Planar functions over finite fields give rise to finite projective planes and other combinatorial objects. They exist only in odd characteristic, but recently Zhou introduced an even characteristic analogue which has similar applications.…

A number field $K$ is called \emph{monogenic} if its ring of integers $\mathbb{Z}_K$ can be expressed as a simple ring extension $\mathbb{Z}[\alpha]$ for some $\alpha \in \mathbb{Z}_K$. A monic irreducible polynomial $f(x)\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$…

We say that an ideal I is homogeneous, if its restriction to any I-positive subset is isomorphic to I. The paper investigates basic properties of this notion -- we give examples of homogeneous ideals and present some applications to…

We derive the Taylor polynomial of a function, which is $m$-times continuously differentiable and positive homogeneous of order $m$. The Taylor polynomial in $a$ for $f(b)$ of order $m$ in general is a polynomial of order $m$ in $b-a$. If…

Let $p$ be an odd prime, $q=p^e$, $e\ge 1$, and $\mathbb{F} = \mathbb{F_q}$ denote the finite field of $q$ elements. Let $f: \mathbb{F}^2\to \mathbb{F}$ and $g: \mathbb{F}^3\to \mathbb{F}$ be functions, and let $P$ and $L$ be two copies of…

Let $W$ be an $n$-dimensional vector space over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of any characteristic and $mW$ denote the direct sum of $m$ copies of $W$. Let $\mathbb{F}_q[mW]^{{\rm GL}(W)}$ and $\mathbb{F}_q(mW)^{{\rm GL}(W)}$ denote the…

Let $a$ be an integer and $p$ a prime so that $f(x)=x^p-a$ is irreducible. Write $f^n(x)$ to indicate the $n$-fold composition of $f(x)$ with itself. We study the monogenicity of number fields defined by roots of $f^n(x)$ and give necessary…

The nonzero level sets of a homogeneous, logarithmically homogeneous, or translationally homogeneous function are affine spheres if and only if the Hessian determinant of the function is a multiple of a power or an exponential of the…

An algebraic variety $X$ is called a homogeneous space if there exists a transitive regular action of an algebraic group on $X$. We prove inequalities between the dimension of a homogeneous space of a linear algebraic group and its Picard…

Let $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ be a finite field with $q^n$ elements, and let $m_1$ and $m_2$ be positive integers. Given polynomials $f_1(x), f_2(x) \in \mathbb{F}_q[x]$ with $\textrm{deg}(f_i(x)) \leq m_i$, for $i = 1, 2$, and such that the…

An algebra $\mathcal{A}$ of real or complex valued functions defined on a set $\mathbf{T}$ shall be called \textit{homotonic} if $\mathcal{A}$ is closed under forming of absolute values, and for all $f$ and $g$ in $\mathcal{A}$, the product…

Homogeneous spaces are de Branges' Hilbert spaces of entire functions with the property that certain weighted rescaling transforms induce isometries of the space into itself. A classical example of a homogeneous space is the Paley-Wiener…

We classify compact homogeneous geometries of irreducible spherical type and rank at least 2 which admit a transitive action of a compact connected group, up to equivariant 2-coverings. We apply our classification to polar actions on…

We prove that if $f$ is a reduced homogenous polynomial of degree $d$, then its $F$-pure threshold at the unique homogeneous maximal ideal is at least $\frac{1}{d-1}$. We show, furthermore, that its $F$-pure threshold equals $\frac{1}{d-1}$…

The study of finite projective planes involves planar functions, namely, functions f : F_q --> F_q such that, for each nonzero a in F_q, the function c --> f(c+a) - f(c) is a bijection on F_q. Planar functions are also used in the…

Let $c(x_1,...,x_d)$ be a multihomogeneous central polynomial for the $n\times n$ matrix algebra $M_n(K)$ over an infinite field $K$ of positive characteristic $p$. We show that there exists a multihomogeneous polynomial $c_0(x_1,...,x_d)$…

A prime $p$ is called a Wieferich prime if $2^{p-1}\equiv 1 \pmod{p^2}$. A monic polynomial $f(x)\in {\mathbb Z}[x]$ of degree $N\ge 2$ is called monogenic if $f(x)$ is irreducible over ${\mathbb Q}$ and…

We investigate homogeneity in the special Colombeau algebra. It is shown that strongly scaling invariant functions on the d-dimensional space are simply the constants. On the pierced space, strongly homogeneous functions admit tempered…

We consider the problem of characterizing all functions $f$ defined on the set of integers modulo $n$ with the property that an average of some $n$th roots of unity determined by $f$ is always an algebraic integer. Examples of such…
