We present a theory of the $b$-function (or Bernstein-Sato polynomial) in positive characteristic. Let $f$ be a non-constant polynomial with coefficients in a perfect field $k$ of characteristic $p>0.$ Its $b$-function $b_f$ is defined to…

In this article, we develop a positive characteristic analogue of the Bernstein--Sato theory for holonomic D-modules in the complex setting. We work with D-modules on a Noetherian regular $F$-finite $\mathbb{F}_p$-scheme $X$, and define…

In this note we show that finitely generated unit $O_X[\sigma]$--modules for $X$ regular and $F$--finite have a minimal root (in the sense of [Lyubeznik, F-modules] Definition~3.6). This problem was posed by Lyubeznik and answered by…

Let $X$ be a smooth proper scheme over an algebraically closed field $k$ in characteristic $p$. In this short note, by interpreting $\mathcal{D}_{X}$-modules as $F$-divided sheaves and establishing a cohomological boundedness property for…

Given a $D$-module $M$ generated by a single element, and a polynomial $f$, one can construct several $D$-modules attached to $M$ and $f$ and can define the notion of the (generalized) $b$-function following M. Kashiwara. These modules are…

We prove a theorem which provides a method for constructing points on varieties defined by certain smooth functions. We require that the functions are definable in a definably complete expansion of a real closed field and are locally…

We prove the following two results 1. For a proper holomorphic function $ f : X \to D$ of a complex manifold $X$ on a disc such that $\{df = 0 \} \subset f^{-1}(0)$, we construct, in a functorial way, for each integer $p$, a geometric…

Suppose that $F$ is a smooth and connected complex surface (not necessarily compact) containing a smooth rational curve with positive self-intersection. We prove that if there exists a non-constant meromorphic function on $F$, then the…

Let B be a commutative B\'ezout domain B and let MSpec(B) be the maximal spectrum of B. We obtain a Feferman-Vaught type theorem for the class of B-modules. We analyse the definable sets in terms, on one hand, of the definable sets in the…

This paper shows that for certain local topological properties, given a locally quasi-finite, flat and locally finitely presented map of schemes $f\colon X\to Y$, if $Y$ has the property, then so does $X$. We also show that being locally…

Let G be a finite group scheme over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. Assume further that the connected component of G is unipotent. It is shown that the projectivity of a rational G-module can be detected on a…

We give a direct and elementary proof of the theorem on formal functions by studying the behaviour of the Godement resolution of a sheaf of modules under completion.

We demonstrate that any function $f$ from a finite set $Y$ to itself can be represented linearly. Specifically, we prove the existence of an injective map $j$ from $Y$ into a modular ring $\mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z}$ and a constant $a \in…

We give an introduction to a theory of b-functions, i.e. Bernstein-Sato polynomials. After reviewing some facts from D-modules, we introduce b-functions including the one for arbitrary ideals of the structure sheaf. We explain the relation…

We study the constructible Witt theory of \'etale sheaves of $\Lambda$-modules on a scheme $X$ for coefficient rings $\Lambda$ having finite characteristic not equal to 2 and prime to the residue characteristics of the scheme $X$. Our…

$B$-terms are built from the $B$ combinator alone defined by $B\equiv\lambda fgx. f(g~x)$, which is well known as a function composition operator. This paper investigates an interesting property of $B$-terms, that is, whether repetitive…

We prove that $\omega$-regular languages accepted by B\"uchi or Muller automata satisfy an effective automata-theoretic version of the Baire property. Then we use this result to obtain a new effective property of rational functions over…

The author was recently able to provide a cohomological interpretation of Tate's Riemann-Roch formula for number fields using some new harmonic analysis objects, ghost-spaces. When trying to investigate these objects in general, we realized…

We prove the Cone Theorem for algebraically integrable foliations. As a consequence, we show that termination of flips implies the b-nefness of the moduli part of a log canonical pair with respect to a contraction, generalising the case of…

When $R$ is a non-archimedean real closed field we say that a function $f\in R(\bar{X})$ is finitary at a point $\bar{b}\in R^n$ if on some neighborhood of $\bar{b}$ the defined values of $f$ are in the finite part of $R$. In this note we…
