Using the sieve for Frobenius, we show that, in a certain sense, the roots of the L-functions of "most" algebraic curves over finite fields do not satisfy any non-trivial (linear or multiplicative) rational dependency relations. This can be…

By using sheaf-theoretical methods such as constructible sheaves, we generalize the formula of Libgober-Sperber concerning the zeta functions of monodromy at infinity of polynomial maps into various directions. In particular, some formulas…

Motivic and topological zeta functions are singularity invariants, mainly associated to a function $f$ and a top differential form $\omega$ on a smooth variety. When $\omega$ is the standard form $dx_1\wedge \dots \wedge dx_n$ on affine…

We describe a very general abstract form of sieve based on a large sieve inequality which generalizes both the classical sieve inequality of Montgomery (and its higher-dimensional variants), and our recent sieve for Frobenius over function…

The zeta function of a curve over a finite field may be expressed in terms of the characteristic polynomial of a unitary symplectic matrix, called the Frobenius class of the curve. We compute the expected value of the trace of the n-th…

Applying E. Kowalski's recent generalization of the large sieve we prove that certain properties expected to be typical (irreducibility of the characteristic polynomial, absence of squares among the matrix coefficients...) are indeed…

We study topological zeta functions of complex plane curve singularities using toric modifications and further developments. As applications of the research method, we prove that the topological zeta function is a topological invariant for…

The Shafarevich conjecture for a class of varieties over a number field posits the finitude of those with good reduction outside a finite set of primes. In the case of hypersurfaces in the torus $\mathbb{G}_m^n$, a natural class to consider…

This paper describes a class of Artin-Schreier curves, generalizing results of Van der Geer and Van der Vlugt to odd characteristic. The automorphism group of these curves contains a large extraspecial group as a subgroup. Precise knowledge…

This article investigates the monodromy conjecture for a space monomial curve that appears as the special fiber of an equisingular family of curves with a plane branch as generic fiber. Roughly speaking, the monodromy conjecture states that…

We introduce and develop a language of semigroups over the braid groups for a study of braid monodromy factorizations (bmf's) of plane algebraic curves and other related objects. As an application we give a new proof of Orevkov's theorem on…

The paper's main result is an effective uniform bound for the finiteness statement of the Shafarevich Conjecture over function fields. Several results on the projective geometry of curves are established in the course of the proof. These…

This paper presents a proof of the monodromy conjecture for determinantal varieties. Our strategy centers on an in-depth analysis of monodromy zeta functions, leveraging a generalized A'Campo formula, an examination of multiple contact…

Working over various graded Lie algebras and in arbitrary dimension, we express scattering diagrams and theta functions in terms of counts of tropical curves/disks, weighted by multiplicities given in terms of iterated Lie brackets. Over…

We compute the Z/\ell and \ell-adic monodromy of every irreducible component of the moduli space M_g^f of curves of genus and and p-rank f. In particular, we prove that the Z/\ell-monodromy of every component of M_g^f is the symplectic…

We study the Galois groups of polynomials arising from a compatible family of representations with big orthogonal monodromy. We show that the Galois groups are usually as large as possible given the constraints imposed on them by a…

We give a quantitative version of a result due to N. Katz about L-functions of elliptic curves over function fields over finite fields. Roughly speaking, Katz's Theorem states that, on average over a suitably chosen algebraic family, the…

Prime counting functions are believed to exhibit, in various contexts, discrepancies beyond what famous equidistribution results predict; this phenomenon is known as Chebyshev's bias. Rubinstein and Sarnak have developed a framework which…

We prove a sharp $L^p$-Sobolev regularity results for a class of generalized Radon transforms for families of curves in a three dimensional manifold, with folding canonical relations. The proof relies on decoupling inequalities by Wolff and…

Motivated by the analogy between number fields and function fields, this paper extends the main result of \cite{janbazi2025unified} to the function field setting. Let $C$ be a smooth affine curve over a finite field, and let $\pi: S…
