We prove a version of Knebusch's Norm Principle for finite \'etale extensions of semi-local Noetherian domains with infinite residue fields of characteristic different from 2. As an application we prove Grothendieck's conjecture on…

We use Reznick's Theorem for positive homogeneous polynomials to prove an elliptic regularity result for representations of enveloping algebras of Lie algebras. This allows us to relax a technical condition for a sum of squares…

The aim of this paper is to gain a better understanding of weak and strong positivity for exterior forms on complex vector spaces. We prove a dimensionality reduction argument for positive forms, which allows us to restrict to the case of…

Let k be a global field of characteristic not 2. The classical Hasse-Minkowski theorem states that if two quadratic forms become isomorphic over all the completions of k, then they are isomorphic over k as well. It is natural to ask whether…

We study totally positive definite quadratic forms over the ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$ of a totally real biquadratic field $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{m}, \sqrt{s})$. We restrict our attention to classical forms (i.e., those with all…

Kaplansky conjectured that if two positive-definite real ternary quadratic forms have perfectly identical representations over $\mathbb{Z}$, they are constant multiples of regular forms, or is included in either of two families parametrized…

Emerton's theory of Jacquet modules for locally analytic representations provides necessary conditions for the existence of integral structures in locally analytic representations. These conditions are also expected to be sufficient for the…

The relativistic approach to electroweak properties of two-particle composite systems developed previously is generalized here to the case of nonzero spin. This approach is based on the instant form of relativistic Hamiltonian dynamics. A…

Karlsson and Margulis proved in the setting of uniformly convex geodesic spaces, which additionally satisfy a nonpositive curvature condition, an ergodic theorem that focuses on the asymptotic behavior of integrable cocycles of nonexpansive…

We prove that every real nonnegative ternary quartic whose complex zero set is smooth can be represented as the determinant of a symmetric matrix with quadratic entries which is everywhere positive semidefinite. We show that the…

We prove that the representations numbers of a ternary definite integral quadratic form defined over F_q[t], where F_q is a finite field of odd characteristic, determine its integral equivalence class when q is large enough with respect to…

This paper aims at developing a "local--global" approach for various types of finite dimensional algebras, especially those related to Hecke algebras. The eventual intention is to apply the methods and applications developed here to the…

We prove the failure of the local-global principle, with respect to discrete valuations, for isotropy of quadratic forms over function fields of transcendence degree at least 2 over algebraically closed fields. Our construction involves…

We prove effective versions of Oppenheim's conjecture for generic inhomogeneous forms in the S-arithmetic setting. We prove an effective result for fixed rational shifts and generic forms and we also prove a result where both the quadratic…

For a field $E$ of characteristic different from $2$ and cohomological $2$-dimension one, quadratic forms over the rational function field $E(X)$ are studied. A characterisation in terms of polynomials in $E[X]$ is obtained for having that…
