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 consider an algebraic variety and its foliation, both defined over a number field. We prove upper bounds for the geometric complexity of the intersection between a leaf of the foliation and a subvariety of complementary dimension (also…

We determine the smoothed counts of $S_4$-quartic fields with bounded discriminant, satisfying any finite specified set of local conditions, as the sum of two main terms with a power saving error term. We also prove an analogous result for…

Let $\Sigma$ be a hyperbolic surface. We study the set of curves on $\Sigma$ of a given type, i.e. in the mapping class group orbit of some fixed but otherwise arbitrary $\gamma_0$. For example, in the particular case that $\Sigma$ is a…

We study a natural question in the Iwasawa theory of algebraic curves of genus $>1$. Fix a prime number $p$. Let $X$ be a smooth, projective, geometrically irreducible curve defined over a number field $K$ of genus $g>1$, such that the…

Let $B$ be a compact Riemann surface and $B_0\subset B$ a bordered hyperbolic subsurface obtained by removing finitely many disjoint closed disks. Fix a nontrivial loop $\alpha$ in $B_0$. For $s\ge 0$, let $L(\alpha,s)$ denote the supremum,…

We prove the geometric Bombieri-Lang conjecture for projective varieties which have finite maps to abelian varieties over function fields of characteristic 0. This generalizes the recent results of Xie-Yuan, which require either the…

This is a survey on recent results on counting of curves over finite fields. It reviews various results on the maximum number of points on a curve of genus g over a finite field of cardinality q, but the main emphasis is on results on the…

We study the bounded negativity conjecture for non-quaternionic Hilbert modular surfaces and give an explicit bound for the special case of Hirzebruch-Zagier curves on Hilbert modular surfaces.

We prove an upper bound for the number of rational points of bounded height on irreducible affine hypersurfaces. More precisely, given an irreducible polynomial $f \in \mathbb{Z}[X_1, \dots, X_n]$, we prove an upper bound on the number of…

We study a particular plane curve over a finite field whose normalization is of genus 0. The number of rational points of this curve achieves the Aubry-Perret bound for rational curves. The configuration of its rational points and a…

We study the arithmetic (geometric) progressions in the $x$-coordinates of quadratic points on smooth projective planar curves defined over a number field $k$. Unless the curve is hyperelliptic, we prove that these progressions must be…

We study rational points on the elliptic surface given by the equation: $$y^2 = x^3 + AxQ(u,v)^2 + BQ(u,v)^3,$$ where $A,B\in \mathbb{Z}$ satisfy that $4A^3-27B^2\neq 0$ and $Q(u,v)$ is a positive-definite quadratic form. We prove…

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…

In this note we give a theoretical support by means of quotient polynomial rings for the computation formulas of the dimension of abelian codes.

We continue the development of methods for enumerating nodal curves on smooth complex surfaces, stressing the range of validity. We illustrate the new methods in three important examples. First, for up to eight nodes, we confirm…

We present an accelerated Schoof-type point-counting algorithm for curves of genus 2 equipped with an efficiently computable real multiplication endomorphism. Our new algorithm reduces the complexity of genus 2 point counting over a finite…

We use class field theory to search for curves with many rational points over small finite fields. By going through abelian covers of curves of small genus we find a number of new curves. In particular, we settle the question of how many…

Let $K$ be a global field of positive characteristic. We give an asymptotic formula for the number of $K$-points of bounded height on the Hilbert scheme $\text{Hilb}^2\mathbb{P}^2$ and show that by eliminating an exceptional thin set, the…

We introduce a three-dimensional random point field using the concept of the quaternion determinant. Orthogonal polynomials on the space of pure quaternions are defined, and used to construct a kernel function similar to the Ginibre kernel.…
