Corrigendum to the paper "Hermitian forms over division algebras over real function fields".
We present a combinatorial mechanism for counting certain objects associated to a variety over a finite field. The basic example is that of counting conjugacy classes of the general linear group. We discuss how the method applies to counting these and also to counting unipotent matrices and pairs of commuting matrices.[Proceedings of the Primeras Jornadas de Teoría de Números (Vilanova i la Geltrú (Barcelona), 30 June - 2 July 2005)].
In this paper, we give asymptotic formulas for the number of cyclic quartic extensions of a number field.
For each transitive permutation group on letters with , we give without proof results, conjectures, and numerical computations on discriminants of number fields of degree over such that the Galois group of the Galois closure of is isomorphic to .
We give an asymptotic formula for the number of elliptic curves over ℚ with bounded Faltings height. Silverman (1986) showed that the Faltings height for elliptic curves over number fields can be expressed in terms of modular functions and the minimal discriminant of the elliptic curve. We use this to recast the problem as one of counting lattice points in a particular region in ℝ².
