    Zeta functions of monomial deformations of delsarte hypersurfaces

    Full text link
    Let Xλ and X′λ be monomial deformations of two Delsarte hypersurfaces in weighted projective spaces. In this paper we give a sufficient condition so that their zeta functions have a common factor. This generalises results by Doran, Kelly, Salerno, Sperber, Voight and Whitcher [arXiv:1612.09249], where they showed this for a particular monomial deformation of a Calabi-Yau invertible polynomial. It turns out that our factor can be of higher degree than the factor found in [arXiv:1612.09249].This paper is a contribution to the Special Issue on Modular Forms and String Theory in honor of Noriko Yui.

    The average rank of elliptic nn-folds

    Full text link
    Let V/FqV/\mathbb{F}_q be a variety of dimension at least two. We show that the density of elliptic curves E/Fq(V)E/\mathbb{F}_q(V) with positive rank is zero if VV has dimension at least 3 and is at most 1ζV(3)11-ζ_V(3)^{-1} if VV is a surface.Expansion of the discussion of the cycle class map; several minor change

    In this paper we classify all configurations of singular fibers of elliptic fibrations on the double cover of P-2 ramified along six lines in general position

    Extremal elliptic surfaces & Infinitesimal Torelli

    Full text link
    We describe in terms of the j-invariant all elliptic surfaces pi: X -> C with a section, such that h^{1,1}(X)=rank NS(X) and the Mordell-Weil group of pi is finite. We use this to give a complete solution to infinitesimal Torelli for elliptic surfaces with a section over P^1.Comment: 16 pages; 3rd version; small changes to the third and fourth sectio

    Higher Noether-Lefschetz loci of elliptic surfaces

    We calculate the dimension of the locus of Jacobian elliptic surfaces over P-1 with a given Picard number, in the corresponding moduli space

    Nodal surfaces with obstructed deformations

    Full text link
    In this text we show that the deformation space of a nodal surface XX of degree dd is smooth and of the expected dimension if d7d\leq 7 or d8d\geq 8 and XX has at most 4d54d-5 nodes. (The case d7d\leq 7 was previously covered by Alexandru Dimca by using different techniques.) For d8d\geq 8 we give explicit examples of nodal surfaces with 4d44d-4 nodes, for which the tangent space to the deformation space has larger dimension than expected. We give a short discussion on the shape of the deformation space of surfaces of the form f1f2+f32f4f_1f_2+f_3^2f_4, where f1f_1 is a linear form.v2: Added a reference to a similar result by Alexandru Dimca and a discussion on the difference between Dimca\u27s result and ours v3: Expanded several argument

    On the classification of degree 1 elliptic threefolds with constant j-invariant

    No full text
    We describe the possible Mordell-Weil groups for degree 1 elliptic threefold with rational base and constant j-invariant. Moreover, we classify all such elliptic threefolds if the j-invariant is nonzero. We can use this classification to describe a class of singular hypersurfaces in P(2, 3, 1, 1, 1) that admit no variation of Hodge structure (Remark 9.3). 2013 © University of Illinois
