Zariski's finiteness theorem

In algebra, Zariski's finiteness theorem gives a positive answer to Hilbert's 14th problem for the polynomial ring in two variables, as a special case. Precisely, it states: Given a normal domain A, finitely generated as an algebra over a field k, if L is a subfield of the field of fractions of A containing k such that , then the k-subalgebra is finitely generated.

On Zaremba's Conjecture on Continued Fractions - Jean Bourgain

Jean Bourgain Institute for Advanced Study February 14, 2012 Zaremba's 1971 conjecture predicts that every integer appears as the denominator of a finite continued fraction whose partial quotients are bounded by an absolute constant. We confirm this conjecture for a set of density one. Fo

Abstract: In the mid-90’s, generalising a theorem of Jouanolou, Hrushovski proved that if a D-variety over the constant field C has no non-constant D-rational functions to C, then it has only finitely many D-subvarieties of codimension one. This theorem has analogues in other geometric con

Weil conjectures 6: etale cohomology of a curve

We give an overview of how to calculate the etale cohomology of a nonsinguar projective curve over an algebraically closed field with coefficients Z/nZ with n invertible. We simply assume a lot of properties of etale cohomology without proving (or even defining) them.
