E8 and the average size of the 3‐Selmer group of the Jacobian of a pointed genus‐2 curve
Abstract We prove that the average size of the 3‐Selmer group of a genus‐2 curve with a marked Weierstrass point is 4. We accomplish this by studying rational and integral orbits in the representation associated to a stably Z/3Z‐graded simple Lie algebra of type E8.

Arithmetic hyperbolicity and a stacky Chevalley–Weil theorem
Abstract We prove an analogue for algebraic stacks of Hermite–Minkowski's finiteness theorem from algebraic number theory, and establish a Chevalley–Weil type theorem for integral points on stacks. As an application of our results, we prove analogues of the Shafarevich conjecture for some surfaces of general type.

RATIONAL CURVES ON CUBIC HYPERSURFACES OVER FINITE FIELDS
Abstract Given a smooth cubic hypersurface X over a finite field of characteristic greater than 3 and two generic points on X, we use a function field analogue of the Hardy–Littlewood circle method to obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of degree d k‐rational curves on X passing through those two points.

Brauer–Manin obstruction for Erdős–Straus surfaces
Abstract We study the failure of the integral Hasse principle and strong approximation for the Erdős–Straus conjecture using the Brauer–Manin obstruction.

How to generate all integral triangles containing a given angle
We present an elementary prescription based on the rational secant method for generating all the integral triangles containing a given angle of rational cosine. This is a direct generalization of the ancient problem of finding all the Pythagorean triples. As an example, we discuss a specific equation studied by Diophantus of Alexandria, which turns out

$E_{6}$ AND THE ARITHMETIC OF A FAMILY OF NON-HYPERELLIPTIC CURVES OF GENUS 3
We study the arithmetic of a family of non-hyperelliptic curves of genus 3 over the field $\mathbb{Q}$ of rational numbers. These curves are the nearby fibers of the semi-universal deformation of a simple singularity of type $E_{6}$. We show that average

Sums and differences of four k-th powers [PDF]
We prove an upper bound for the number of representations of a positive integer $N$ as the sum of four $k$-th powers of integers of size at most $B$, using a new version of the Determinant method developed by Heath-Brown, along with recent results by ...

NON-ARCHIMEDEAN YOMDIN–GROMOV PARAMETRIZATIONS AND POINTS OF BOUNDED HEIGHT
We prove an analog of the Yomdin–Gromov lemma for $p$-adic definable sets and more broadly in a non-Archimedean definable context. This analog keeps track of piecewise approximation by Taylor polynomials, a nontrivial aspect in the totally disconnected ...

The set of non-squares in a number field is diophantine
Fix a number field k. We prove that k* - k*^2 is diophantine over k. This is deduced from a theorem that for a nonconstant separable polynomial P(x) in k[x], there are at most finitely many a in k* modulo squares such that there is a Brauer-Manin ...

Rational torsion points on Jacobians of modular curves
Let $p$ be a prime greater than 3. Consider the modular curve $X_0(3p)$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ and its Jacobian variety $J_0(3p)$ over $\mathbb{Q}$. Let $\mathcal{T}(3p)$ and $\mathcal{C}(3p)$ be the group of rational torsion points on $J_0(3p)$ and the ...
