We introduce and study a natural class of fields in which certain first-order definable sets are existentially definable, and characterise this class by a number of equivalent conditions. We show that global fields belong to this class, and…

A function field over a finite field is called maximal if it achieves the Hasse-Weil bound. Finding possible genera that maximal function fields achieve has both theoretical interest and practical applications to coding theory and other…

The classification of maximal function fields over a finite field is a difficult open problem, and even determining isomorphism classes among known function fields is challenging in general. We study a particular family of maximal function…

We give a definition of a class of Dedekind domains which includes the rings of integers of global fields and give a proof that all rings in this class have finite ideal class group. We also prove that this class coincides with the class of…

In this paper, plane polynomial systems having a singular point attracting all orbits in positive time are classified up to topological equivalence. This is done by assigning a combinatorial invariant to the system (a so-called "feasible…

Let X be a complex affine curve (not isomorphic to the affine line), and let Pic(D) be the group of autoequivalences of the category of D(X)-modules. Cannings and Holland have shown that Pic(D) fits into an exact sequence in which the other…

In this paper we study some special classes of division algebras over a Laurent series field with arbitrary residue field. We call the algebras from these classes as splittable and good splittable division algebras. It is shown that these…

We establish bounds on a finite separable extension of function fields in terms of the relative class number, thus reducing the problem of classifying extensions with a fixed relative class number to a finite computation. We also solve the…

Indices of singular points of a vector field or of a 1-form on a smooth manifold are closely related with the Euler characteristic through the classical Poincar\'e--Hopf theorem. Generalized Euler characteristics (additive topological…

We give a criterion for group elements to have fixed points with respect to a semi-simple action on a complete CAT(0) space of finite topological dimension. As an application, we show that Thompson's group T and various generalizations of…

For $\mathrm{O}(\mathrm{q},k)$, the orthogonal group over a field $k$ of characteristic 2 with respect to a quadratic form $\mathrm{q}$, we discuss the isomorphism classes of fixed points of involutions. When the quadratic space is either…

In this paper we study the existence and uniqueness of fixed points of a class of mappings defined on complete, (sequentially compact) cone metric spaces, without continuity conditions and depending on another function.

Suppose one is given a discrete group G, a cocompact proper G-manifold M, and a G-self-map f of M. Then we introduce the equivariant Lefschetz class of f, which is globally defined in terms of cellular chain complexes, and the local…

We construct families of rational functions $f \colon \bP^1_k \to \bP^1_k$ of degree $d \geq 2$ over a perfect field $k$ whose associated fixed-point processes fail to be martingales. Conversely, for any normal variety $X \subset…

Finite collections of point masses contained in some bounded domain produce a unique field in the exterior domain, which means that the associated basis functions (often called ``fundamental solutions'') are independent. A new proof of this…

The multiplicative group of a finite field is well known to be cyclic; in this note, we determine the finite fields whose multiplicative groups are direct sum indecomposable. We obtain our classification using a direct argument and also as…

We use the functional renormalization group and the $\epsilon$-expansion concertedly to explore multicritical universality classes for coupled $\bigoplus_i O(N_i)$ vector-field models in three Euclidean dimensions. Exploiting the…

Let $\phi$ be an endomorphism of the projective line defined over a global field $K$. We prove a bound for the cardinality of the set of $K$-rational preperiodic points for $\phi$ in terms of the number of places of bad reduction. The…

We develop a general theory of (extended) inner autoequivalences of objects of any 2-category, generalizing the theory of isotropy groups to the 2-categorical setting. We show how dense subcategories let one compute isotropy in the presence…

In a paper from 2011, Jiang, Wang and Zhang studied the fixed points and fixed subgroups of selfmaps on a connected finite graph or a connected compact hyperbolic surface $X$. In particular, for any selfmap $f: X\to X$, they proved that a…
