Non-existence of points rational over number fields on Shimura curves

Keisuke Arai (2016)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

Jordan, Rotger and de Vera-Piquero proved that Shimura curves have no points rational over imaginary quadratic fields under a certain assumption. In this article, we extend their results to the case of number fields of higher degree. We also give counterexamples to the Hasse principle on Shimura curves.

Trivial points on towers of curves

Xavier Xarles (2013)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

In order to study the behavior of the points in a tower of curves, we introduce and study trivial points on towers of curves, and we discuss their finiteness over number fields. We relate the problem of proving that the only rational points are the trivial ones at some level of the tower, to the unboundeness of the gonality of the curves in the tower, which we show under some hypothesis.

Embedding theorems for spaces of ℝ-places of rational function fields and their products

Katarzyna Kuhlmann, Franz-Viktor Kuhlmann (2012)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We study spaces M(R(y)) of ℝ-places of rational function fields R(y) in one variable. For extensions F|R of formally real fields, with R real closed and satisfying a natural condition, we find embeddings of M(R(y)) in M(F(y)) and prove uniqueness results. Further, we study embeddings of products of spaces of the form M(F(y)) in spaces of ℝ-places of rational function fields in several variables. Our results uncover rather unexpected obstacles to a positive solution of the open question...

Counting rational points near planar curves

Ayla Gafni (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

We find an asymptotic formula for the number of rational points near planar curves. More precisely, if f:ℝ → ℝ is a sufficiently smooth function defined on the interval [η,ξ], then the number of rational points with denominator no larger than Q that lie within a δ-neighborhood of the graph of f is shown to be asymptotically equivalent to (ξ-η)δQ².
