This paper is concerned with Mahler's method. We study in detail the structure of linear relations between values of Mahler functions at algebraic points. In particular, given a field ${\bf k}$, a Mahler function $f(z)\in{\bf k}\{z\}$, and…

A strategy to address the inverse Galois problem over Q consists of exploiting the knowledge of Galois representations attached to certain automorphic forms. More precisely, if such forms are carefully chosen, they provide compatible…

Here we characterise in a complete and explicit way the relations of algebraic dependence over $\QQ$ of complex values of Hecke-Mahler series taken at algebraic points of the multiplicative group $\GG_m^2(\CC)$. Our result contains previous…

We develop a Galois theory for linear differential equations equipped with the action of an endomorphism. This theory is aimed at studying the difference algebraic relations among the solutions of a linear differential equation. The Galois…

We extend and apply the Galois theory of linear differential equations equipped with the action of an endomorphism. The Galois groups in this Galois theory are difference algebraic groups and we use structure theorems for these groups to…

We prove an Ax-Lindemann-Weierstrass differential transcendence result for Euler's gamma function, namely that the functions $\Gamma(\nu-\zeta_1(\nu)),\dots,\Gamma(\nu-\zeta_n(\nu))$ are differentially independent over the field of rational…

We present a theory for splitting algebras of monic polynomials over rings, and apply the results to symmetric functions, and Galois theory. Our main result is that the ring of invariants of a splitting algebra under the symmetric group…

We develop Kummer theory for algebraic function fields in finitely many transcendental variables. We consider any finitely generated Kummer extension (possibly, over a cyclotomic extension) of an algebraic function field, and describe the…

We introduce a generalisation of norm relations in the group algebra Q[G], where G is a finite group. We give some properties of these relations, and use them to obtain relations between the S-unit groups of different subfields of the same…

Using tools from the Siegel-Shidlovskii theory of transcendental numbers, we prove that a nontrivial solution of the Airy equation, its derivative, and an antiderivative are algebraically independent over the field of rational functions.…

The analytic properties of automorphic L-functions have historically been obtained either through integral representations (the "Rankin-Selberg method"), or properties of the Fourier expansions of Eisenstein series (the "Langlands-Shahidi…

We give another proof of a result of Adamczewski and Bell concerning Mahler equations: A formal power series satisfying a $p-$ and a $q-$Mahler equation over ${\mathbb C}(x)$ with multiplicatively independent positive integers $p$ and $q$…

We construct Mahler discrete residues for rational functions and show that they comprise a complete obstruction to the Mahler summability problem of deciding whether a given rational function $f(x)$ is of the form $g(x^p)-g(x)$ for some…

In this article, we establish a Liouville-type inequality for polynomials evaluated at the values of arbitrary Siegel E-functions at non-zero algebraic points. Additionally, we provide a comparable result within the framework of Mahler M…

We derive integrable equations starting from autonomous mappings with a general form inspired by the multiplicative systems associated to the affine Weyl group E$_8^{(1)}$. Five such systems are obtained, three of which turn out to be…

In this paper we establish a new case of Langlands functoriality. More precisely, we prove that the tensor product of the compatible system of Galois representations attached to a level-1 classical modular form and the compatible system…

We prove that all algebraic relations over $\overline{\mathbb Q}$ between values of Siegel's $E$-functions at some non-zero algebraic point have a functional source, in that they can be obtained as degeneration of $\delta$-algebraic…

Let C be an algebraically closed field and X a projective curve over C. Consider an ordinary linear differential equation, or a linear differ- ence equation, with coefficients in the field of rational functions of X, and assume that its…

The present paper essentially contains two results that generalize and improve some of the constructions of [arXiv:0801.1493]. First of all, in the case of one derivation, we prove that the parameterized Galois theory for difference…

Here we propose a survey on Mahler's theory for transcendence and algebraic independence focusing on certain applications to the arithmetic of periods of Anderson t-motives.
