Label the vertices of the complete graph $K_v$ with the integers $\{ 0, 1, \ldots, v-1 \}$ and define the length of the edge between $x$ and $y$ to be $\min( |x-y| , v - |x-y| )$. Let $L$ be a multiset of size $v-1$ with underlying set…
Towards the Lang--Vojta conjecture, we prove results on finiteness and Zariski degeneracy of $S$-integral points of varieties over number fields $k$, including many cases with geometrically irreducible boundary divisors. Our approach builds…
Let $X$ be a $d$-dimensional Gaussian process in $[0,1]$, where the component are independent copies of a scalar Gaussian process $X_0$ on $[0,1]$ with a given general variance function $\gamma^2(r)=\operatorname{Var}\left(X_0(r)\right)$…
Let $Hilb ^{p(t)}(P^n)$ be the Hilbert scheme of closed subschemes of $P^n$ with Hilbert polynomial $p(t) \in Q[t]$, and let $W:= \overline{W(\underline{b};\underline{a};r)}$ be the closure of the locus in $Hilb ^{p(t)}(P^n)$ of…
We complete the study of points of bounded height on irreducible non-normal cubic surfaces by doing the point count on the cubic surface $W$ given by $t_0^2 t_2 = t_1^2 t_3$ over any number field. We show that the order of growth agrees…
We show that, assuming Vojta's height conjecture, the height of a rational point on an algebraically hyperbolic variety can be bounded "uniformly" in families. This generalizes a result of Su-Ion Ih for curves of genus at least two to…
We show that the conditions imposed on a second order linear differential equation with rational coefficients on the complex line by requiring it to have regular singularities with fixed exponents at the points of a finite set $P$ and…
We study over a number field, the iterates of automorphisms of the affine space. More precisely, we are interested in the periodic and non-periodic points; for the former the questions are similar to the ones about torsion points on abelian…
We prove a uniform version of the Dynamical Mordell-Lang Conjecture for \'etale maps; also, we obtain a gap result for the growth rate of heights of points in an orbit along an arbitrary endomorphism of a quasiprojective variety defined…
We classify codimension two analytic submanifolds X of projective space having the property that any line through a general point p having contact to order two with X at p automatically has contact to order three. We give applications to…
Often in the analysis of first-order methods, assuming the existence of a quadratic growth bound (a generalization of strong convexity) facilitates much stronger convergence analysis. Hence the analysis is done twice, once for the general…
We improve certain degree bounds for Grobner bases of polynomial ideals in generic position. We work exclusively in deterministically verifiable and achievable generic positions of a combinatorial nature, namely either strongly stable…
Classical Castelnuovo Lemma shows that the number of linearly independent quadratic equations of a nondegenerate irreducible projective variety of codimension $c$ is at most ${{c+1} \choose {2}}$ and the equality is attained if and only if…
The ring of invariant polynomials ${\mathbb C}[V]^G$ over a given finite dimensional representation space $V$ of a complex reductive group $G$ is known, by a famous theorem of Hilbert, to be finitely generated. The general proof being…
In this short survey, we explain Parshin's proof of the geometric Bombieri-Lang conjecture, and show that it can be used to give an alternative proof of Xie-Yuan's recent resolution of the geometric Bombieri-Lang conjecture for projective…
We develop a new general method for computing the decomposition type of the normal bundle to a projective rational curve. This method is then used to detect and explain an example of a Hilbert scheme that parametrizes all the rational…
We study irreducible subvarieties of the universal hypersurface $\mathcal{X}/B$ of degree $d$ and dimension $n$. We prove that when $d$ is sufficiently large, a degree $kd$ subvariety $Z$ which dominates $B$ comes from intersection with a…
Let G be a semisimple affine algebraic group of inner type over a field F. We write C for the class of all finite direct products of projective G-homogeneous F-varieties. We determine the structure of the Chow motives with coefficients in a…
For every connected, almost simple linear algebraic group $G\leq\mathrm{GL}_{n}$ over a large enough field $K$, every subvariety $V\subseteq G$, and every finite generating set $A\subseteq G(K)$, we prove a general dimensional bound, that…
Thanks to earlier work of Koiran, it is known that the truth of the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH) implies that the dimension of algebraic sets over the complex numbers can be determined within the polynomial-hierarchy. The truth of…
