Non-reducedness of the Hilbert schemes of few points (2021) arXiv e-prints: 2109.11805
Existential closedness of $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$ as a globally valued field via Arakelov geometry (2023) arXiv e-prints: 2306.06275
I work with model theory of some algebraic structures and I am interested in connections between those two areas.
Currently I am working under supervision of Ehud Hrushovski and I am studying Globally Valued Fields (GVFs). I am working on analouges of theorems known for $\overline{k(t)}[1]$ (the geometric case) in the $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}[1]$ (arithmetic case). Since in the geometric case intersection theory and cones of curves are used, in the arithmetic case tools like Arakelov geometry, Berkovich spaces and heights are relevant.
