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…
It is shown that the sum of class numbers of orders in totally complex quartic fields with no real quadratic subfield obeys an asymptotic law similar to the prime numbers, as the bound on the regulators tends to infinity. Here only orders…
We discuss a multiplicative counterpart of Freiman's $3k-4$ theorem in the context of a function field $F$ over an algebraically closed field $K$. Such a theorem would give a precise description of subspaces $S$, such that the space $S^2$…
We study the structure of an algebraically closed field with extra function resembling the classical exponentiation on complex numbers.
Pseudoaffine theories are characterized by formal replacement of the level to the fractional number: $k\to\frac{k}{q}$, where $q$ is integer strange to $k(g+k)$ ($g$ - dual Coxeter number). An example of "forbidden" $q$ is considered…
In this paper we find a new lower bound on the number of imaginary quadratic extensions of the function field $\mathbb{F}_{q}(x)$ whose class groups have elements of a fixed odd order. More precisely, for $q$, a power of an odd prime, and…
We construct a counterexample to the Rank versus Genus Conjecture, i.e. a closed orientable hyperbolic 3-manifold with rank of its fundamental group smaller than its Heegaard genus. Moreover, we show that the discrepancy between rank and…
In this article we prove a reciprocity law in number fields with odd class number that specializes to Scholz's reciprocity law over the rationals.
Counterexamples to the Modular Isomorphism Problem were discovered recently. These are non-isomorphic finite $2$-groups $G$ and $H$ that have isomorphic group algebras over the field $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ and non-isomorphic group…
We prove a uniqueness theorem for a large class of functional equations in the plane, which resembles in form a classical result of Aczel. It is also shown that functional equations in this class are overdetermined in the sense of Paneah.…
We consider cubic number fields ordered by their discriminants, and show that there exist arbitrarily long sequences that contain only fields with class numbers greater than a given bound.
For a subgroup of $PGL(2,q)$ we show how some irreducible polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_q$ arise from the field of invariant rational functions. The proofs rely on two actions of $PGL(2,F)$, one on the projective line over a field $F$ and…
We consider a function-field analogue of Dirichlet series associated with the Goldbach counting function, and prove that it can, or cannot, be continued meromorphically to the whole plane. When it cannot, we further prove the existence of…
Students having had a semester course in abstract algebra are exposed to the elegant way in which finite group theory leads to proofs of familiar facts in elementary number theory. In this note we offer two examples of such group…
We give a simple and a more explicit proof of a mod $4$ congruence for a series involving the little $q$-Jacobi polynomials which arose in a recent study of a certain restricted overpartition function.
We give a cycle-theoretic proof of the Gross-Zagier conjecture in weight four for several modular curves of genus zero.
This paper is devoted to the proof Gauss' divergence theorem in the framework of "ultrafunctions". They are a new kind of generalized functions, which have been introduced recently [2] and developed in [4], [5] and [6]. Their peculiarity is…
We narrow the gap between the family of graphs that do and the family of graphs that do not satisfy the fat minor conjecture by obtaining much simpler counterexamples than were previously known, including $K_t, t \geq 6$ and $K_{s,t}, s,t…
We study the class number one problem for real quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{9m^2+ 4m})$, where $m$ is an odd integer. We show that for $m \equiv 1 \pmod 3$ there is only one such field with class number one and only one such field…
We prove several results concerning genus numbers of quintic fields: we compute the proportion of quintic fields with genus number one; we prove that a positive proportion of quintic fields have arbitrarily large genus number; and we…
