Geometry-of-numbers methods over global fields II: Coregular representations

Manjul Bhargava, Arul Shankar, Xiaoheng Wang

We develop geometry-of-numbers methods to count orbits in coregular vector spaces having bounded invariants over any global field. We apply these techniques to bound the average ra…

Squarefree values of polynomial discriminants II

Manjul Bhargava, Arul Shankar, Xiaoheng Wang

We determine the density of integral binary forms of given degree that have squarefree discriminant, proving for the first time that the lower density is positive. Furthermore, we…

An improvement on Schmidt's bound on the number of number fields of bounded discriminant and small degree

Manjul Bhargava, Arul Shankar, Xiaoheng Wang

We prove an improvement on Schmidt's upper bound on the number of number fields of degree and absolute discriminant less than X for . We carry this out by imp…

On the squarefree values of

Gian Cordana Sanjaya, Xiaoheng Wang

In this article, we prove that the density of integers such that is squarefree, when ordered by , equals the conjectured product of th…

Squarefree values of polynomial discriminants I

Manjul Bhargava, Arul Shankar, Xiaoheng Wang

We determine the density of monic integer polynomials of given degree that have squarefree discriminant; in particular, we prove for the first time that the lower density of…

Geometry-of-numbers methods over global fields I: Prehomogeneous vector spaces

Manjul Bhargava, Arul Shankar, Xiaoheng Wang

We develop geometry-of-numbers methods to count orbits in prehomogeneous vector spaces having bounded invariants over any global field. As our primary example, we apply these techn…

A positive proportion of locally soluble hyperelliptic curves over have no point over any odd degree extension

Manjul Bhargava, Benedict H. Gross, Xiaoheng Wang

A hyperelliptic curve over is called "locally soluble" if it has a point over every completion of . In this paper, we prove that a positive proportion of hyp…

Average size of the 2-Selmer group of Jacobians of monic even hyperelliptic curves

Arul Shankar, Xiaoheng Wang

In [5], Manjul Bhargava and Benedict Gross considered the family of hyperelliptic curves over $\Q$ having a fixed genus and a marked rational Weierstrass point. They showed that th…

Maximal linear spaces contained in the base loci of pencils of quadrics

Xiaoheng Wang

The geometry of the Fano scheme of maximal linear spaces contained in the base locus of a pencil of quadrics has been studied by algebraic geometers when the base field is algebrai…
