We prove finiteness results for sets of varieties over number fields with good reduction outside a given finite set of places using cyclic covers. We obtain a version of the Shafarevich conjecture for weighted projective surfaces, double…

Let $X$ be a scheme over a field $K$ and let $M_X$ be the intersection of all subfields $L$ of $\bar K$ such that $X$ has a $L$-valued point. In this note we prove that for a variety $X$ over a field $K$ finitely generated over its prime…

For a given conic bundle X over a curve C defined over F_q, we count irreducible branch covers of C in X of degree d and height e>>1. As a special case, we get the number of algebraic numbers of degree d and height e over the function field…

Let $K$ be a totally real number field, $d$ a positive integer, and $Q$ a higher degree form over $K$. We prove that there are at most finitely many totally real extensions $L/K$ of degree $d$ such that $Q$ over $L$ is universal. Further,…

A classical theorem by K. Ribet asserts that an abelian variety defined over the maximal cyclotomic extension $K$ of a number field has only finitely many torsion points. We show that this statement can be viewed as a particular case of a…

We show that any stack $\mathfrak{X}$ of finite type over a Noetherian scheme has a presentation $X \rightarrow \mathfrak{X}$ by a scheme of finite type such that $X(F) \rightarrow \mathfrak{X}(F)$ is onto, for every finite or real closed…

Let $(X, \Delta)$ be a projective klt three dimensional pair defined over an algebraically closed field characteristic larger than 5. Let $L$ be a nef and big line bundle on $X$ such that $L-K_X-\Delta$ is big and nef. We show that $L$ is…

We give three examples of fields concerning the Northcott property on elements of small height: The first one has the Northcott property but its Galois closure does not satisfy the Bogomolov property. The second one has the Northcott…

In this paper, we consider Abelian varieties over function fields that arise as twists of Abelian varieties by cyclic covers of irreducible quasi-projective varieties. Then, in terms of Prym varieties associated to the cyclic covers, we…

In this article we study the endomorphism algebras of abelian varieties $A$ defined over a given number field $K$ with large cyclic 2-torsion fields. A key step in doing so is to provide criteria for all the endomorphisms of $A$ to be…

We prove that a set $A$ of at most $q$ non-collinear points in the finite plane $\mathbb{F}_{q}^{2}$ spans at least $\approx\frac{|A|}{\sqrt{q}}$ directions: this is based on a lower bound contained in [FST13], which we prove again together…

We study integral points on varieties with infinite \'etale fundamental groups. More precisely, for a number field $F$ and $X/F$ a smooth projective variety, we prove that for any geometrically Galois cover $\varphi\colon Y \to X$ of degree…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a plane singular curve defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. The linear system of plane curves of a given degree passing through the singularities of $\cF$ provides potentially good bounds for the number of points…

We derive several existence results concerning cycle types and, more generally, the "mapping behavior" of complete mappings. Our focus is on so-called first-order cyclotomic mappings, which are functions on a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$…

A subfield $K$ of $\bar{\mathbb{Q}}$ is $large$ if every smooth curve $C$ over $K$ with a rational point has infinitely many rational points. A subfield $K$ of $\bar{\mathbb{Q}}$ is $big$ if for every positive integer $n$, $K$ contains a…

We construct and study fields F with the property that F has infinitely many extensions of some fixed degree, but E*/(E*)^n is finite for every finite extension E of F and every n>0.

Given asymptotic counts in number theory, a question of Venkatesh asks what is the topological nature of lower order terms. We consider the arithmetic aspect of the inertia stack of an algebraic stack over finite fields to partially answer…

The paper has three main applications. The first one is this Hilbert-Grunwald statement. If $f:X\rightarrow \Pp^1$ is a degree $n$ $\Qq$-cover with monodromy group $S_n$ over $\bar\Qq$, and finitely many suitably big primes $p$ are given…

Let $X$ be a smooth variety over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Let $\ell$ be a rational prime number invertible in $\mathbb{F}_q$. For an $\ell$-adic sheaf $\mathcal{F}$ on $X$, we construct a cycle supported on the singular support of…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic and let $X$ be an irreducible projective variety over $K$. Let $G\subseteq\text{Bir}(X)$ be a bounded-degree subgroup. We prove that there exists an irreducible projective…
