We consider regular endomorphisms of the complex affine space with a degree gap $k$. They are endomorphisms $f$ of $\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{C}}^{N}$ of the form…

Several recent papers construct auxiliary polynomials to bound the Weil height of certain classes of algebraic numbers from below. Following these techniques, the author gave a general method for introducing auxiliary polynomials to…

Let $k$ be a number field, let $\theta$ be a nonzero algebraic number, and let $H(\cdot)$ be the Weil height on the algebraic numbers. In response to a question by T. Loher and D. W. Masser, we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of…

We define an "ample canonical height" for an endomorphism on a projective variety, which is essentially a generalization of the canonical heights for polarized endomorphisms introduced by Call--Silverman. We formulate a dynamical analogue…

We consider the set of points in projective $n$-space that generate an extension of degree $e$ over given number field $k$, and deduce an asymptotic formula for the number of such points of absolute height at most $X$, as $X$ tends to…

A Kloosterman refinement for function fields $K=\mathbb{F}_q(t)$ is developed and used to establish the quantitative arithmetic of the set of rational points on a smooth complete intersection of two quadrics $X\subset \mathbb{P}^{n-1}_{K}$…

We study the asymptotic growth of coefficients of Mahler power series with algebraic coefficients, as measured by their logarithmic Weil height. We show that there are five different growth behaviors, all of which being reached. Thus, there…

Let $k$ be a number field and $K$ a finite extension of $k$. We count points of bounded height in projective space over the field $K$ generating the extension $K/k$. As the height gets large we derive asymptotic estimates with a…

Let $L$ be a simply-connected simple connected algebraic group over a number field $F$, and $H$ be a semisimple absolutely maximal connected $F$-subgroup of $L$. Under a cohomological condition, we prove an asymptotic formula for the number…

Asymptotics are given for the number of rational points in the domain of a morphism of weighted projective stacks whose images have bounded height and satisfy a (possibly infinite) set of local conditions. As a consequence we obtain results…

Using Weil descent, we give bounds for the number of rational points on two families of curves over finite fields with a large abelian group of automorphisms: Artin-Schreier curves of the form $y^q-y=f(x)$ with $f\in\Fqr[x]$, on which the…

In this note we give exact formulas (and asymptotics) for the number of rational points of bounded height on weighted projective stacks over global function fields.

Let $f \in Q(z)$ be a polynomial or rational function of degree 2. A special case of Morton and Silverman's Dynamical Uniform Boundedness Conjecture states that the number of rational preperiodic points of $f$ is bounded above by an…

In this article, we study Lehmer-type bounds for the N\'eron-Tate height of $\bar{K}$-points on abelian varieties $A$ over number fields $K$. Then, we estimate the number of $K$-rational points on $A$ with N\'eron-Tate height $\leq \log B$…

In this paper, we establish some finiteness results about the multiplicative dependence of rational values modulo sets which are `close' (with respect to the Weil height) to division groups of finitely generated multiplicative groups of a…

Let $F : \mathrm{End}_{\mathbb{F_p}}(\mathbb{G}_{a/K}^d)$ be an additive polynomial mapping over a global function field $K/\mathbb{F}_q$, and let $P \in \mathbb{G}_a^d(K)$. Following Silverman, consider $\delta := \lim_{n \in \mathbb{N}}…

Let $K$ be a number field and $S$ a finite set of places of $K$ that contains all of the archimedean places. Let $\varphi: \mathbb{P}^1 \to \mathbb{P}^1$ be a rational map of degree $d \geq 2$ defined over $K$. Given $\alpha \in…

Given a totally real number field $F$, we show that there are only finitely many totally real extensions of $K$ of a fixed degree that admit a universal quadratic form defined over $F$. We further obtain several explicit classification…

Let $f \colon X \dashrightarrow X$ be a dominant rational self-map of a smooth projective variety defined over $\overline{\mathbb Q}$. For each point $P\in X(\overline{\mathbb Q})$ whose forward $f$-orbit is well-defined, Silverman…

In this paper, we study properties of Weil height functions associated with numerically trivial divisors. It helps us to define the fractional limit of $h_E$ with respect to $h_D$ on $U$, with $D$ ample: \[ \Flim_D(E,U) :=…
