Generating Functions in Algebraic Geometry and Sums over Trees

We calculate generating functions for the Poincare polynomials of moduli spaces of pointed curves of genus zero and of Configuration Spaces of Fulton and MacPherson. We also prove that contributions of multiple coverings of curves in a Calabi-Yau threefold calculated via Kontsevich's compactification coincide with the prediction of Candelas et al., and Aspinwall and Morrison.

Mordell-Weil problem for cubic surfaces

Drawing the secant through two rational points of a cubic surface we can get the third one. Is the set of rational points finitely generated? We discuss some numerical data and prove a finite generation statement with respect to a modified composition law.
