We prove that, when all elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ are ordered by naive height, a positive proportion have both algebraic and analytic rank one. It follows that the average rank and the average analytic rank of elliptic curves are…

In this paper we establish existence, nonexitence and regularity of positive solutions for a class of singular quasilinear elliptic systems subject to (super-) homogeneous condition. The approach is based on sub-supersolution methods for…

In the present paper, we study a new kind of anabelian phenomenon concerning the smooth pointed stable curves in positive characteristic. It shows that the topological structures of moduli spaces of curves can be understood from the…

We establish an inequality involving colengths of the tight closure of ideals of systems of parameters in local rings with some mild conditions. As an application, we prove and refine a result by Goto and Nakamura, conjectured by Watanabe…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be an analytically un-ramified Noetherian local ring of dimension $d \geq 1$, $I$ a regular $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal of $A$ and let $\overline{I}$ be integral closure ideal of $I$. If $A$ is of characteristic $p >…

This paper is concerned with the tight closure of an ideal $I$ in a commutative Noetherian ring $R$ of prime characteristic $p$. The formal definition requires, on the face of things, an infinite number of checks to determine whether or not…

In this paper, we consider graded near-rings over a monoid $G$ as a generalizations of graded rings over groups. We introduce certain innovative graded prime ideals and study some of its basic properties over graded near-rings.

Over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, we prove that the generic initial ideal with respect to the degree reverse lexicographic term order of a general rational or elliptic curve on quadrics is almost revlex. Following…

We prove a characterization of F-rationality in terms of tight closure of products of parameter ideals. Our results are inspired by the theory of complete ideals for surfaces and, in particular, the fundamental results of Lipman-Teissier…

Given two finite covers $p: X \to S$ and $q: Y \to S$ of a connected, oriented, closed surface $S$ of genus at least $2$, we attempt to characterize the equivalence of $p$ and $q$ in terms of which curves lift to simple curves. Using…

In this survey article, we summarise the known results towards the conjecture: elliptic curves over totally real number fields are modular. For understanding these recent results in the literature, we present some necessary background along…

We introduce a new variant of tight closure associated to any fixed ideal $\a$, which we call $\a$-tight closure, and study various properties thereof. In our theory, the annihilator ideal $\tau(\a)$ of all $\a$-tight closure relations,…

We present a constructive method to devise boundary conditions for solutions of second-order elliptic equations so that these solutions satisfy specific qualitative properties such as: (i) the norm of the gradient of one solution is bounded…

We are interested in the quantity $\rho$(q, g) defined as the smallest positive integer such that r $\ge$ $\rho$(q, g) implies that any absolutely irreducible smooth projective algebraic curve defined over F q of genus g has a closed point…

Let R be an integral domain and I a nonzero ideal of R. A sub-ideal J of I is a t-reduction of I if (JI^{n})_{t}=(I^{n+1})_{t} for some positive integer n. An element x in R is t-integral over I if there is an equation x^{n} + a_{1}x^{n-1}…

For $E/K$ an elliptic curve without complex multiplication we bound the index of the image of $\operatorname{Gal}(\bar{K}/K)$ in $\operatorname{GL}_2(\hat{\mathbb{Z}})$, the representation being given by the action on the Tate modules of…

We look at spaces of infinite-by-infinite matrices, and consider closed subsets that are stable under simultaneous row and column operations. We prove that up to symmetry, any of these closed subsets is defined by finitely many equations.

By definition, an $\m$-primary ideal $I$ in a 2-dimensional regular local ring $(R, \m)$ is contracted if $I=R \cap IR[\m/x]$ for some $x \in \m \setminus \m^2$. Contracted ideals have been introduced by Zariski and used for proving the…
