For any positive integer $r$, we construct a smooth complex projective rational surface which has at least $r$ real forms not isomorphic over $\mathbb{R}$.

A theorem of Green says that a line bundle of degree at least $2g+1+p$ on a smooth curve $X$ of genus $g$ has property $N_p$. We prove a similar conclusion for certain singular, reducible curves $X$ under suitable degree bounds over all…

Building on work of Segre and Koll'ar on cubic hypersurfaces, we construct over imperfect fields of characteristic p\geq 3 particular hypersurfaces of degree p, which show that geometrically rational schemes that are regular and whose…

For a dominant rational self-map on a smooth projective variety defined over a number field, Kawaguchi and Silverman conjectured that the (first) dynamical degree is equal to the arithmetic degree at a rational point whose forward orbit is…

We develop analogues of Green's $N_p$-conditions for subvarieties of weighted projective space, and we prove that such $N_p$-conditions are satisfied for high degree embeddings of curves in weighted projective space. A key technical result…

In this note we study rational curves on degree $p^r+1$ Fermat hypersurface in $\PP^{p^r+1}_k$, where $k$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$. The key point is that the presence of Frobenius morphism makes the behavior of…

Let X be a non-singular projective hypersurface of degree 4, which is defined over the rational numbers. Assume that X has dimension 39 or more, and that X contains a real point and p-adic points for every prime p. Then X is shown to…

Let $\mathscr{E}\rightarrow\mathbb{P}^1_\mathbb{Q}$ be a non-trivial rational elliptic surface over $\mathbb{Q}$ with base $\mathbb{P}^1_\mathbb{Q}$ (with a section). We conjecture that any non-trivial elliptic surface has a Zariski-dense…

In this paper we prove the equivalence of two conjectures on linear systems through fat points on a generic K3 surface. The first conjecture is exactly as Segre conjecture on the projective plane. Whereas the second characterizes such…

We characterize property $(N_p)$ on a polarized surface $(X,L)$ with trivial canonical bundle in terms of the (non)existence of certain forbidden subvarieties of $X$.

We classify purely inseparable morphisms of degree $p$ between rational double points (RDPs) in characteristic $p > 0$. Using such morphisms, we refine a result of Artin that any RDP admits a finite smooth covering.

We establish a couple of dynamical properties of surjective rational maps $f: X \dashrightarrow X$ for smooth projective surfaces $X$. We also give a numerical characterization of regular $f$ in the case when $X$ is a del Pezzo surface.…

For a large class of isotrivial rational elliptic surfaces (with section), we show that the set of rational points is dense for the Zariski topology, by carefully studying variations of root numbers among the fibers of these surfaces. We…

We study unirationality of a Del Pezzo surface of degree two over a given (non algebraically closed) field, under the assumption that it admits at least one rational double point over an algebraic closure of the base field. As corollaries…

We prove that every proper subspace of the moduli space of stable surfaces with fixed volume over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>5 is projective. As a consequence we also deduce that the same moduli space is projective…

In this article we we continue the study of property $N_p$ of irrational ruled surfaces begun in \cite{ES}. Let $X$ be a ruled surface over a curve of genus $g \geq 1$ with a minimal section $C_0$ and the numerical invariant $e$. When $X$…

In this paper we study sets of points in the plane with rational distances from r prescribed points P_1, ...,P_r. A crucial case arises for r = 3, where we provide simple necessary and sufficient conditions for the density of this set in…

Let $k$ be an infinite field of characteristic 0, and $X$ a del Pezzo surface of degree $d$ with at least one $k$-rational point. Various methods from algebraic geometry and arithmetic statistics have shown the Zariski density of the set…

We show the existence of a rational surface automorphism of positive entropy with a given number of Siegel disks. Moreover, among automorphisms obtained from quadratic birational maps on the projective plane fixing irreducible cubic curves,…

In this paper we show the lower bound of the set of non-zero $-K^2$ for normal surface singularities establishing that this set has no accumulation points from above. We also prove that every accumulation point from below is a rational…
