One defines two ways of constructing rational maps derived from other rational maps, in a characteristic-free context. The first introduces the Newton complementary dual of a rational map. One main result is that this dual preserves…

Canonical heights and Arakelov geometry on semi-abelian varieties. In this paper, we propose a construction of the canonical heights on an extension of an abelian variety by the multiplicative group, in the framework of Arakelov geometry.…

In this article, we derive bounds for the canonical Green's function defined on a noncompact hyperbolic Riemann surface, when evaluated at two inequivalent cusps.

We define a canonical form for piecewise defined functions. We show that this has a wider range of application as well as better complexity properties than previous work.

Over finite fields, if the image of a polynomial map is not the entire field, then its cardinality can be bounded above by a significantly smaller value. Earlier results bound the cardinality of the value set using the degree of the…

Maximum nonlinear functions on finite fields are widely used in cryptography because the coordinate functions have large distance to linear functions. More precisely, the Hamming distance to the characteristic functions of hyperplanes is…

We prove a monomialization theorem for mappings in general classes of infinitely differentiable functions that are called quasianalytic. Examples include Denjoy-Carleman classes, the class of $\cC^\infty$ functions definable in a…

We introduce several classes of set-valued maps with generalized convexity. We obtain minimax theorems for set-valued maps which satisfy the introduced properties and are not continuous, by using a fixed point theorem for weakly naturally…

Given two rational maps $\varphi$ and $\psi$ on $\PP^1$ of degree at least two, we study a symmetric, nonnegative-real-valued pairing $<\varphi,\psi>$ which is closely related to the canonical height functions $h_\varphi$ and $h_\psi$…

We provide upper bounds for the cardinality of the value set of a polynomial map in several variables over a finite field. These bounds generalize earlier bounds for univariate polynomials.

We compare general inequalities between invariants of number fields and invariants of abelian varieties over number fields. On the number field side, we remark that there is only a finite number of non-CM number fields with bounded…

Let $X$ be a projective variety over a number field $K$ endowed with a height function associated to an ample line bundle on $X$. Given an algebraic extension $F$ of $K$ with a sufficiently big Northcott number, we can show that there are…

Let X be a minimal complex surface of general type such that its image via the canonical map is a surface; we denote by d the degree of the canonical map. In this expository work, first of all we recall the known possibilities for the…

Canonical matrices of (a) bilinear and sesquilinear forms, (b) pairs of forms, in which every form is symmetric or skew-symmetric, and (c) pairs of Hermitian forms are given over finite fields of characteristic not 2 and over finite…

Finite hypergeometric functions are complex valued functions on finite fields which are the analogue of the classical analytic hypergeometric functions. From the work of N.M.Katz it follows that their values are traces of Frobenius on…

We prove that the graph of a discontinuous $n$-monomial function $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ is either connected or totally disconnected. Furthermore, the discontinuous monomial functions with connected graph are characterized as those…

A certain special function of the generalized hypergeometric variety is shown to fulfill a host of useful noncommutative identities.

Suppose $\{f_t\}$ is an analytic one-parameter family of rational maps defined over a non-Archimedean field $K$. We prove a finiteness theorem for the set of rescalings for $\{f_t\}$. This complements results of J. Kiwi.

Denis associated to each Drinfeld module M over a global function function field L a canonical height function, which plays a role analogous to that of the Neron-Tate height in the context of elliptic curves. We prove that there exist…

Simultaneous Diophantine approximation is concerned with the approximation of a point $\mathbf x\in\mathbb R^d$ by points $\mathbf r\in\mathbb Q^d$, with a view towards jointly minimizing the quantities $\|\mathbf x - \mathbf r\|$ and…
