Fermat near misses and the integral Hilbert Property
Jessica Alessandrì, Daniel Loughran
We consider the Diophantine equation for , which is related to near misses for the quartic case of Fermat's Last Theorem. For certain we…

Lower bounds for counting -quartic fields
Daniel Loughran, Ross Paterson
A conjecture of Malle predicts the quantity of number fields with bounded discriminant of given Galois group. We present a lower bound matching this in the case of quartic fields w…

Rational points in a family of conics over
Daniel Loughran, Judith Ortmann
Serre famously showed that almost all plane conics over have no rational point. We investigate versions of this over global function fields, focusing on a specific fam…
