The Zilber-Pink conjecture predicts that an algebraic curve in $\mathcal{A}_2$ has only finitely many intersections with the special curves, unless it is contained in a proper special subvariety. Under a large Galois orbits hypothesis, we…
We show that a reduct of the Zariski structure of an algebraic curve which is not locally modular interprets a field, answering a question of Zilber's.
We establish new bounds on the number of tangencies and orthogonal intersections determined by an arrangement of curves. First, given a set of $n$ algebraic plane curves, we show that there are $O(n^{3/2})$ points where two or more curves…
Consider a Jacobian elliptic surface $E \to C$ with a section $P$ of infinite order. Previous work of the first author and Urz\'ua over the complex numbers gives a bound on the number of tangencies between $P$ and a torsion section of $E$…
Classically, B\'ezout's theorem says that an intersection of hypersurfaces in a projective space is rationally equivalent to a number of copies of a smaller projective space, the number depending on the degrees of the hypersurfaces. We give…
The notion of Zariski pairs for projective curves in $\mathbb P^2$ is known since the pioneer paper of Zariski \cite{Zariski} and for further development, we refer the reference in \cite{Bartolo}.In this paper, we introduce a notion of…
A new class of noncommutative $k$-algebras (for $k$ an algebraically closed field) is defined and shown to contain some important examples of quantum groups. To each such algebra, a first order theory is assigned describing models of a…
We study covers of the multiplicative group of an algebraically closed field as quasiminimal pregeometry structures and prove that they satisfy the axioms for Zariski-like structures presented in \cite{lisuriart}, section 4. These axioms…
We prove that the outer Lipschitz geometry of a germ $(X,0)$ of a normal complex surface singularity determines a large amount of its analytic structure. In particular, it follows that any analytic family of normal surface singularities…
In the current paper we show that the dimension of a family $V$ of irreducible reduced curves in a given ample linear system on a toric surface $S$ over an algebraically closed field is bounded from above by $-K_S.C+p_g(C)-1$, where $C$…
Let $K$ be a field. The \'etale open topology on the $K$-points $V(K)$ of a $K$-variety $V$ was introduced in our previous work. The \'etale open topology is non-discrete if and only if $K$ is large. If $K$ is separably, real, $p$-adically…
Bestvina's notion of a Z-structure provides a general framework for group boundaries that includes Gromov boundaries of hyperbolic groups and visual boundaries of CAT(0) groups as special cases. A refinement, known as an EZ-structure has…
We generalize Iskovskih's theorem about surfaces without irregularity and bigenus from the smooth case to regular surfaces over arbitrary fields, with special focus on the case of imperfect fields. This includes surfaces that are…
In this sequel to arxiv:arXiv:1012.0835 we develop Bezout type theorems for semidegrees (including an explicit formula for {\em iterated semidegrees}) and an inequality for subdegrees. In addition we prove (in case of surfaces) a Bernstein…
A hypersurface is said to be quasihomogeneous if in suitable coordinates with assigned weights, its equation becomes weighted homogeneous in its variables. For an irreducible quasihomogeneous plane curve, the equation necessarily becomes a…
The objective of this paper is to describe the structure of Zariski closed algebras, which provide a useful generalization to finite dimensional algebras in the study of representable algebras over finite fields. Our results include a…
We prove some new degeneracy results for integral points and entire curves on surfaces; in particular, we provide the first example, to our knowledge, of a simply connected smooth variety whose sets of integral points are never…
Inspired by very ampleness of Zariski Geometries, we introduce and study the notion of a very ample family of plane curves in any strongly minimal set, and the corresponding notion of a very ample strongly minimal set (characterized by the…
A classic result by Raynaud and Gruson says that the notion of an (infinite dimensional) vector bundle is Zariski local. This result may be viewed as a particular instance (for n = 0) of the locality of more general notions of…
The Zariski theorem says that for every hypersurface in a complex projective (resp. affine) space of dimension at least 3 and for every generic plane in the projective (resp. affine) space the natural embedding generates an isomorphism of…
