We give a method of counting the number of curves with a given type of singularity in a suitably ample linear series on a smooth surface using punctual Hilbert schemes. The types of singulaties for which our methods suffice include the…

We prove an asymptotic formula for the number of rational points of bounded height on projective equivariant compactifications of $H\G$, where $H$ is a connected simple algebraic group embedded diagonally into $G := H^n$.

We give defining equations for function fields over finite fields with many rational places. They are obtained from composita of quadratic extensions of the rational function field.

We give an elementary proof of a recent result by Fishman, Kleinbock, Merrill and Simmons about rational points on quadratic surfaces.

In the presence of a positive, compactly supported measure on an affine algebraic curve, we relate the density of polynomials in Lebesgue $L^2$-space to the existence of analytic bounded point evaluations. Analogues to the complex plane…

We give explicit and asymptotic lower bounds for the quantity $|e^{s/t}-M/N|$ by studying a generalized continued fraction expansion of $e^{s/t}$. In cases $|s|\geq 3$ we improve existing results by extracting a large common factor from the…

We describe an algorithm for computing a $\Q$-rational model for the quotient of a modular curve by an automorphism group, under mild assumptions on the curve and the automorphisms, by determining $q$-expansions for a basis of the…

We show that transcendental curves in $\mathbb R^n$ (not necessarily compact) have few rational points of bounded height provided that the curves are well behaved with respect to algebraic sets in a certain sense and can be parametrized by…

The number A(q) is the upper limit of the ratio of the maximum number of points of a curve defined over $\Fq$ to the genus. By constructing class field towers with good parameters we present improvements of lower bounds of A(q) for q an odd…

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 $\mathcal{F}$ 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 study the number of representations of an integer n=F(x_1,...,x_s) by a homogeneous form in sufficiently many variables. This is a classical problem in number theory to which the circle method has been succesfully applied to give an…

We present an algorithm for computing curves and families of curves of prescribed degree and geometric genus on real rational surfaces.

A general type of ray class fields of global function fields is investigated. The systematic computation of their genera leads to new examples of curves over finite fields with comparatively many rational points.

This note concerns the theoretical algorithmic problem of counting rational points on curves over finite fields. It explicates how the algorithmic scheme introduced by Schoof and generalized by the author yields an algorithm whose running…

We establish sharp lower and upper bounds for the number of integral points near dilations of a space curve with nowhere vanishing torsion.

We exhibit planar, rational curves of large degree over ${\mathbb F}_2$ that have a unique singular point, which has multiplicity 2. In characteristic 0 such curves exist only for degrees up to $6$. v.2: references updated and examples of…

We prove the convergence case of Khintchine's theorem, with general approximation functions that are not necessarily monotonic, for analytic nonplanar manifolds over local fields of positive characteristic. Our approach is based on the…

We consider intersections of n diagonal forms of degrees k 1 < $\bullet$ $\bullet$ $\bullet$ < kn, and we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of rational points of bounded height on these varieties. The proof uses the…

In this paper we consider the curves $H_{k,t}^{(p)} : y^{p^k}+y=x^{p^{kt}+1}$ over $\mathbb F_p$ and and find an exact formula for the number of $\mathbb F_{p^n}$-rational points on $H_{k,t}^{(p)}$ for all integers $n\ge 1$. We also give…
