We prove that the existential theory of any function field $K$ of characteristic $p> 0$ is undecidable in the language of rings provided that the constant field does not contain the algebraic closure of a finite field. We also extend the…

We have proved the following Problem:{\it Let $R$ be a $\mathbb{C}$-affine domain, let $T$ be an element in $R \setminus \mathbb{C}$ and let $i : \mathbb{C}[T] \hookrightarrow R$ be the inclusion. Assume that $R/TR \cong_{\mathbb{C}}…

We develop a new method to deal with the Cancellation Conjecture of Zariski in different environments. We prove the conjecture for free associative algebras of rank two. We also produce a new proof of the conjecture for polynomial algebras…

In this note, we offer a short proof of V. V. Shchigolev's result that over any field k of characteristic p>2, the T-space generated by x_1^p,x_1^px_2^p,... is finitely based, which answered a question raised by A. V. Grishin. More…

For every $n \in \mathbb{N}$ and every field $K$, let $N(n,K)$ be the set of the nilpotent $n \times n$ matrices over $K$ and let $D(n,K) $ be the set of the $n \times n$ matrices over $K$ which are diagonalizable over $K$. Moreover, let…

In this paper we establish the convergence case of Khintchine's theorem for affine hyperplanes in function field of positive characteristic. Along with that, we also prove a quantitative version of the same. The main technique used in the…

We prove that every projective variety of dimension n over a field of positive characteristic admits a morphism to projective n-space, etale away from the hyperplane H at infinity, which maps a chosen divisor into H and a chosen smooth…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. Let $A$ be an affine domain over $K$ with transcendence degree 1 which is not isomorphic to $K[x]$, and let $B$ be a domain over $K$. We show that the AK invariant…

We study a noncommutative version of the Zariski cancellation problem for some classes of connected graded Artin-Schelter regular algebras of global dimension three.

Let $r$ and $n$ be positive integers such that $r<n$, and $\mathbb{K}$ be an arbitrary field. We determine the maximal dimension for an affine subspace of $n$ by $n$ symmetric (or alternating) matrices with entries in $\mathbb{K}$ and with…

We prove that every geometrically reduced projective variety of pure dimension n over a field of positive characteristic admits a morphism to projective n-space, etale away from the hyperplane H at infinity, which maps a chosen divisor into…

In the current paper we show that the dimension of a family $V$ of irreducible reduced curves in a given ample linear system on a toric surface $S$ over an algebraically closed field is bounded from above by $-K_S.C+p_g(C)-1$, where $C$…

Let A be a ring of dimension d and let P be a projective A-module of rank d. We prove that if for every finite extension R of A, R^d is cancellative, then P is cancellative. This gives an alternate proof of Bhatwadekar's result: every…

We consider the Zariski space of all places of an algebraic function field $F|K$ of arbitrary characteristic and investigate its structure by means of its patch topology. We show that certain sets of places with nice properties (e.g., prime…

We address a variant of Zariski Cancellation Problem, asking whether two varieties which become isomorphic after taking their product with an algebraic torus are isomorphic themselves. Such cancellation property is easily checked for…

Motivated by the Shapiro Shapiro conjecture, we consider the following: given a field $k$, under what conditions must a rational function with only $k$-rational ramification points be equivalent (after post-composition with a fractional…

Let $K$ be an arbitrary field of characteristic 0, and $\Aff^n$ the $n$-dimensional affine space over $K$. A well-known cancellation problem asks, given two algebraic varieties $V_1, V_2 \subseteq \Aff^n$ with isomorphic cylinders $V_1…

We consider the function $x^{-1}$ that inverses a finite field element $x \in \mathbb{F}_{p^n}$ ($p$ is prime, $0^{-1} = 0$) and affine $\mathbb{F}_{p}$-subspaces of $\mathbb{F}_{p^n}$ such that their images are affine subspaces as well. It…
