The Zilber-Pink conjecture predicts that an algebraic curve in $\mathcal{A}_2$ has only finitely many intersections with the special curves, unless it is contained in a proper special subvariety. Under a large Galois orbits hypothesis, we…

Suppose E_1, E_2 are elliptic curves (over the complex numbers) together with standard double coverings of the projective line identifying a point and its inverse on E_i. Bogomolov, Fu and Tschinkel have asked if the number of common images…

We derive two finiteness properties as consequences of the geometrical non-degeneracy of an algebraic subvariety $W$ of a power of the multiplicative group, concerning the intersections of $W$ with translates of a subtorus $H$ of dimension…

Let E --> C be an elliptic surface defined over a number field K. For each finite covering C' --> C defined over K, let E' --> C' be the pullback. We give a strong upper bound for the rank of E'(C'/K) in the case that C' --> C is an…

We study Severi curves parametrizing rational bisections of elliptic fibrations associated to general pencils of plane cubics. Our main results show that these Severi curves are connected and reduced, and we give an upper bound on their…

We consider the question: which elliptic curves appear as the Jacobian of a smooth curve of genus one splitting a Severi--Brauer variety? We provide three new examples. First, we show that if $E$ is any elliptic curve over an algebraically…

Let C be a curve of genus at least 2 imbedded in a product of elliptic curves. We give an explicit upper bound for the points in the intersection of C with the union of all algebraic subgroups of a certain codimension. As a corollary we…

Fix an abelian variety $A_0$ and a non-isotrivial abelian scheme over a smooth irreducible curve, both defined over the algebraic numbers. Consider the union of all images of translates of a fixed finite-rank subgroup of $A_0$, also defined…

In this paper, we study tame Galois coverings of semistable models that arise from torsion points on elliptic curves. These coverings induce Galois morphisms of intersection graphs and we express the decomposition groups of the edges in…

We construct pairs of elliptic curves over number fields with large intersection of projective torsion points.

We give an exponential upper and a quadratic lower bound on the number of pairwise non-isotopic simple closed curves can be placed on a closed surface of genus g such that any two of the curves intersects at most once. Although the gap is…

Recently, Lehmann, Sengupta, and Tanimoto proposed a conjectural construction of the exceptional set in Manin's Conjecture, which we call the geometric exceptional set. We construct a del Pezzo surface of degree $1$ whose geometric…

The goal of this very short note is to give a new proof of Faber's formula for the socle intersection numbers in the tautological ring of $\mathcal{M}_g$. This new proof exhibits a new beautiful tautological relation that stems from the…

We introduce an operation that measures the self intersections of paths on a surface. As applications, we give a criterion of the realizability of a generalized Dehn twist, and derive a geometric constraint on the image of the Johnson…

We prove a symmetric version of B\'ezout's theorem. More precisely, we show that the symmetric orbit type of a transverse intersection of complex symmetric hypersurfaces in projective space is determined by the degrees. In the projective…

We study the intersection of two particular Fermat hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{P}^3$ over a finite field. Using the Kani-Rosen decomposition we study arithmetic properties of this curve in terms of its quotients. Explicit computation of the…

This note contains an elementary discussion of the Arakelov intersection theory of elliptic curves. The main new results are a projection formula for elliptic arithmetic surfaces and a formula for the "energy" of an isogeny between Riemann…

Given asymptotic counts in number theory, a question of Venkatesh asks what is the topological nature of lower order terms. We consider the arithmetic aspect of the inertia stack of an algebraic stack over finite fields to partially answer…

Edoukou, Ling and Xing in 2010, conjectured that in \mathbb{P}^n(\mathbb{F}_{q^2}), n \geq 3, the maximum number of common points of a non-degenerate Hermitian variety \mathcal{U}_n and a hypersurface of degree d is achieved only when the…

Let $S$ be a hyperbolic oriented Riemann surface of finite type. The main purpose of this paper is to show that non-trivial geometric intersection between closed curves on $S$ is detected by some symplectic submodules they naturally…
