Affine congruences and rational points on a certain cubic surface

Rational Points in the Noether-Lefschetz Locus of Moduli Spaces of K3 Surfaces

We give a characterization of rational points lying on the Noether-Lefschetz locus of moduli spaces of K3 surfaces by studying their lifting properties under some natural coverings of the ambient space. We then prove that the Bombieri-Lang conjecture impli ...

Additive and geometric transversality of fractal sets in the integers

Florian Karl Richter

By juxtaposing ideas from fractal geometry and dynamical systems, Furstenberg proposed a series of conjectures in the late 1960's that explore the relationship between digit expansions with respect to multiplicatively independent bases. In this work, we in ...

GLOBALLY plus -REGULAR VARIETIES AND THE MINIMAL MODEL PROGRAM FOR THREEFOLDS IN MIXED CHARACTERISTIC

Zsolt Patakfalvi, Joseph Allen Waldron

We establish the Minimal Model Program for arithmetic threefolds whose residue characteristics are greater than five. In doing this, we generalize the theory of global F-regularity to mixed characteristic and identify certain stable sections of adjoint lin ...

ON THE INDEPENDENCE NUMBER OF INTERSECTION GRAPHS OF AXIS-PARALLEL SEGMENTS

Jana Tabea Cslovjecsek

We prove that for any triangle-free intersection graph of n axis-parallel line segments in the plane, the independence number alpha of this graph is at least alpha n/4+ohm(root n). We complement this with a construction of a graph in this class satisfying ...

On rationally connected varieties over C1 fields of characteristic 0

Marta Pieropan

We use birational geometry to show that the existence of rational points on proper rationally connected varieties over fields of characteristic 0 is a consequence of the existence of rational points on terminal Fano varieties. We discuss several consequenc ...

The Lang-Trotter conjecture for products of non-CM elliptic curves

Vlad Serban

Inspired by the work of Lang-Trotter on the densities of primes with fixed Frobenius traces for elliptic curves defined over Q and by the subsequent generalization of Cojocaru-Davis-Silverberg-Stange to generic abelian varieties, we study the analogous que ...

Quand les artistes font forme en habitant ensemble. Usages, présences, imaginaires

Mathilde Coline Chénin

Taking root within a historical and transversal perspective of communities of artists at work, and of the relationship that they nourish with the places that host their creative activity, the present research intends to bring to light the grammars of "the ...

Global Frobenius liftability I

Maciej Emilian Zdanowicz

We formulate a conjecture characterizing smooth projective varieties in positive characteristic whose Frobenius morphism can be lifted modulo p(2)-we expect that such varieties, after a finite stale cover, admit a toric fibration over an ordinary abelian v ...

Nonperturbative Mellin Amplitudes

João Pedro Alves Da Silva

Conformal field theory lies at the heart of two central topics in theoretical high energy physics: the study of quantum gravity and the mapping of quantum field theories through the renormalization group. In this thesis we explore a technique to study conf ...

Demography of galactic technosignatures

Claudio Grimaldi

Probabilistic arguments about the existence of technological life beyond Earth traditionally refer to the Drake equation to draw possible estimates of the number of technologically advanced civilizations releasing, either intentionally or not, electromagne ...
