We describe rational period functions on the Hecke groups and characterize the ones whose poles satisfy a certain symmetry. This generalizes part of the characterization of rational period functions on the modular group, which is one of the…

Using essentially only algebra, we give a proof that a cubic rational function over $\mathbb{C}$ with real critical points is equivalent to a real rational function. We also show that the natural generalization to $\mathbb{Q}_p$ fails for…

We investigate generalized quadratic forms with values in the set of rational integers over quadratic fields. We characterize the real quadratic fields which admit a positive definite binary generalized form of this type representing every…

We introduce and study some families of groups whose irreducible characters take values on quadratic extensions of the rationals. We focus mostly on a generalization of inverse semi-rational groups, which we call uniformly semi-rational…

Recently, a number of interesting relations have been discovered between generalised Pauli/Dirac groups and certain finite geometries. Here, we succeeded in finding a general unifying framework for all these relations. We introduce…

In this paper we develop the formalism of rational complex Bezier curves. This framework is a simple extension of the CAD paradigm, since it describes arc of curves in terms of control polygons and weights, which are extended to complex…

In this paper we characterize the congruence associated to the direct sum of all irreducible representations of a finite semigroup over an arbitrary field, generalizing results of Rhodes for the field of complex numbers. Applications are…

Over a global field (number field or function field of a curve over a finite field), theorems for the Galois cohomology of algebraic groups have long been known. For $F$ the function field of a curve over the formal series field…

A generalization of the classical Lipschitz summation formula is proposed. It involves new polylogarithmic rational functions constructed via the Fourier expansion of certain sequences of Bernoulli--type polynomials. Related families of…

We propose a generalization of tropical curves by dropping the rationality and integrality requirements while preserving the balancing condition. An interpretation of such curves as critical points of a certain quadratic functional allows…

PhD dissertation consists in three lines of investigation involving rational elliptic surfaces, namely 1) a study of conic bundles on these surfaces; 2) an investigation of the possible intersection numbers of two sections and 3) a theorem…

We show sharp square function estimates for curves in the plane whose curvature degenerates at a point and estimates sharp up to endpoints for cones over these curves. To this end, for curves of finite type we extend the classical…

In this paper we show how the superquadratic functions can be used as a tool for researching other types of convex functions like $\phi $-convexity, strong-convexity and uniform convexity. We show how to use inequalities satisfied by…

Let X be a finite set of points in R^n. A polynomial p nonnegative on X can be written as a sum of squares of rational functions modulo the vanishing ideal I(X). From the point of view of applications, such as polynomial optimization, we…

The parametric geometry of numbers of Schmidt and Summerer deals with rational approximation to points in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We extend this theory to a number field $K$ and its completion $K_w$ at a place $w$ in order to treat approximation…

Some sorts of generalized morphisms are defined from very basic mathematical objects such as sets, functions, and partial functions. A wide range of mathematical notions such as continuous functions between topological spaces, ring…

Let $K$ be a number field. This paper considers arithmetic functions over $K$, that are, complex valued functions on the set of nonzero integral ideals in $K$. Firstly we generalize some basic results on arithmetic functions. Next we define…

We investigate complete arcs of degree greater than two, in projective planes over finite fields, arising from the set of rational points of a generalization of the Hermitian curve. The degree of the arcs is closely related to the number of…

We study how well a real number can be approximated by sums of two or more rational numbers with denominators up to a certain size.

For any number field k, upper bounds are established for the number of k-rational points of bounded height on non-singular del Pezzo surfaces defined over k, which are equipped with suitable conic bundle structures over k.
