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 ${\mathrm{SL}}_2\left(F\right)$ and $\mathrm{SU}\left(C\right)\left(F\right)$ for a two-dimensional split hermitian space $C$ for $E/F$.

Let $E/Q$ be a modular elliptic curve, and let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field. We show that the $p$-Selmer group of $E$ over certain finite anticyclotomic extensions of $K$, modulo the universal norms, is annihilated by the «characteristic ideal» of the universal norms modulo the Heegner points. We also extend this result to the anticyclotomic ${\mathbb{Z}}_p$-extension of $K$. This refines in the current contest a result of [1].

We give an Arakelov theoretic proof of the equality of conductor and discriminant.

Number fields can be viewed as analogues of curves over fields. Here we use metrized line bundles as analogues of divisors on curves. Van der Geer and Schoof gave a definition of a function $h^0$ on metrized line bundles that resembles properties of the dimension $l\left(D\right)$ of $H^0(X,ℒ\left(D\right))$, where $D$ is a divisor on a curve $X$. In particular, they get a direct analogue of the Rieman-Roch theorem. For three theorems of curves, notably Clifford’s theorem, we will propose arithmetic analogues.

Let $(𝒪,\sum ,F_{\infty })$ be an arithmetic ring of Krull dimension at most $1,S=\text{Spec}\left(𝒪\right)$ and $(𝒳\to S;{\sigma }_1,...,{\sigma }_n)$ a pointed stable curve. Write $𝒰=𝒳\setminus {\cup }_j{\sigma }_j\left(S\right)$. For every integer $k>0$, the invertible sheaf ${\omega }_{𝒳/S}^{k+1}(k{\sigma }_1+...+k{\sigma }_n)$ inherits a singular hermitian structure from the hyperbolic metric on the Riemann surface ${𝒰}_{\infty }$. In this article we define a Quillen type metric ${∥·∥}_Q$ on the determinant line ${\lambda }_{k+1}=\lambda {\omega }_{𝒳/S}^{k+1}$$(k...$

Let $(𝒪,\Sigma ,F_{\infty })$ be an arithmetic ring of Krull dimension at most 1, $𝒮=\mathrm{Spec}𝒪$ and $(\pi :𝒳\to 𝒮;{\sigma }_1,...,{\sigma }_n)$ an $n$-pointed stable curve of genus $g$. Write $𝒰=𝒳\setminus {\cup }_j{\sigma }_j\left(𝒮\right)$. The invertible sheaf ${\omega }_{𝒳/𝒮}({\sigma }_1+\cdots +{\sigma }_n)$ inherits a hermitian structure ${\parallel ·\parallel }_{\mathrm{hyp}}$ from the dual of the hyperbolic metric on the Riemann surface ${𝒰}_{\infty }$. In this article we prove an arithmetic Riemann-Roch type theorem that computes the arithmetic self-intersection of ${\omega }_{𝒳/𝒮}{({\sigma }_1+...+{\sigma }_n)}_{\mathrm{hyp}}$. The theorem is applied to modular curves $X\left(\Gamma \right)$, $\Gamma ={\Gamma }_0\left(p\right)$ or ${\Gamma }_1\left(p\right)$, $p\ge 11$ prime, with sections given by the cusps. We show $Z^{\text{'}}(Y\left(\Gamma \right),1)\sim e^a{\pi }^b{\Gamma }_2{(1/2)}^{c}L(0,{ℳ}_{\Gamma })$, with $p\equiv 11mod12$ when $\Gamma ={\Gamma }_0\left(p\right)$. Here $Z\left(Y\right(\Gamma ),s)$ is the Selberg zeta...

We prove an analog in Arakelov geometry of the Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem.

In previous articles, we showed that for number fields in a certain large class, there are at most elliptic points on a Shimura curve of Γ₀(p)-type for every sufficiently large prime number p. In this article, we obtain an effective bound for such p.

We prove some new effective results of André-Oort type. In particular, we state certain uniform improvements of the main result in [L. Kühne, Ann. of Math. 176 (2012), 651-671]. We also show that the equation X + Y = 1 has no solution in singular moduli. As a by-product, we indicate a simple trick rendering André's proof of the André-Oort conjecture effective. A significantly new aspect is the usage of both the Siegel-Tatuzawa theorem and the weak effective lower bound on the class number of an...

Néron showed that an elliptic surface with rank $8$, and with base $B=P_1\mathbb{Q}$, and geometric genus $=0$, may be obtained by blowing up $9$ points in the plane. In this paper, we obtain parameterizations of the coefficients of the Weierstrass equations of such elliptic surfaces, in terms of the $9$ points. Manin also describes bases of the Mordell-Weil groups of these elliptic surfaces, in terms of the $9$ points ; we observe that, relative to the Weierstrass form of the equation,$$Y^2=X^3+A{X}^2+BX+C$$(with $deg\left(A\right)\le 2,deg\left(B\right)\le 4$, and $deg\left(C\right)\le 6)$ a basis $\left\{(X_1,Y_1),\cdots ,(X_8,Y_8)\right\}$ can be found...
