On the conjectures of Mordell and Lang in positive characteristics.
We study coprime integer solutions to the equation a³ + b³ⁿ = c² using Galois representations and modular forms. This case represents perhaps the last natural family of generalized Fermat equations descended from spherical cases which is amenable to resolution using the so-called modular method. Our techniques involve an elaborate combination of ingredients, ranging from ℚ-curves and a delicate multi-Frey approach, to appeal to intricate image of inertia arguments.
We obtain an estimate on the average cardinality (d,s,a) of the value set of any family of monic polynomials in of degree d for which s consecutive coefficients are fixed. Our estimate asserts that , where . We also prove that , where ₂(d,s,a) is the average second moment of the value set cardinalities for any family of monic polynomials of of degree d with s consecutive coefficients fixed as above. Finally, we show that , where ₂(d,0) denotes the average second moment for all monic polynomials...
This article gives a description, by means of functorial intrinsic fibrations, of the geometric structure (and conjecturally also of the Kobayashi pseudometric, as well as of the arithmetic in the projective case) of compact Kähler manifolds. We first define special manifolds as being the compact Kähler manifolds with no meromorphic map onto an orbifold of general type, the orbifold structure on the base being given by the divisor of multiple fibres. We next show that rationally connected Kähler...
For any compact Kähler manifold and for any equivalence relation generated by a symmetric binary relation with compact analytic graph in , the existence of a meromorphic quotient is known from Inv. Math. 63 (1981). We give here a simplified and detailed proof of the existence of such quotients, following the approach of that paper. These quotients are used in one of the two constructions of the core of given in the previous paper of this fascicule, as well as in many other questions.
