We consider convex sets and functions over idempotent semifields, like the max-plus semifield. We show that if $K$ is a conditionally complete idempotent semifield, with completion $\bar{K}$, a convex function $K^n\to\bar{K}$ which is lower…

We give a one-sentence proof that a continuous real-valued function f on a closed, bounded interval attains a maximum value, by the following device. We define x in [a, b] to be a lookout point if f(t) does not exceed f(x) whenever t lies…

We give a construction of singular curves with many rational points over finite fields. This construction enables us to prove some results on the maximum number of rational points on an absolutely irreducible projective algebraic curve…

We prove that the main examples in the theory of algebraic differential equations possess a remarkable total differential overconvergence property. This allows one to consider solutions to these equations with coordinates in algebraically…

We prove that the enveloping algebra $U(\mathfrak q)$ of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra $\mathfrak q$ contains a commutative subalgebra of the maximal possible transcendence degree $(\dim\mathfrak q+ \mathrm{ind}\,\mathfrak q)/2$.

Let $(K,v)$ be a valued field. We review some results of MacLane and Vaqui\'e on extensions of $v$ to valuations on the polynomial ring $K[x]$. We introduce certain MacLane-Vaqui\'e chains of residually transcendental valuations, and we…

The paper proves the intermediate value theorem for polynomials and power series over a valued field with divisible valuation group and infinite residue field. Some further results on the behaviour of the valuation are obtained using…

For a linear group $G$ acting on an absolutely irreducible variety $X$ over the rationals $\QQ$, we describe the orbits of $X(\QQ_p)$ under $G(\QQ_p)$ and of $X(\FF_p((t)))$ under $G(\FF_p((t)))$ for $p$ big enough. This allows us to show…

For any affine hypersurface defined by a complete symmetric polynomial in $k\geq 3$ variables of degree $m$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ of $q$ elements, a special case of our theorem says that this hypersurface has at least…

Transcendence criteria inspired by Kolberg's paper dated 1962. This is the second part of a note about Kolberg's proof that the values of the sums of a class of certain power series in x, for algebraic values of x, are transcendent. A…

We extend results of Denef, Zahidi, Demeyer and the second author to show the following. (1) Rational integers have a single-fold Diophantine definition over the ring of integral functions of any function field of characteristic 0. (2)…

We present examples of holomorphic functions that vanish to in- finite order at points at the boundary of their domain of definition. They give rise to examples of Dirichlet minimizing Q-valued functions indicating that "higher"-regularity…

A tutorial introduction is given to q-special functions and to q-analogues of the classical orthogonal polynomials, up to the level of Askey-Wilson polynomials.

Let $V$ be a valuation ring of a global field $K$. We show that for all positive integers $k$ and $1 < n_1 \leq \ldots \leq n_k$ there exists an integer-valued polynomial on $V$, that is, an element of $\text{Int}(V) = \{ f \in K[X] \mid…

We show, under some natural conditions, that the set of abelian points on the non-anomalous subset of a closed irreducible subvariety $X$ intersected with the union of connected algebraic subgroups of codimension at least $\dim X$ in a…

In this note, it is proved the existence of an infinitely generated multiplicative group consisting of entire functions that are, except for the constant function 1, hypercyclic with respect to the convolution operator associated to a given…

Let f be a G-function (in the sense of Siegel), and x be an algebraic number; assume that the value f(x) is a real number. As a special case of a more general result, we show that f(x) can be written as g(1), where g is a G-function with…

We associate to any given finite set of valuations on the polynomial ring in two variables over an algebraically closed field a numerical invariant whose positivity characterizes the case when the intersection of their valuation rings has…

In this paper we study the Fourier coefficients of theta functions attached to Dirichlet characters at cusps other than infinity. The method is based on expressing them in terms of explicit elements of the adelic Schwartz space and studying…

We show that every connected affine algebraic supergroup defined over a field k, with diagonalizable maximal torus and whose tangent Lie superalgebra is a k-form of a complex simple Lie superalgebra of classical type is a Chevalley…
