Let f be a degree d polynomial defined over the nonarchimedean field C_p, normalized so f is monic and f(0)=0. We say f is post-critically bounded, or PCB, if all of its critical points have bounded orbit under iteration of f. It is known…
If the $\ell$-adic cohomology of a projective smooth variety, defined over a $\frak{p}$-adic field $K$ with finite residue field $k$, is supported in codimension $\ge 1$, then any model over the ring of integers of $K$ has a $k$-rational…
A vector is \emph{dyadic} if each of its entries is a dyadic rational number, i.e. of the form $\frac{a}{2^k}$ for some integers $a,k$ with $k\geq 0$. A linear system $Ax\leq b$ with integral data is \emph{totally dual dyadic} if whenever…
Let $k$ be a field, $V$ a $k$-vector space and $X$ be a subset of $V $. A function $f:X\to k$ is weakly polynomial of degree $\leq a$, if the restriction of $f$ on any affine subspace $L\subset X$ is a polynomial of degree $\leq a$. In this…
Let $K$ be an absolutely unramified $p$-adic field. We establish a ramification bound, depending only on the given prime $p$ and an integer $i$, for mod $p$ Galois representations associated with Wach modules of height at most $i$. Using an…
For a $t$-nomial $f(x) = \sum_{i = 1}^t c_i x^{a_i} \in \mathbb{F}_q[x]$, we show that the number of distinct, nonzero roots of $f$ is bounded above by $2 (q-1)^{1-\varepsilon} C^\varepsilon$, where $\varepsilon = 1/(t-1)$ and $C$ is the…
Let h = \sum h_{\alpha \beta} X^\alpha Y^\beta be a polynomial with complex coefficients. The Lojasiewicz exponent of the gradient of h at infinity is the upper bound of the set of all real \lambda such that |grad h(x, y)| >=…
We verify a conjecture of Emil Artin, for the case of a Cubic and Quadratic form over any $p$-adic field, provided the cardinality of the residue class field exceeds 293. That is any Cubic and Quadratic form with at least 14 variables has a…
In this follow-up paper, we again inspect a surprising relationship between the set of fixed points of a polynomial map $\varphi_{d, c}$ defined by $\varphi_{d, c}(z) = z^d + c$ for all $c, z \in \mathcal{O}_{K}$ or $\in \mathbb{Z}_{p}$ or…
We prove two related concentration inequalities concerning the number of rational points of hyperelliptic curves over subsets of a finite field. In particular, we investigate the probability of a large discrepancy between the numbers of…
Let $k$ be a non-Archimedean field, $X$ a $k$-affinoid space and $f$ an analytic function over $X$. We precisely describe how the geometric connected components of the spaces $\{x \in X, |f(x)| \ge \varepsilon\}$ behave with regards to…
Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 and let D_m be the dihedral group of order 2m with m= 4t, with t bigger than 2. We classify all finite-dimensional Nichols algebras over D_m and all finite-dimensional pointed Hopf…
Let $p$ be a prime integer and $F$ the function field in two algebraically independent variables over a smaller field $F_0$. We prove that if $\operatorname{char}(F_0)=p\geq 3$ then there exist $p^2-1$ cyclic algebras of degree $p$ over $F$…
Let $k$ be a number field, let $\theta$ be a nonzero algebraic number, and let $H(\cdot)$ be the Weil height on the algebraic numbers. In response to a question by T. Loher and D. W. Masser, we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of…
Let $K$ be a global field of positive characteristic. We give an asymptotic formula for the number of $K$-points of bounded height on the Hilbert scheme $\text{Hilb}^2\mathbb{P}^2$ and show that by eliminating an exceptional thin set, the…
Suppose that $d \geq 2$, and that $A \subset [0,1]$ has sufficiently large dimension, $1 - \epsilon_d < \dim_H(A) < 1$. Then for any polynomial $P$ of degree $d$ with no constant term, there exists a point configuration $\{ x, x-t,x-P(t) \}…
Cohn asks if for every real quadratic field Q(m) with discriminant d there exists a non-maximal order corresponding to f > 1 such that the relative class number Hd(f) = h(f2d)/h(d) is one. We prove that when m = 46 (and in seven other…
We develop a theory of vector-valued heights and intersections defined relative to finitely generated extensions K/k. These generalize both number field and geometric heights. When k is Q or F_p, or when a non-isotriviality condition holds,…
What use can there be for a function from the $p$-adic numbers to the $q$-adic numbers, where $p$ and $q$ are distinct primes? The traditional answer, courtesy of the half-century old theory of non-archimedean functional analysis: not much.…
Consider a continuous surjective self map of the open annulus with degree d > 1. It is proved that the number of Nielsen classes of periodic points is maximum possible whenever f has a completely invariant essential continuum. The same…
