Uniform potential density for rational points on algebraic groups and elliptic K3 surfaces

Abstract: A variety satisfies potential density if it contains a dense subset of rational points after extending its ground field by a finite degree. A collection of varieties satisfies uniform potential density if that degree can be uniformly bounded. I will discuss this property for connected algebraic groups of a fixed dimension and elliptic K3 surfaces. This is joint work with Kuan-Wen Lai.

SFU NT-AG seminar

Series comments: The Number Theory and Algebraic Geometry (NT-AG) seminar is a research seminar dedicated to topics related to number theory and algebraic geometry hosted by the NT-AG group (Nils Bruin, Imin Chen, Stephen Choi, Katrina Honigs, Nathan Ilten, Marni Mishna).

We acknowledge the support of PIMS, NSERC, and SFU.

For Fall 2025, the organizers are Katrina Honigs and Peter McDonald.

We normally meet in-person in the indicated room. For online editions, we use Zoom and distribute the link through the mailing list. If you wish to be put on the mailing list, please subscribe to ntag-external using lists.sfu.ca
