We study rationality properties of smooth complete intersections of three quadrics in $\mathbb{P}^7$. We exhibit a smooth family of such intersections with both rational and non-rational fibers.

This paper presents geometric proofs for the irrationality of square roots of select integers, extending classical approaches. Building on known geometric methods for proving the irrationality of sqrt(2), the authors explore whether similar…

In this paper, we study a generalization of the notion of AS-regularity for connected $\mathbb{Z}$-algebras. Our main result is a characterization of those categories equivalent to noncommutative projective schemes associated to right…

We show that the intersection of the irreducible components of a hypersurface defined by a polynomial with square-free support has F-rational singularities in characteristic $p>0$. As a consequence, we obtain that hypersurfaces defined by…

We study a double cover $\psi:X\to V\subset\mathbb{P}^{n}$ branched over a smooth divisor $R\subset V$ such that $R$ is cut on $V$ by a hypersurface of degree $2(n-\mathrm{deg}(V))$, where $n\geqslant 8$ and $V$ is a smooth hypersurface of…

We show that if $f\colon X \to T$ is a surjective morphism between smooth projective varieties over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$ with geometrically integral and non-uniruled generic fiber, then $K_{X/T}$ is…

Let R be a regular semi-local domain containing a field such that all the residue fields are infinite. Let K be the fraction field of R. Let q be a quadratic space over R on a free rank n R-module P such that the projective quadric q=0 is…

We prove the non-rationality of a double cover of $\mathbb{P}^{n}$ branched over a hypersurface $F\subset\mathbb{P}^{n}$ of degree $2n$ having isolated singularities such that $n\ge 4$ and every singular points of the hypersurface $F$ is…

Let A be a basic connected finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field k. Assuming that A is monomial and that the ordinary quiver Q of A has no oriented cycle and no multiple arrows, we prove that A admits a universal…

A `trinomial hyper surface' is defined in \S 1 below. In this article, I provide a supportive reasoning towards the fact that there can be examples of trinomial hyper surfaces (at least over fields of characteristic 2) for which the…

We prove upper bounds for the number of rational points on non-singular cubic curves defined over the rationals. The bounds are uniform in the curve and involve the rank of the corresponding Jacobian. The method used in the proof is a…

As a generalization of a quasi-elliptic surface, there is a quasi-hyperelliptic surface, a nonsingular projective surface which has a fibration structure whose general fiber is a quasi-hyperelliptic curve ($=$ singular hyperelliptic curve…

In arXiv:1008.3825, Totaro gave examples of a K3 surface such that its automorphism group is not commensurable with an arithmetic group, answering a question of Mazur. We give examples of rational surfaces with the same property. Our…

We exhibit a smooth complex rational affine surface with uncountably many nonisomorphic real forms.

By Hartman--Nirenberg's theorem, any complete flat hypersurface in Euclidean space must be a cylinder over a plane curve. However, if we admit some singularities, there are many non-trivial examples. Flat fronts are flat hypersurfaces with…

For any standard quadric surface bundle over $\mathbb P^2$, we show that the locus of rational fibres is dense in the moduli space.

We undertake a study of extensions of unirational algebraic groups. We prove that extensions of unirational groups are also unirational over fields of degree of imperfection $1$, but that this fails over every field of higher degree of…

We give an upper bound for the essential dimension of a smooth unipotent algebraic group over an arbitrary field. We also show that over a field $k$ which is finitely generated over a perfect field, a smooth unipotent algebraic $k$-group is…

Serre famously showed that almost all plane conics over $\mathbb{Q}$ have no rational point. We investigate versions of this over global function fields, focusing on a specific family of conics over $\mathbb{F}_2(t)$ which illustrates new…

Given a nondegenerate ternary form $f=f(x_1,x_2,x_3)$ of degree 4 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, we use the geometry of K3 surfaces to construct a certain positive-dimensional family of irreducible…
