In this article we prove the following theorems about weak approximation of smooth cubic hypersurfaces and del Pezzo surfaces of degree 4 defined over global fields. (1) For cubic hypersurfaces defined over global function fields, if there…
Geometric Manin's conjecture predicts that components of the moduli space of curves on a Fano variety parametrizing non-free curves are pathological and arise from "accumulating" morphisms that increase the Fujita invariant. By passing to…
Admettant l'hypoth\`ese de Schinzel et la finitude des groupes de Tate-Shafarevich des courbes elliptiques sur les corps de nombres, toute intersection lisse de deux quadriques dans l'espace projectif de dimension n satisfait au principe de…
We report on our investigations concerning algebraic and transcendental Brauer-Manin obstructions to integral points on complements of a hyperplane section in degree four del Pezzo surfaces. We discuss moreover two concepts of an…
This is an exposition of work on Artin's Conjecture on the zeros of $p$-adic forms. A variety of lines of attack are described, going back to 1945. However there is particular emphasis on recent developments concerning quartic forms on the…
We prove that there is a unique $R$-equivalence class on every del Pezzo surface of degree $4$ defined over the Laurent field $K=k((t))$ in one variable over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic not equal to $2$ or $5$. We…
The representation of integral binary forms as sums of two squares is discussed and applied to establish the Manin conjecture for certain Ch\^atelet surfaces defined over the rationals.
The Segre-Gimigliano-Harbourne-Hirschowitz Conjecture can be naturally formulated for Hirzebruch surfaces F_n. We show that this Conjecture holds for imposed base points of equal multiplicity bounded by 8.
We explore log Manin's conjecture for integral points and its connections to $\mathbb A^1$-connectedness. We prove log Manin's conjecture for Campana rational curves and for $\mathbb A^1$-curves on split toric varieties. Our arguments…
In this paper we give an asymptotic formula for the quantity of diagonal del Pezzo surfaces of degree 2 which have a Brauer-Manin obstruction to the Hasse principle when ordered by height.
Chisini's conjecture asserts that for a cuspidal curve $B\subset \mathbb P^2$ a generic morphism $f$ of a smooth projective surface onto $\mathbb P^2$ of degree $\geq 5$, branched along $B$, is unique up to isomorphism. We prove that if…
For an optimal modular parametrization $J_0(n) \twoheadrightarrow E$ of an elliptic curve $E$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ of conductor $n$, Manin conjectured the agreement of two natural $\mathbb{Z}$-lattices in the $\mathbb{Q}$-vector space $H^0(E,…
Let X be a surface with quotient singularities which admits a smoothing to the plane. We prove that X is a deformation of a weighted projective plane P(a^2,b^2,c^2), where a,b,c is a solution of the Markov equation a^2+b^2+c^2=3abc. We also…
In this paper we classify low degree del Pezzo orbifolds with irreducible boundaries. In order to achieve desired boundaries, we classify low degree curves on low degree del Pezzo surfaces. The notion of Campana orbifolds was introduced by…
For each del Pezzo surface $S$ with du Val singularities, we determine whether it admits a $(-K_S)$-polar cylinder or not. If it allows one, then we present an effective $\mathbb{Q}$-divisor $D$ that is $\mathbb{Q}$-linearly equivalent to…
Sur toute surface de del Pezzo de degr\'e 4 sur un corps $C_1$ de caract\'eristique z\'ero, tous les points rationnels sont R-\'equivalents. Plus g\'en\'eralement, ceci vaut sur tout corps parfait infini de caract\'eristique diff\'erente de…
We study irreducibility of families of degree 4 Del Pezzo surface fibrations over curves.
This proves Kontsevich's mirror conjecture for (on the symplectic side) a quartic surface in P^3.
Working over a perfect field, I classify normal del Pezzo surfaces with base number one that contain a nonrational singularity. They form a huge infinite hierarchy; contractions of ruled surfaces lie on top of it. Descending the hierarchy…
We formulate a conjecture on the number of integral points of bounded height on log Fano varieties in analogy with Manin's conjecture on the number of rational points of bounded height on Fano varieties. We also give a prediction for the…
