Let $F$ be a global field, $A$ a central simple algebra over $F$ and $K$ a finite (separable or not) field extension of $F$ with degree $[K:F]$ dividing the degree of $A$ over $F$. An embedding of $K$ in $A$ over $F$ exists implies an…

In the first chapter, we will present a computation of the square value of the module of L functions associated to a Dirichlet character. This computation suggests to ask if a certain ring of arithmetic multiplicative functions exists and…

We use the \emph{unit-graphs} and the \emph{special unit-digraphs} on matrix rings to show that every $n \times n$ nonzero matrix over $\Bbb F_q$ can be written as a sum of two $\operatorname{SL}_n$-matrices when $n>1$. We compute the…

Let F_q be the finite field of q elements. Let H be a multiplicative subgroup of F_q^*. For a positive integer k and element b\in F_q, we give a sharp estimate for the number of k-element subsets of H which sum to b.

The main goal of this paper is to study some properties of an extension of valuations from classical invariants. More specifically, we consider a valued field $(K,\nu)$ and an extension $\omega$ of $\nu$ to a finite extension $L$ of $K$.…

Let A be a commutative domain containing Z which is finitely generated as a Z-algebra, and let a,b,c be non-zero elements of A. It follows from work of Siegel, Mahler, Parry and Lang that the equation (*) ax+by=c has only finitely many…

The multiplicative group of a number field acts by multiplication on the full adele ring of the field. Generalising a theorem of Laca and Raeburn, we explicitly describe the primitive ideal space of the crossed product C*-algebra associated…

Let $S\subseteq R$ be a multiplicatively closed subset of a ring $R$. We extend several results on integral domains to their $S$-versions and establish the $S$-version of Krull intersection theorem. We also show that if $R$ is an $S$-field,…

In this short paper, we will show that the space of real valued uniformly continuous functions defined on a metric space $(X,d)$ is a ring if and only if every subset $A\subset X$ has one of the following properties: $A$ is…

We develop the basic theory of geometrically closed rings as a generalisation of algebraically closed fields, on the grounds of notions coming from positive model theory and affine algebraic geometry. For this purpose we consider several…

We investigate correspondence functors, namely the functors from the category of finite sets and correspondences to the category of $k$-modules, where $k$ is a commutative ring.They have various specific properties which do not hold for…

Consider the following inductively defined set. Given a collection $U$ of unit magnitude complex numbers, and a set initially containing just 0 and 1, through each point in the set, draw lines whose angles with the real axis are in $U$. Add…

We characterize intermediate $\mathbb{R}$-algebras $A$ between the ring of semialgebraic functions ${\mathcal S}(X)$ and the ring ${\mathcal S}^*(X)$ of bounded semialgebraic functions on a semialgebraic set $X$ as rings of fractions of…

In this work, we use the notion of ``symmetry'' of functions for an extension $K/L$ of finite fields to produce extensions of a function field $F/K$ in which almost all places of degree one split completely. Then we introduce the notion of…

In this paper, we develop an explicit method to express finite algebraic numbers (in particular, certain idempotents among them) in terms of linear recurrent sequences, and give applications to the characterization of the splitting primes…

For a totally positive definite quadratic form over the ring of integers of a totally real number field $K$, we show that there are only finitely many totally real field extensions of $K$ of a fixed degree over which the form is universal…

We prove that every place of an algebraic function field F|K of arbitrary characteristic admits local uniformization in a finite extension F' of F. We show that F'|F can be chosen to be normal. If K is perfect and P is of rank 1, then…

Let $(K,\nu)$ be an arbitrary-rank valued field, $R_\nu$ its valuation ring, $K(\alpha)/K$ a separable finite field extension generated over $K$ by a root of a monic irreducible polynomial $f\in R_\nu[X]$. We give necessary and sufficient…

We show finiteness results on torsion points of commutative algebraic groups over a $p$-adic field $K$ with values in various algebraic extensions $L/K$ of infinite degree. We mainly study the following cases: (1) $L$ is an abelian…

In this short note, we will show the following weak evidence of S. Lang conjecture over function fields. Let f : X ---> Y be a projective and surjective morphism of algebraic varieties over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic…
