We obtain explicit formulas for the number of non-isomorphic elliptic curves with a given group structure (considered as an abstract abelian group). Moreover, we give explicit formulas for the number of distinct group structures of all…

I describe three geometric approaches to resolving variants of P v. NP, present several results that illustrate the role of group actions in complexity theory, and make a first step towards completely geometric definitions of complexity…

We show NP-completeness for several planar variants of the monotone satisfiability problem with bounded variable appearances. With one exception the presented variants have an associated bipartite graph where the vertex degree is bounded by…

We consider moduli spaces of plane quartics marked with various structures such as Cayley octads, Aronhold heptads, Steiner complexes and G\"opel subsets and determine their cohomology. This answers a series of questions of Jesse Wolfson.…

A simultaneous arithmetic progression (s.a.p.) of length k consists of k points (x_i, y_\sigma(i)), where x_i and y_i are arithmetic progressions and \sigma is a permutation. Garcia-Selfa and Tornero asked whether there is a bound on the…

In this note we discuss some arithmetic and geometric questions concerning self maps of projective algebraic varieties.

The survey is devoted to associative $\Z_{\ge0}$-graded algebras presented by n generators and n(n-1)/2 quadratic relations and satisfying the so-called Poincare-Birkhoff-Witt condition (PBW-algebras). We consider examples of such algebras…

For a given family of similar shapes, what we call a "unit shape" strongly analogizes the role of the unit circle within the family of all circles. Within many such families of similar shapes, we present what we believe is naturally and…

In this work, we investigate the continuity of the free boundary in a class of elliptic problems, with Neuman boundary condition. The main idea is a change of variable that allows us to reduce the problem to the one studied in [14].

We present a generalized notion of degree for rotating solutions of planar systems. We prove a formula for the relation of such degree with the classical use of Brouwer's degree and obtain a twist theorem for the existence of periodic…

We study a class models of correlated random networks in which vertices are characterized by \textit{hidden variables} controlling the establishment of edges between pairs of vertices. We find analytical expressions for the main topological…

Let $l$ and $p$ be two distinct prime numbers. We study $l$-isogeny graphs of ordinary elliptic curves defined over a finite field of characteristic $p$, together with a level structure. Firstly, we show that as the level varies over all…

We produce explicit elliptic curves over \Bbb F_p(t) whose Mordell-Weil groups have arbitrarily large rank. Our method is to prove the conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer for these curves (or rather the Tate conjecture for related…

In this paper, we consider a family of twists of a superelliptic curve over a global field, and obtain results on the distribution of the Mordell-Weil rank of these twists. Our results have applications to the distribution of the number of…

We use homotopy theoretic methods to prove congruence relations of number theoretic interest. Specifically, we use the theory of $\mathbb E_\infty$ complex orientations to establish $p$-adic K\"ummer congruences among iterated derivatives…

The purpose of this article is to define and study new invariants of topological spaces: the $p$-adic Betti numbers and the $p$-adic torsion. These invariants take values in the $p$-adic numbers and are constructed from a virtual pro-$p$…

In this article we prove lower and upper bounds for class numbers of algebraic curves defined over finite fields. These bounds turn out to be better than most of the previously known bounds obtained using combinatorics. The methods used in…

We push further the classical proof of Weil upper bound for the number of rational points of an absolutely irreducible smooth projective curve $X$ over a finite field in term of euclidean relationships between the Neron Severi classes in…

We prove a level raising mod $\ell=2$ theorem for elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$. It generalizes theorems of Ribet and Diamond-Taylor and also explains different sign phenomena compared to odd $\ell$. We use it to study the 2-Selmer…

Let $\ell$ and $p$ be prime numbers and $K_{n,m}=\mathbb{Q}(p^{\frac{1}{\ell^n}},\zeta_{2\ell^{m}})$. We study the $\ell$-class group of $K_{n,m}$ in this paper. When $\ell=2$, we determine the structure of the $2$-class group of $K_{n,m}$…
