We investigate the injectivity of the Frobenius map on thickenings of smooth varieties in projective space over a field of positive characteristic. We obtain uniform bounds -- i.e., independent of the characteristic -- on the thickening…
The purpose of this paper is to prove a local p-adic monodromy theorem for ordinary abelian surfaces and K3 surfaces with bad reduction in characteristic p. As an application, we get a finiteness result for the reduction of their Hecke…
We estimate the $L^2$ norm of the restriction to a totally geodesic submanifold of the eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on the standard flat torus $\mathbb{T}^d$, $d\ge2$. We reduce getting correct bounds to counting lattice…
Natural objects can be subject to various transformations yet still preserve properties that we refer to as invariants. Here, we use definitions of affine invariant arclength for surfaces in R^3 in order to extend the set of existing…
We extend work of Heath-Brown and Salberger, based on the determinant method, to provide a uniform upper bound for the number of integral points of bounded height on an affine surface, which are subject to a polynomial congruence condition.…
The classical Theorem of Mumford states that a topologically regular complex algebraic surface in $\mathbb{C}^3$ with an isolated singular point is smooth. We proof that any Lipschitz regular complex algebraic set is smooth. No restriction…
We study symmetric affine surfaces which have non-vanishing torsion tensor. We give a complete classification of the local geometries possible if the torsion is assumed parallel. This generalizes a previous result of Opozda in the torsion…
The Stein--Tomas restriction theorem is an important result in Fourier restriction theory. It gives a range of $q$ for which $L^q\to L^2$ restriction estimates hold for a given measure, in terms of the Fourier and Frostman dimensions of the…
We prove sharp local smoothing estimates for curve averages in all dimensions. As a corollary, we prove the sharp $L^p$ boundedness of the helical maximal operator in $\mathbb{R}^4$, which was previously known only for $\mathbb{R}^2$ and…
Several general mixed affine surface areas are introduced. We prove some important properties, such as, affine invariance, for these general mixed affine surface areas. We also establish new Alexandrov-Fenchel type inequalities,…
We study the boundary of an affine invariant submanifold of a stratum of translation surfaces in a partial compactification consisting of all finite area Abelian differentials over nodal Riemann surfaces, modulo zero area components. The…
An $L^2$ Fourier restriction argument of Bak and Seeger is abstracted to the setting of locally compact abelian groups. This is used to prove new restriction estimates for varieties lying in modules over local fields or rings of integers…
We use the "closed point sieve" to prove a variant of a Bertini theorem over finite fields. Specifically, given a smooth quasi-projective subscheme X of P^n of dimension m over F_q, and a closed subscheme Z in P^n such that Z intersect X is…
We introduce f-divergence, a concept from information theory and statistics, for convex bodies in R^n. We prove that f-divergences are SL(n) invariant valuations and we establish an affine isoperimetric inequality for these quantities. We…
We prove that affine invariant manifolds in strata of flat surfaces are algebraic varieties. The result is deduced from a generalization of a theorem of M\"oller. Namely, we prove that the image of a certain twisted Abel-Jacobi map lands in…
For a compact differentiable surface with boundary embedded in $\Bbb R^3$, we give simple proofs of the Gauss-Bonnet theorem, Poincar\'{e}-Hopf theorem, and several other integral formulas. We complete all of the proofs without using…
We study the geometry of the smooth projective surfaces that are defined by Frobenius forms, a class of homogenous polynomials in prime characteristic recently shown to have minimal possible F-pure threshold among forms of the same degree.…
For $ 1\le k <n$, we prove that for functions $F,G$ on $ {\Bbb R}^{n}$, any $k$-dimensional affine subspace $H \subset {\Bbb R}^{n}$, and $p,q,r \ge 2$ with $\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}+\frac{1}{r}=1$, one has the estimate $$…
Let f: Y -> CP^2 be a birational morphism of non-singular (rational) surfaces. We give an effective (necessary and sufficient) criterion for algebraicity of the surfaces resulting from contraction of the union of the strict transform of a…
We prove moment inequalities for exponential sums with respect to singular measures, whose Fourier decay matches those of curved hypersurfaces. Our emphasis will be on proving estimates that are sharp with respect to the scale parameter…
