The number of connected components of certain real algebraic curves.
Let be a Gorenstein, -factorial, toric Fano variety. We prove two conjectures on the maximal Picard number of in terms of its dimension and its pseudo-index, and characterize the boundary cases. Equivalently, we determine the maximal number of vertices of a simplicial reflexive polytope.
In this article we show that the Bounded Height Conjecture is optimal in the sense that, if is an irreducible subvariety with empty deprived set in a power of an elliptic curve, then every open subset of does not have bounded height. The Bounded Height Conjecture is known to hold. We also present some examples and remarks.
In this paper we show that for every prime the dimension of the -torsion in the Tate-Shafarevich group of can be arbitrarily large, where is an elliptic curve defined over a number field , with bounded by a constant depending only on . From this we deduce that the dimension of the -torsion in the Tate-Shafarevich group of can be arbitrarily large, where is an abelian variety, with bounded by a constant depending only on .
We study a moduli space for Artin-Schreier curves of genus over an algebraically closed field of characteristic . We study the stratification of by -rank into strata of Artin-Schreier curves of genus with -rank exactly . We enumerate the irreducible components of and find their dimensions. As an application, when , we prove that every irreducible component of the moduli space of hyperelliptic -curves with genus and -rank has dimension . We also determine all pairs for...
