We prove a special case of the following conjecture of Zilber-Pink generalising the Manin-Mumford conjecture : let $X$ be a curve inside an Abelian variety $A$ over $\bar{\Q}$, provided $X$ is not contained in a torsion subvariety, the…

In this paper, we consider Abelian varieties over function fields that arise as twists of Abelian varieties by cyclic covers of irreducible quasi-projective varieties. Then, in terms of Prym varieties associated to the cyclic covers, we…

We introduce a qualitative conjecture, in the spirit of Campana, to the effect that certain subsets of rational points on a variety over a number field, or a Deligne-Mumford stack over a ring of S-integers, cannot be Zariski dense. The…

We develop a version of Freiman's theorem for a class of non-abelian groups, which includes finite nilpotent, supersolvable and solvable A-groups. To do this we have to replace the small doubling hypothesis with a stronger relative…

Faltings proved that there are finitely many abelian varieties of genus $g$ over a number field $K$, with good reduction outside a finite set of primes $S$. Fixing one of these abelian varieties $A$, we prove that there are finitely many…

Let K be a finitely generated field over Q, and A an abelian variety over K. Let <, > : A(K^a) x A(K^a) --> R be an arithmetic height pairing on A, where K^a is the algebric closure of K. For x_1,..., x_l \in A(K^a), we denote det(<x_i,…

We partially answer, in terms of monodromy, Murty and Patankar's question: Given an absolutely simple abelian variety over a number field, does it have simple specializations at a set of places of positive Dirichlet density? The answer is…

We study smooth projective complex varieties with ample cotangent bundle. Our main result is that in an abelian variety of dimension n, a complete intersection of at least n/2 general hypersurfaces of sufficiently high degrees has ample…

We survey recent developments in the study of perverse sheaves on semi-abelian varieties. As concrete applications, we discuss various obstructions on the homotopy type of complex algebraic manifolds (expressed in terms of their cohomology…

In this book, we establish a theory of adelic line bundles over quasi-projective varieties over finitely generated fields. Besides definitions of adelic line bundles, we consider their intersection theory, volume theory, and height theory,…

Let A be the jacobian variety of a hyperelliptic curve defined over a number field k. We provide a decomposition formula for the Faltings height of A and for the N\'eron-Tate height of k-rational points on A. We formulate a question of…

We prove a new bound for the Arakelov-Faltings height of an abelian variety over a function field of characteristic zero and relate it to inequalities of ABC-type as conjectured by Buium and Vojta.

We prove new results on the distribution of rational points on ramified covers of abelian varieties over finitely generated fields $k$ of characteristic zero. For example, given a ramified cover $\pi : X \to A$, where $A$ is an abelian…

In this article, we construct a $\theta$-density for the global sections of ample Hermitian line bundles on a projective arithmetic variety. We show that this density has similar behaviour to the usual density in the Arakelov geometric…

For an abelian variety $A$ over a number field we study bounds depending only on the dimension of $A$ for the minimal degree $d(A)$ of a field extension over which $A$ acquires semi-stable reduction. We first compute $d(A)$ in terms of the…

An almost Abelian Lie group is a non-Abelian Lie group with a codimension 1 Abelian subgroup. We show that all discrete subgroups of complex simply connected almost Abelian groups are finitely generated. The topology of connected almost…

Let $p$ be an algebraic point of a projective variety $X$ defined over a number field. Liouville inequality tells us that the norm at $p$ of a non vanishing integral global section of an hermitian line bundle over $X$ is either zero or it…

The densities of small linear structures (such as arithmetic progressions) in subsets of Abelian groups can be expressed as certain analytic averages involving linear forms. Higher-order Fourier analysis examines such averages by…

We prove that the torsion points of an abelian variety are equidistributed over the corresponding berkovich space with respect to the canonical measure.

Let $G$ be a semiabelian variety and $C$ a curve in $G$ that is not contained in a proper algebraic subgroup of $G$. In this situation, conjectures of Pink and Zilber imply that there are at most finitely many points contained in the…
