Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field, a finite field or a $p$-adic field. Let $K_0=k((x,y))$ be the field of Laurent series in two variables over $k$. We define Tate-Shafarevich groups of a commutative group scheme over $K_0$ via…

We compute the Grothendieck group of certain 2-Calabi--Yau triangulated categories appearing naturally in the study of the link between quiver representations and Fomin--Zelevinsky's cluster algebras. In this setup, we also prove a…

A generalized Tate curve is a universal family of curves with fixed genus and degeneration data which becomes Schottky uniformized Riemann surfaces and Mumford curves by specializing moduli and deformation parameters. By considering each…

We provide a formula for the order of the Tate--Shafarevich group of elliptic curves over dihedral extensions of number fields of order $2n$, up to $4^{th}$ powers and primes dividing $n$. Specifically, for odd $n$ it is equal to the order…

This is an expository article, based on a lecture course given at CRM Barcelona in December 2009. The purpose of these notes is to prove, in a reasonably self-contained way, that finiteness of the Tate-Shafarevich group implies the parity…

Under a non-torsion assumption on Heegner points, results of Kolyvagin describe the structure of Shafarevich-Tate groups of elliptic curves. In this paper we prove analogous results for ($p$-primary) Shafarevich-Tate groups associated with…

Let $k$ be a field, and let $L$ be an \'etale k-algebra of finite rank. If $a$ is a nonzero element in $k$, let $X_a$ be the affine variety defined by the norm equation $N_{L/k}(x) = a$. Assuming that $L$ has at least one factor that is a…

We study Witt groups of smooth curves and surfaces over algebraically closed fields of characteristic not two. In both dimensions, we determine both the classical Witt group and Balmer's shifted Witt groups. In the case of curves, the…

In their book Katz and Mazur discuss the moduli problem of the subgroup-schemes of elliptic curves. We give the classification of the finite subgroups of the Tate curve before. Moreover, Katz and Mazur define the universal finite subgroup…

In this paper, we develop a covering theory for the fractional Brauer configurations and connect it with the coverings of the associated quivers with relations in the sense of Mart\'inez-Villa and de la Pe\~na. Among the results, we show…

The interplay between equivariant stable homotopy theory and spectral algebraic geometry is used to construct a derived Tate curve over $\mathrm{KU}((q))$, a lift of the classical elliptic curve of Tate over $\mathbf{Z}((q))$. Applications…

In this paper we develop techniques for computing the relative Brauer group of curves, focusing particularly on the case where the genus is 1. We use these techniques to show that the relative Brauer group may be infinite (for certain…

We prove that the Brauer group of TMF is isomorphic to the Brauer group of the derived moduli stack of elliptic curves. Then, we compute the local Brauer group, i.e., the subgroup of the Brauer group of elements trivialized by some \'etale…

Given a curve X of the form y^p = h(x) over a number field, one can use descents to obtain explicit bounds on the Mordell-Weil rank of the Jacobian or to prove that the curve has no rational points. We show how, having performed such a…

Let k be a regular F_p-algebra, let A = k[x,y]/(x^b - y^a) be the coordinate ring of a planar cuspical curve, and let I = (x,y) be the ideal that defines the cusp point. We give a formula for the relative K-groups K_q(A,I) in terms of the…
