Rational points of bounded height on entire curves

Let $X$ be an affine or a projective variety defined over a number field $K$ and $φ:{\bf C}\to X({\bf C})$ be a holomorphic map with Zariski dense image. We estimate the number of rational points of height bounded by $H$ in the image of a disk of radius $r$ in terms of the the Nevanlinna characteristic function of $φ$ and $H$ in a way which generalize the classical Bombieri--Pila estimate to expanding domains. In general this bound is exponential but we show that for many values of $H$ and $r$, the bound is polynomial.

Campana conjecture for coverings of toric varieties over function fields

We first prove Vojta's abc conjecture over function fields for Campana points on projective toric varieties with high multiplicity along the boundary. As a consequence, we obtain a version of Campana's conjecture on finite coverings of projective toric varieties over function fields.

Simply connectedness and hyperbolicity

We generalize to arbitrary dimension our previous construction of simply connected weakly-special but not special varieties. We show that they satisfy the function field and complex analytic part of Campana's conjecture. Moreover, we give the first examples, in any dimension, of smooth simply connected nonisotrivial projective varieties of general type that satisfy the function field Lang's conjecture.

Sur l'existence du schéma en groupes fondamental

Let $S$ be a Dedekind scheme, $X$ a connected $S$-scheme locally of finite type and $x\in X(S)$ a section. The aim of the present paper is to establish the existence of the fundamental group scheme of $X$, when $X$ has reduced fibers or when $X$ is normal. We also prove the existence of a group scheme, that we will call the quasi-finite fundamental group scheme of $X$ at $x$, which classifies all the quasi-finite torsors over $X$, pointed over $x$. We define Galois torsors, which play in this context a role similar to the one of Galois covers in the theory of étale fundamental group.

Transcendental Liouville inequalities on projective varieties

Let $p$ be an algebraic point of a projective variety $X$ defined over a number field. Liouville inequality tells us that the norm at $p$ of a non vanishing integral global section of an hermitian line bundle over $X$ is either zero or it cannot be too small with respect to the $\sup$ norm of the section itself. We study inequalities similar to Liouville's for subvarietes and for transcendental points of a projective variety defined over a number field. We prove that almost all transcendental points verify a good inequality of Liouville type. We also relate our methods to a (former) conjecture by Chudnowsky and give two applications to the growth of the number of rational points of bounded height on the image of an analytic map from a disk to a projective variety.

Rational vs transcendental points on analytic Riemann surfaces

Let $(X,L)$ be a polarized variety over a number field. We suppose that $L$ is an hermitian line bundle. Let $M$ be a non compact Riemann Surface and $U\subset M$ be a relatively compact open set. Let $φ:M\to X({\Bbb C})$ be a holomorphic map. For every positive real number $T$, let $A_U(T)$ be the cardinality of the set of $z\in U$ such that $φ(z)\in X(K)$ and $h_L(φ(z))\leq T$. After a revisitation of the proof of the sub exponential bound for $A_U(T)$, obtained by Bombieri and Pila , we show that there are intervals of $T$'s as big as we want for which $A_U(T)$ is upper bounded by a polynomial in $T$. We then introduce subsets of type $S$ with respect of $φ$. These are compact subsets of $M$ for which an inequality similar to Liouville inequality on algebraic points holds. We show that, if $M$ contains a subset of type $S$, then, {\it for every value of $T$} the number $A_U(T)$ is bounded by a polynomial in $T$. As a consequence, we show that if $M$ is a smooth leaf of a foliation in curves then $A_U(T)$ is bounded by a polynomial in $T$. Let $S(X)$ be the subset (full for the Lebesgue measure) of points which verify some kind of Liouville inequalities. In the second part we prove that $φ^{-1}(S(X))\neq\emptyset$ if and only if $φ^{-1}(S(X))$ is full for the Lebesgue measure on $M$.

On some differences between number fields and function fields

The analogy between the arithmetic of varieties over number fields and the arithmetic of varieties over function fields is a leading theme in arithmetic geometry. This analogy is very powerful but there are some gaps. In this note we will show how the presence of isotrivial varieties over function fields (the analogous of which do not seems to exist over number fields) breaks this analogy. Some counterexamples to a statement similar to Northcott Theorem are proposed. In positive characteristic, some explicit counterexamples to statements similar to Lang and Vojta conjectures are given.

On the canonical degrees of curves in varieties of general type

A widely believed conjecture predicts that curves of bounded geometric genus lying on a variety of general type form a bounded family. One may even ask whether the canonical degree of a curve $C$ in a variety of general type is bounded from above by some expression $aχ(C)+b$, where $a$ and $b$ are positive constants, with the possible exceptions corresponding to curves lying in a strict closed subset (depending on $a$ and $b$). A theorem of Miyaoka proves this for smooth curves in minimal surfaces, with $a>3/2$. A conjecture of Vojta claims in essence that any constant $a>1$ is possible provided one restricts oneself to curves of bounded gonality. We show by explicit examples coming from the theory of Shimura varieties that in general, the constant $a$ has to be at least equal to the dimension of the ambient variety. We also prove the desired inequality in the case of compact Shimura varieties.

