In 1984, Kurt Mahler posed the following fundamental question: How well can irrationals in the Cantor set be approximated by rationals in the Cantor set? Towards development of such a theory, we prove a Dirichlet-type theorem for this…

Let K be a number field, let f(x) in K(x) be a rational function of degree d> 1, and let z in K be a wandering point such that f^n(z) is nonzero for all n > 0. We prove that if the abc-conjecture holds for K, then for all but finitely many…

Let $K$ be a number field. The $K$-arithmetic type of a rational prime $\ell$ is the tuple $A_{K}(\ell)=(f^{K}_{1},...,f^{K}_{g_{\ell}})$ of the residue degrees of $\ell$ in $K$, written in ascending order. A well known result of Perlis…

We consider pairs of automorphisms $(\phi,\sigma)$ acting on fields of Laurent or Puiseux series: pairs of shift operators $(\phi\colon x\mapsto x+h_1, \sigma\colon x\mapsto x+h_2)$, of $q$-difference operators $(\phi\colon x\mapsto q_1x,\…

In 1969, I. Bernstein and S. Gelfand introduced an object, which is now called the zeta Mahler function (ZMF, also zeta Mahler measure) and related to the Mahler measure. Here we discuss a family of ZMFs attached to the Laurent polynomials…

Let $F$ be an entire function of exponential type represented by the Taylor series \[ F(z) = \sum_{n\ge 0} \omega_n \frac{z^n}{n!} \] with unimodular coefficients $|\omega_n|=1$. We show that either the counting function $n_F(r)$ of zeroes…

Let $K_0(\mathcal{V}_{K})$ be the Grothendieck ring of varieties over a field $K$ of characteristic zero, and let $\mathbb{L} = [\mathbb{A}^1_{K}]$ denote the Lefschetz class. We prove that if a $K$-variety has $\mathbb{L}$-rational…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be an uncountable field of characteristic zero and let $f$ be a function from $\mathbb{K}^n$ to $\mathbb{K}$. We show that if the restriction of $f$ to every affine plane $L\subset\mathbb{K}^n$ is regular, then $f$ is a…

We associate an $L$-function $L^{\mathrm{near}}(M,s)$ to any geometric motive over a global field $K$ in the sense of Voevodsky. This is a Dirichlet series which converges in some half-plane and has an Euler product factorisation. When $M$…

We consider the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov system of linear differential equations. The coefficients of this system are rational functions. We prove that under some conditions the solution of KZ system is rational too. We give the method of…

We investigate the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov linear differential system. The coefficients of this system are rational functions. We have proved that the solution of the KZ system is rational when k is equal to two and n is equal to three (see…

The calculation, by L.\ Euler, of the values at positive even integers of the Riemann zeta function, in terms of powers of $\pi$ and rational numbers, was a watershed event in the history of number theory and classical analysis. Since then…

We use weighted polynomial approximation to prove the existence of a compact set K with non-empty interior and a function f is dense in the space A(K) of all continuous functions on K that are holomorphic in the interior of K, endowed with…

We consider pro-isomorphic zeta functions of the groups $\Gamma(\mathcal{O}_K)$, where $\Gamma$ is a unipotent group scheme defined over $\mathbb{Z}$ and $K$ varies over all number fields. Under certain conditions, we show that these…

In 1902, Paul St\"ackel constructed an analytic function $f(z)$ in a neighborhood of the origin, which was transcendental, and with the property that both $f(z)$ and its inverse, as well as its derivatives, assumed algebraic values at all…

Linear differential equations with polynomial coefficients over a field $K$ of positive characteristic $p$ with local exponents in the prime field have a basis of solutions in the differential extension $\mathcal{R}_p=K(z_1, z_2,…

Let $G$ be a group, $F$ a field of prime characteristic $p$ and $V$ a finite-dimensional $FG$-module. Let $L(V)$ denote the free Lie algebra on $V$, regarded as an $FG$-module, and, for each positive integer $r$, let $L^r(V)$ be the $r$th…

This is an anthology of series involving rational, factorial, and power functions expressed in terms of special functions. New finite expansions involving quotient functions expressed in terms of the Hurwitz-Lerch zeta function are given.…

Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for a negative integer to be a trivial zero of a new type of $L$-series recently discovered by F. Pellarin, and it is shown that any such trivial zero is simple. We determine the exact degree of…

Given an uncountable algebraically closed field $K$, we proved that if partially defined function $f\colon K \times \dots \times K \dashrightarrow K$ defined on a Zariski open subset of the $n$-fold Cartesian product $K \times \dots \times…
