There are several equivalent characterizations of the valuation rank of an ordered or valued field. In this paper, we extend the theory to the case of an ordered or valued {\it difference} field (that is, ordered or valued field endowed…

We determine the minimum value of thrust for a number of N-particle configurations. For N=5 in three dimensions an exact result is found for the first time. For larger N we obtain numerical results through optimisation. When a definite…

Consider the algebraic function $\Phi_{g,n}$ that assigns to a general $g$-dimensional abelian variety an $n$-torsion point. A question first posed by Kronecker and Klein asks: What is the minimal $d$ such that, after a rational change of…

We give an example of a valued field $(K,A)$ such that the valuation ring $A$ is definable by an $L_{\text{ring}}$-formula without parameters, but there is no $\exists\forall\exists$ or $\forall\exists\forall$-formula in $L_{\text{ring}}$…

Let $\mathbb T$ be the differential field of transseries. We establish some basic properties of the dimension of a definable subset of ${\mathbb T}^n$, also in relation to its codimension in the ambient space ${\mathbb T}^n$. The case of…

We prove upper bounds on the number of rational points on transcendental curves in arbitrary $1$-h-minimal fields, similar to the Pila--Wilkie counting theorem in the o-minimal setting. These results extend results due to…

In this Note we show that the notion of a basis of a finite-dimensional vector space could be introduced by an argument much weaker than Gauss' reduction method. Our aim is to give a short proof of a simply formulated lemma, which in fact…

We provide a sharp upper bound on the quotient of the rank of an A-hypergeometric system with a three-dimensional torus action by the normalized volume of A; in this case, the upper bound is two.

The issues of quintessence and cosmic acceleration can be discussed in the framework of higher order curvature and torsion theories of gravity. We can define effective pressure and energy density directly connected to the curvature or to…

In this paper, we classify Jordan superalgebras of dimension up to three over an algebraically closed field of characteristic different of two. Our main motivation to obtain such classification comes out from the intention to give an answer…

Let k be an algebraically closed field, let K/k be a finitely generated field extension of transcendence degree 2 with automorphism sigma, and let A be an N-graded subalgebra of Q = K[t; sigma] with A_n finite dimensional over k for all n.…

Let $K _{m}$ be an $m$-local field with an $m$-th residue field $K _{0}$, for some integer $m > 0$, and let $K/K _{m}$ be a field extension of transcendence degree trd$(K/K _{m}) \le 1$. This paper shows that if $K _{0}$ is a field of…

In this paper we describe the notion of a toric supervariety, generalizing that of a toric variety from the classical setting. We give a combinatorial interpretation of the category of quasinormal toric supervarieties with one odd dimension…

K be a field and let m and n be positive integers, where m does not exceed n. We say that a non-zero subspace of m x n matrices over K is a constant rank r subspace if each non-zero element of the subspace has rank r, where r is a positive…

The purpose of this note is to give a linear algebra algorithm to find out if a rank of a given tensor over a field $\F$ is at most $k$ over the algebraic closure of $\F$, where $k$ is a given positive integer. We estimate the arithmetic…

In this paper I shall consider various possible scalar-vector-tensor field theories which might be used to describe the Universe. After imposing numerous constraints of a physical and mathematical nature on the theories under consideration,…

As shown in a previous paper, whenever a rational vector field on $\mathbb C^n$, $n>2$, is Liouvillian integrable, then it admits a first integral obtained by two successive integrations from a one-form with coefficients in a finite…

A complete classification of all continuous, epi-translation and rotation invariant valuations on the space of super-coercive convex functions on ${\mathbb R}^n$ is established. The valuations obtained are functional versions of the…
