Consider a polynomial vector field $\xi$ in $\mathbb{C}^n$ with algebraic coefficients, and $K$ a compact piece of a trajectory. Let $N(K,d)$ denote the maximal number of isolated intersections between $K$ and an algebraic hypersurface of…
If $\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_r$ are algebraic numbers such that $$N=\sum_{i=1}^r\alpha_i \ne \sum_{i=1}^r\alpha_i^{-1}$$ for some integer $N$, then a theorem of Beukers and Zagier gives the best possible lower bound on $$\sum_{i=1}^r\log…
Using the circle method, we count integer points on complete intersections in biprojective space in boxes of different side length, provided the number of variables is large enough depending on the degree of the defining equations and…
In $\mathbb{R}^n$, we establish an asymptotically sharp upper bound for the upper Minkowski dimension of $k$-porous sets having holes of certain size near every point in $k$ orthogonal directions at all small scales. This bound tends to…
We prove a uniform version of the Dynamical Mordell-Lang Conjecture for \'etale maps; also, we obtain a gap result for the growth rate of heights of points in an orbit along an arbitrary endomorphism of a quasiprojective variety defined…
We prove an asymptotic formula as $x\to +\infty$ for the number of algebraic integers $\alpha$ belonging to a fixed CM number field and satisfying $\alpha\overline{\alpha}\leq x$. This problem is related to the height zeta function…
We prove the existence of a gap around zero for canonical height functions associated to endomorphisms of projective spaces defined over complex function fields. We also prove that if the rational points of height zero are Zariski dense,…
A conjecture of Batyrev and Manin predicts the asymptotic behaviour of rational points of bounded height on smooth projective varieties over number fields. We prove some new cases of this conjecture for conic bundle surfaces equipped with…
Given a set of endomorphisms on $\mathbb{P}^N$, we establish an upper bound on the number of points of bounded height in the associated monoid orbits. Moreover, we give a more refined estimate with an associated lower bound when the monoid…
We study measures defined on effect algebras. We characterize real-valued measures on effect algebras and find a class of effect algebras, that include the natural effect algebras of sets, on which sigma-additive measures with values in a…
We prove a new Bertini-type Theorem with explicit control of the genus, degree, height, and the field of definition of the constructed curve. As a consequence we provide a general strategy to reduce certain height and rank estimates on…
Let $V$ be a valuation domain of rank one with quotient field $K$. We study the set of extensions of $V$ to the field of rational functions $K(X)$ induced by pseudo-convergent sequences of $K$ from a topological point of view, endowing this…
The continuous logic of globally valued fields -- A globally valued field is a field endowed with a family of absolute values that satisfy a product formula. Number fields and function fields in one variable give classical and fundamental…
1 : We use properties of the Stern Sequence for numerical computations of moments $\int^1_0 t^n d?(t)$ associated to Minkowski's Question Mark function.
Let $V\subset\R^m$ be a centrally symmetric convex body and let $V^*\subset\R^m$ be its polar. We prove limit relations between the sharp constants in the multivariate Markov-Bernstein-Nikolskii type inequalities for algebraic polynomials…
Let E be a modular elliptic curve defined over a rational function field k of odd characteristic. We construct a sequence of Heegner points on E, defined over a $Z_p^{\infty}$-tower of finite extensions of k, and show that these Heegner…
A set of algebraic numbers has the Northcott property if each of its subsets of bounded Weil height is finite. Northcott's Theorem, which has many Diophantine applications, states that sets of bounded degree have the Northcott property.…
We establish quantitative topological and singularity properties for (certain) prescribed mean curvature (PMC) hypersurfaces $V^n$ in Riemannian manifolds $(N^{n+1},h)$. Indeed, if $V$ has area at most $A>0$ with PMC given by a…
The rational points of a smooth curve $X$ over a number field $k$ map to the set of augmentations of the associated motivic algebra. An expectation, related to Kim's conjecture, is that for $X$ hyperbolic, the set of augmentations which…
Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero and let $K=k(t)$ be the rational function field over $k$. In this paper we combine a formula of Ulmer for ranks of certain Jacobians over $K$ with strong upper bounds on endomorphisms of Jacobians…
