Let X be the graph in the plane of a pfaffian function f (in the sense of Khovanskii). Suppose X is not algebraic. This note gives an upper bound for the number of rational points on X of height up to X. The bound is uniform in the order…

The L-function $ L(\rho_\lambda, s) $ of an almost everywhere unramified $ \lambda $-adic representation $ \rho_\lambda $ of a global function field $ \mathbb{F}_q(C) $ is known to be a rational function in $ q^{-s} $ satisfying a…

We give a sufficient condition on a positive integer $m$ for every stratum of a given real toric hyperplane arrangement to contain a rational point of denominator $m$. As a consequence, we give a sufficient condition on $m$ for the degree…

Let $k$ be any field, $G$ be a finite group acting on the rational function field $k(x_g:g\in G)$ by $h\cdot x_g=x_{hg}$ for any $h,g\in G$. Define $k(G)=k(x_g:g\in G)^G$. Noether's problem asks whether $k(G)$ is rational (= purely…

We define a function in terms of quotients of the $p$-adic gamma function which generalizes earlier work of the author on extending hypergeometric functions over finite fields to the $p$-adic setting. We prove, for primes $p > 3$, that the…

Let $X$ be a scheme of finite type over a finite field $k$, and let $\mathcal L X$ denote its arc space; in particular, $\mathcal L X(k) = X(k[[t]])$. Using the theory of Grinberg, Kazhdan, and Drinfeld on the finite-dimensionality of…

We introduce and develop $(\pi,p)$-adic Dwork theory for $L$-functions of exponential sums associated to one-variable rational functions, interpolating $p^k$-order exponential sums over affinoids. Namely, we prove a generalization of the…

Let $k$ be a perfect field of characteristic $p>0$, $\mathcal{V}$ a complete discrete valuation ring with residue field $k$ and field of fractions $K$ of characteristic 0, and $S$ a separated $k$-scheme of finite type. When $S$ is smooth…

We prove that every place of an algebraic function field F|K of arbitrary characteristic admits local uniformization in a finite extension F' of F. We show that F'|F can be chosen to be normal. If K is perfect and P is of rank 1, then…

Permutation rational functions over finite fields have attracted high interest in recent years. However, only a few of them have been exhibited. This article studies a class of permutation rational functions constructed using trace maps on…

Let f be a G-function (in the sense of Siegel), and x be an algebraic number; assume that the value f(x) is a real number. As a special case of a more general result, we show that f(x) can be written as g(1), where g is a G-function with…

We show that if a Laurent series $f\in\mathbb{C}((t))$ satisfies a particular kind of linear iterative equation, then $f$ is either a rational function or it is differentially transcendental over $\mathbb{C}(t)$. This condition is more…

In 1923 Schur considered the following problem. Let f(X) be a polynomial with integer coefficients that induces a bijection on the residue fields Z/pZ for infinitely many primes p. His conjecture, that such polynomials are compositions of…

For a finite group $G$, Frobenius found a formula for the values of the function $\sum_{\mathrm{Irr} G} (\dim\, \pi)^{-s}$ for even integers $s$, where $\mathrm{Irr} G$ is the set of irreducible representations of $G$. We generalize this…
