Finiteness theorems on elliptical billiards and a variant of the dynamical Mordell–Lang conjecture
Abstract We offer some theorems, mainly finiteness results, for certain patterns in elliptical billiards, related to periodic trajectories; these seem to be the first finiteness results in this context. For instance, if two players hit a ball at a given position and with directions forming a fixed angle in (0,π)$(0,\pi )$, there are only finitely many ...

A sharp upper bound for the 2‐torsion of class groups of multiquadratic fields
Abstract Let K be a multiquadratic extension of Q$\mathbb {Q}$ and let Cl+(K)$\text{Cl}^{+}(K)$ be its narrow class group. Recently, the authors (Koymans and Pagano, Int. Math. Res. Not. 2022 (2022), no. 4, 2772–2823) gave a bound for |Cl+(K)[2]|$|\text{Cl}^{+}(K)[2]|$ only in terms of the degree of K and the number of ramifying primes.

Continued Fractions and Hankel Determinants from Hyperelliptic Curves
Abstract Following van der Poorten, we consider a family of nonlinear maps that are generated from the continued fraction expansion of a function on a hyperelliptic curve of genus g. Using the connection with the classical theory of J‐fractions and orthogonal polynomials, we show that in the simplest case g = 1 this provides a straightforward ...

Abstract Generalized predictive control (GPC) is promising for permanent magnet synchronous machine drive systems, due to its outstanding dynamic performance and disturbance rejection capability. However, the speed measurement noise introduced by the encoder and the unmodelled disturbances introduced by the non‐ideal machine characteristics deteriorate

Central L‐values of elliptic curves and local polynomials
Abstract Here we study the recently introduced notion of a locally harmonic Maass form and its applications to the theory of L‐functions. In particular, we find a criterion for vanishing of certain twisted central L‐values of a family of elliptic curves, whereby vanishing occurs precisely when the values of two finite sums over canonical binary ...

Abstract Using a two‐dimensional version of the delta method, we establish an asymptotic formula for the number of rational points of bounded height on non‐singular complete intersections of cubic and quadric hypersurfaces of dimension at least 23 over Fq(t)$\mathbb {F}_q(t)$, provided char(Fq)>3$\operatorname{char}(\mathbb {F}_q)>3$.

Abstract The diffeomorphism class of simply connected smooth Calabi‐Yau threefolds with torsion‐free cohomology is determined via certain basic topological invariants: the Hodge numbers, the triple intersection form, and the second Chern class.

Birational maps with transcendental dynamical degree
Abstract We give examples of birational selfmaps of Pd,d⩾3$\mathbb {P}^d, d \geqslant 3$, whose dynamical degree is a transcendental number. This contradicts a conjecture by Bellon and Viallet. The proof uses a combination of techniques from algebraic dynamics and diophantine approximation.
