We show that there is a bound depending only on g and [K:Q] for the number of K-rational points on a hyperelliptic curve C of genus g over a number field K such that the Mordell-Weil rank r of its Jacobian is at most g-3. If K = Q, an…

A nonlinear generalisation of Schrodinger's equation had previously been obtained using information-theoretic arguments. The nonlinearities in that equation were of a nonpolynomial form, equivalent to the occurence of higher-derivative…

We prove the uniform boundedness of all solutions for a general class of Dirichlet anisotropic elliptic problems of the form $$-\Delta_{\overrightarrow{p}}u+\Phi_0(u,\nabla u)=\Psi(u,\nabla u) +f $$ on a bounded open subset $\Omega\subset…

We prove the existence of infinitely many classical periodic solutions for a class of semilinear wave equations with periodic boundary conditions. Our argument relies on some new estimates for the linear problem with periodic boundary…

We prove that arboreal Galois extensions of number fields are never abelian for post-critically finite rational maps and non-preperiodic base points. For polynomials, this establishes a new class of known cases of a conjecture of…

Let $B$ be a fixed rational function of one complex variable of degree at least two. In this paper, we study solutions of the functional equation $A\circ X=X\circ B$ in rational functions $A$ and $X$. Our main result states that, unless $B$…

We show that for any set A in a finite Abelian group G that has at least c |A|^3 solutions to a_1 + a_2 = a_3 + a_4, where a_i belong A there exist sets A' in A and L in G, |L| \ll c^{-1} log |A| such that A' is contained in Span of L and…

In 1826 Abel started the study of the polynomial Pell equation $x^2-g(u)y^2=1$. Its solvability in polynomials $x(u), y(u)$ depends on a certain torsion point on the Jacobian of the hyperelliptic curve $v^2=g(u)$. In this paper we study the…

In 1923 Schur considered the following problem. Let f(X) be a polynomial with integer coefficients that induces a bijection on the residue fields Z/pZ for infinitely many primes p. His conjecture, that such polynomials are compositions of…

Let $p$ be an odd natural number $\ge 3$. Inspired by results from Euclid's {\em Elements}, we express the irrational $$y=\sqrt[p]{d+\sqrt R}, $$ whose degree is $2p$, as a polynomial function of irrationals of degrees $\le p$. In certain…

We show how the techniques of Voevodsky's proof of the Milnor conjecture and the Voevodsky- Rost proof of its generalization the Bloch-Kato conjecture can be used to study counterexamples to the classical L\"uroth problem. By generalizing a…

Under natural hypotheses we give an upper bound on the dimension of families of singular curves with hyperelliptic normalizations on a surface S with p_g(S) >0 via the study of the associated families of rational curves in Hilb^2(S). We use…

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…

Let K be any field and G be a finite group. We will prove that, if K is any field, p an odd prime number, and G is a non-abelian group of exponent p with |G|=p^3 or p^4 satisfying [K(\zeta_p):K] <= 2, then K(G) is rational over K. We will…

We study non-variational degenerate elliptic equations with high order singular structures. No boundary data are imposed and singularities occur along an {\it a priori} unknown interior region. We prove that positive solutions have a…
