We call a family G of subsets of [n] a k-generator of (\mathbb{P}[n]) if every (x \subset [n]) can be expressed as a union of at most k disjoint sets in (\mathcal{G}). Frein, Leveque and Sebo conjectured that for any (n \geq k), such a…

Let $F=\mathbb{F}_q(T)$ be the field of rational functions with $\mathbb{F}_q$-coefficients, and $A=\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ be the subring of polynomials. Let $D$ be a division quaternion algebra over $F$ which is split at $1/T$. Given an…

I briefly summarized some recent work which uses the techniques of effective field theory to make quantum predictions in general relativity. In contrast to conventional expectations, these are in fact well behaved. The leading quantum…

The purpose of this article is to give, for any commutative ring A, an explicit minimal set of generators for the ring of multisymmetric functions TS^d_A(A[x_1,...,x_r]) as an A-algebra. In characteristic zero, i.e. when A is an algebra…

Consider a simple algebraic valued field extension $(L/K,v)$ and denote by $\mathcal O_L$ and $\mathcal O_K$ the corresponding valuation rings. The main goal of this paper is to present, under certain assumptions, a description of $\mathcal…

Given a finite group G and a field F, a G-set X gives rise to an F[G]-permutation module F[X]. This defines a map from the Burnside ring of G to its representation ring over F. It is an old problem in representation theory, with…

Let $\mathrm{k}=\mathbb{Q}\left(\sqrt[3]{p},\zeta_3\right)$, where $p$ is a prime number such that $p \equiv 1 \pmod 9$, and let $C_{\mathrm{k},3}$ be the $3$-component of the class group of $\mathrm{k}$. In \cite{GERTH3}, Frank Gerth III…

Let $n$ be a positive integer and let $f_1, \ldots, f_r$ be polynomials in $n^2$ indeterminates over an algebraically closed field $K$. We describe an algorithm to decide if the invertible matrices contained in the variety of $f_1, \ldots,…

Matrix generators for the general and special linear groups, the symplectic groups and the general and special unitary groups over finite fields. For the most part the generators have been obtained by translating Steinberg's generators for…

In recent decades, linear affine threefolds have enabled researchers to solve some of the challenging problems on affine spaces. Koras-Russell threefolds, especially the Russell Cubic over $\mathbb{C}$ and Asanuma threefolds over a field of…

Denote by P(K, k) the members of the field K which are sums of kth powers of field elements, by P+(K, k) the set of members of K which are sums of kth powers of totally positive elements of K. We are interested in deciding whether or not…

Investigations of monogenity and power integral bases were recently extended from the absolute case (over Q) to the relative case (over algebraic number fields). Formerly, in the relative case we only succeeded to calculate generators of…

A finite group $G$ is called $k$-factorizable if for every ordered factorization $|G|=a_1\cdots a_k$ into integers each greater than $1$ there exist subsets $A_1,\dots,A_k\subseteq G$ such that $|A_i|=a_i$ for each $i$ and $G=A_1\cdots…

Let $g$ be a principal modulus with rational Fourier coefficients for a discrete subgroup of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{R})$ between $\Gamma(N)$ or $\Gamma_0(N)^\dag$ for a positive integer $N$. Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field. We give…

Consider the power pseudorandom-number generator in a finite field ${\mathbb F}_q$. That is, for some integer $e\ge2$, one considers the sequence $u,u^e,u^{e^2},\dots$ in ${\mathbb F}_q$ for a given seed $u\in {\mathbb F}_q^\times$. This…

A lesson for the new millennium from quantum field theory: Not all field-theoretic infinities are bad. Some give rise to finite, symmetry-breaking effects, whose consequences are observed in Nature.

Much progress has been made in classifying when the weak Lefschetz property holds for $A=\mathbb{F}[x,y,z]/I$ where $\text{char}(\mathbb{F})=0$ and $I=(x_{1}^{d_{1}},y^{d_{2}},z^{d_{3}},x^{a_{1}}y^{a_{2}}z^{a_{3}})$ is a monomial almost…

The existence of invariant generators for distributions satisfying a compatibility condition with the symmetry algebra is proved.

For a function field $K$ and fixed polynomial $F\in K[x]$ and varying $f\in F$ (under certain restrictions) we give a lower bound for the degree of the greatest prime divisor of $F(f)$ in terms of the height of $f$, establishing a strong…

If $K$ is a field of finite characteristic $p$, $G$ is a cyclic group of order $q=p^\alpha$, $U$ and $W$ are indecomposable $KG$-modules with $\dim U=m$ and $\dim W=n$, and $\lambda(m,n,p)$ is a standard Jordan partition of $ m n$, we…
