A set of real $n$th roots that is pairwise linearly independent over the rationals must also be linearly independent. We show how this result may be extended to more general fields.

The paper determines all meromorphic functions with finitely many zeros in the plane having the property that a linear differential polynomial in the function, of order at least 3 and with rational functions as coefficients, also has…

We extend Kolchin's results on linear dependence over projective varieties in the constants, to linear dependence over arbitrary complete differential varieties. We show that in this more general setting, the notion of linear dependence…

We construct a complex entire function with arbitrary number of variables which has the following property: The infinite set consisting of all the values of all its partial derivatives of any orders at all algebraic points, including zero…

Suppose L is any finite algebraic extension of either the ordinary rational numbers or the p-adic rational numbers. Also let g_1,...,g_k be polynomials in n variables, with coefficients in L, such that the total number of monomial terms…

The HRT conjecture states that any finite collection of time-frequency shifts of a non-zero square-integrable function on the real line is linearly independent. In this paper, we establish the linear independence of finite systems of…

The dominant theme of this thesis is that random matrix valued analytic functions, generalizing both random matrices and random analytic functions, for many purposes can (and perhaps should) be effectively studied in that level of…

Given any non-polynomial $G$-function $F(z)=\sum\_{k=0}^\infty A\_k z^k$ of radius of convergence $R$, we consider the $G$-functions $F\_n^{[s]}(z)=\sum\_{k=0}^\infty \frac{A\_k}{(k+n)^s}z^k$ for any integers $s\geq 0$ and $n\geq 1$. For…

In this paper, we introduce a sub-family of the usual generalized Wronskians, that we call geometric generalized Wronskians. It is well-known that one can test linear dependance of holomorphic functions (of several variables) via the…

A brief proof of the statement that the zero-set of a nontrivial real-analytic function in $d$-dimensional space has zero measure is provided.

A recently proposed axiom system for Andr\'e's central translation structures is improved upon. First, one of its axioms turns out to be dependent (derivable from the other axioms). Without this axiom, the axiom system is indeed…

Let $G=\{e^{tA}:t\in\mathbb{R}\}$ be a closed one-parameter subgroup of the general linear group of matrices of order $n$ acting on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ by matrix-vector multiplications. We assume that all eigenvalues of $A$ are rationally…

In this paper we construct an entire function of two variables having the property that its values and its partial derivatives of any order at any distinct algebraic points are algebraically independent. Such an entire function is generated…

We resolve a question of Bank and Laine on the zeros of solutions of $w'' + Aw = 0$ where $A$ is an entire function of finite order.

For certain families of $L$-functions, we prove that if each $L$-function in the family has only real zeros in a fixed yet arbitrarily small neighborhood of $s=1$, then one may considerably improve upon the known results on Landau-Siegel…

If f is a real entire function and ff" has only real zeros then f belongs to the Laguerre-Polya class, the closure of the set of real polynomials with real zeros. This result completes a long line of development originating from a…

We adapt the "royal road" method used to simplify automatic analyticity theorems in noncommutative function theory to several complex variables. We show that certain families of functions must be real analytic if they have certain nice…

We show that there can be no finite list of conditional independence relations which can be used to deduce all conditional independence implications among Gaussian random variables. To do this, we construct, for each $n> 3$ a family of $n$…

Let $f(x,y) \not\equiv 0$ be a real-analytic planar function. We show that, for almost every $R>0$ there exists an analytic 1-parameter family of vector fields $X_{\lambda}$ which has $\{f(x,y)=0\} \cap \bar{B_R((0,0))}$ as a limit periodic…

For a certain class of partitions, a simple qualitative relation is observed between the shape of the Young diagram and the pattern of zeroes of the Wronskian of the corresponding Hermite polynomials. In the case of two-term Wronskian…
