Points entiers et rationnels sur des courbes et variétés modulaires de dimension supérieure

This thesis concerns the study of integral and rational points on some modular curves and varieties. After a brief introduction which describes the motivation and the setting of this topic as well as the main results of this thesis, the manuscript follows a threefold development. The first chapter focuses on Q-curves, and on the morphisms Gal(Q/Q) -> PGL2(Fp) that we can build with a Q-curve for every prime p. We prove that, under good hypotheses, for p large enough with respect to the discriminant of the definition field of the Q-curve, such a morphism is surjective, which solves a particular case of Serre's uniformity problem (still open in general). The main tools of the chapter are Mazur's method (based here on results of Ellenberg), Runge's method, and isogeny theorems, following the strategy of Bilu and Parent. The second chapter covers analytic estimates of weighted sums of L-function values of modular forms, in the fashion of techniques designed by Duke and Ellenberg. The initial goal of such a result is the application of Mazur's method in the first chapter. The third chapter is devoted to the search for generalisations of Runge's method for higherdimensional varieties. Here we prove anew a result of Levin inspired by this method, before proving an enhanced version called "tubular Runge", more generally applicable. In the perspective of studying integral points of modular varieties, we finally give an example of application of this theorem to the reduction of an abelian surface in a product of elliptic curves.Cette thèse porte sur l'étude des points entiers et rationnels de certaines courbes et variétés modulaires. Après une brève introduction décrivant les motivations et le cadre de ce genre d'études ainsi que les résultats principaux de la thèse, le manuscrit se divise en trois parties. Le premier chapitre s'intéresse aux Q-courbes, et aux morphismes Gal(Q/Q) -> PGL2(Fp) qu'on peut leur associer pour tout p premier. Nous montrons que sous de bonnes hypothèses, pour p assez grand par rapport au discriminant du corps de définition de la Q-courbe, ce morphisme est surjectif, ce qui résout un cas particulier du problème d'uniformité de Serre (toujours ouvert en général). Les outils principaux du chapitre sont la méthode de Mazur (basée ici sur des résultats d'Ellenberg), la méthode de Runge et des théorèmes d'isogénie, suivant la structure de preuve de Bilu et Parent. Le second chapitre consiste en des estimations analytiques de sommes pondérées de valeurs de fonctions L de formes modulaires, dans l'esprit de techniques développées par Duke et Ellenberg. La motivation de départ d'un tel résultat est l'application de la méthode de Mazur dans le premier chapitre. Le troisième chapitre est consacré à la recherche de généralisations de la méthode de Runge pour des variétés de dimension supérieure. Nous y redémontrons un résultat de Levin inspiré de cette méthode, avant d'en prouver une forme assouplie dite "de Runge tubulaire", plus largement applicable. Dans l'optique de recherche de points entiers de variétés modulaires, nous en donnons enfin un exemple d'utilisation à la réduction d'une surface abélienne en produit de courbes elliptiques

A tubular variant of Runge's method in all dimensions, with applications to integral points on Siegel modular varieties

Runge’s method is a tool to figure out integral points on algebraic curves effectively in terms of height. This method has been generalised to varieties of any dimension, but unfortunately its conditions of application are often too restrictive. In this paper, we provide a further generalisation intended to be more flexible while still effective, and exemplify its applicability by giving finiteness results for integral points on some Siegel modular varieties. As a special case, we obtain an explicit finiteness result for integral points on the Siegel modular variety A2(2)

Torsion bounds for a fixed abelian variety and varying number field

Let $A$ be an abelian variety defined over a number field $K$. For a finite extension $L/K$, the cardinality of the group $A(L)_{\operatorname{tors}}$ of torsion points in $A(L)$ can be bounded in terms of the degree $[L:K]$. We study the smallest real number $\beta_A$ such that for any finite extension $L/K$ and $\varepsilon>0$, we have $|A(L)_{\operatorname{tors}}| \leq C \cdot [L:K]^{\beta_A+\varepsilon}$, where the constant $C$ depends only on $A$ and $\varepsilon$ (and not $L$). Assuming the Mumford-Tate conjecture for $A$, we will show that $\beta_A$ agrees with the conjectured value of Hindry and Ratazzi.Comment: 29 pages, comments very welcome

Explicit height estimates for CM curves of genus 2

In this paper we make explicit the constants of Habegger and Pazuki's work from 2017 on bounding the discriminant of cyclic Galois CM fields corresponding to genus 2 curves with CM by them and potentially good reduction outside a predefined set of primes. We also simplify some of the arguments

COVID-19 symptoms at hospital admission vary with age and sex: results from the ISARIC prospective multinational observational study

Background: The ISARIC prospective multinational observational study is the largest cohort of hospitalized patients with COVID-19. We present relationships of age, sex, and nationality to presenting symptoms. Methods: International, prospective observational study of 60 109 hospitalized symptomatic patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 recruited from 43 countries between 30 January and 3 August 2020. Logistic regression was performed to evaluate relationships of age and sex to published COVID-19 case definitions and the most commonly reported symptoms. Results: ‘Typical’ symptoms of fever (69%), cough (68%) and shortness of breath (66%) were the most commonly reported. 92% of patients experienced at least one of these. Prevalence of typical symptoms was greatest in 30- to 60-year-olds (respectively 80, 79, 69%; at least one 95%). They were reported less frequently in children (≤ 18 years: 69, 48, 23; 85%), older adults (≥ 70 years: 61, 62, 65; 90%), and women (66, 66, 64; 90%; vs. men 71, 70, 67; 93%, each P < 0.001). The most common atypical presentations under 60 years of age were nausea and vomiting and abdominal pain, and over 60 years was confusion. Regression models showed significant differences in symptoms with sex, age and country. Interpretation: This international collaboration has allowed us to report reliable symptom data from the largest cohort of patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19. Adults over 60 and children admitted to hospital with COVID-19 are less likely to present with typical symptoms. Nausea and vomiting are common atypical presentations under 30 years. Confusion is a frequent atypical presentation of COVID-19 in adults over 60 years. Women are less likely to experience typical symptoms than men
