This paper deals with criteria of algebraic independence for the derivatives of solutions of rank one difference equations. The key idea consists in deriving from the commutativity of the differentiation and difference operators a sequence…

The general Galois theory for functions and relational constraints over arbitrary sets described in the authors' previous paper is refined by imposing algebraic conditions on relations.

We develop a theory of linear Mahler systems in several variables from the perspective of transcendence and algebraic independence, which also includes the possibility of dealing with several systems associated with sufficiently independent…

After H\"older proved his classical theorem about the Gamma function, there has been a whole bunch of results showing that solutions to linear difference equations tend to be hypertranscendental i.e. they cannot be solution to an algebraic…

We give some new results on algebraic independence within Mahler's method, including algebraic independence of values at transcendental points. We also give some new measures of algebraic independence for infinite series of numbers. In…

In this paper we discuss applications of our earlier work in studying certain Galois groups and splitting fields of rational functions in $\mathbb Q\left(X_0(N)\right)$ using Hilbert's irreducibility theorem and modular forms. We also…

Generalized non-autonomous linear celullar automata are systems of linear difference equations with many variables that can be seen as convolution equations in a discrete group. We study those systems from the stand point of the Galois…

We make explicit certain results around the Galois correspondence in the context of definable automorphism groups, and point out the relation to some recent papers dealing with the Galois theory of algebraic differential equations when the…

We present a Galois theory of parameterized linear differential equations where the Galois groups are linear differential algebraic groups, that is, groups of matrices whose entries are functions of the parameters and satisfy a set of…

We develop a new method for proving algebraic independence of $G$-functions. Our approach rests on the following observation: $G$-functions do not always come with a single linear differential equation, but also sometimes with an infinite…

We develop a Galois theory for systems of linear difference equations with an action of an endomorphism {\sigma}. This provides a technique to test whether solutions of such systems satisfy {\sigma}-polynomial equations and, if yes, then…

We study the interplay between the differential Galois group and the Lie algebra of infinitesimal symmetries of systems of linear differential equations. We show that some symmetries can be seen as solutions of a hierarchy of linear…

In this paper we focus on functions of the form $A^n\rightarrow \mathcal{P}(B)$, for possibly different arbitrary non-empty sets $A$ and $B$, and where $\mathcal{P}(B)$ denotes the set of all subsets of $B$. These mappings are called…

A self-contained exposition is given of the topological and Galois-theoretic properties of the category of combinatorial 1-complexes, or graphs, very much in the spirit of Stallings. A number of classical, as well as some new results about…

Let $K/\mathbb Q$ be a finite Galois extension. Let $\chi_1,\ldots,\chi_r$ be $r\geq 1$ distinct characters of the Galois group with the associated Artin L-functions $L(s,\chi_1),\ldots, L(s,\chi_r)$. Let $m\geq 0$. We prove that the…

Galois theory is developed using elementary polynomial and group algebra. The method follows closely the original prescription of Galois, and has the benefit of making the theory accessible to a wide audience. The theory is illustrated by a…

We develop a Galois theory for systems of linear difference equations with periodic parameters, for which we also introduce linear difference algebraic groups. We then apply this to constructively test if solutions of linear q-difference…

We study algebraic independence problem for the Taylor coefficients of the Anderson-Thakur series arisen as deformation series of positive characteristic multiple zeta values (abbreviated as MZV's). These Taylor coefficients are simply…

In analogy with the Riemann zeta function at positive integers, for each finite field F_p^r with fixed characteristic p we consider Carlitz zeta values zeta_r(n) at positive integers n. Our theorem asserts that among the zeta values in…

We consider the values at proper fractions of the arithmetic gamma function and the values at positive integers of the zeta function for F_q[theta] and provide complete algebraic independence results for them.
