Rational points on $X_{0}^{+} (p^{r})$

Yuri Bilu, Pierre Parent, Marusia Rebolledo (2013)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

Using the recent isogeny bounds due to Gaudron and Rémond we obtain the triviality of $X_{0}^{+} (p^{r}) (ℚ)$ , for $r > 1$ and $p$ a prime number exceeding $2 \cdot 10^{11}$ . This includes the case of the curves $X_{split} (p)$ . We then prove, with the help of computer calculations, that the same holds true for $p$ in the range $11 \leq p \leq 10^{14}$ , $p \neq 13$ . The combination of those results completes the qualitative study of rational points on $X_{0}^{+} (p^{r})$ undertook in our previous work, with the only exception of $p^{r} = 13^{2}$ .

Multiple end solutions to the Allen-Cahn equation in $ℝ^{2}$

Michał Kowalczyk, Yong Liu, Frank Pacard (2013-2014)

Séminaire Laurent Schwartz — EDP et applications

Similarity:

An entire solution of the Allen-Cahn equation $Δ u = f (u)$ , where $f$ is an odd function and has exactly three zeros at $\pm 1$ and $0$ , e.g. $f (u) = u (u^{2} - 1)$ , is called a $2 k$ end solution if its nodal set is asymptotic to $2 k$ half lines, and if along each of these half lines the function $u$ looks (up to a multiplication by $- 1$ ) like the one dimensional, odd, heteroclinic solution $H$ , of $H^{''} = f (H)$ . In this paper we present some recent advances in the theory of the multiple end solutions. We begin with the description of the moduli space...

Euler characteristics of moduli spaces of curves

Gilberto Bini, John Harer (2011)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Let $M_{g}^{n}$ be the moduli space of $n$ -pointed Riemann surfaces of genus $g$ . Denote by $\bar{M_{g}^{n}}$ the Deligne-Mumford compactification of $M_{g}^{n}$ . In the present paper, we calculate the orbifold and the ordinary Euler characteristic of $\bar{M_{g}^{n}}$ for any $g$ and $n$ such that $n > 2 - 2 g$ .

An effective proof of the hyperelliptic Shafarevich conjecture

Rafael von Känel (2014)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

Let $C$ be a hyperelliptic curve of genus $g \geq 1$ over a number field $K$ with good reduction outside a finite set of places $S$ of $K$ . We prove that $C$ has a Weierstrass model over the ring of integers of $K$ with height effectively bounded only in terms of $g$ , $S$ and $K$ . In particular, we obtain that for any given number field $K$ , finite set of places $S$ of $K$ and integer $g \geq 1$ one can in principle determine the set of $K$ -isomorphism classes of hyperelliptic curves over $K$ of genus $g$ with good reduction outside...

On ramified covers of the projective plane II: Generalizing Segre’s theory

Michael Friedman, Rebecca Lehman, Maxim Leyenson, Mina Teicher (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

The classical Segre theory gives a necessary and sufficient condition for a plane curve to be a branch curve of a (generic) projection of a smooth surface in $ℙ^{3}$ . We generalize this result for smooth surfaces in a projective space of any dimension in the following way: given two plane curves, $B$ and $E$ , we give a necessary and sufficient condition for $B$ to be the branch curve of a surface $X$ in $ℙ^{N}$ and $E$ to be the image of the double curve of a $ℙ^{3}$ -model of $X$ . In the classical Segre theory, a...

The local lifting problem for actions of finite groups on curves

Ted Chinburg, Robert Guralnick, David Harbater (2011)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > 0$ . We study obstructions to lifting to characteristic $0$ the faithful continuous action $φ$ of a finite group $G$ on $k [[t]]$ . To each such $φ$ a theorem of Katz and Gabber associates an action of $G$ on a smooth projective curve $Y$ over $k$ . We say that the KGB obstruction of $φ$ vanishes if $G$ acts on a smooth projective curve $X$ in characteristic $0$ in such a way that $X / H$ and $Y / H$ have the same genus for all subgroups $H \subset G$ . We determine for which $G$ the KGB...

Explicit Teichmüller curves with complementary series

Carlos Matheus, Gabriela Weitze-Schmithüsen (2013)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

We construct an explicit family of arithmetic Teichmüller curves $𝒞_{2 k}$ , $k \in ℕ$ , supporting $SL (2, ℝ)$ -invariant probabilities $μ_{2 k}$ such that the associated $SL (2, ℝ)$ -representation on $L^{2} (𝒞_{2 k}, μ_{2 k})$ has complementary series for every $k \geq 3$ . Actually, the size of the spectral gap along this family goes to zero. In particular, the Teichmüller geodesic flow restricted to these explicit arithmetic Teichmüller curves $𝒞_{2 k}$ has arbitrarily slow rate of exponential mixing.

