On some estimates and topological properties of relative orbits of subsets

In this paper, we give some topological properties and estimates of orbit of certain subsets of [Formula: see text]-points of varieties under actions of algebraic tori. These results are concerned with an analogue of Bruhat-Tits’ question on the set of [Formula: see text]-adic integral points of algebraic tori.

COMPARISON OF KUMMER LOGARITHMIC TOPOLOGIES WITH CLASSICAL TOPOLOGIES

We compare the Kummer flat (resp., Kummer étale) cohomology with the flat (resp., étale) cohomology with coefficients in smooth commutative group schemes, finite flat group schemes, and Kato’s logarithmic multiplicative group. We are particularly interested in the case of algebraic tori in the Kummer flat topology. We also make some computations for certain special cases of the base log scheme.

CLASS NUMBERS OF CM ALGEBRAIC TORI, CM ABELIAN VARIETIES AND COMPONENTS OF UNITARY SHIMURA VARIETIES

We give a formula for the class number of an arbitrary complex mutliplication (CM) algebraic torus over $\mathbb {Q}$ . This is proved based on results of Ono and Shyr. As applications, we give formulas for numbers of polarized CM abelian varieties, of connected components of unitary Shimura varieties and of certain polarized abelian varieties over finite fields. We also give a second proof of our main result.

Greatest common divisors of analytic functions and Nevanlinna theory on algebraic tori

We study upper bounds for the counting function of common zeros of two meromorphic functions in various contexts. The proofs and results are inspired by recent work involving greatest common divisors in Diophantine approximation, to which we introduce additional techniques to take advantage of the stronger inequalities available in Nevanlinna theory. In particular, we prove a general version of a conjectural “asymptotic gcd” inequality of Pasten and the second author, and consider moving targets versions of our results.

Algebraic construction of quasi-split algebraic tori

The main purpose of this work is to give a constructive proof for a particular case of the no-name lemma. Let [Formula: see text] be a finite group, [Formula: see text] a field that is equipped with a faithful [Formula: see text]-action, and [Formula: see text] a sign permutation [Formula: see text]-lattice (see the Introduction for the definition). Then [Formula: see text] acts naturally on the group algebra [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] over [Formula: see text], and hence also on the quotient field [Formula: see text]. A well-known variant of the no-name lemma asserts that the invariant sub-field [Formula: see text] is a purely transcendental extension of [Formula: see text]. In other words, there exist [Formula: see text] which are algebraically independent over [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we give an explicit construction of suitable elements [Formula: see text].
