Hyperelliptic curves mapping to abelian varieties and applications to Beilinson's conjecture for zero-cycles

This paper constructs a large family of pairwise non-isomorphic hyperelliptic curves mapping birationally into abelian surfaces isogenous to products of elliptic curves to generate rational equivalences in the Chow group of zero-cycles, thereby providing progress toward Beilinson's conjecture on the vanishing of the kernel of the Albanese map.

On the height boundedness of periodic and preperiodic points of dominant rational self-maps on projective varieties

This paper refutes the conjecture that isolated periodic points of automorphisms on affine spaces have bounded height by providing a counterexample, while simultaneously proving that cohomologically hyperbolic dominant rational self-maps on projective varieties possess a Zariski open subset with height-bounded periodic points and offering evidence that such boundedness may fail for preperiodic points.
