The purpose of this paper is to lay the foundations for the theory of higher rank b-divisorial algebras of Shokurov type. We develop techniques to deal with such objects and propose two natural conjectures regarding Shokurov algebras and…

Let k be a an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic, and we let h be the usual Weil height for the n-dimensional affine space corresponding to the function field k(t) (extended to its algebraic closure). We prove that for…

We study fixed points of iterates of dynamically affine maps (a generalisation of Latt\`es maps) over algebraically closed fields of positive characteristic $p$. We present and study certain hypotheses that imply a dichotomy for the…

Let K be a function field and C a non-isotrivial curve of genus g >= 2 over K. In this paper, we will show that if C has a global stable model with only geometrically irreducible fibers, then Bogomolov conjecture over function fields holds.

Let A be a finite set of integers. For a polynomial f(x_1,...,x_n) with integer coefficients, let f(A) = {f(a_1,...,a_n) : a_1,...,a_n \in A}. In this paper it is proved that for every pair of normalized binary linear forms f(x,y)=u_1x+v_1y…

We prove that the equations of motion describing domain walls in a Wess-Zumino theory involving only one chiral matter multiplet can be factorized into first order Bogomol'nyi equations, so that all the topological defects are of the…

The generalized L'vov-Kaplansky conjecture states that for any finite-dimensional simple algebra $A$ the image of a multilinear polynomial on $A$ is a vector space. In this paper we prove it for the algebra of octonions $\mathbb{O}$ over a…

We study algebraic dynamical systems (and, more generally, $\sigma$-varieties) $\Phi:{\mathbb A}^n_{\mathbb C} \to {\mathbb A}^n_{\mathbb C}$ given by coordinatewise univariate polynomials by refining a theorem of Ritt. More precisely, we…

Let $\mathcal A$ be an $\mathbb F$-algebra and $\omega \in \mathcal A\langle x_1, \ldots, x_m \rangle$ which defines a map $\mathcal A^m \rightarrow \mathcal A$ by evaluation, called a polynomial map with constant. We consider $\mathcal {A}…

It is known that if $f\colon {\mathbb R}^2 \to {\mathbb R}$ is a polynomial in each variable, then $f$ is a polynomial. We present generalizations of this fact, when ${\mathbb R}^2$ is replaced by $G\times H$, where $G$ and $H$ are…

For a subgroup of $PGL(2,q)$ we show how some irreducible polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_q$ arise from the field of invariant rational functions. The proofs rely on two actions of $PGL(2,F)$, one on the projective line over a field $F$ and…

We consider a tuple $\Phi = (\phi_1,\ldots,\phi_m)$ of commuting maps on a finitary matroid $X$. We show that if $\Phi$ satisfies certain conditions, then for any finite set $A\subseteq X$, the rank of $\{\phi_1^{r_1}\cdots\phi_m^{r_m}(a):a…

Kontsevich conjectured that the number f(G,q) of zeros over the finite field with q elements of a certain polynomial connected with the spanning trees of a graph G is polynomial function of q. We have been unable to settle Kontsevich's…

Let $X\subset \mathbb{C}^n$ be a smooth irreducible affine variety of dimension $k$ and let $F: X\to \mathbb{C}^m$ be a polynomial mapping. We prove that if $m\ge k$, then there is a Zariski open dense subset $U$ in the space of linear…

Consider a finite dimensional Lie algebra L with an action of a finite group G over a field of characteristic 0. We prove the analog of Amitsur's conjecture on asymptotic behavior for codimensions of polynomial G-identities of L. As a…

In [DKY], it was conjectured that there is a uniform bound $B$, depending only on the degree $d$, so that any pair of holomorphic maps $f, g :\mathbb{P}^1\to\mathbb{P}^1$ with degree $d$ will either share all of their preperiodic points or…

The diagonal of a multivariate power series F is the univariate power series Diag(F) generated by the diagonal terms of F. Diagonals form an important class of power series; they occur frequently in number theory, theoretical physics and…

In the present paper we obtain a new homological version of the implicit function theorem and some versions of the Darboux theorem. Such results are proved for continuous maps on topological manifolds. As a consequence, some versions of…

The Casas-Alvero conjecture states that if $f(X)$ is a monic univariate polynomial of degree $d$ over a characteristic $0$ field $\mathbb{K}$ such that $\gcd(f, f_{i})$ is non-trivial for each $i=1, \dots, d-1$, then $f(X)=(X-\alpha)^d$ for…

We give an algebraic proof of a result, due to Bialynicki-Birula and Sommese, characterizing the invariant open subsets of a normal proper variety equipped with a $\mathbf{G}_m$-action that admit a proper good quotient. A major ingredient…
