Rational points on curves

Michael Stoll (2011)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

This is an extended version of an invited lecture I gave at the Journées Arithmétiques in St. Étienne in July 2009. We discuss the state of the art regarding the problem of finding the set of rational points on a (smooth projective) geometrically integral curve $C$ over $ℚ$ . The focus is on practical aspects of this problem in the case that the genus of $C$ is at least $2$ , and therefore the set of rational points is finite.

Rational Points on Certain Hyperelliptic Curves over Finite Fields

Maciej Ulas (2007)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

Let K be a field, a,b ∈ K and ab ≠ 0. Consider the polynomials g₁(x) = xⁿ+ax+b, g₂(x) = xⁿ+ax²+bx, where n is a fixed positive integer. We show that for each k≥ 2 the hypersurface given by the equation $S_{k}^{i} : u ² = \prod_{j = 1}^{k} g_{i} (x_{j})$ , i=1,2, contains a rational curve. Using the above and van de Woestijne’s recent results we show how to construct a rational point different from the point at infinity on the curves $C_{i} : y ² = g_{i} (x)$ , (i=1,2) defined over a finite field, in polynomial time.

Varieties of minimal rational tangents of codimension 1

Jun-Muk Hwang (2013)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

Let $X$ be a uniruled projective manifold and let $x$ be a general point. The main result of [2] says that if the $(- K_{X})$ -degrees (i.e., the degrees with respect to the anti-canonical bundle of $X$ ) of all rational curves through $x$ are at least $dim X + 1$ , then $X$ is a projective space. In this paper, we study the structure of $X$ when the $(- K_{X})$ -degrees of all rational curves through $x$ are at least $dim X$ . Our study uses the projective variety $𝒞_{x} \subset ℙ T_{x} (X)$ , called the VMRT at $x$ , defined as the union of tangent directions to the...

Finiteness of cominuscule quantum $K$ -theory

Anders S. Buch, Pierre-Emmanuel Chaput, Leonardo C. Mihalcea, Nicolas Perrin (2013)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

The product of two Schubert classes in the quantum $K$ -theory ring of a homogeneous space $X = G / P$ is a formal power series with coefficients in the Grothendieck ring of algebraic vector bundles on $X$ . We show that if $X$ is cominuscule, then this power series has only finitely many non-zero terms. The proof is based on a geometric study of boundary Gromov-Witten varieties in the Kontsevich moduli space, consisting of stable maps to $X$ that take the marked points to general Schubert varieties and...

Frobenius nonclassicality with respect to linear systems of curves of arbitrary degree

Nazar Arakelian, Herivelto Borges (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

For each integer s ≥ 1, we present a family of curves that are $_{q}$ -Frobenius nonclassical with respect to the linear system of plane curves of degree s. In the case s=2, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for such curves to be $_{q}$ -Frobenius nonclassical with respect to the linear system of conics. In the $_{q}$ -Frobenius nonclassical cases, we determine the exact number of $_{q}$ -rational points. In the remaining cases, an upper bound for the number of $_{q}$ -rational points will follow from Stöhr-Voloch...

A note on minimal zero-sum sequences over ℤ

Papa A. Sissokho (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

A zero-sum sequence over ℤ is a sequence with terms in ℤ that sum to 0. It is called minimal if it does not contain a proper zero-sum subsequence. Consider a minimal zero-sum sequence over ℤ with positive terms $a ₁, . . ., a_{h}$ and negative terms $b ₁, . . ., b_{k}$ . We prove that h ≤ ⌊σ⁺/k⌋ and k ≤ ⌊σ⁺/h⌋, where $σ ⁺ = \sum_{i = 1}^{h} a_{i} = - \sum_{j = 1}^{k} b_{j}$ . These bounds are tight and improve upon previous results. We also show a natural partial order structure on the collection of all minimal zero-sum sequences over the set i∈ ℤ : -n ≤ i ≤ n for any positive...

A note on Sierpiński's problem related to triangular numbers

Maciej Ulas (2009)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We show that the system of equations $t_{x} + t_{y} = t_{p}, t_{y} + t_{z} = t_{q}, t_{x} + t_{z} = t_{r}$ , where $t_{x} = x (x + 1) / 2$ is a triangular number, has infinitely many solutions in integers. Moreover, we show that this system has a rational three-parameter solution. Using this result we show that the system $t_{x} + t_{y} = t_{p}, t_{y} + t_{z} = t_{q}, t_{x} + t_{z} = t_{r}, t_{x} + t_{y} + t_{z} = t_{s}$ has infinitely many rational two-parameter solutions.

