We classify the possible torsion structures of rational elliptic curves over sextic number fields.
In this note, we connect the $n$-torsions of the Picard group of an elliptic surface to the $n$-divisibility of the class group of torsion fields for a given integer $n>1$. We also connect the $n$-divisibility of the Selmer group to that of…
We explicitly compute the limiting gap distribution for slopes of saddle connections on the flat surface associated to the regular octagon with opposite sides identified. This is the first such computation where the Veech group of the…
Goulden, Jackson and Vakil observed a polynomial structure underlying one-part double Hurwitz numbers, which enumerate branched covers of $\mathbb{CP}^1$ with prescribed ramification profile over $\infty$, a unique preimage over 0, and…
An arithmetical structure on a graph is given by a labeling of the vertices which satisfies certain divisibility properties. In this note, we look at several families of graphs and attempt to give counts on the number of arithmetical…
We construct rational elliptic surfaces of index two by explicitly constructing their associated Halphen pencils in the projective plane $\mathbb{P}^2$. For each of the types of singular fibers that occur we construct at least one example…
This is a computational study of bottlenecks on algebraic varieties. The bottlenecks of a smooth variety $X \subseteq \mathbb{C}^n$ are the lines in $\mathbb{C}^n$ which are normal to $X$ at two distinct points. The main result is a…
For any positive integer $r$, we construct a smooth complex projective rational surface which has at least $r$ real forms not isomorphic over $\mathbb{R}$.
We consider a smooth system of two homogeneous quadratic equations over the rationals in at least 13 variables. In this case, the Hasse principle is known to hold, thanks to the work of Mordell in 1959. The only local obstruction is over…
Given an elliptic surface $\mathcal{E}\to\mathcal{C}$ over a field $k$ of characteristic zero equipped with zero section $O$ and another section $P$ of infinite order, we give a simple and explicit upper bound on the number of points where…
We generalize the lemmas of Thomas Kretschmer to arbitrary number fields, and apply them with a 2-descent argument to obtain bounds for families of elliptic curves over certain imaginary quadratic number fields with class number 1. One such…
In the present article, we consider Algebraic Geometry codes on some rational surfaces. The estimate of the minimum distance is translated into a point counting problem on plane curves. This problem is solved by applying the upper bound…
This paper is concerned with configurations of points in a plane lattice which determine angles that are rational multiples of $\pi$. We shall study how many such angles may appear in a given lattice and in which positions, allowing the…
It is still a challenging task of today to recognize the type of a given algebraic surface which is described only by its implicit representation. In~this paper we will investigate in more detail the case of canal surfaces that are often…
Let $\mathcal S=\{s_1<s_2<s_3<\ldots\}$ be the sequence of all natural numbers which can be represented as a sum of two squares of integers. For $X\ge2$ we denote by $g(X)$ the largest gap between consecutive elements of $\mathcal S$ that…
We study a correspondence between numerical sets and integer partitions that leads to a bijection between simultaneous core partitions and the integer points of a certain polytope. We use this correspondence to prove combinatorial results…
Let $X$ be a quadratic vector field with a center whose generic orbits are algebraic curves of genus one. To each $X$ we associate an elliptic surface (a smooth complex compact surface which is a genus one fibration). We give the list of…
We consider the number of visible lattice points under the assumption of the Extended Lindel\"{o}f Hypothesis. We get a relation between visible lattice points and the Extended Lindel\"{o}f Hypothesis. And we also get a relation between…
In this article, we study the jumping numbers of an ideal in the local ring at rational singularity on a complex algebraic surface. By understanding the contributions of reduced divisors on a fixed resolution, we are able to present an…
In Digital Geometry, gaps are some basic portion of a digital object that a discrete ray can cross without intersecting any voxel of the object itself. Such a notion is quite important in combinatorial image analysis and it is strictly…
