Relations among fundamental invariants play an important role in algebraic geometry. It is known that an $n$-dimensional variety of general type with nef canonical divisor and canonical singularities, whose image $Y$ under the canonical map…
Let A be the jacobian variety of a hyperelliptic curve defined over a number field k. We provide a decomposition formula for the Faltings height of A and for the N\'eron-Tate height of k-rational points on A. We formulate a question of…
This is an introduction to the topics of the title, from the 2017 Grenoble Summer school on Arakelov geometry and arithmetic applications. We review Arithmetic intersection numbers, explain the definition of the height of a variety and its…
We prove a generalized version of Schmidt's subspace theorem for closed subschemes in general position in terms of suitably defined Seshadri constants with respect to a fixed ample divisor. Our proof builds on previous work by Evertse and…
Let $K$ be a number field, $\overline{\mathbb Q}$, or the field of rational functions on a smooth projective curve over a perfect field, and let $V$ be a subspace of $K^N$, $N \geq 2$. Let $Z_K$ be a union of varieties defined over $K$ such…
Following the development of weighted asymptotic approximation properties of matrices, we introduce the analogous uniform approximation properties (that is, study the improvability of Dirichlet's Theorem). An added feature is the use of…
We study properties of Diophantine exponents of lattices and so-called related "weak" uniform approximations introduced in recent papers by Oleg German, in the simplest two-dimensional case. In contrast to the multidimensional case, in the…
In this paper we prove new explicit formulas for Faltings' $\delta$-invariant of an arbitrary hyperelliptic Riemann surface. This has several applications: For example we obtain an explicit lower bound for $\delta$ depending only on the…
Following Schmidt, Thurnheer and Bugeaud-Kristensen, we study how Dirichlet's theorem on linear forms needs to be modified when one requires that the vectors of coefficients of the linear forms make a bounded acute angle with respect to a…
We establish a new upper bound for the number of rationals up to a given height in a missing-digit set, making progress towards a conjecture of Broderick, Fishman, and Reich. This enables us to make novel progress towards another conjecture…
The number of lattice points in $d$-dimensional hyperbolic or elliptic shells $\{m : a<Q[m]<b\}$, which are restricted to rescaled and growing domains $r\;\Omega$, is approximated by the volume. An effective error bound of order…
Simultaneous Diophantine approximation is concerned with the approximation of a point $\mathbf x\in\mathbb R^d$ by points $\mathbf r\in\mathbb Q^d$, with a view towards jointly minimizing the quantities $\|\mathbf x - \mathbf r\|$ and…
This paper is concerned with the study of diagonal Diophantine inequalities of fractional degree $ \theta ,$ where $ \theta >2$ is real and non-integral. For fixed non-zero real numbers $ \lambda_i $ not all of the same sign we write…
At the end of the twentieth century, J.-B. Bost developped a slope theory of hermitian vector bundles over number fields. A new method of diophantine approximation, the so-called slope method, has emerged from his research. Our article…
We study the asymptotic growth of the number of rational points of bounded height on smooth projective split toric varieties with Picard rank 2 over number fields, with respect to Arakelov height functions associated with big metrized line…
We exploit dynamical properties of diagonal actions to derive results in Diophantine approximations. In particular, we prove that the continued fraction expansion of almost any point on the middle third Cantor set (with respect to the…
In this paper, we study inhomogeneous Diophantine approximation over the completion $K_v$ of a global function field $K$ (over a finite field) for a discrete valuation $v$, with affine algebra $R_v$. We obtain an effective upper bound for…
We define a notion of height for rational points with respect to a vector bundle on a proper algebraic stack with finite diagonal over a global field, which generalizes the usual notion for rational points on projective varieties. We…
Generalized complex geometry, as developed by Hitchin, contains complex and symplectic geometry as its extremal special cases. In this thesis, we explore novel phenomena exhibited by this geometry, such as the natural action of a B-field.…
We establish a new version of Siegel's lemma over a number field $k$, providing a bound on the maximum of heights of basis vectors of a subspace of $k^N$, $N \geq 2$. In addition to the small-height property, the basis vectors we obtain…
