Algebraic leaves of algebraic foliations over number fields

Jean-Benoît Bost (2001)

Publications Mathématiques de l'IHÉS

We prove an algebraicity criterion for leaves of algebraic foliations defined over number fields. Namely, consider a number field K embedded in C , a smooth algebraic variety X over K , equipped with a K - rational point P , and F an algebraic subbundle of the its tangent bundle T X , defined over K . Assume moreover that the vector bundle F is involutive, i.e., closed under Lie bracket. Then it defines an holomorphic foliation of the analytic manifold X ( C ) , and one may consider its leaf F through P . We prove...

Algebraic S-integers of fixed degree and bounded height

Fabrizio Barroero (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

Let k be a number field and S a finite set of places of k containing the archimedean ones. We count the number of algebraic points of bounded height whose coordinates lie in the ring of S-integers of k. Moreover, we give an asymptotic formula for the number of S̅-integers of bounded height and fixed degree over k, where S̅ is the set of places of k̅ lying above the ones in S.

Almost powers in the Lucas sequence

Yann Bugeaud, Florian Luca, Maurice Mignotte, Samir Siksek (2008)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

The famous problem of determining all perfect powers in the Fibonacci sequence ( F n ) n 0 and in the Lucas sequence ( L n ) n 0 has recently been resolved [10]. The proofs of those results combine modular techniques from Wiles’ proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem with classical techniques from Baker’s theory and Diophantine approximation. In this paper, we solve the Diophantine equations L n = q a y p , with a > 0 and p 2 , for all primes q < 1087 and indeed for all but 13 primes q < 10 6 . Here the strategy of [10] is not sufficient due to the sizes of...

An a b c d theorem over function fields and applications

Pietro Corvaja, Umberto Zannier (2011)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

We provide a lower bound for the number of distinct zeros of a sum 1 + u + v for two rational functions u , v , in term of the degree of u , v , which is sharp whenever u , v have few distinct zeros and poles compared to their degree. This sharpens the “ a b c d -theorem” of Brownawell-Masser and Voloch in some cases which are sufficient to obtain new finiteness results on diophantine equations over function fields. For instance, we show that the Fermat-type surface x a + y a + z c = 1 contains only finitely many rational or elliptic curves,...

An alternative description of the Drinfeld p -adic half-plane

Stephen Kudla, Michael Rapoport (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We show that the Deligne formal model of the Drinfeld p -adic half-plane relative to a local field F represents a moduli problem of polarized O F -modules with an action of the ring of integers in a quadratic extension E of F . The proof proceeds by establishing a comparison isomorphism with the Drinfeld moduli problem. This isomorphism reflects the accidental isomorphism of SL 2 ( F ) and SU ( C ) ( F ) for a two-dimensional split hermitian space C for E / F .
