If a real-valued function is continuous on a real interval and it takes on two different values, then it will also take any value in between those two, by the Intermediate Value Theorem. It is not immediately clear what would be a natural…

We provide a new, simple general proof of the formulas giving the infinite sums $\sigma(p,\nu)$ of the inverse even powers $2p$ of the zeros $\xi_{\nu k}$ of the regular Bessel functions $J_{\nu}(\xi)$, as functions of $\nu$. We also give…

We prove surjectivity of certain word maps on finite non-abelian simple groups. More precisely, we prove the following: if N is a product of two prime powers, then the word map sending (x,y) to the product of the Nth powers of x and y is…

Let $p$ be an odd prime number. We prove that for $m\equiv1\mod p$, $x^m$ is perfectly nonlinear over $\mathbb{F}_{p^n}$ for infinitely many $n$ if and only if $m$ is of the form $p^l+1$, $l\in\mathbb{N}$. First, we study singularities of…

Let $A$ be the polynomial ring over $k$ (a field of characteristic zero) in $n+1$ variables. The commuting derivations conjecture states that $n$ commuting locally nilpotent derivations on $A$, linearly independent over $A$, must satisfy…

We present a generalization of the inverse mapping theorem, where variations of a weaker non-expansiveness property (referred to as property ${\sf A}$) replace the key $\mathsf{C}^1$ condition. We also obtain inverse mapping theorems that…

The richly developed theory of complex manifolds plays important roles in our understanding of holomorphic functions in several complex variables. It is natural to consider manifolds that will play similar roles in the theory of holomorphic…

We show that the centralizer of a nonscalar element in the coproduct $k\langle X\rangle *k[Y]$ of a free associative algebra and a polynomial algebra over a given field is commutative. For $k\langle X \rangle$ this is part of Bergman's…

We prove a structure theorem for multiplicative functions which states that an arbitrary bounded multiplicative function can be decomposed into two terms, one that is approximately periodic and another that has small Gowers uniformity norm…

We consider a bivariate rational generating function F(x,y) = P(x,y) / Q(x,y) = sum_{r, s} a_{r,s} x^r y^s under the assumption that the complex algebraic curve $\sing$ on which $Q$ vanishes is smooth. Formulae for the asymptotics of the…

We investigate commutators of free variables of the form \( i[x, s] \), where \( s \) is a semicircular element. We show that although \( s \) and \( i[x, s] \) are not free, their sum nevertheless satisfies the free additive convolution…

The function $p_{xy}$ that interchanges two logical variables $x,y$ in formulas is hard to describe in the following sense. Let $F$ denote the Lindenbaum-Tarski formula-algebra of a finite-variable first order logic, endowed with $p_{xy}$…

This paper proves the approximate intermediate value theorem, constructively and from notably weak hypotheses: from pointwise rather than uniform continuity, without assuming that reals are presented with rational approximants, and without…

We showed with J. P. Gollin that if a (possibly infinite) homogeneous linear equation system has only the trivial solution, then there exists an injective function from the variables to the equations such that each variable appears with…

Free analysis is a quantization of the usual function theory much like operator space theory is a quantization of classical functional analysis. Basic objects of free analysis are noncommutative functions. These are maps on tuples of…

An irreducible element of a commutative ring is absolutely irreducible if no power of it has more than one (essentially different) factorization into irreducibles. In the case of the ring $\text{Int}(D)=\{f\in K[x]\mid f(D)\subseteq D\}$,…

We conjecture that bounded generalised polynomial functions cannot be generated by finite automata, except for the trivial case when they are ultimately periodic. Using methods from ergodic theory, we are able to partially resolve this…

We examine how implicit functions on ILB-Fr\'echet spaces can be obtained without metric or norm estimates which are classically assumed. We obtain implicit functions defined on a domain $D$ which is not necessarily open, but which contains…

In Part 1 we study the spherical functions on compact symmetric pairs of arbitrary rank under a suitable multiplicity freeness assumption and additional conditions on the branching rules. The spherical functions are taking values in the…

It is shown that every polynomial function $P : \mathbb{C}^2\longrightarrow \mathbb{C}$ with irreducible fibres of same a genus is a coordinate. In consequence, there does not exist counterexamples F = (P,Q) to the Jacobian conjecture such…