On the birational gonalities of smooth curves

E. Ballico (2014)

Annales Universitatis Mariae Curie-Sklodowska, sectio A – Mathematica

Similarity:

Let $C$ be a smooth curve of genus $g$ . For each positive integer $r$ the birational $r$ -gonality $s_{r} (C)$ of $C$ is the minimal integer $t$ such that there is $L \in {Pic}^{t} (C)$ with $h^{0} (C, L) = r + 1$ . Fix an integer $r \geq 3$ . In this paper we prove the existence of an integer $g_{r}$ such that for every integer $g \geq g_{r}$ there is a smooth curve $C$ of genus $g$ with $s_{r + 1} (C) / (r + 1) > s_{r} (C) / r$ , i.e. in the sequence of all birational gonalities of $C$ at least one of the slope inequalities fails.

On invariants of elliptic curves on average

Amir Akbary, Adam Tyler Felix (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

We prove several results regarding some invariants of elliptic curves on average over the family of all elliptic curves inside a box of sides A and B. As an example, let E be an elliptic curve defined over ℚ and p be a prime of good reduction for E. Let $e_{E} (p)$ be the exponent of the group of rational points of the reduction modulo p of E over the finite field $_{p}$ . Let be the family of elliptic curves $E_{a, b} : y^{2} = x^{3} + a x + b$ , where |a| ≤ A and |b| ≤ B. We prove that, for any c > 1 and k∈ ℕ, $1 / | | \sum_{E \in} \sum_{p \leq x} e_{E}^{k} (p) = C_{k} l i (x^{k + 1}) + O ((x^{k + 1}) / {(l o g x)}^{c}$ )as x → ∞, as long...

Siano $d$ , $g$ , $t$ interi con $0\leq t\leq g$ ; se esiste in $\mathbb{P}_{3}(\mathbb{C})$ una curva connessa, non singolare di grado $d$ e genere $g$ , allora esiste in $\mathbb{P}_{3}(\mathbb{C})$ una curva irriducibile di grado $d$ , genere aritmetico $g$ e $t$ nodi.

Cluster ensembles, quantization and the dilogarithm

Vladimir V. Fock, Alexander B. Goncharov (2009)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

A cluster ensemble is a pair $(𝒳, 𝒜)$ of positive spaces (i.e. varieties equipped with positive atlases), coming with an action of a symmetry group $Γ$ . The space $𝒜$ is closely related to the spectrum of a cluster algebra [12]. The two spaces are related by a morphism $p : 𝒜 \to 𝒳$ . The space $𝒜$ is equipped with a closed $2$ -form, possibly degenerate, and the space $𝒳$ has a Poisson structure. The map $p$ is compatible with these structures. The dilogarithm together with its motivic and quantum avatars plays a central...

Invariance of the parity conjecture for $p$ -Selmer groups of elliptic curves in a $D_{2 p^{n}}$ -extension

Thomas de La Rochefoucauld (2011)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

We show a $p$ -parity result in a $D_{2 p^{n}}$ -extension of number fields $L / K$ ( $p \geq 5$ ) for the twist $1 \oplus η \oplus τ$ : $W (E / K, 1 \oplus η \oplus τ) = {(- 1)}^{〈1 \oplus η \oplus τ, X_{p} (E / L)〉}$ , where $E$ is an elliptic curve over $K$ , $η$ and $τ$ are respectively the quadratic character and an irreductible representation of degree $2$ of $Gal (L / K) = D_{2 p^{n}}$ , and $X_{p} (E / L)$ is the $p$ -Selmer group. The main novelty is that we use a congruence result between $ε_{0}$ -factors (due to Deligne) for the determination of local root numbers in bad cases (places of additive reduction above 2 and 3). We also give applications to the $p$ -parity conjecture...

On covering and quasi-unsplit families of curves

Laurent Bonavero, Cinzia Casagrande, Stéphane Druel (2007)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Given a covering family $V$ of effective 1-cycles on a complex projective variety $X$ , we find conditions allowing one to construct a geometric quotient $q : X \to Y$ , with $q$ regular on the whole of $X$ , such that every fiber of $q$ is an equivalence class for the equivalence relation naturally defined by $V$ . Among other results, we show that on a normal and $ℚ$ -factorial projective variety $X$ with canonical singularities and $dim X \leq 4$ , every covering and quasi-unsplit family $V$ of rational curves generates a geometric...

Pointed $k$ -surfaces

Graham Smith (2006)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

Let $S$ be a Riemann surface. Let $ℍ^{3}$ be the $3$ -dimensional hyperbolic space and let $\partial_{\infty} ℍ^{3}$ be its ideal boundary. In our context, a Plateau problem is a locally holomorphic mapping $ϕ : S \to \partial_{\infty} ℍ^{3} = \hat{ℂ}$ . If $i : S \to ℍ^{3}$ is a convex immersion, and if $N$ is its exterior normal vector field, we define the Gauss lifting, $\hat{ı}$ , of $i$ by $\hat{ı} = N$ . Let $\vec{n} : U ℍ^{3} \to \partial_{\infty} ℍ^{3}$ be the Gauss-Minkowski mapping. A solution to the Plateau problem $(S, ϕ)$ is a convex immersion $i$ of constant Gaussian curvature equal to $k \in (0, 1)$ such that the Gauss lifting $(S, \hat{ı})$ is complete and $\vec{n} \circ \hat{ı} = ϕ$ . In this...
