Articles

On the Davenport–Heilbronn theorems and second order terms

Inventiones mathematicae

2013

We give simple proofs of the Davenport–Heilbronn theorems, which provide the main terms in the asymptotics for the number of cubic fields having bounded discriminant and for the number of 3-torsion elements in the class groups of quadratic fields having ...

The André–Oort conjecture for the moduli space of abelian surfaces

Compositio Mathematica

2013

We provide an unconditional proof of the André–Oort conjecture for the coarse moduli space A2,1 of principally polarized abelian surfaces, following the strategy outlined by Pila–Zannier. ... Let Ag,1 denote the coarse moduli space of principally polarized abelian ...

Brauer-Siegel for arithmetic tori and lower bounds for Galois orbits of special points

Journal of the American Mathematical Society

2012

Shyr derived an analogue of Dirichlet's class number formula for arithmetic tori. We use this formula to derive a Brauer-Siegel formula for tori, relating the discriminant of a torus to the product of its regulator and class number. We apply this formula to derive ...
