Orbits on K3 surfaces of Markoff type

E Fuchs, M Litman, JH Silverman… - Experimental …, 2023 - Taylor & Francis
Abstract Let W⊂ P 1× P 1× P 1 be a surface given by the vanishing of a (2, 2, 2)-form. These
surfaces admit three involutions coming from the three projections W→ P 1× P 1, so we call …

Experiments with the Markoff surface

M de Courcy-Ireland, S Lee - Experimental Mathematics, 2022 - Taylor & Francis
We confirm, for the primes up to 3000, the conjecture of Bourgain-Gamburd-Sarnak and
Baragar on strong approximation for the Markoff surface x 2+ y 2+ z 2= 3 xyz modulo primes …

On the structure of graphs of Markoff triples

SV Konyagin, SV Makarychev… - … Quarterly Journal of …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
We sharpen the bounds of J. Bourgain, A. Gamburd and P. Sarnak (2016) on the possible
number of nodes outside the 'giant component'and on the size of individual connected …

Kesten–McKay law for the Markoff surface mod

M de Courcy-Ireland, M Magee - Annales Henri Lebesgue, 2021 - ahl.centre-mersenne.org
For each prime p, we study the eigenvalues of a 3-regular graph on roughly p 2 vertices
constructed from the Markoff surface. We show they asymptotically follow the Kesten–McKay …

The Markoff group of transformations in prime and composite moduli

C Meiri, D Puder - 2018 - projecteuclid.org
The Markoff group of transformations is a group Γ of affine integral morphisms, which is
known to act transitively on the set of all positive integer solutions to the equation x 2+ y 2+ z …

A Heuristic Subexponential Algorithm to Find Paths in Markoff Graphs Over Finite Fields

JH Silverman - arXiv preprint arXiv:2211.08511, 2022 - arxiv.org
Charles, Goren, and Lauter [J. Cryptology 22 (1), 2009] explained how one can construct
hash functions using expander graphs in which it is hard to find paths between specified …

Non-planarity of Markoff graphs mod p.

M de Courcy-Ireland - Commentarii Mathematici Helvetici, 2024 - ems.press
We prove the non-planarity of a family of 3-regular graphs constructed from the solutions to
the Markoff equation x2 C y2 C z2 D xyz modulo prime numbers greater than 7. The proof …

Stratification and Arithmetic Dynamics on Character Varieties

C Thomas - 2022 - search.proquest.com
If G is a reductive algebraic group over Z, the G-character variety of a finitely presented
group F parameterizes the set of closed conjugation orbits in Hom (F, G). The group of …

On the new bound for the number of solutions of polynomial equations in subgroups and the structure of graphs of Markoff triples

SV Konyagin, SV Makarychev, IE Shparlinski… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2017 - arxiv.org
We sharpen the bounds of J. Bourgain, A. Gamburd and P. Sarnak (2016) on the possible
number of nodes outside the" giant component" and on the size of individual connected …

Polynomial equations in subgroups and applications

SV Konyagin, IE Shparlinski, IV Vyugin - … at Large: Dedicated to the Life …, 2022 - Springer
We obtain a new bound for the number of solutions to polynomial equations in cosets of
multiplicative subgroups in finite fields, which generalizes previous results of P. Corvaja and …
