We prove that the cohomology class of any curve on a very general principally polarized abelian variety of dimension at least 4 is an even multiple of the minimal class. The same holds for the intermediate Jacobian of a very general cubic…

We prove that there is only a finite number of genus 2 curves C defined over Q such that there exists a nonconstant morphism pi:X_1(N) --->C defined over Q and the jacobian of C, J(C), is a Q-factor of the new part of the jacobian of…

In this paper we give a criterion of irreducibility for a complex power series in two variables, using the notion of jacobian Newton diagrams, defined with respect to any direction. Moreover we study the singularity at infinity of a plane…

We study a natural question in the Iwasawa theory of algebraic curves of genus $>1$. Fix a prime number $p$. Let $X$ be a smooth, projective, geometrically irreducible curve defined over a number field $K$ of genus $g>1$, such that the…

We give some bounds on the numbers of rational points on abelian varieties and jacobians varieties over finite fields. The main result is that we determine the maximum and minimum number of rational points on jacobians varieties of…

Let $X$ be an integral scheme of finite presentation over a perfect field. Let $q$ be a singular closed point of $X$. We prove that there exists an open subset $V$ of $X$ containing $q$ such that $V$ admits a resolution, that is, there…

We extend the formulae of classical invariant theory for the Jacobian of a genus one curve of degree $n \le 4$ to curves of arbitrary degree. To do this, we associate to each genus one normal curve of degree $n$, an $n \times n$ alternating…

We give a short, elementary and explicit proof of the existence of Hilbert schemes of points on affine schemes. As a direct consequence we obtain the existence of the Hilbert scheme of points on any projective scheme, not necessarily of…

We introduce and study a new class of compactified Jacobians for nodal curves, that we call compactified Jacobians of vine type, or simply V-compactified Jacobians. This class is strictly larger than the class of classical compactified…

Let $A_t$ be a family of abelian varieties over a number field $k$ parametrized by a rational coordinate $t$, and suppose the generic fiber of $A_t$ is geometrically simple. For example, we may take $A_t$ to be the Jacobian of the…

Let $K$ be a number field, let $g \geq 1$ be an integer and let $f(x) = (x - a_1) \cdots (x - a_{2g + 1}) \in O_K[x]$ be a polynomial that splits into $2g + 1$ distinct linear factors. Write $C$ for the hyperelliptic curve given by $C: y^2…

This a first step to develop a theory of smooth, etale and unramified morphisms between noetherian formal schemes. Our main tool is the complete module of differentials, that is a coherent sheaf whenever the map of formal schemes is of…

For a definable continuous mapping $f$ from a definable connected open subset $\Omega$ of $\mathbb R^n$ into $\mathbb R^n,$ we show that the following statements are equivalent: (i) The mapping $f$ is open. (ii) The fibers of $f$ are finite…

We construct natural relative compactifications for the relative Jacobian over a family $X/S$ of reduced curves. In contrast with all the available compactifications so far, ours admit a universal sheaf, after an etale base change. Our…

We introduce a new class of fine compactified Jacobians for nodal curves, that we call fine compactified Jacobians of vine type, or simply fine V-compactified Jacobians. This class is strictly larger than the class of fine classical…

Some new bounds for the extreme zeroes of Jacobi polynomials are obtained with an elementary approach. A feature of these bounds is their simple forms, which make them easy to work with. Despite their simplicity, our lower bounds for the…

We find explicit equations for two-coverings of Jacobians of genus two curves over an arbitrary ground field of characteristic different from two.

We prove that for any number field $K$ and any fixed genus $g \geq 2$, there are infinitely many non-isomorphic hyperelliptic curves of genus $g$ over $K$ whose Jacobians have rank over $K$ equal to each of 0, 1, or 2. As an example of our…

Let $f$ be a polynomial automorphism of the affine plane. In this paper we consider the possibility for it to possess infinitely many periodic points on an algebraic curve $C$. We conjecture that this happens if and only if $f$ admits a…

We show that the existence of a non-trivial solution of $x^n+y^n=p^n$, with $p$ a prime number, is equivalent to the existence of a solution of a certain (over-determined) system of $(n-1)$-recursion relations ("zipper" equations) in…
