AbstractLet p be a prime number and F a field containing a root of unity of order p. We relate recent results on vanishing of triple Massey products in the mod-p Galois cohomology of F, due to Hopkins, Wickelgren, Mináč, and Tân, to classical results in the theory of central simple algebras. We prove a stronger form of the vanishing property for global fields.

Abstract Let 𝑝 be a prime. We produce two new families of pro-𝑝 groups which are not realizable as absolute Galois groups of fields. To prove this, we use the 1-smoothness property of absolute Galois pro-𝑝 groups. Moreover, we show in these families, one has several pro-𝑝 groups which may not be ruled out as absolute Galois groups employing the quadraticity of Galois cohomology (a consequence of the norm residue theorem), or the vanishing of Massey products in Galois cohomology.

AbstractWe prove some new results on the arithmetic of abelian varieties over function fields of one variable over finitely generated (infinite) fields. Among other things, we introduce certain new natural objects “discrete Selmer groups” and “discrete Shafarevich–Tate groups”, and prove that they are finitely generated {\mathbb{Z}}-modules. Further, we prove that in the isotrivial case, the discrete Shafarevich–Tate group vanishes and the discrete Selmer group coincides with the Mordell–Weil group. One of the key ingredients to prove these results is a new specialisation theorem for first Galois cohomology groups, which generalises Néron’s specialisation theorem for rational points of abelian varieties.

In this paper, we develop a new necessary and sufficient condition for the vanishing of $4$-Massey products of elements in the modulo-$2$ Galois cohomology of a field. This new description allows us to define a splitting variety for $4$-Massey products, which is shown in the appendix to satisfy a local-to-global principle over number fields. As a consequence, we prove that, for a number field, all such $4$-Massey products vanish whenever they are defined. This provides new explicit restrictions on the structure of absolute Galois groups of number fields.

Abstract We develop the relationship between quaternionic hyperbolic geometry and arithmetic counting or equidistribution applications, that arises from the action of arithmetic groups on quaternionic hyperbolic spaces, especially in dimension 2. We prove a Mertens counting formula for the rational points over a definite quaternion algebra A over ${\mathbb{Q}}$ in the light cone of quaternionic Hermitian forms, as well as a Neville equidistribution theorem of the set of rational points over A in quaternionic Heisenberg groups.

AbstractWe study the density of rational points on a higher-dimensional orbifold $$(\mathbb {P}^{n-1},\Delta )$$ ( P n - 1 , Δ ) when $$\Delta $$ Δ is a $$\mathbb {Q}$$ Q -divisor involving hyperplanes. This allows us to address a question of Tanimoto about whether the set of rational points on such an orbifold constitutes a thin set. Our approach relies on the Hardy–Littlewood circle method to first study an asymptotic version of Waring’s problem for mixed powers. In doing so we make crucial use of the recent resolution of the main conjecture in Vinogradov’s mean value theorem, due to Bourgain–Demeter–Guth and Wooley.

For $n=2$ the statement in the title is a theorem of B. Poonen (2009). He uses a one-parameter family of varieties together with a theorem of Coray, Sansuc and one of the authors (1980), on the Brauer–Manin obstruction for rational points on these varieties. For $n=p$, $p$ any prime number, A. Várilly-Alvarado and B. Viray (2012) considered analogous families of varieties. Replacing this family by its $(2p+1)$th symmetric power, we prove the statement in the title using a theorem on the Brauer–Manin obstruction for rational points on such symmetric powers. The latter theorem is based on work of one of the authors with Swinnerton-Dyer (1994) and with Skorobogatov and Swinnerton-Dyer (1998), work generalising results of Salberger (1988).
