On varieties of Hilbert type

Lior Bary-Soroker, Arno Fehm, Sebastian Petersen (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

A variety X over a field K is of Hilbert type if X ( K ) is not thin. We prove that if f : X S is a dominant morphism of K -varieties and both S and all fibers f - 1 ( s ) , s S ( K ) , are of Hilbert type, then so is X . We apply this to answer a question of Serre on products of varieties and to generalize a result of Colliot-Thélène and Sansuc on algebraic groups.

On volumes of arithmetic quotients of S O ( 1 , n )

Mikhail Belolipetsky (2004)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We apply G. Prasad’s volume formula for the arithmetic quotients of semi-simple groups and Bruhat-Tits theory to study the covolumes of arithmetic subgroups of S O ( 1 , n ) . As a result we prove that for any even dimension  n there exists a unique compact arithmetic hyperbolic n -orbifold of the smallest volume. We give a formula for the Euler-Poincaré characteristic of the orbifolds and present an explicit description of their fundamental groups as the stabilizers of certain lattices in quadratic spaces. We...

Quelques questions d’approximation faible pour les tores algébriques

Jean-Louis Colliot-Thélène, Venapally Suresh (2007)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Soient K un corps global, T un K -tore, S un ensemble fini de places de K . On note K v le complété de K en v S . Soit T ( K ) , resp. T ( K v ) , le groupe des points K -rationnels, resp. K v -rationnels, de T . Notons T ( O v ) T ( K v ) le sous-groupe compact maximal. Nous montrons que pour T et S convenables l’application T ( K ) v S T ( K v ) / T ( O v ) induite par l’application diagonale n’est pas surjective. Cela implique que pour v convenable le groupe T ( O v ) ne couvre pas forcément toutes les classes de R -équivalence de T ( K v ) . Lorsque K est un corps de fonctions d’une variable...

Rational fixed points for linear group actions

Pietro Corvaja (2007)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We prove a version of the Hilbert Irreducibility Theorem for linear algebraic groups. Given a connected linear algebraic group G , an affine variety V and a finite map π : V G , all defined over a finitely generated field κ of characteristic zero, Theorem 1.6 provides the natural necessary and sufficient condition under which the set π ( V ( κ ) ) contains a Zariski dense sub-semigroup Γ G ( κ ) ; namely, there must exist an unramified covering p : G ˜ G and a map θ : G ˜ V such that π θ = p . In the case κ = , G = 𝔾 a is the additive group, we reobtain the...
