle. For example, we classify those finite abelian groups $G$ for which a positive proportion of $G$-extensions of…
We investigate the Hasse principle for complete intersections cut out by a quadric and cubic hypersurface defined over the rational numbers.
The existence of rational points on Kummer varieties associated to 2-coverings of abelian varieties over number fields can sometimes be proved through the variation of the Selmer group in the family of quadratic twists of the underlying…
We investigate the Hasse principles for isotropy and isometry of quadratic forms over finitely generated field extensions with respect to various sets of discrete valuations. Over purely transcendental field extensions of fields that…
In this paper, we show the Hasse principle for the character group of a finitely generated field over the rational number field. By applying this result, we obtain an algebraic proof of unramified class field theory of arithmetical schemes.
We develop several notions of multiplicity for linear factors of multivariable polynomials over different arithmetics (hyperfields). The key example is multiplicities over the hyperfield of signs, which encapsulates the arithmetic of…
The large sieve is used to estimate the density of integral quadratic polynomials $Q$, such that there exists an odd degree integral polynomial which has resultant $\pm 1$ with $Q$. Given a monic integral polynomial $R$ of odd degree, this…
We study the problem of representing multivariate polynomials with rational coefficients, which are nonnegative and strictly positive on finite semialgebraic sets, using rational sums of squares. We focus on the case of finite semialgebraic…
We use tools of additive combinatorics for the study of subvarieties defined by {\it high rank} families of polynomials in high dimensional $\mathbb{F} _q$-vector spaces. In the first, analytic part of the paper we prove a number properties…
The Hasse principle in number theory states that information about integral solutions to Diophantine equations can be pieced together from real solutions and solutions modulo prime powers. We show that the Hasse principle holds for…
