For a non-constant elliptic surface over $\mathbb{P}^1$ defined over $\mathbb{Q}$, it is a result of Silverman that the Mordell--Weil rank of the fibres is at least the rank of the group of sections, up to finitely many fibres. If the…

We investigate a dynamical basis for the Riemann hypothesis (RH) that the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function lie on the critical line x = 1/2. In the process we graphically explore, in as rich a way as possible, the diversity of…

We examine the sum of modified Bessel functions with argument depending quadratically on the summation index given by \[S_\nu(a)=\sum_{n\geq 1} (\frac{1}{2} an^2)^{-\nu} K_\nu(an^2)\qquad (|\arg\,a|<\pi/2)\] as the parameter $|a|\to 0$. It…

To a compact hyperbolic Riemann surface, we associate a finitely summable spectral triple whose underlying topological space is the limit set of a corresponding Schottky group, and whose ``Riemannian'' aspect (Hilbert space and Dirac…

Characterizing in a constructive way the set of real functions whose Fourier transforms are positive appears to be yet an open problem. Some sufficient conditions are known but they are far from being exhaustive. We propose two constructive…

Consider positive solutions to second order elliptic equations with measurable coefficients in a bounded domain, which vanish on a portion of the boundary. We give simple necessary and sufficient geometric conditions on the domain, which…

We introduce a $p$-adic $L$-function $\mathscr L_{A/L}$ associated to an ordinary elliptic curve $A$ over a global function field $K$ of characteristic $p$ together with a $\mathbb{Z}_{p}^{d}$-extension $L/K$, $d=0$ allowed, unramified…

We use the Aubry-Perret bound for singular curves, a generalization of the Hasse-Weil bound, to prove the following curious result about rational functions over finite fields: Let $f(X),g(X)\in\Bbb F_q(X)\setminus\{0\}$ be such that $q$ is…

We study deformation theory of elliptic fibre bundles over curves in positive characteristics. As applications, we give examples of non-liftable elliptic surfaces in charactertic two and three, which answers a question of Katsura and Ueno.…

Let $\mathcal F$ be a holomorphic foliation on a compact K\'ahler surface with hyperbolic singularities and no foliation cycle. We prove that if the limit set of $\mathcal F$ has zero Lebesgue measure, then its complement is a modification…

A sharp pointwise differential inequality for vectorial second-order partial differential operators, with Uhlenbeck structure, is offered. As a consequence, optimal second-order regularity properties of solutions to nonlinear elliptic…

The Laplace operator acting on antisymmetric tensor fields in a $D$--dimensional Euclidean ball is studied. Gauge-invariant local boundary conditions (absolute and relative ones, in the language of Gilkey) are considered. The eigenfuctions…

In this paper we will establish necessary and sufficient conditions for a Laplace-Carleson embedding to be bounded for certain spaces of functions on the positive half-line. We will use these results to characterise weighted (infinite-time)…

In this article, we extend a result of L. Loomis and W. Rudin, regarding boundary behavior of positive harmonic functions on the upper half space $\R_+^{n+1}$. We show that similar results remain valid for more general approximate…

We analyze a non-linear elliptic boundary value problem, that involves $(p, q)$ Laplace operator, for the existence of its positive solution in an arbitrary smooth bounded domain. The non-linearity here is driven by a continuous function in…
