The extended L\"uroth's Theorem says that if the transcendence degree of $\KK(\mathsf{f}_1,\dots,\mathsf{f}_m)/\KK$ is 1 then there exists $f \in \KK(\underline{X})$ such that $\KK(\mathsf{f}_1,\dots,\mathsf{f}_m)$ is equal to $\KK(f)$. In…

This paper demonstrates some connections between the coefficients of a Taylor series $f(z)=\ds\sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n z^n$ and singularities of the function. There are many known results of this type, for example, counting the number of poles…

We find all polynomials f,g,h over a field K such that g and h are linear and f(g(x))=h(f(x)). We also solve the same problem for rational functions f,g,h, in case the field K is algebraically closed.

Let K be a non-archimedean field, and let f in K(z) be a rational function of degree d>1. If f has potentially good reduction, we give an upper bound, depending only on d, for the minimal degree of an extension L/K such that f is conjugate…