Horizontal sections of connections on curves and transcendence

Let $K$ be a number field, $\UX$ be a smooth projective curve over it and $D$ be a reduced divisor on $\UX$. Let $(E,\nabla)$ be a fibre bundle with connection having meromorphic poles on $D$. Let $p_1,...,p_s\in\UX(K)$ and $X:=\UX\setminus\{D,p_1,..., p_s\}$ (the $p_j$'s may be in the support of $D$). Using tools from Nevanlinna theory and formal geometry, we give the definition of $E$--section of type $α$ of the vector bundle $E$ with respect to the points $p_j$; this is the natural generalization of the notion of $E$ function defined in Siegel Shidlowski theory. We prove that the value of a $E$--section of type $α$ in an algebraic point different from the $p_j$'s has maximal transcendence degree. Siegel Shidlowski theorem is a special case of the theorem proved. We give an application to isomonodromic connections.

The strong $ABC$ conjecture over function fields (after McQuillan and Yamanoi)

The $abc$ conjecture predicts a highly non trivial upper bound for the height of an algebraic point in terms of its discriminant and its intersection with a fixed divisor of the projective line counted without multiplicity. We describe the two independent proofs of the strong $abc$ conjecture over function fields given by McQuillan and Yamanoi. The first proof relies on tools from differential and algebraic geometry; the second relies on analytic and topological methods. They correspond respectively to the Nevanlinna and the Ahlfors approach to the Nevanlinna Second Main Theorem.

Dyson's theorem for curves

Let $\scriptstyle K$ be a number field and $\scriptstyle X_1$ and $\scriptstyle X_2$ two smooth projective curves defined over it. In this paper we prove an analogue of the Dyson Theorem for the product $\scriptstyle X_1 \times X_2$. If $\scriptstyle X_i = {\bb P}_1$ we find the classical Dyson theorem. In general, it will imply a self contained and easy proof of Siegel theorem on integral points on hyperbolic curves and it will give some insight on effectiveness. This proof is new and avoids the use of Roth and Mordell-Weil theorems, the theory of Linear Forms in Logarithms and the Schmidt subspace theorem.

Analytic subvarieties with many rational points

We give a generalization of the classical Bombieri--Schneider--Lang criterion in transcendence theory. We give a local notion of $LG$--germ, which is similar to the notion of $E$-- function and Gevrey condition, and which generalize (and replace) the condition on derivatives in the theorem quoted above. Let $K\subset \Bbb C$ be a number field and $X$ a quasi--projective variety defined over $K$. Let $γ\colon M\to X$ be an holomorphic map of finite order from a parabolic Riemann surface to $X$ such that the Zariski closure of the image of it is strictly bigger then one. Suppose that for every $p\in X(K)\capγ(M)$ the formal germ of $M$ near $P$ is an $LG$-- germ, then we prove that $X(K)\capγ(M)$ is a finite set. Then we define the notion of conformally parabolic Khäler varieties; this generalize the notion of parabolic Riemann surface. We show that on these varieties we can define a value distribution theory. The complementary of a divisor on a compact Khäler manifold is conformally parabolic; in particular every quasi projective variety is. Suppose that $A$ is conformally parabolic variety of dimension $m$ over $\Bbb C$ with Khäler form $ω$ and $γ\colon A\to X$ is an holomorphic map of finite order such that the Zariski closure of the image is strictly bigger then $m$. Suppose that for every $p\in X(K)\cap γ(A)$, the image of $A$ is an $LG$--germ. then we prove that there exists a current $T$ on $A$ of bidegree $(1,1)$ such that $\int_AT\wedgeω^{m-1}$ explicitly bounded and with Lelong number bigger or equal then one on each point in $γ^{-1}(X(K))$. In particular if $A$ is affine $γ^{-1}(X(K))$ is not Zariski dense.

Heights and Geometric Invariant Theory

Let $K$ be a number field, $\OK$ be its ring of integers. We introduce the notion of compactified representation of $GL_N(\OK)$ and, we see how to associate to a hermitian vector bundle $\E$ over $\Spec(\OK)$ and a compactified representation $\T$, a hermitian tensor bundle $\E_T$. We can prove then that there exists a lower bound for the heights of points $x\in¶(\E_T)$ with $SL_N(K)$--semistable generic fibre in terms of the degree of $\E$ and some universal constants depending only on the compactified representation. We give then three applications: a universal lower bound for general flag varieties, an application to the adjoint representation of $SL_N(K)$ and a construction of a height on the moduli space of semistable vector bundles over algebraic curves.
