We consider modules $M$ over Lie algebroids ${\mathfrak g}_A$ which are of finite type over a local noetherian ring $A$. Using ideals $J\subset A$ such that ${\mathfrak g}_A \cdot J\subset J $ and the length $\ell_{{\mathfrak g}_A}(M/JM)<…

We implement methods from the geometry of numbers to give explicit estimates for the number of integral ideals in a number field. We pay particular attention to minimising the effect of the degree $n$ of the number field on the error term…

In this paper we provide a complete approach to the real numbers via decimal representations. Construction of the real numbers by Dedekind cuts, Cauchy sequences of rational numbers, and the algebraic characterization of the real number…

In this expository article, the real numbers are defined as infinite decimals. After defining an ordering relation and the arithmetic operations, it is shown that the set of real numbers is a complete ordered field. It is further shown that…

We develop almost ring theory, which is a domain of mathematics somewhere halfway between ring theory and category theory (whence the difficulty of finding appropriate MSC-class numbers). We apply this theory to valuation theory and to…

These are notes for four lectures given at the 2010 CIMPA Research School "Automorphic Forms and L-functions" in Weihai, China. The lectures focused on a Burgess-like subconvex bound for twisted Hilbert modular L-functions published jointly…

In this paper we introduce the concept of completeness of sets. We study this property on the set of integers. We examine how this property is preserved as we carry out various operations compatible with sets. We also introduce the problem…

$\DeclareMathOperator{\IntR}{Int{}^\text{R}}$Integer-valued rational functions are a natural generalization of integer-valued polynomials. Given a domain $D$, the collection of all integer-valued rational functions over $D$ forms a ring…

We study Lie rings definable in a finite-dimensional theory, extending the results for the finite Morley rank case. In particular, we prove a classification of Lie rings of dimension up to four in the NIP or connected case. In…

The paper studies some properties of the ring of integer-valued quasi-polynomials. On this ring, theory of generalized Euclidean division and generalized GCD are presented. Applications to finite simple continued fraction expansion and…

Since its introduction by P.L. Lions in his lectures and seminars at the College de France, see [9], and also the very helpful notes of Cardialaguet [4] on Lions' lectures, the Master Equation has attracted a lot of interest, and various…

The problem of analyzing the number of number field extensions $L/K$ with bounded (relative) discriminant has been the subject of renewed interest in recent years, with significant advances made by Schmidt, Ellenberg-Venkatesh, Bhargava,…

This document presents a series of open questions arising in matrix computations, i.e., the numerical solution of linear algebra problems. It is a result of working groups at the workshop Linear Systems and Eigenvalue Problems, which was…

In the course of many mathematical developments involving 'number systems' like $\mathbb{N}, \mathbb{Z}, \mathbb{Q}, \mathbb{R}, \mathbb {C}$ etc., it sometimes becomes necessary to abstract away and study certain properties of the number…

Let D\subseteq \mathbb{R} be closed and discrete and f:D^n \to \mathbb{R} be such that f(D^n) is somewhere dense. We show that (\mathbb{R},+,\cdot,f) defines the set of integers. As an application, we get that for every a,b \in \mathbb{R}…

How many natural numbers below $X$ can be written as a sum of $k$ units of the ring of integers of a given number field? We give the asymptotics as $X$ gets large for quadratic number fields. This solves a problem of Jarden and Narkiewicz…

This note grew from the lectures I delivered at ICTP during the Summer School in honor of Hochster and Huneke. Its purpose is to provide an introduction to the notion of equimultiplicity (of numerical invariants of singularities/local…

This paper establishes an analogue of the special chain theorem for the embedding dimension of polynomial rings, with direct application on the (embedding) codimension. In particular, we recover a classic result on the transfer of…

In this paper we discuss applications of our earlier work in studying certain Galois groups and splitting fields of rational functions in $\mathbb Q\left(X_0(N)\right)$ using Hilbert's irreducibility theorem and modular forms. We also…

We initiate the complexity theoretic study of the problem of computing the bits of (real) algebraic numbers. This extends the work of Yap on computing the bits of transcendental numbers like \pi, in Logspace. Our main result is that…
