We show that very general hypersurfaces in odd-dimensional simplicial projective toric varieties verifying a certain combinatorial property satisfy the Hodge conjecture (these include projective spaces). This gives a connection between the…

We present an heuristic argument for the prediction of expected Mordell-Weil rank of elliptic curves over number fields, using Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer's original conjecture and Sato-Tate conjectures. We do calculations in some cases and…

By introducing a new point of view in Algebraic Topology relating elliptic curves in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and suitable bordism groups, the congruent number problem is solved showing that the Tunnell's theorem is also sufficient. This could be…

We investigate geometric properties of surfaces given by certain formulae. In particular, we calculate the singular curvature and the limiting normal curvature of such surfaces along the set of singular points consisting of singular points…

Let $X$ be a quadratic vector field with a center whose generic orbits are algebraic curves of genus one. To each $X$ we associate an elliptic surface (a smooth complex compact surface which is a genus one fibration). We give the list of…

Given a field with a set of discrete valuations $V$, we show how the genus of a division algebra over the field is related to the genus of the residue algebras at various valuations in $V$ and the ramification data. When the division…

We determine the limiting distribution of the normalized Euler factors of an abelian surface A defined over a number field k when A is isogenous to the square of an elliptic curve defined over k with complex multiplication. As an…

We study genus 2 covers of relative elliptic curves over an arbitrary base in which 2 is invertible. Particular emphasis lies on the case that the covering degree is 2. We show that the data in the "basic construction" of genus 2 covers of…

We consider generalizations of Szpiro's classical discriminant conjecture to hyperelliptic curves over a number field $K$, and to smooth, projective and geometrically connected curves $X$ over $K$ of genus at least one. The main results…

Let $A$ be an abelian variety over a field finitely generated over $\mathbb{Q}$. We show that the finiteness of the $\ell$-primary torsion subgroup of the higher Brauer group is a sufficient criterion for the Tate conjecture to hold.…

The singly periodic genus-one helicoid was in the origin of the discovery of the first example of a complete minimal surface with finite topology but infinite total curvature, the celebrated Hoffman-Karcher-Wei's genus one helicoid. The…

We use the Brill-Noether theory to prove the Green conjecture for exceptional curves on K3 surfaces. Such curves count among the few ones having Clifford dimension at least three. We obtain our result by adopting an infinitesimal approach…

In genus two and higher, the fundamental group of a closed surface acts naturally on the curve complex of the surface with one puncture. Combining ideas from previous work of Kent--Leininger--Schleimer and Mitra, we construct a universal…

We argue that for a smooth surface S, considered as a ramified cover over the projective plane branched over a nodal-cuspidal curve B one could use the structure of the fundamental group of the complement of the branch curve to understand…

We prove the regularity conjecture, namely Eisenbud-Goto conjecture, for a normal surface with rational, Gorenstein elliptic and log canonical singularities. Along the way, we bound the regularity for a dimension zero scheme by its Loewy…

The Frey--Mazur conjecture states that an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ is determined up to isogeny by its $p$-torsion Galois representation for $p\geq 17$. We study a geometric analog of this conjecture, and show that the map from…

Let A be an abelian variety over a number field K. An identity between the L-functions L(A/K_i,s) for extensions K_i of K induces a conjectural relation between the Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer quotients. We prove these relations modulo finiteness…

We give a finite presentation of the mapping class group of an oriented (possibly bounded) surface of genus greater or equal than 1, considering Dehn twists on a very simple set of curves.

In the classical case of irreducible smooth algebraic curves every genus $2$ curve is hyperelliptic, or in other words there is a complete linear series $g_2^1$ on them. On the other hand if $g > 2$, then a generic smooth curve of genus $2$…

For an abelian variety $A$ over a finitely generated field $K$ of characteristic $p > 0$, we prove that the algebraic rank of $A$ is at most a suitably defined analytic rank. Moreover, we prove that equality, i.e., the BSD rank conjecture,…
