Let $K$ be a number field, $\overline{\mathbb Q}$, or the field of rational functions on a smooth projective curve over a perfect field, and let $V$ be a subspace of $K^N$, $N \geq 2$. Let $Z_K$ be a union of varieties defined over $K$ such…

Let $A$ be a simple abelian variety of dimension $g$ over the field $\mathbb{F}_q$. The paper provides improvements on the Weil estimates for the size of $A(\mathbb{F}_q)$. For an arbitrary value of $q$ we prove $(\lfloor(\sqrt{q}-1)^2…

There exist numerous results in the literature proving that within certain families of totally real number fields, the minimal rank of a universal quadratic lattice over such a field can be arbitrarily large. Kala introduced a technique of…

Several recent papers construct auxiliary polynomials to bound the Weil height of certain classes of algebraic numbers from below. Following these techniques, the author gave a general method for introducing auxiliary polynomials to…

We show that for each abelian number field $K$ of sufficiently large degree $d$ there exists an element $\alpha\in K$ with $K=\IQ(\alpha)$ and absolute Weil height $H(\alpha)\ll_d |\Delta_K|^{1/2d}$ , where $\Delta_K$ denotes the…

Let $H$ be a finite-dimensional weak Hopf algebra over a field $k$ and $A/B$ be a right faithfully flat weak $H$-Galois extension. We prove that if the finitistic dimension of $B$ is finite, then it is less than or equal to that of $A$.…

For $q>1$ we consider expansions in base $q$ over the alphabet $\{0,1,q\}$. Let $\mathcal{U}_q$ be the set of $x$ which have a unique $q$-expansions. For $k=2, 3,\cdots,\aleph_0$ let $\mathcal{B}_k$ be the set of bases $q$ for which there…

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…

Let F be an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic p. The third author and Will Turner gave an explicit description of the extension algebra of Weyl modules for GL_2(F). This, in particular, produced an explicit basis. We…

An extension $K/k$ of analytic (i.e. real valued complete) fields is called small if it is topologically-algebraically generated by finitely many elements. We prove that this property is inherited by subextensions and hence topological…

We study the minimal number of variables required by a totally positive definite diagonal universal quadratic form over a real quadratic field $\mathbb Q(\sqrt D)$ and obtain lower and upper bounds for it in terms of certain sums of…

The study of Property (B) starts as a special case of Lehmer's conjecture. An algebraic field is said to satisfy Property (B) if there exists a positive constant bounding by below the height of every point of infinite order. In this paper…

Let $p$ and $q$ be two positive primes. Let $\ell$ be an odd positive prime integer and $F$ a quadratic number field. Let $K$ be an extension of $F$ such that $K$ is a dihedral extension of $\Q$ of degree $\ell$ over $F$ or $K$ is an…

Let $p$ be a prime and let $\mathbb{Q}_p$ be the field of $p$-adic numbers. It is known that the finite extensions of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ of a given degree are finite up to isomorphism. Given a cubic field extension $L$ of $\mathbb{Q}_p$…

The height of an algebraic number $\alpha$ is a measure of how arithmetically complicated $\alpha$ is. We say $\alpha$ is totally $p$-adic if the minimal polynomial of $\alpha$ splits completely over the field $\mathbb{Q}_p$ of $p$-adic…

Let $V$ and $W$ be quiver representations over $\mathbb{F}_1$ and let $K$ be a field. The scalar extensions $V^K$ and $W^K$ are quiver representations over $K$ with a distinguished, very well-behaved basis. We construct a basis of…

For every field $F$ which has a quadratic extension $E$ we show there are non-metabelian infinite-dimensional thin graded Lie algebras all of whose homogeneous components, except the second one, have dimension $2$. We construct such Lie…

Let us consider a generalized Artin-Schreier algebraic function field extension $F$ of the rational function field $\F_{p^n}(x)$ defined over the finite field extension $K=\F_{p^n}$ of the prime field $\F_p$. We assume that $K$ is…

The defect of valued field extensions is a major obstacle in open problems in resolution of singularities and in the model theory of valued fields, whenever positive characteristic is involved. We continue the detailed study of defect…

In 2018, Legrand and Paran proved a weaker form of the Inverse Galois Problem for all Hilbertian fields and all finite groups: that is, there exist possibly non-Galois extensions over given Hilbertian base field with given finite group as…
