We initiate a study of varieties of minimal degree in weighted projective spaces. We call a weighted projective space $\mathbf{P}(w_0,\dots,w_n)$ divisible if $w_i \mid w_{i+1}$ for all $i$. We provide sharp bounds for when a non-degenerate…
We prove the Manin--Peyre equidistribution principle for smooth projective split toric varieties over the rational numbers. That is, rational points of bounded anticanonical height outside of the boundary divisors are equidistributed with…
We study the multi-height distribution of rational points of smooth, projective and split toric varieties over $\mathbf{Q}$ using the lift of the number of points to universal torsors.
This paper studies projections of uniform random elements of (co)adjoint orbits of compact Lie groups. Such projections generalize several widely studied ensembles in random matrix theory, including the randomized Horn's problem, the…
A weighted pointed curve consists of a nodal curve and a sequence of marked smooth points, each assigned a number between zero and one. A subset of the marked points may coincide if the sum of the corresponding weights is no greater than…
We establish an asymptotic formula for the number of points of bounded height on a singular hypersurface of the triprojective space. We will see that the final result is in accordance with Batyrev-Manin conjecture. The method used is a…
Determining the weight distributions of the projective Reed-Muller codes is a very hard problem and has been studied extensively in the literature. In this article, we provide an alternative proof of the second weight of the projective…
Manin's conjecture predicts the asymptotic behavior of the number of rational points of bounded height on algebraic varieties. For toric varieties, it was proved by Batyrev and Tschinkel via height zeta functions and an application of the…
We study the density of rational points on a higher-dimensional orbifold $(\mathbb{P}^{n-1},D)$ when $D$ is a $\mathbb{Q}$-divisor involving hyperplanes. This allows us to address a question of Tanimoto about whether the set of rational…
Over an algebraically closed field, the $\textit{double point interpolation}$ problem asks for the vector space dimension of the projective hypersurfaces of degree $d$ singular at a given set of points. After being open for 90 years, a…
In this note we address the relation between symbolic and ordinary powers of the ideal of a reduced set or points in projective space: the so-called containment problem. In particular, we obtain sharp lower bounds on the Waldschmidt…
Geodesic metric spaces support a variety of averaging constructions for given finite sets. Computing such averages has generated extensive interest in diverse disciplines. Here we consider the inverse problem of recognizing computationally…
Estimation of Markov Random Field and covariance models from high-dimensional data represents a canonical problem that has received a lot of attention in the literature. A key assumption, widely employed, is that of {\em sparsity} of the…
We consider the geometric problem of determining the maximum number $n_q(r,h,f;s)$ of $(h-1)$-spaces in the projective space $\operatorname{PG}(r-1,q)$ such that each subspace of codimension $f$ does contain at most $s$ elements. In coding…
We investigated the asymptotics of high-rate constrained quantization errors for a compactly supported probability measure P on Euclidean spaces whose quantizers are confined to a closed set S. The key tool is the metric projection of K…
We define weighted projective Reed-Muller codes over a subset of weighted projective space over a finite field. We focus on the case when the set X is a projective weighted torus. We show that the vanishing ideal of X is a lattice ideal and…
We demonstrate the Batyrev-Manin Conjecture for the number of points of bounded height on hypersurfaces of some toric varieties.. The method used is inspired by the one developed by Schindler for the study the case of hypersurfaces of…
Let $k$ be a number field, let $X$ be a Kummer variety over $k$, and let $\delta$ be an odd integer. In the spirit of a result by Yongqi Liang, we relate the arithmetic of rational points over finite extensions of $k$ to that of zero-cycles…
We consider a random walk on a homogeneous space $G/\Lambda$ where $G$ is a non-compact simple Lie group and $\Lambda$ is a lattice. The walk is driven by a probability measure $\mu$ on $G$ whose support generates a Zariski-dense subgroup.…
We describe a practical algorithm for computing Brauer-Manin obstructions to the existence of rational points on hyperelliptic curves defined over number fields. This offers advantages over descent based methods in that its correctness does…
