Torification and Factorization of Birational Maps 3
TORIFICATION AND FACTORIZATION OF BIRATIONAL MAPS DAN ABRAMOVICH, KALLE KARU, KENJI MATSUKI, AND JAROSLAW WLODARCZYK Abstract. Building on work of the fourth author in [69], we prove the weak factorization conjecture for birational maps in characteristic zero: a birational map between complete nonsingular varieties over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic zero is a composite of blowings up and blowings down with smooth centers.

Interview with Mathmedia

Doing this interview is a pleasure. I didn’t expect this. Frans Oort (OORT): The pleasure is mine. It’s a surprise for both of us. CHAI: There is a ritual that we first invite people to talk about their formative years which is always interesting because people’s backgrounds are all different. Would you like to say something about your formative years or when you are younger and decided to go to mathematics? Some people believe that mathematicians are born. The beginning1 OORT: Let me first say something about life as a mathematician, and later I will tell some stories about my personal life. For me it is a surprise you can be together with other people, with different cultural backgrounds, in history, in bringing up, with parents on the one hand, while on the other hand you can be so close to other people. With other mathematicians all of a sudden you understand each other on a much higher level than you ever thought possible. This is one of the most exciting things I have seen in my life. Certainly this is true with my collaborator here; with Ching-Li I have so much in common, and we understand each other. I think mathematically we have a deep contact and I am very grateful for that. -

New York Journal of Mathematics New York J. Math. 2 (1996) 20–34. Lang’s Conjectures, Fibered Powers, and Uniformity Dan Abramovich and Jos´e Felipe Voloch Abstract. We prove that the fibered power conjecture of Caporaso et al. (Con- jecture H, [CHM], §6) together with Lang’s conjecture implies the uniformity of rational points on varieties of general type, as predicted in [CHM]; a few applications on the arithmetic and geometry of curves are stated. In an opposite direction, we give counterexamples to some analogous results in positive characteristic. We show that curves that change genus can have arbitrarily many rational points; and that curves over Fp(t) can have arbitrarily many Frobenius orbits of non-constant points. Contents 1.

Balanced Line Bundles on Fano Varieties
BALANCED LINE BUNDLES ON FANO VARIETIES BRIAN LEHMANN, SHO TANIMOTO, AND YURI TSCHINKEL Abstract. A conjecture of Batyrev and Manin relates arithmetic properties of varieties with ample anticanonical class to geometric invariants; in particular, counting functions defined by metrized ample line bundles and the corresponding asymptotics of rational points of bounded height are interpreted in terms of cones of ef- fective divisors and certain thresholds with respect to these cones. This framework leads to the notion of balanced line bundles, whose counting functions, conjecturally, capture generic distributions of rational points. We investigate balanced line bundles in the con- text of the Minimal Model Program, with special regard to the classification of Fano threefolds. 1. Introduction Let X be a smooth projective variety defined over a number field F and = (L, ) an ample, adelically metrized, line bundle on X. Such lineL bundlesk·k give rise to height functions X(F ) R>0 x → H (x) 7→ L on the set of F -rational points (see, e.g., [CLT01, Section 1.3] for the definitions). A basic result is that the associated counting function arXiv:1409.5901v1 [math.AG] 20 Sep 2014 N(X(F ), , B) := # x X(F ) H (x) B L { ∈ | L ≤ } is finite, for each B R. Conjectures of Manin and Batyrev-Manin concern the asymptotic∈ behavior of N(X, , B), as B , for Fano L → ∞ varieties, i.e., varieties X with ample anticanical class KX . The con- jectures predict that this asymptotic is controlled by the− geometry of X and L [BM90]. More precisely, define the geometric constants a(X, L) = min t R t[L] + [K ] Λ (X) . -

UNIFORMITY OF STABLY INTEGRAL POINTS ON PRINCIPALLY POLARIZED ABELIAN VARIETIES OF DIMENSION ≤ 2 DAN ABRAMOVICH AND KENJI MATSUKI Abstract. The purpose of this paper is to prove, assuming that the conjecture of Lang and Vojta holds true, that there is a uniform bound on the number of stably integral points in the complement of the theta divisor on a principally polarized abelian surface defined over a number field. Most of our argument works in arbitrary dimension and the restriction on the dimension ≤ 2 is used only at the last step, where we apply Pacelli’s stronger uniformity results for elliptic curves. Preliminary version, July 13, 2021. 0. Introduction 0.1. The conjecture of Lang and Vojta. Let X be a variety over a field of characteristic 0. We say that X is a variety of logarithmic general type, if there exists a desingularization X˜ → X, and a projective embedding X˜ ⊂ Y where D = Y X˜ is a divisor of normal crossings, such that the invertible sheaf ωY (D) is big. We note first that this peoperty is independent of the choices of X˜ and Y , and that it is a proper birational invariant, namely, if X′ → X is a proper birational morphism (or an inverse of such) then X is of logarithmic general type if and only if X′ is. Now let X be a variety of logarithmic general type defined over a number field K. Let S be a finite set of places in K and let OK,S ⊂ K be the ring of S-integers. Fix a model X of X over OK,S. -
