Let $K/k$ be an extension of number fields, and let $P(t)$ be a quadratic polynomial over $k$. Let $X$ be the affine variety defined by $P(t) = N_{K/k}(\mathbf{z})$. We study the Hasse principle and weak approximation for $X$ in three…

Quadric hypersurfaces are well-known to satisfy the Hasse principle. However, this is no longer true in the case of the Hasse principle for integral points, where counter-examples are known to exist in dimension 1 and 2. This work explores…

We prove new cases of the Hasse principle for Kummer surfaces constructed from 2-coverings of Jacobians of genus 2 curves, assuming finiteness of relevant Tate--Shafarevich groups. Under the same assumption, we deduce the Hasse principle…

For any number field we calculate the exact proportion of rational numbers which are everywhere locally a norm but not globally a norm from the number field.

Let $F(x, y)$ be a binary form with integer coefficients, degree $n\geq 3$ and irreducible over the rationals. Suppose that only $s + 1$ of the $n + 1$ coefficients of $F$ are nonzero. We show that the Thue inequality $|F(x,y)|\leq m$ has…

With probability 1, we assess the average behaviour of various arithmetic functions at the values of degree d polynomials f that are ordered by height. This allows us to establish averaged versions of the Bateman-Horn conjecture, the…

We prove that for any t in Q, the curve 5 x^3 + 9 y^3 + 10 z^3 + 12((t^12-t^4-1)/(t^12-t^8-1))^3 (x+y+z)^3 = 0 in P^2 is a genus 1 curve violating the Hasse principle. An explicit Weierstrass model for its Jacobian E_t is given. The…

Let $F \in \mathbb Z[x, y]$ be an irreducible binary form of degree $d \geq 7$ and content one. Let $\alpha$ be a root of $F(x, 1)$ and assume that the field extension $\mathbb Q(\alpha)/\mathbb Q$ is Galois. We prove that, for every…

A formula is proved for the number of linear factors and irreducible cubic factors over $\mathbb{F}_l$ of the Hasse invariant $\hat H_{7,l}(a)$ of the Tate normal form $E_7(a)$ for a point of order $7$, as a polynomial in the parameter $a$,…

We prove that the Hasse principle holds for cubic threefolds with 9 singular points over a number field.

A classical result from 1861 due to Hermite says that every separable equation of degree 5 can be transformed into an equation of the form x^5 + b x^3 + c x + d = 0. Later this was generalized to equations of degree 6 by Joubert. We show…

We analyze the average behavior of various arithmetic functions at the values of degree $d$ binary forms ordered by height, with probability $1$. This approach yields averaged versions of the Chowla conjecture and the Bateman-Horn…

Let k be a global field of characteristic not 2. The classical Hasse-Minkowski theorem states that if two quadratic forms become isomorphic over all the completions of k, then they are isomorphic over k as well. It is natural to ask whether…

We give large families of Shimura curves defined by congruence conditions, all of whose twists lack $p$-adic points for some $p$. For each such curve we give analytically large families of counterexamples to the Hasse principle via the…

We consider the parametric family of sextic Thue equations \[ x^6-2mx^5y-5(m+3)x^4y^2-20x^3y^3+5mx^2y^4+2(m+3)xy^5+y^6=\lambda \] where $m\in\mathbb{Z}$ is an integer and $\lambda$ is a divisor of $27(m^2+3m+9)$. We show that the only…

Given systems of two (inhomogeneous) quadratic equations in four variables, it is known that the Hasse principle for integral points may fail. Sometimes this failure can be explained by some integral Brauer-Manin obstruction. We study the…

We construct new examples of cubic surfaces, for which the Hasse principle fails. Thereby, we show that, over every number field, the counterexamples to the Hasse principle are Zariski dense in the moduli scheme of non-singular cubic…

Lehmer's 1947 conjecture on whether $\tau(n)$ vanishes is still unresolved. In this context, it is natural to consider variants of Lehmer's conjecture. We determine many integers that cannot be values of $\tau(n)$. For example, among the…

We prove that the frequency of abc equations c^n = a+b satisfying the strong abc - conjecture is phi(c^n)/2+o(phi(c^n)/2), for n going to infinity.

Let $K$ be a totally real field. By the asymptotic Fermat's Last Theorem over $K$ we mean the statement that there is a constant $B_K$ such that for prime exponents $p>B_K$ the only solutions to the Fermat equation $a^p + b^p + c^p = 0$…
