Quadratic Chabauty is a $p$-adic method for determining rational points on curves. Local heights are arithmetic invariants used in the quadratic Chabauty method. We present an algorithm to compute these local heights for hyperelliptic…
Here we describe the distribution of rational points on the Hilbert scheme of two points in the projective plane. More specifically, we explicitly describe a two-parameter family of height functions $H_{s, t}$, such that the height function…
Let $P$ be an arbitrary point on an elliptic curve over the complex numbers of the form $y^2=x^3+a_4\,x+a_6$ or of the form $y^2=x^3+a_2\,x^2+a_4\,x$. We provide explicit formulae to compute the points $P/2$, i.e., the points $Q$ such that…
We define a notion of height for rational points with respect to a vector bundle on a proper algebraic stack with finite diagonal over a global field, which generalizes the usual notion for rational points on projective varieties. We…
Descent theory (a modern formulation of Fermat's classical method of infinite descent) is a powerful tool in arithmetic geometry. In this article, we reinterpret descent theory through the lens of quotient stacks and apply it in the setting…
In this article, we study the jumping numbers of an ideal in the local ring at rational singularity on a complex algebraic surface. By understanding the contributions of reduced divisors on a fixed resolution, we are able to present an…
We prove that a positive proportion of squarefree integers are congruent numbers such that the canonical height of the lowest non-torsion rational point on the corresponding elliptic curve satisfies a strong lower bound.
A sequence of rational points on an algebraic planar curve is said to form an $r$-geometric progression sequence if either the abscissae or the ordinates of these points form a geometric progression sequence with ratio $r$. In this work, we…
In this note, we establish an asymptotic formula for the number of rational points of bounded height on the singular cubic surface $$ x_0(x_1^2 + x_2^2)=x_3^3 $$ with a power-saving error term, which verifies the Manin-Peyre conjectures for…
We address the problem of the maximal finite number of real points of a real algebraic curve (of a given degree and, sometimes, genus) in the projective plane. We improve the known upper and lower bounds and construct close to optimal…
We investigate complete arcs of degree greater than two, in projective planes over finite fields, arising from the set of rational points of a generalization of the Hermitian curve. The degree of the arcs is closely related to the number of…
We study rational points on the elliptic surface given by the equation: $$y^2 = x^3 + AxQ(u,v)^2 + BQ(u,v)^3,$$ where $A,B\in \mathbb{Z}$ satisfy that $4A^3-27B^2\neq 0$ and $Q(u,v)$ is a positive-definite quadratic form. We prove…
This paper proves that the maximum number of rational points on a smooth, absolutely irreducible genus 4 curve over the field of 8 elements is 25. The body of the paper shows that 27 points is not possible using techniques from algebraic…
We describe an algorithm that determines a set of unramified covers of a given hyperelliptic curve, with the property that any rational point will lift to one of the covers. In particular, if the algorithm returns an empty set, then the…
In this paper we describe an algorithm for implicitizing rational hypersurfaces in case there exists at most a finite number of base points. It is based on a technique exposed in math.AG/0210096, where implicit equations are obtained as…
We discuss a non-computational elementary approach to a well-known criterion of divisibility by 2 in the group of rational points on an elliptic curve.
It is a classical result (apparently due to Tate) that all elliptic curves with a torsion point of order n ($4 \leq n \leq 10$, or n = 12) lie in a one-parameter family. However, this fact does not appear to have been used ever for…
We derive asymptotic formulas for the number of rational points on a smooth projective quadratic hypersurface of dimension at least three inside of a shrinking adelic open neighbourhood. This is a quantitative version of weak approximation…
In this paper, we give exact and asymptotic formulas for counting elliptic curves $ E_{A,B} \colon y^2 = x^3 + Ax + B $ with $ A, B \in \mathbb{Z} $, ordered by naive height. We study the family of all such curves and also several natural…
An asymptotic formula is established for the number of rational points of bounded anticanonical height which lie on a certain Zariski open subset of an arbitrary smooth biquadratic hypersurface in sufficiently many variables. The proof uses…
