In their paper on the embeddings of the line in the plane, Abhyankar and Moh proved an important inequality, now known as the Abhyankar-Moh inequality, which can be stated in terms of the semigroup associated with the branch at infinity of…

The condition of plane polynomial curve to be a line in well-known Abhyankar-Moh Theorem is replaced by weaker ones. A criterion of embedded line is obtained from this strong theorem: Two polynomials can generate the entire polynomial ring…

We introduce the class of plane valuations at infinity and prove an analogue to the Abhyankar-Moh (semigroup) Theorem for it.

This paper has two objectives: we first generalize the theory of Abhyankar-Moh to quasi-ordinary polynomials, then we use the notion of approximate roots and that of generalized Newton polygons in order to prove the embedding conjecture for…

For an arbitrary hypersurface singularity, we construct a family of semigroups associated with algebraically closed fields that arise as an infinite union of rings of series. These semigroups extend the value semigroup of a plane curve…

Let $f$ be a plane curve. We give a procedure based on Abhyankar's approximate roots to detect if it has a single place at infinity, and if so construct its associated $\delta$-sequence, and consequently its value semigroup. Also for fixed…

Using the theory of minimal models of quasi-projective surfaces we give a new proof of the theorem of Lin-Zaidenberg which says that every topologically contractible algebraic curve in the complex affine plane has equation $X^n=Y^m$ in some…

Abhyankar proved that every field of finite transcendence degree over $\mathbb{Q}$ or over a finite field is a homomorphic image of a subring of the ring of polynomials $\mathbb{Z}[T_1, \dots, T_n]$ (for some $n$ depending on the field). We…

In his previous paper, the author proposed as a problem a purely inseparable analogue of the Abhyankar conjecture for affine curves in positive characteristic and gave a partial answer to it, which includes a complete answer for finite…

Two plane analytic branches are topologically equivalent if and only if they have the same multiplicity sequence. We show that having same semigroup is equivalent to having same multiplicity sequence, we calculate the semigroup from a…

This paper investigates two classes of quasilinear and essentially nonlinear integral equations with a sum-difference kernel on the half-line. Such equations arise in various areas of physics, including the theory of radiative transfer in…

We prove that an injection from the integer set into the real line admits a quasiconformal extension to the complex plane if and only if it is quasisymmetric.

We give lower bounds for the degree of the discriminant with respect to y of separable polynomials f in K[x,y] over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Depending on the invariants involved in the lower bound, we give a…

In this paper, we contribute toward a classification of two-variable polynomials by classifying (up to an automorphism of $C^2$) polynomials whose Newton polygon is either a triangle or a line segment. Our classification has several…

We prove a refinement of the inequality by Hoffmann-Jorgensen that is significant for three reasons. First, our result improves on the state-of-the-art even for real-valued random variables. Second, the result unifies several versions in…

Let $U$ be an affine smooth curve defined over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. The Abhyankar Conjecture (proved by Raynaud and Harbater in 1994) describes the set of finite quotients of Grothendieck's \'etale…

We present some fundamental results on (possibly nonlinear) algebraic semigroups and monoids. These include a version of Chevalley's structure theorem for irreducible algebraic monoids, and the description of all algebraic semigroup…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and let $\mathbb{K}_{C}[[x_{1},...,x_{e}]]$ be the ring of formal power series in several variables with exponents in a line free cone $C$. We consider irreducible…

A graph drawing in the plane is called an almost embedding if the images of any two non-adjacent simplices (i.e. vertices or edges) are disjoint. Almost embeddings (more precisely, their higher-dimensional analogues) naturally appear in…

The practically important classes of equal-input and of monotone Markov matrices are revisited, with special focus on embeddability, infinite divisibility, and mutual relations. Several uniqueness results for the classic Markov embedding…
