We study the class of polynomials that map a local field (i.e., the completion of a number field at a non-Archimedean place) into the subset of its $p$-th powers, where $p$ is the residue characteristic of the field in question. We present…

We compute the expectation of the number of linear spaces on a random complete intersection in $p$-adic projective space. Here "random" means that the coefficients of the polynomials defining the complete intersections are sampled uniformly…

If X is a symplectic variety emedded in an affine space as a complete intersection of homogeneous polynomials, then X coincides with the nilpotent variety of a semisimple Lie algebra.

Every partition of [[omega_1]^{< omega}]^2 into finitely many pieces has a cofinal homogeneous set. Furthermore, it is consistent that every directed partially ordered set satisfies the partition property if and only if it has finite…

In this note we prove a generalization of the Frobenius-Schur theorem for finite groups for the case of semisimple Hopf algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. A similar result holds in characteristic $p > 2$ if the…

Let $f(z)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} a_f(n)e^{2\pi i n z}$ be a non-CM holomorphic cupsidal newform of trivial nebentypus and even integral level $k\geq 2$. Deligne's proof of the Weil conjectures shows that $|a_f(p)|\leq 2p^{\frac{k-1}{2}}$ for…

The notion of highly structured ring spectra of prime characteristic is made precise and is studied via the versal examples S//p for prime numbers p. These can be realized as Thom spectra, and therefore relate to other Thom spectra such as…

Let p be a prime and let A be a subset of F_p. For k<p let X_{A,k} be the (k-1)-dimensional complex on the vertex set F_p with a full (k-2)-skeleton whose (k-1)-faces are k-subsets S of F_p such that the sum of the elements of S belongs to…

Given a semi-algebraic set S, we study compactifications of S that arise from embeddings into complete toric varieties. This makes it possible to describe the asymptotic growth of polynomial functions on S in terms of combinatorial data. We…

We prove that a smooth well formed Picard rank one Fano complete intersection of dimension at least 2 in a toric variety is a weighted complete intersection.

We isolate conditions on the relative size of sets of natural numbers $A,B$ that guarantee a nonempty intersection $\Delta(A)\cap\Delta(B)\ne\emptyset$ of the corresponding sets of distances. Such conditions apply to a large class of zero…

In this paper, we study a family of binomial ideals defining monomial curves in the $n-$dimensional affine space determined by $n$ hypersurfaces of the form $x_i^{c_i} - x_1^{u_{i1}} \cdots x_n^{u_{1n}} \in k[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ with $u_{ii}…

We prove that for a topological space X with the property that $H_p(U)=0$ for $p\geq d$ and every open subset $U$ of $X$, a finite family of open sets in $X$ has nonempty intersection if for any subfamily of size $j$, $1\leq j \leq d+1$,…

We investigate various homotopy invariant formulations of commutative algebra in the context of rational homotopy theory. The main subject is the complete intersection condition, where we show that a growth condition implies a structure…

In mixed characteristic and in equal characteristic $p$ we define a filtration on topological Hochschild homology and its variants. This filtration is an analogue of the filtration of algebraic $K$-theory by motivic cohomology. Its graded…

Let k>1 be an integer and let p be a prime. We show that if $p^a\le k<2p^a$ or $k=p^aq+1$ (with 2q<p) for some a=1,2,..., then the set {\binom{n}{k}: n=0,1,2,...} is dense in the ring Z_p of p-adic integers, i.e., it contains a complete…

For open and singular varieties in positive characteristic p we study the existence of an integral p-adic cohomology theory which is finitely generated, compatible with log crystalline cohomology and rationally compatible with rigid…

We obtain a criterion for the automorphism group of an affine toric variety to be connected in combinatorial terms and in terms of the divisor class group of the variety. The component group of the automorphism group of a non-degenerate…

We conjecture that a $p$-algebra over a complete discrete valued field $K$ contains a totally ramified purely inseparable subfield if and only if it contains a totally ramified cyclic maximal subfield. We prove the conjecture in several…

We complete a proof of a theorem that was inspired by an Indian Olympiad problem, which gives an interesting characterization of a prime number $p$ with respect to the binomial coefficients ${n\choose p}$. We also derive a related result…
