In this article, we prove a generalization of a theorem (Ogg's conjecture) due to Bary Mazur for arbitrary $N\in \N$ and for {\it number fields}. The main new observation is a modification of a theorem due to Glenn Stevens for the…

We prove Bertini type theorems and give some applications of them. The applications are in the context of Lefschetz theorem for Nori fundamental group for normal varieties as well as for geometric formal orbifolds. In another application,…

Hindry has proposed an analogue of the classical Brauer-Siegel theorem for abelian varieties over global fields. Roughly speaking, it says that the product of the regulator of the Mordell-Weil group and the order of the Tate-Shafarevich…

Let $\mathcal X$ be a regular variety, flat and proper over a complete regular curve over a finite field, such that the generic fiber $X$ is smooth and geometrically connected. We prove that the Brauer group of $\mathcal X$ is finite if and…

We prove a Frobenius-type theorem for singular distributions generated by a family of locally Lipschitz continuous vector fields satisfying almost everywhere a quantitative finite type condition.

In 2005 Wolfgang Willems put forward a conjecture proposing a lower bound for the sum of squares of the degrees of the irreducible $p$-Brauer characters of a finite group $G$. We prove this conjecture for the prime $p=2$. For this we rely…

This paper shows that finitely additive measures occur naturally in very general Divergence Theorems. The main results are two such theorems. The first proves the existence of pure normal measures for sets of finite perime- ter, which yield…

By using the elementary symmetric polynomials and some results of number theory, we solve the well known problem of Lehmer on Euler's totient function. As application, we obtain a new characterization of prime numbers.

In two dimensions, Gallagher's theorem is a strengthening of the Littlewood conjecture that holds for almost all pairs of real numbers. We prove an inhomogeneous fibre version of Gallagher's theorem, sharpening and making unconditional a…

The aim of this paper is to investigate the birational geometry of Generalized Severi-Brauer varieties. A conjecture of Amitsur states that two Severi-Brauer varieties $V(A)$ and $V(B)$ are birational if the underlying central simple…

Let $k$ be a finitely generated field of characteristic $p>0$ and $X$ a smooth and proper scheme over $k$. Recent works of Cadoret, Hui and Tamagawa show that, if $X$ satisfies the $\ell$-adic Tate conjecture for divisors for every prime…

In this paper, we use counting theorems from the geometry of numbers to extend the Riemann-Roch theorem and the Riemann-Hurwitz formula to global fields of arbitrary characteristic.

Let g be a non-zero rational number. Let N_{g,t}(x) denote the number of primes p<=x for which the subgroup of the multiplicative group of the finite field having p elements that is generated by g mod p is of residual index t. In Part I,…

We obtain a sharp bound on the degree of a globally generated vector bundle over a reduced irreducible projective variety defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. As an application, we obtain a Del Pezzo-Bertini…

Two number fields are said to be Brauer equivalent if there is an isomorphism between their Brauer groups that commutes with restriction. In this paper we prove a variety of number theoretic results about Brauer equivalent number fields…

This paper generalizes Shelah's generic pair conjecture (now theorem) for the measurable cardinal case from first order theories to finite diagrams. We use homogeneous models in the place of saturated models.

Suppose that $\alpha,\beta\in\mathbb{R}$. Let $\alpha\geqslant1$ and $c$ be a real number in the range $1<c< 12/11$. In this paper, it is proved that there exist infinitely many primes in the generalized Piatetski--Shapiro sequence, which…

In this paper we improve our previous results on classification of groups of points on abelian varieties over finite fields. The classification is given in terms of the Weil polynomial of abelian varieties in a given $k$-isogeny class.

The well-known Leibniz theorem (Leibniz Criterion or alternating series test) of convergence of alternating series is generalized for the case when the absolute value of terms of series are "not absolutely monotonously" convergent to zero.…

We relate the Brauer group of a smooth variety over a p-adic field to the geometry of the special fibre of a regular model, using the purity theorem in \'etale cohomology. As an illustration, we describe how the Brauer group of a smooth del…
