The purpose of this paper is to prove that certain limits of polynomial rings are themselves polynomial rings, and show how this observation can be used to deduce some interesting results in commutative algebra. In particular, we give two…

Motivated by the substantial development of the special functions, we contribute to establish some rigorous results on the general series identities with bounded sequences and hypergeometric functions with different arguments, which are…

We construct differential algebras in which spaces of (one-dimensional) periodic ultradistributions are embedded. By proving a Schwartz impossibility type result, we show that our embeddings are optimal in the sense of being consistent with…

For a reductive group scheme over a regular semi-local ring, we prove an equivarinat version of the Gersten conjecture. We draw some interesting consequences for the representation rings of such reductive group schemes. We also prove the…

Let $R$ be a local principal ideal ring of length two, for example, the ring $R=\Z/p^2\Z$ with $p$ prime. In this paper we develop a theory of normal forms for similarity classes in the matrix rings $M_n(R)$ by interpreting them in terms of…

For any free partially commutative monoid $M(E,I)$, we compute the global dimension of the category of $M(E,I)$-objects in an Abelian category with exact coproducts. As a corollary, we generalize Hilbert's Syzygy Theorem to polynomial rings…

We introduce an intrinsic notion of Hoelder-Zygmund regularity for Colombeau generalized functions. In case of embedded distributions belonging to some Zygmund-Hoelder space this is shown to be consistent. The definition is motivated by the…

We describe a very general abstract form of sieve based on a large sieve inequality which generalizes both the classical sieve inequality of Montgomery (and its higher-dimensional variants), and our recent sieve for Frobenius over function…

We consider a circle of ideas involving differential algebra, local Noetherian rings, and their generic formal fibers. Connecting these ideas gives rise to what we term a "twisted" subring $R$ of a ring $S$. Each such subring $R$ arises as…

The direct summand conjecture asserts that if R is a regular local ring and S is a module-finite R-algebra containing R, then R is a direct summand of S as an R-module. It was previously known to be true if R contains a field or if dim R is…

Beginning with a review of the arguments leading to the so-called c=1 barrier in the continuum formulation of noncritical string theory, the pathology is then exhibited in a discretized version of the theory, formulated through dynamical…

Theory of motivic superpolynomials is developed, including its extension to algebraic links colored by rows, relations to $L$-functions of plane curve singularities, the justification of the motivic versions of Weak Riemann Hypothesis, and…

We describe a recursive algorithm that decomposes an algebraic set into locally closed equidimensional sets, i.e. sets which each have irreducible components of the same dimension. At the core of this algorithm, we combine ideas from the…

We study the normal bundles of the exceptional sets of isolated simple small singularities in the higher dimension when the Picard group of the exceptional set is $\mathbb{Z}$ and the normal bundle of it has some good filtration. In…

In the first part of this doctoral thesis we develop a regularity theory for a polyconvex functional in compressible elasticity. In the second part, we will concentrate on uniqueness questions in various situations of finite elasticity.…

Let R be a real closed field. The Pierce-Birkhoff conjecture says that any piecewise polynomial function f on R^n can be obtained from the polynomial ring R[x_1,...,x_n] by iterating the operations of maximum and minimum. The purpose of…

We introduce a new notion of "regularity structure" that provides an algebraic framework allowing to describe functions and / or distributions via a kind of "jet" or local Taylor expansion around each point. The main novel idea is to…

We formulate analogues, for Noetherian local $\mathbb Q$-algebras which are not necessarily regular, of the injectivity part of Gersten's conjecture in algebraic $K$-theory, and prove them in various cases. Our results suggest that the…

Let V be a normal affine variety over the real numbers R, and let S be a semi-algebraic subset of V(R). We study the subring B(S) of the coordinate ring of V consisting of the polynomials that are bounded on S. We introduce the notion of…

We prove some new cases of the Grothendieck-Serre conjecture for classical groups. This is based on a new construction of the Gersten-Witt complex for Witt groups of Azumaya algebras with involution on regular semilocal rings, with explicit…
