In this paper, we first find the distribution of nth power residues modulo a prime $p$ by analyzing sums involving Dirichlet characters. We then extend this method to characterize the distribution of powers in arbitrary finite fields.
The $H$-ring structure of certain infinite(-dimensional) Grassmannians is discussed using various algebraic and analytical methods but so that cellular arguments are avoided. These methods allow us to discuss these Grassmannian in greater…
We study the arithmetic aspects of the finite group of extensions of abelian varieties defined over a number field. In particular, we establish relations with special values of L-functions and congruences between modular forms.
We classify all cubic extensions of any field of arbitrary characteristic, up to isomorphism, via an explicit construction involving three fundamental types of cubic forms. We deduce a classification of any Galois cubic extension of a…
We demonstrate how concepts of statistical mechanics of interacting particles can have important implications in the choice of interaction potentials to model qualitative properties of cell aggregates in theoretical biology. We illustrate…
In the first part of this article, we consider ruled surfaces defined over a finite field; we introduce invariants for them, and describe some explicit contructions that illustrate possible behaviour of these invariants. In the second part,…
We classify Artin-Schreier extensions of valued fields with non-trivial defect according to whether they are connected with purely inseparable extensions with non-trivial defect, or not. We use this classification to show that in positive…
We set up general machinery to study interpretations of fragments of theories. We then apply this to existential fragments of theories of fields, and especially of henselian valued fields. As an application we prove many-one reductions…
In this note, we prove that an affine cellular algebra $A$ is semisimple if and only if the scheme associated to $A$ is reduced and 0-dimensional, and the bilinear forms with respect to all layers of $A$ are isomorphisms. Moreover, if the…
A cell algebra structure is found for a family of generalized Schur algebras previously studied by the author. This cell algebra structure is then used to construct the irreducible representations of these algebras and to determine when the…
We study vertex algebras and their modules associated with possibly degenerate even lattices, using an approach somewhat different from others. Several known results are recovered and a number of new results are obtained. We also study…
In this paper we study the $p$-adic analytic geometry of the basic unitary group Rapoport-Zink spaces $\M_K$ with signature $(1,n-1)$. Using the theory of Harder-Narasimhan filtration of finite flat groups developed by Fargues in…
The aim of this note is to describe the structure of finite meadows. We will show that the class of finite meadows is the closure of the class of finite fields under finite products. As a corollary, we obtain a unique representation of…
We elaborate on the interpretation of some mixed finite element spaces in terms of differential forms. First we develop a framework in which we show how tools from algebraic topology can be applied to the study of their cohomological…
We investigate finite field extensions of the unital 3-field, consisting of the unit element alone, and find considerable differences to classical field theory. Furthermore, the structure of their automorphism groups is clarified and the…
We prove the dp-finite case of the Shelah conjecture on NIP fields. If K is a dp-finite field, then K admits a non-trivial definable henselian valuation ring, unless K is finite, real closed, or algebraically closed. As a consequence, the…
Let $K$ be a local field of residue characteristic $p$. Let $C$ be a curve over $K$ whose minimal proper regular model has totally degenerate semi-stable reduction. Under certain hypotheses, we compute the prime-to-$p$ rational torsion…
This is a survey on the finite basis problem for varieties of algebraic systems. Our exposition is in two directions: (i) We give numerous examples of varieties which are not finitely based. (ii) We give examples of important varieties with…
We present counting methods for some special classes of multivariate polynomials over a finite field, namely the reducible ones, the s-powerful ones (divisible by the s-th power of a nonconstant polynomial), and the relatively irreducible…
We study the field of moduli of singular abelian and K3 surfaces. We discuss both the field of moduli over the CM field and over $\Q$. We also discuss non-finiteness with respect to the degree of the field of moduli. Finally, we provide an…
