In this paper I consider polynomial composites with the coefficients from $K\subset L$. We already know many properties, but we do not know the answer to the question of whether there is a relationship between composites and field…

We prove that an irreducible polynomial derivation in positive characteristic is a Jacobian derivation if and only if there exists an n-1-element p-basis of its ring of constants. In the case of two variables we characterize these…

Let $G$ be a reductive group over a field $k$ which is algebraically closed of characteristic $p \neq 0$. We prove a structure theorem for a class of subgroup schemes of $G$, for $p$ bounded below by the Coxeter number of $G$. As…

Let L be a linear difference operator with polynomial coefficients. We consider singularities of L that correspond to roots of the trailing (resp. leading) coefficient of L. We prove that one can effectively construct a left multiple with…

The resolvent degree $\textrm{rd}_{\mathbb{C}}(n)$ is the smallest integer $d$ such that a root of the general polynomial $$f(x) = x^n + a_1 x^{n-1} + \ldots + a_n$$ can be expressed as a composition of algebraic functions in at most $d$…

In the present paper, we provide a lower bound of the essential dimension over a field of positive characteristic via Kato's cohomology group, defined by cokernel of a general Artin-Schreier operator. Combining this with Tignol's result on…

To each finite Coxeter system (W,S) and to each weight function L, Lusztig has defined the notions of constructible characters and of Lusztig families of W, using the so-called J-induction. Whenever L is constant, and using a general…

Let $G$ be a group acting on a field $L$, and suppose that $L /L^G$ is a finite extension. We show that the category of semilinear representations of $G$ over $L$ can be described in terms of the category of linear representations of $H$,…

In [2], an exhaustive construction is achieved for the class of all 4-dimensional unital division algebras over finite fields of odd order, whose left nucleus is not minimal and whose automorphism group contains Klein's four-group. We…

We study the question of Eulerianity (factorizability) for Fourier coefficients of automorphic forms, and we prove a general transfer theorem that allows one to deduce the Eulerianity of certain coefficients from that of another…

Let $K$ be any field with $\textup{char}K\neq 2,3$. We classify all cubic homogeneous polynomial maps $H$ over $K$ with $\textup{rk} JH\leq 2$. In particular, we show that, for such an $H$, if $F=x+H$ is a Keller map then $F$ is invertible,…

We classify the pairs of polynomials $f,g$ over a field $K$, such that $f(X)-g(Y)$ has a factor of total degree at most 2. This was done by Y. Bilu for characteristic 0 fields $K$. As his method does not work in positive characteristic, we…

This paper has been withdrawn by the author. The statement of the Main Theorem but is wrong in general, there have been provided counterexamples. The main theorem only holds conditionally, under the finiteness statement of theorem 2.8.

We initiate the representation theory of restricted Lie superalgebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>2. A superalgebra generalization of the celebrated Kac-Weisfeiler Conjecture is formulated, which exhibits a…

We solve a question of Gowers from 2009 on clique differences in chains, thus ruling out any Sperner-type proof of the polynomial density Hales-Jewett theorem for alphabets of size 2.

Let G be a semisimple almost simple algebraic group defined and split over a nonarchimedean local field K and let S be the Steinberg representation of G(K). Let t be be a very regular semisimple element of G(K). In this paper we give a…

This paper is an introduction, in a simplified setting, to Lusztig's theory of character sheaves. It develops a notion of character sheaves on reductive Lie algebras which is more general then such notion of Lusztig, and closer to Lusztig's…

Let $A$ be a retract of the polynomial ring in three variables over a field $k$. It is known that if ${\rm char}\: (k) = 0$ or ${\rm tr.deg}\:_k A \not= 2$ then $A$ is a polynomial ring. In this paper, we give some sufficient conditions for…

Let G be a split simple group of type G_2 over a field k, and let g be its Lie algebra. Answering a question of Colliot-Th\'el\`ene, Kunyavski\u{i}, Popov, and Reichstein, we show that the function field k(g) is generated by algebraically…

Theorem 7 in Ref. [Linear Algebra Appl., 430, 1-6, (2009)] states sufficient conditions to determine whether a pair generates the algebra of 3x3 matrices over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. In that case, an explicit…
