It is well-known that a Severi-Brauer surface has a rational point if and only if it is isomorphic to the projective plane. Given a Severi-Brauer surface, we study the problem to decide whether such an isomorphism to the projective plane,…
We show how to build models of Synthetic Algebraic Geometry over rings k such that finitely presented k-algebra have a decidable equality. The construction is done in a constructive and weak (same proof theoretic strength as dependent type…
Roquette proved Amitsur's conjecture for Severi-Brauer varieties associated with cyclic algebras using algebraic methods. We present a geometric proof of Roquette's result, providing simple and explicit birational isomorphisms.
Fix a number field k. We prove that if there is an algorithm for deciding whether a smooth projective geometrically integral k-variety has a k-point, then there is an algorithm for deciding whether an arbitrary k-variety has a k-point and…
We prove the rationality of a $\k$-form $X$ of the product $S$ of projective spaces provided the existence of a $\k$-point on $X$. The method of the proof is to find a Galois-invariant birational projection of $S$ to the projective space.…
The aim of this paper is to investigate the birational geometry of Generalized Severi-Brauer varieties. A conjecture of Amitsur states that two Severi-Brauer varieties $V(A)$ and $V(B)$ are birational if the underlying central simple…
It is possible to talk about the \'etale homotopy equivalence of rational points on algebraic varieties by using a relative version of the \'etale homotopy type. We show that over $p$-adic fields rational points are homotopy equivalent in…
By a theorem of Chevalley the image of a morphism of varieties is a constructible set. The algebraic version of this fact is usually stated as a result on "extension of specializations" or "lifting of prime ideals". We present a difference…
An analogue of Serre's theorem is established for finite dimensional simple Lie superalgebras, which describes presentations in terms of Chevalley generators and Serre type relations relative to all possible choices of Borel subalgebras.…
We use Beltrami's theorem as an excuse to present some arguments from parabolic differential geometry without any of the parabolic machinery.
We establish algebraicity criteria for formal germs of curves in algebraic varieties over number fields and apply them to derive a rationality criterion for formal germs of functions, which extends the classical rationality theorems of…
In this paper we show that if two central simple $k$-algebras generate the same cyclic subgroup in $\mathrm{Br}(k)$, then there are rational maps between varieties associated to these algebras, such as Brauer--Severi varieties, norm…
Synthetic algebraic geometry uses homotopy type theory extended with three axioms to develop algebraic geometry internal to a higher version of the Zariski topos. In this article we make no essential use of the higher structure and use…
We consider higher-dimensional analogues of the classical Brauer-Siegel theorem focusing on the case of abelian varieties over global function fields. We prove such an analogue in the case of constant families of elliptic curves and abelian…
Motivated by problems arising in the relative trace formula and arithmetic invariant theory we prove the existence of rational points on orbits arising from certain infinitesimal symmetric spaces. As an application, we prove analogous…
Recently continuous rational maps between real algebraic varieties have attracted the attention of several researchers. In this paper we continue the investigation of approximation properties of continuous rational maps with values in…
A conjecture of Amitsur states that two Severi-Brauer varieties are birationally isomorphic if and only if the underlying algebras are the same degree and generate the same cyclic subgroup of the Brauer group. It is known that generating…
Proofs of the fundamental theorem of algebra can be divided up into three groups according to the techniques involved: proofs that rely on real or complex analysis, algebraic proofs, and topological proofs. Algebraic proofs make use of the…
We show that a quotient of a non-trivial Severi-Brauer surface $S$ over arbitrary field $\Bbbk$ of characteristic $0$ by a finite group $G \subset \operatorname{Aut}(S)$ is $\Bbbk$-rational, if and only if $|G|$ is divisible by $3$.…
We present a rectilinearization theorem for p-adic semi-algebraic sets depending on parameters. As an application of our main theorem we present an alternative proof of a rationality result for parametric p-adic inte- grals, due to Denef.
