Numerical ranges over a certain family of finite fields were classified in 2016 by a team including our fifth author. Soon afterward, in 2017 Ballico generalized these results to all finite fields and published some new results about the…
In recent algorithms that use deformation in order to compute the number of points on varieties over a finite field, certain differential equations of matrices over p-adic fields emerge. We present a novel strategy to solve this kind of…

We define the adelic hypergeometric function of special Gaussian type by means of a tower of hypergeometric curves. This function takes values in an adelic completed group ring and interpolates all the hypergeometric functions of the same…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve described by either an Edwards model or a twisted Edwards model over $\mathbb{F}_p$, namely, $E$ is defined by one of the following equations $x^2+y^2=a^2(1+x^2y^2),\, a^5-a\not\equiv 0$ mod $p$, or,…
The two most commonly used hypergeometric functions are the confluent hypergeometric function and the Gauss hypergeometric function. We review the available techniques for accurate, fast, and reliable computation of these two hypergeometric…

We show how the size of the Galois groups of iterates of a quadratic polynomial $f(x)$ can be parametrized by certain rational points on the curves $C_n:y^2=f^n(x)$ and their quadratic twists. To that end, we study the arithmetic of such…
We study a generating function for the sum over fatgraphs with specified valences of vertices and faces, inversely weighted by the order of their symmetry group. A compact expression is found for general (i.e. non necessarily connected)…
We exhibit an explicit formula for the cardinality of solutions to a class of quadratic matrix equations over finite fields. We prove that the orbits of these solutions under the natural conjugation action of the general linear groups can…
For any number field $K$ and integer $0\leq r \leq 4$, we prove that there are infinitely many elliptic curves over $K$ of rank $r$. Our elliptic curves are obtained by specializing well-chosen nonisotrivial elliptic curves over the…
