We prove that there are at most 13 real quadratic fields that admit a ternary universal quadratic lattice, thus establishing a strong version of Kitaoka's Conjecture for quadratic fields. More generally, we obtain explicit upper bounds on…

In previous work we described when a single geometric representation, valued in a linear algebraic group, of the Galois group of a number field lifts through a central torus quotient to a geometric representation. In this paper we prove a…

Frame matroids and lifted-graphic matroids are two interesting generalizations of graphic matroids. Here we introduce a new generalization, {\em quasi-graphic matroids}, that unifies these two existing classes. Unlike frame matroids and…

Let $p>5$ be a prime integer and $K/\mathbb{Q}_p$ a finite ramified extension with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}$ and uniformizer $\pi$. Let $n>1$ be a positive integer and $\rho_n:G_\mathbb{Q} \to \text{GL}_2(\mathcal{O}/\pi^n)$ be a…

In this work we study F-theory on symmetric toroidal orbifolds that exhibit roto-translations, which are point group rotations accompanied by fractional lattice shifts. These geometries admit a rich class of effects, such as twisted affine…

The results presented in this paper are refinements of some results presented in a previous paper. Three such refined results are presented. The first one relaxes one of the basic hypotheses assumed in the previous paper, and thus extends…

We develop the rudiments of a finite-dimensional representation theory of groups over idempotent semifields by considering linear actions on tropical linear spaces. This can be considered a tropical representation theory, a characteristic…

We prove that for each finite field $\mathbb F$ and integer $k\in \mathbb Z$ there exists $n\in \mathbb Z$ such that no excluded minor for the class of $\mathbb F$-representable matroids has $n$ nested $k$-separations.

We prove there is no sentence in the monadic second-order language MS0 that characterises when a matroid is representable over at least one field, and no sentence that characterises when a matroid is K-representable, for any infinite field…

We extend the splitting operation from binary matroids (Raghunathan et al., 1998) to $p$- matroids, where $p$-matroids refer to matroids representable over $GF(p).$ We also characterize circuits, bases, and independent sets of the resulting…

In this paper, by using matix representation for quaternions andoctonions, we provide a procedure to obtain some example of k potent matrices of order 4 or 8, over the real field or over the field ZP, with p a prime number.

Let F be a p-adic field with p odd. Quadratic base change and theta-lifting are shown to be compatible for supercuspidal representations of SL(2,F). The argument involves the theory of types and the lattice model of the Weil representation.

A matroid is a machine capturing linearity of mathematical objects and producing combinatorial structures. Matroid structure arises everywhere since linearity is a ubiquitous concept. One natural way to obtain matroids is by considering…

This paper studies the properties of two kinds of matroids: (a) algebraic matroids and (b) finite and infinite matroids whose ground set have some canonical symmetry, for example row and column symmetry and transposition symmetry. For (a)…

We show that a field extension $K\subseteq L$ in positive characteristic $p$ and elements $x_e\in L$ for $e\in E$ gives rise to a matroid $M^\sigma$ on ground set $E$ with coefficients in a certain skew hyperfield $L^\sigma$. This skew…

We show that the algebraic rank of divisors on certain graphs is related to the realizability problem of matroids. As a consequence, we produce a series of examples in which the algebraic rank depends on the ground field. We use the theory…

We consider three forms of composition of matroids, each of which extends the category of bimatroids to a rigid monoidal category. Many well-known constructions are functorial or defined by morphisms in these categories. Motivating examples…

The {\em Dressian} of a matroid $M$ is the set of all valuations of $M$. This Dressian is the support of a polyhedral complex $\mathcal{Dr}(M)$ whose open cells correspond 1-1 with matroid subdivisions of the matroid polytope of $M$. We…

The theory of matroids or combinatorial geometries originated in linear algebra and graph theory, and has deep connections with many other areas, including field theory, matching theory, submodular optimization, Lie combinatorics, and total…

Lurie's representability theorem gives necessary and sufficient conditions for a functor to be an almost finitely presented derived geometric stack. We establish several variants of Lurie's theorem, making the hypotheses easier to verify…
