1. A two-player zero-sum probabilistic game that approximates the mean curvature flow

Irene Gonzalvez ; Alfredo Miranda ; Julio D. Rossi ; Jorge Ruiz-Cases.
In this paper we introduce a new two-player zero-sum game whose value function approximates the level set formulation for the geometric evolution by mean curvature of a hypersurface. In our approach the game is played with symmetric rules for the two players and probability theory is involved (the game is not deterministic).

2. Some arithmetic properties of Weil polynomials of the form $t^{2g}+at^g+q^g$

Alejandro J. Giangreco-Maidana.
An isogeny class $\mathcal{A}$ of abelian varieties defined over finite fields is said to be "cyclic" if every variety in $\mathcal{A}$ has a cyclic group of rational points. In this paper we study the local cyclicity of Weil-central isogeny classes of abelian varieties, i.e. those with Weil polynomials of the form $f_\mathcal{A}(t)=t^{2g}+at^g+q^g$, as well as the local growth of the groups of rational points of the varieties in $\mathcal{A}$ after finite field extensions. We exploit the criterion: an isogeny class $\mathcal{A}$ with Weil polynomial $f$ is cyclic if and only if $f'(1)$ is coprime with $f(1)$ divided by its radical.
