In this paper we consider a fragment of the first-order theory of the real numbers that includes systems of equations of continuous functions in bounded domains, and for which all functions are computable in the sense that it is possible to…
We find conditions on ideals of an algebra under which the algebra is dibaric. Dibaric algebras have not non-zero homomorphisms to the set of the real numbers. We introduce a concept of bq-homomorphism (which is given by two linear maps $f,…
The study of prime divisibility plays a crucial role in number theory. The $p$-adic valuation of a number is the highest power of a prime, $p$, that divides that number. Using this valuation, we construct $p$-adic valuation trees to…
It is known that the weight (that is, the number of nonzero coefficients) of a univariate polynomial over a field of characteristic zero is larger than the multiplicity of any of its nonzero roots. We extend this result to an appropriate…
We consider several ways of decomposing models into parts of bounded size forming a congruence over a base, and show that admitting any such decomposition is equivalent to mutual algebraicity at the level of theories. We also show that a…
Cyclotomic polynomials are basic objects in Number Theory. Their properties depend on the number of distinct primes that intervene in the factorization of their order, and the binary case is thus the first nontrivial case. This paper sees…
First we prove some elementary but useful identities in the group ring of Q/Z. Our identities have potential applications to several unsolved problems which involve sums of Farey fractions. In this paper we use these identities, together…
A fundamental result of Springer says that a quadratic form over a field of characteristic not 2 is isotropic if it is so after an odd degree extension. In this paper we generalize Springer's theorem as follows. Let R be a an arbitrary…
Let G be a finite group. Denoting by cd(G) the set of degrees of the irreducible complex characters of G, we consider the character degree graph of G: this is the (simple undirected) graph whose vertices are the prime divisors of the…
The Recognition Theorem for graded Lie algebras is an essential ingredient in the classification of finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 3. The main goal of this monograph is to…
To an algebraic variety equipped with an involution, we associate a cycle class in the modulo two Chow group of its fixed locus. This association is functorial with respect to proper morphisms having a degree and preserving the involutions.…
We classify all division algebras that are principal Albert isotopes of a cyclic Galois field extension of degree $n>2$ up to isomorphisms. We achieve a ``tight'' classification when the cyclic Galois field extension is cubic. The…
In this paper we study division algebras over the function fields of curves over $\Q_p$. The first and main tool is to view these fields as function fields over nonsingular $S$ which are projective of relative dimension 1 over the $p$ adic…
We develop a representation theory of categories as a means to explore characteristic structures in algebra. Characteristic structures play a critical role in isomorphism testing of groups and algebras, and their construction and…
A brief exposition of the general theory of characteristic classes of quantum principal bundles is given. The theory of quantum characteristic classes incorporates ideas of classical Weil theory into the conceptual framework of…
We consider the homotopical dynamics on compact orientable surfaces of positive genus g. We establish a sufficient and necessary algebraic criterion for homotopy classes with infinitely many periodic points of maps on such surfaces in terms…
We consider properties of polynomials with coefficients in division rings. A theorem on the decomposition of a polynomial with coefficients in an arbitrary division ring is obtained. It is shown that if a non-central element is not a root…
We show that the $p$-part of the degree of an irreducible character of a symmetric group is completely determined by the set of vanishing elements of $p$-power order. As a corollary we deduce that the set of zeros of prime power order…
Given a countable structure $\mathcal{A}$, the degree spectrum of $\mathcal{A}$ is the set of all Turing degrees which can compute an isomorphic copy of $\mathcal{A}$. One of the major programs in computable structure theory is to determine…
Given a variety defined over a field of characteristic zero and an algebraically integrable foliation of corank less than or equal to two, we show the existence of a categorical quotient, defined on the non-empty open set of stable points,…
