Class numbers of functions fields and spanning trees
In Discrete groups, expanding graphs, and invariant measures (in the notes at the end of Chapter 7), Lubotzky mentions that certain estimates for the number of spanning trees $\kappa(G)$ of a $k$-...

Given an embedding of $X$ into $\mathbb{P}^n_K$, do you get an induced embedding of any twist of it into $\mathbb{P}^n_K$?
Let $X$ be a projective algebraic curve over some number field $K$, and let $\varphi:X\hookrightarrow \mathbb{P}^n_K$ be an embedding of it (defined over $K$) into some projective space.
Now let $X'$ ...

Is the ring of all cyclotomic integers a Bezout domain?
My previous question about the theorem (apparently due to Dedekind -- thanks, Arturo Magidin!) that the ring $\overline{\mathbb{Z}}$ of all algebraic integers is a Bezout domain got me thinking about ...

An example where $Pic(X) = H^0(k,Pic(\overline{X}))$?
Let $X$ be a geometrically integral smooth projective variety over a number field $k$. Then if $X$ is everywhere locally soluble, we have $Pic(X) = H^0(k,Pic (\overline{X}))$, where $\overline{X}=X \...

Two questions about finiteness of ideal classes in abstract number rings
Let us say that an abstract number ring is an integral domain $R$ which is not a field, and which has the "finite norms" property: for any nonzero ideal $I$ of $R$, the quotient $R/I$ is finite.
(I ...
