In this paper, we study questions of definability and decidability for infinite algebraic extensions ${\bf K}$ of $\mathbb{F}_p(t)$ and their subrings of $\mathcal{S}$-integral functions. We focus on fields ${\bf K}$ satisfying a local…

In this paper, we study multiplicative dependence of values of polynomials or rational functions over a number field. As an application, we obtain new results on multiplicative dependence in the orbits of a univariate polynomial dynamical…

Pop proved that a smooth curve C over an ample field K that has a K-rational point has |K| many K-rational points. We strengthen this result by showing that there are |K| many K-rational points that do not lie in a given proper subfield,…

We study rational functions over finite fields under PGL-equivalence. We say that $f, g \in \Bbb F_q(X)$ are \emph{equivalent} if there exist $\psi, \phi \in \Bbb F_q(X)$ of degree one such that $g = \psi \circ f \circ \phi$. Most…

Let $k$ be a field, $G$ be a finite group, $k(x(g):g\in G)$ be the rational function field with the variables $x(g)$ where $g\in G$. The group $G$ acts on $k(x(g):g\in G)$ by $k$-automorphisms where $h\cdot x(g)=x(hg)$ for all $h,g\in G$.…

We here present three characterizations of not necessarily causal, rational functions which are (co)-isometric on the unit circle: (i) Through the realization matrix of Schur stable systems. (ii) The Blaschke-Potapov product, which is then…

We study how the field of definition of a rational function changes under iteration. We provide a complete classification of polynomials with the property that the field of definition of one of their iterates drops in degree (over a given…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$ and let $C/k$ be a smooth connected affine curve. Denote by $\pi_1(C)$ its algebraic fundamental group. The goal of this paper is to characterize a certain subset of closed…

Let $k$ be a number field, $\mathbf{G}$ an algebraic group defined over $k$, and $\mathbf{G}(k)$ the group of $k$-rational points in $\mathbf{G}.$ We determine the set of functions on $\mathbf{G}(k)$ which are of positive type and…

For a given genus $g \geq 1$, we give lower bounds for the maximal number of rational points on a smooth projective absolutely irreducible curve of genus $g$ over ${\mathbb F}_q$. As a consequence of Katz-Sarnak theory, we first get for any…

We describe dynamical properties of a map $\mathfrak{F}$ defined on the space of rational functions. The fixed points of $\mathfrak{F}$ are classified and the long time behavior of a subclass is described in terms of Eulerian polynomials.

Let $G$ be a finite group and $k$ be a field. Let $G$ act on the rational function field $k(x_g:g\in G)$ by $k$-automorphisms defined by $g\cdot x_h=x_{gh}$ for any $g,h\in G$. Noether's problem asks whether the fixed field $k(G)=k(x_g:g\in…

A field k is called anti-Mordellic if every smooth curve over k with a k-point has infinitely many k-points. We prove that for a function field over an anti-Mordellic field, the subfield of constants is defined by a certain universal first…
