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…

We prove effective Pila--Wilkie estimates for the number of rational points of bounded height lying on certain surfaces defined by Pfaffian functions. The class of surfaces to which our result applies includes, for instance, graphs of…

We classify completely the surfaces of general type whose canonical map is 3-to-1 onto a surface of minimal degree in projective space. These surfaces fall into 5 distinct classes and we give explicit examples belonging to each of these…

We prove matching upper and lower bounds for the average of the 6-torsion of class groups of quadratic fields. Furthermore, we count the number of integer solutions on an affine quartic threefold.

Motivated by the study of the growth rate of the number of geodesics in flat surfaces with bounded lengths, we study generalizations of such problems for K3 surfaces. In one generalization, we give a result regarding the upper bound on the…

The numbers of $\mathbb{F}_q$-points of nonsingular hypersurfaces of a fixed degree in an odd-dimensional projective space are investigated, and an upper bound for them is given. Also we give the complete list of nonsingular hypersurfaces…

We characterise integral points of bounded log-anticanonical height on a quartic del Pezzo surface of singularity type $\mathbf{A}_3$ over imaginary quadratic fields with respect to its singularity and its lines. Furthermore, we count these…

A formula that relates triple points, branch points, and their distances from infinity is presented. We recover trivial normal Euler classes for oriented surfaces, and formulas on signed triple points.

Let $A$ be a non-isotrivial almost ordinary abelian surface with possibly bad reductions over a global function field of odd characteristic $p$. Suppose $\Delta$ is an infinite set of positive integers, such that…

In this work we present new results to produce an algorithm that returns, for any fixed pair of natural integers $K^2$ and $\chi$, all regular surfaces $S$ of general type with self-intersection $K_S^2=K^2$ and Euler characteristic…

We give a description of the category of ordinary K3 surfaces over a finite field in terms of linear algebra data over Z. This gives an analogue for K3 surfaces of Deligne's description of the category of ordinary abelian varieties over a…

We extend work of Heath-Brown and Salberger, based on the determinant method, to provide a uniform upper bound for the number of integral points of bounded height on an affine surface, which are subject to a polynomial congruence condition.…

We combine classical Vinberg's algorithms with the lattice-theoretic/arithmetic approach from arXiv:1706.05734 [math.AG] to give a method of classifying large line configurations on complex quasi-polarized K3-surfaces. We apply our method…

Let $X$ be an algebraic variety, defined over the rationals. This paper gives upper bounds for the number of rational points on $X$, with height at most $B$, for the case in which $X$ is a curve or a surface. In the latter case one excludes…

Previous work of the authors showed that every quartic del Pezzo surface over a number field has index dividing $2$ (i.e., has a closed point of degree $2$ modulo $4$),, and asked whether such surfaces always have a closed point of degree…

We present a direct and fairly simple proof of the following incidence bound: Let $P$ be a set of $m$ points and $L$ a set of $n$ lines in ${\mathbb R}^d$, for $d\ge 3$, which lie in a common algebraic two-dimensional surface of degree $D$…

We construct a family of general type surfaces with $q=4$, $p_g=6$ and $K^2=24$. These surfaces enjoy some interesting properties: they are Lagrangian in their Albanese variety and their canonical map is $2:1$ onto a degree $12$ surface in…

For each integer $D\ge3$, we give a sharp bound on the number of lines contained in a smooth complex $2D$-polarized $K3$-surface in $\mathbb{P}^{D+1}$. In the two most interesting cases of sextics in $\mathbb{P}^4$ and octics in…

We improve a bound due to the second author on number of rational points on smooth surfaces in $\mathbb{P}^3$ over finite fields and look at families of surfaces that achieve or nearly achieve this bound, for which we compute their exact…

Given a complete non-compact surface embedded in R^3, we consider the Dirichlet Laplacian in a layer of constant width about the surface. Using an intrinsic approach to the layer geometry, we generalise the spectral results of an original…
