We describe a simple approach to factorize non-commutative (nc) polynomials, that is, elements in free associative algebras (over a commutative field), into atoms (irreducible elements) based on (a special form of) their minimal linear…

Let 0 < a < b be two relatively prime integers and let <a,b> be the numerical semigroup generated by a and b with Frobenius number g(a,b)=ab-a-b. In this note, we prove that there exists a prime number p in <a,b> with p < g(a,b) when the…

If $\mathfrak{g}$ is a Frobenius Lie algebra, then for certain $F\in \mathfrak{g}^*$ the natural map $\mathfrak{g}\longrightarrow \mathfrak{g}^* $ given by $x \longmapsto F[x,-]$ is an isomorphism. The inverse image of $F$ under this…

Let f be a polynomial of degree n in ZZ[x_1,..,x_n], typically reducible but squarefree. From the hypersurface {f=0} one may construct a number of other subschemes {Y} by extracting prime components, taking intersections, taking unions, and…

In this paper we present a survey concerning unconstrained free boundary problems of type $$ \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} F_1(D^2u,\nabla u,u,x)=0 & \text{in }B_1 \cap \Omega ,\\ F_2 (D^2 u,\nabla u,u,x)=0 & \text{in }B_1\setminus\Omega ,\\ u…

Suppose that R is a two-dimensional normal standard-graded domain over a finite field. We prove that there exists a uniform Frobenius test exponent b for the class of homogeneous ideals in R generated by at most n elements. This means that…

The inverse problem for representation functions takes as input a triple (X,f,L), where X is a countable semigroup, f : X --> N_0 \cup {\infty} a function, L : a_1 x_1 + ... + a_h x_h an X-linear form and asks for a subset A \subseteq X…

For any set representation (permutation representation) of the symmetric group $S_n$, we give combinatorial interpretation for coefficients of its Frobenius character expanded in the basis of monomial symmetric functions.

A numerical monoid is an additive submonoid of the non-negative integers. Given a numerical monoid $S$, consider the family of "shifted" monoids $M_n$ obtained by adding $n$ to each generator of $S$. In this paper, we characterize the…

Let $F$ be a free group. We present for arbitrary $g\in\mathbb{N}$ a LogSpace (and thus polynomial time) algorithm that determines whether a given $w\in F$ is a product of at most $g$ commutators; and more generally an algorithm that…

By means of a Fourier optimization framework, we improve the current asymptotic bounds under GRH for two classical problems in number theory: the problem of estimating the least quadratic non-residue modulo a prime, and the problem of…

We show that if $G$ is a linear algebraic group over a number field and if $G$ is not a torus then for all but finitely many primes $p$ the $p$-adic completion of $G$ does not possess a Frobenius lift that is "Lie invariant mod $p$" (in the…

Let $G$ denote a compact monothetic group, and let $$\rho (x) = \alpha_k x^k + \ldots + \alpha_1 x + \alpha_0,$$ where $\alpha_0, \ldots , \alpha_k$ are elements of $G$ one of which is a generator of $G$. Let $(p_n)_{n\geq 1}$ denote the…

For a variety $X$ of positive characteristic and a non-negative integer $e$, we define its $e$-th F-blowup to be the universal flattening of the $e$-iterated Frobenius of $X$. Thus we have the sequence (a set labeled by non-negative…

Let a, k, h, c be positive integers and d a non zero integer. Recall that a numerical generalized almost arithmetic semigroup S is a semigroup minimally generated by relatively prime positive integers a, ha + d, ha + 2d, . . . , ha + kd, c,…

In this paper, we compute the size of the exceptional set in a generalized Goldbach problem and show that for a given polynomial $f(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ with a positive leading coefficient, positive integers $A$, $B$, $g$ and $0 \leq i, j…

We show that if $\mathfrak{g}$ is a Frobenius seaweed, then the spectrum of the adjoint of a principal element consists of an unbroken set of integers whose multiplicities have a symmetric distribution. Our methods are combinatorial.

Given three pairwise coprime positive integers $a_1,a_2,a_3 \in \mathbb{Z}^+$ we show the existence of a relation between the sets of the first elements of the three quotients $\frac{\langle a_i,a_j \rangle}{a_k}$ that can be made for every…

The main subject of this paper is the study of analytic second order linear partial differential equations. We aim to solve the classical equations and some more, in the real or complex analytical case. This is done by introducing methods…

Using Frobenius morphisms of noncommutative blowups, we prove that every normal toric singularity has a standard noncommutative resolution.
