For an odd prime $p$ and polynomial $P(T)$, we consider the extension $F$ of $k={\mathbb F}_p(T)$ defined by adjoining a root of $x^p+Tx-P(T)$. Such a field is a function field analogue of the number field ${\mathbb Q}(\sqrt[p]{n})$. We…

We study the class of univariate polynomials $\beta_k(X)$, introduced by Carlitz, with coefficients in the algebraic function field $\mathbb F_q(t)$ over the finite field $\mathbb F_q$ with $q$ elements. It is implicit in the work of…

For any $\sigma$ with $0\leq \sigma\leq 1$ and any $T>10$ sufficiently large, let $N_{\zeta}(\sigma,K,T)$ be the number of zeros $\rho=\beta+i\gamma$ of $\zeta_{K}(s)$ with $|\gamma|\leq T$ and $\beta\geq \sigma$ and the zero being counted…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of order $q$. Iosevich and Rudnev (2005) proved that for any set $A\subset \mathbb{F}_q^d$, if $|A|\gg q^{\frac{d+1}{2}}$, then the distance set $\Delta(A)$ contains a positive proportion of all…

We consider a $G$-function $F(z)=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} A_k z^k \in \mathbb{K}[[z]]$, where $\mathbb{K}$ is a number field, of radius of convergence $R$ and annihilated by the $G$-operator $L \in \mathbb{K}(z)[\mathrm{d}/\mathrm{d}z]$, and a…

Suppose $G$ is a finite group and $p$ is either a prime number or $0$. For $p$ positive, we say that $G$ is weakly tame at $p$ if $G$ has no non-trivial normal $p$-subgroups. By convention we say that every finite group is weakly tame at…

We introduce a notion of dimension for the solution set of a system of algebraic difference equations that measures the degrees of freedom when determining a solution in the ring of sequences. This number need not be an integer, but, as we…

We study singularity of effective $\mathbb{Q}$-divisors on products of projective spaces of multidegree $(1,1...,1).$ This generalizes works of Bath, Musta{\c{t}}{\u{a}} and Walther on singularity of square-free polynomials. We also give a…

It is shown (Theorem A and its corollary) that if g is any nonconstant nonunivalent analytic function on a half-plane H and if D is either a half-plane or a smoothly bounded Jordan domain, then there is a function f on D for which f'(D)…

Let $ \mathbb{F}_q[T]$\, be the ring of polynomials over a finite field $ \mathbb{F}_q $. Let $ g: \mathbb{F}_q[T] \rightarrow \mathbb{R} $ be a multiplicative function such that for any irreducible polynomial $ P $ over $ \mathbb{F}_q $…

Given a finite group $\Gamma$, we prove results on the distribution of the prime-to-$q|\Gamma|$ part of fundamental groups of $\Gamma$-covers of the projective line $\mathbb P^1_{\mathbb F_q}$ over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$ as…

Let $F$ and $G$ be integer polynomials where $F$ has degree at least $2$. Define the sequence $(a_n)$ by $a_n=F(a_{n-1})$ for all $n\ge 1$ and $a_0=0.$ Let $\mathscr{B}_{F,\,G,\,k}$ be the set of all positive integers $n$ such that $k\mid…

Let $D$ be a domain in the complex plane, $M$ be an extended real function on $D$. If $f$ is a non-zero holomorphic function on $D$ with an upper constraint $|f|\leq \exp M$ on this domain $D$, then it is natural to expect that there must…

Let $\mathbb F_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements, $f, g\in \mathbb F_q[x]$ be polynomials of degree at least one. This paper deals with the asymptotic growth of certain arithmetic functions associated to the factorization of the…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q^d$ be the $d$-dimensional vector space over the finite field with $q$ elements. For a subset $E\subseteq \mathbb{F}_q^d$ and a fixed nonzero $t\in \mathbb{F}_q$, let $\mathcal{H}_t(E)=\{h_y: y\in E\}$, where $h_y$ is the…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group and let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. We consider associative unital algebras $A$ over $K$ graded by $G$, that is $A=\oplus_{g\in G} A_g$, where the vector subspaces $A_g$…

Let $K$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ that is totally ramified over $\mathbb{Q}_p$. The set $\mathcal{M}\mathcal{F}(K)$ consists of power series in $1+zK[[z]]$ that are solutions of differential operators in $K(z)[d/dz]$ equipped…

Let ${\Bbb F}_q$ be a finite field of order $q.$ We prove that if $d\ge 2$ is even and $E \subset {\Bbb F}_q^d$ with $|E| \ge 9q^{\frac{d}{2}}$ then $$ {\Bbb F}_q=\frac{\Delta(E)}{\Delta(E)}=\left\{ \frac{a}{b}: a \in \Delta(E), b \in…

For absolutely simple, finite-dimensional Lie algebras g of rank at least 2, defined over a local field of characteristic 0 and admitting a graduation: g=g(-2)+g(-1)+g(0)+g(1)+g(2) given by an element H such that 2H is simple, we construct…
