We present some results about the number of rational points on a certain family of curves defined over a finite field. In a small number of cases the curves have more rational points than expected. Fibonacci numbers make an appearance, as…

There are thirteen types of singular points for irreducible real quartic curves and seventeen types of singular points for reducible real quartic curves. This classification is originally due to D.A. Gudkov. There are nine types of singular…

A curve over a field k is pointless if it has no k-rational points. We show that there exist pointless genus-3 hyperelliptic curves over a finite field F_q if and only if q < 26, that there exist pointless smooth plane quartics over F_q if…

In this paper we give a different proof of Kuz'min's result on the number of irreducible polynomials with the first two coefficients fixed. Our technique is to relate the question to the number of points on a curve, and to calculate the…

In this survey, we discuss the problem of the maximum number of points of curves of genus 1,2 and 3 over finite fields

In this paper, we prove abundance for non-uniruled 3-folds with non-trivial Albanese maps, over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > 5$. As an application we get a characterization of abelian 3-folds.

We construct 3-manifolds which have at least two inequivalent embeddings such that both complementary regions have abelian fundamental group.

We show how to construct unramified qoaternion extensions of quadratic number fields.

Every smooth cubic plane curve has 9 inflection points, 27 sextatic points, and 72 ``points of type nine". Motivated by these classical algebro-geometric constructions, we study the following topological question: Is it possible to…

We consider linear groups which do not contain unipotent elements of infinite order, which includes all linear groups in positive characteristic, and show that this class of groups has good properties which resemble those held by groups of…

For any quadratic extension $L/K$ of number fields, we prove that there are infinitely many elliptic curves $E$ over $K$ so that the abelian groups $E(K)$ and $E(L)$ both have rank $1$. In particular, there are infinitely many elliptic…

Let $K$ be a number field and $K_{ur}$ be the maximal extension of $K$ that is unramified at all places. In a previous article, the first author found three real quadratic fields $K$ such that $Gal(K_{ur}/K)$ is finite and nonabelian simple…

We study the collection of group structures that can be realized as a group of rational points on an elliptic curve over a finite field (such groups are well known to be of rank at most two). We also study various subsets of this collection…

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…

A classical theorem of Siegel asserts that the set of S-integral points of an algebraic curve C over a number field is finite unless C has genus 0 and at most two points at infinity. In this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions…

When a complex Abelian surface can be decomposed into a product of two elliptic curves, how many decompositions does the Abelian surface admit ? We provide arithmetic formulae for the number of decompositions of a complex Abelian surface.

Let $X$ be an algebraic variety, defined over the rationals. This paper gives upper bounds for the number of rational points on $X$, with height at most $B$, for the case in which $X$ is a curve or a surface. In the latter case one excludes…

We give some bounds on the numbers of rational points on abelian varieties and jacobians varieties over finite fields. The main result is that we determine the maximum and minimum number of rational points on jacobians varieties of…

We prove that the facial nonrepetitive chromatic number of any outerplanar graph is at most 11 and of any planar graph is at most 22.

We prove that a finite group acting by birational automorphisms of a non-trivial Severi-Brauer surface over a field of characteristic zero contains a normal abelian subgroup of index at most 3. Also, we find an explicit bound for orders of…