On some properties of three-dimensional minimal sets in $ℝ^{4}$

Tien Duc Luu (2013)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Similarity:

We prove in this paper the Hölder regularity of Almgren minimal sets of dimension 3 in $ℝ^{4}$ around a $𝕐$ -point and the existence of a point of particular type of a Mumford-Shah minimal set in $ℝ^{4}$ , which is very close to a $𝕋$ . This will give a local description of minimal sets of dimension 3 in $ℝ^{4}$ around a singular point and a property of Mumford-Shah minimal sets in $ℝ^{4}$ .

The minimal resultant locus

Robert Rumely (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

Let K be a complete, algebraically closed nonarchimedean valued field, and let φ(z) ∈ K(z) have degree d ≥ 2. We study how the resultant of φ varies under changes of coordinates. For γ ∈ GL₂(K), we show that the map $γ \mapsto o r d (R e s (φ^{γ}))$ factors through a function $o r d R e s_{φ} (\cdot)$ on the Berkovich projective line, which is piecewise affine and convex up. The minimal resultant is achieved either at a single point in $P ¹_{K}$ , or on a segment, and the minimal resultant locus is contained in the tree in $P ¹_{K}$ spanned by the fixed points...

Real singular Del Pezzo surfaces and 3-folds fibred by rational curves, II

Fabrizio Catanese, Frédéric Mangolte (2009)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

Let $W \to X$ be a real smooth projective 3-fold fibred by rational curves such that $W (ℝ)$ is orientable. J. Kollár proved that a connected component $N$ of $W (ℝ)$ is essentially either Seifert fibred or a connected sum of lens spaces. Answering three questions of Kollár, we give sharp estimates on the number and the multiplicities of the Seifert fibres (resp. the number and the torsions of the lens spaces) when $X$ is a geometrically rational surface. When $N$ is Seifert fibred over a base orbifold $F$ , our...

On Zariski's theorem in positive characteristic

Ilya Tyomkin (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

In the current paper we show that the dimension of a family $V$ of irreducible reduced curves in a given ample linear system on a toric surface $S$ over an algebraically closed field is bounded from above by $- K_{S} . C + p_{g} (C) - 1$ , where $C$ denotes a general curve in the family. This result generalizes a famous theorem of Zariski to the case of positive characteristic. We also explore new phenomena that occur in positive characteristic: We show that the equality $𝚍𝚒𝚖 (V) = - K_{S} . C + p_{g} (C) - 1$ does not imply the nodality of $C$ even if $C$ belongs...

Composite rational functions expressible with few terms

Clemens Fuchs, Umberto Zannier (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We consider a rational function $f$ which is ‘lacunary’ in the sense that it can be expressed as the ratio of two polynomials (not necessarily coprime) having each at most a given number $ℓ$ of terms. Then we look at the possible decompositions $f (x) = g (h (x))$ , where $g, h$ are rational functions of degree larger than 1. We prove that, apart from certain exceptional cases which we completely describe, the degree of $g$ is bounded only in terms of $ℓ$ (and we provide explicit bounds). This supports and quantifies...

A note on generalized projections in c₀

Beata Deręgowska, Barbara Lewandowska (2014)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Let V ⊂ Z be two subspaces of a Banach space X. We define the set of generalized projections by $_{V} (X, Z) : = {P \in (X, Z) : P |}_{V} = i d$ . Now let X = c₀ or $l_{\infty}^{m}$ , Z:= kerf for some f ∈ X* and $V : = Z \cap l ⁿ_{\infty}$ (n < m). The main goal of this paper is to discuss existence, uniqueness and strong uniqueness of a minimal generalized projection in this case. Also formulas for the relative generalized projection constant and the strong uniqueness constant will be given (cf. J. Blatter and E. W. Cheney [Ann. Mat. Pura Appl. 101 (1974), 215-227] and...

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We prove that for a finite collection of sets $A ₁, . . ., A_{s} \subset ℝ^{k + n}$ definable in an o-minimal structure there exists a compatible definable stratification such that for any stratum the fibers of its projection onto $ℝ^{k}$ satisfy the Whitney property with exponent 1.
