Using the theory of Diophantine m-tuples, i.e. sets with the property that the product of its any two distinct elements increased by 1 is a perfect square, we construct an elliptic curve over Q(t) of rank at least 4 with three non-trivial…

We continue the study of prime simple modules for quantum affine algebras from the perspective of $q$-fatorization graphs. In this paper we establish several properties related to simple modules whose $q$-factorization graphs are afforded…

Given a real hyperelliptic algebraic curve $X$ with non-empty real part and a real effective divisor $\mc{D}$ arising via pullback from $\mathbb{P}^1$ under the hyperelliptic structure map, we study the real inflection points of the…

We consider the question of which quadratic fields have elliptic curves with everywhere good reduction. By revisiting work of Setzer, we expand on congruence conditions that determine the real and imaginary quadratic fields with elliptic…

For the integer $ D=pq$ of the product of two distinct odd primes, we construct an elliptic curve $E_{2rD}:y^2=x^3-2rDx$ over $\mathbb Q$, where $r$ is a parameter dependent on the classes of $p$ and $q$ modulo 8, and show, under the parity…

In this paper I demonstrate that any pair (m, n) of non-zero and distinct rational numbers may have, at most, four representations as the product of two rational factors such that the sum of factors of m coincides with the sum of factors of…

We establish direct evidence of the arithmetic significance of plectic Stark-Heegner points for elliptic curves of arbitrarily large rank. The main contribution is a proof of the algebraicity of plectic points associated to polyquadratic CM…

If $C$ is a curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ with genus at least $2$ and $C(\mathbb{Q})$ is empty, then the class of fields $K$ of characteristic 0 such that $C(K) = \varnothing$ has a model companion, which we call $C\mathrm{XF}$. The theory…

We show that the prime divisors in every class on a projective curve over a finite field contain arbitrary large truncated generalized classes of finite effective divisors.

The main result of this paper is to extend from $\Q$ to each of the nine imaginary quadratic fields of class number one a result of Serre (1987) and Mestre-Oesterl\'e (1989), namely that if $E$ is an elliptic curve of prime conductor then…

Let $E/\bbq$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\bbq$ with conductor $N$ and $\gq$ the absolute Galois group of an algebraic closure $\bar{\bbq}$ of $\bbq$. We prove that for every $\sigma\in \gq$, the Mordell-Weil group $E(\oqs)$ of $E$…

We prove a Curve Selection Lemma valid in infinite-dimensional algebraic geometry and apply it, together with a structure theorem of Grinberg-Kahzdan and Drinfeld, to obtain a Curve Selection Lemma in arc spaces.

In this paper, we establish the modularity of every elliptic curve $E/F$, where $F$ runs over infinitely many imaginary quadratic fields, including $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-d})$ for $d=1,2,3,5$. More precisely, let $F$ be imaginary quadratic and…

Let $L=\mathbb F_{q^n}$ be a finite field and let $F=\mathbb F_q$ be a subfield of $L$. Consider $L$ as a vector space over $F$ and the associated projective space that is isomorphic to ${\mathrm{PG}}(n-1,q)$. The properties of the…

We prove that for all integers $k \geq 1$, $q\ge (k-1)^4+ 6k$, and $m \geq 1$, every matrix in $ M_m(\mathbb F_q)$ is a sum of two kth powers: $M_m(\mathbb F_q)=\{A^k+B^k|A,B\in M_m(\mathbb F_q)\}$. We further generalize and refine this…

The purpose of this paper is to show that for a complete intersection curve $C$ in projective space (other than a few stated exceptions), any morphism $f: C \to \mathbb{P}^r$ satisfying $\text{deg}\, f^*\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^r}(1)…

We prove diameter bounds for graphs having positive Ricci-curvature bound in Bakry-Emery sense. One result using only curvature and maximal vertex degree is sharp in case of hypercubes. The other result depends on an additional dimension…

Let $p$ denote the characteristic of ${\mathbb F}_q$, the finite field with $q$ elements. We prove that if $q$ is odd then an arc of size $q+2-t$ in the projective plane over ${\mathbb F}_q$, which is not contained in a conic, is contained…

For $m=2$ and $m=3$ we prove that any connected, oriented, open manifold $M^m$ admits a simple branched covering map over $\mathbb{R}^m$. When $M$ has $k$ ends and $k$ is finite, the degree of the cover can be taken to be $mk$. Regardless…

We prove that a complete multipartite graph $K$ with $n>1$ vertices and $m$ edges can be decomposed into edge-disjoint Hamilton paths if and only if $\frac m{n-1}$ is an integer and the maximum degree of $K$ is at most $\frac {2m}{n-1}$.
