We prove that the essential dimension of central simple algebras of degree $p^{\ell m}$ and exponent $p^m$ over fields $F$ containing a base-field $k$ of characteristic $p$ is at least $\ell+1$ when $k$ is perfect. We do this by observing…

In this paper we establish some new supercongruences motivated by the well-known fact $\lim_{n\to\infty}(1+1/n)^n=e$. Let $p>3$ be a prime. We prove that $$\sum_{k=0}^{p-1}\binom{-1/(p+1)}k^{p+1}\equiv 0\ \pmod{p^5}\ \ \ \mbox{and}\ \ \…

The Chern numbers of the title are the first coefficients (after the multiplicities) of the Hilbert functions of various filtrations of ideals of a local ring $(R, \mathfrak{m})$. For a Noetherian (good) filtration $\mathcal{A}$ of…

We describe the support of $F$-finite $F$-modules over polynomial rings $R$ of prime characteristic. Our description yields an algorithm to compute the support of such modules; the complexity of our algorithm is also analyzed. To the best…

For Fr{\'e}chet spaces E and F we write (E,F) \in {B} if every continuous linear operator from E to F is bounded. Let l be a Banach sequence space with a monotone norm in which the canonical system (e_{n}) is an unconditional basis. We…

Let $(R, \frak m)$ be a local ring of prime characteristic $p$ of dimension $d$ with the embedding dimension $v$. Suppose the Frobenius test exponent for parameter ideals $Fte(R)$ of $R$ is finite, and let $Q = p^{Fte(R)}$. It is shown that…

Let $f(n)$ denote a multiplicative function with range $\{-1,0,1\}$, and let $F(x) = \sum_{n\leq x} f(n)$. Then $F(x)/\sqrt{x} = a\sqrt{x} + b + E(x)$, where $a$ and $b$ are constants and $E(x)$ is an error term that either tends to $0$ in…

We consider the following conjecture (from Huang, et al): Let $\Delta^+$ denote the upper half disc in $\mathbb{C}$ and let $\gamma = ( - 1, 1)$ (viewed as an interval in the real axis in $\mathbb{C}$). Assume that $F$ is a holomorphic…

This is an English translation of the author's Ph.D. thesis, accumulating his results on a construction of Cohen-Macaulay modules over a polynomial ring that appeared in the study of Cauchy-Fueter equations. This construction is generalized…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of subsets of $[n]$ and $L$ be a subset of $[n]$. We say $\mathcal{F}$ is an $L$-differencing Sperner system if $|A\setminus B|\in L$ for any distinct $A,B\in\mathcal{F}$. Let $p$ be a prime and $q$ be a power…

Let $k$ be an infinite field of characteristic $p > 0$ and let $R = k[Y_1,\ldots, Y_d]$ (or $R = k[[Y_1,\ldots, Y_d]]$). Let $F \colon \text{Mod}(R) \rightarrow \text{Mod}(R)$ be the Frobenius functor and let $\mathcal{M}$ be a $F_R$-finite…

The main result of the paper states that for a graded ideal I in a polynomial ring R over a field of characteristic 0, the Hilbert functions of the local cohomology modules of R/I and of R/Gin(I) coincide if and only if R/I is sequentially…

We had shown earlier that for a standard graded ring $R$ and a graded ideal $I$ in characteristic $p>0$, with $\ell(R/I) <\infty$, there exists a compactly supported continuous function $f_{R, I}$ whose Riemann integral is the HK…

We introduce the notion of E-depth of graded modules over polynomial rings to measure the depth of certain Ext modules. First, we characterize graded modules over polynomial rings with (sufficiently) large E-depth as those modules whose…

Two results concerning the number of threshold functions $P(2, n)$ and the probability ${\mathbb P}_n$ that a random $n\times n$ Bernoulli matrix is singular are established. We introduce a supermodular function $\eta^{\bigstar}_n : 2^{{\bf…

In this paper we establish function field versions of two classical conjectures on prime numbers. The first says that the number of primes in intervals (x,x+x^epsilon] is about x^epsilon/log x and the second says that the number of primes…

We establish the full range of the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities for radial functions in the Sobolev and the fractional Sobolev spaces of order $0 < s \le 1$. In particular, we show that the range of the parameters for radial…

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…

As early as the 1930s, P\'al Erd\H{o}s conjectured that: {\em for any multiplicative function $f:\mathbb{N}\to\{-1,1\}$, the partial sums $\sum_{n\leq x}f(n)$ are unbounded.} Considering this conjecture, in this paper we consider…

Let f:{-1,1}^n -> R be a real function on the hypercube, given by its discrete Fourier expansion, or, equivalently, represented as a multilinear polynomial. We say that it is Boolean if its image is in {-1,1}. We show that every function on…
