We develop a theory of sesquilinear forms over finite fields, investigating their representations via polynomials and coefficient matrices, along with classification results for these forms. Through their connection to quadratic forms, we…

For a given form $F\in \mathbb Z[x_1,\dots,x_s]$ we apply the circle method in order to give an asymptotic estimate of the number of $m$-tuples $\mathbf x_1, \dots, \mathbf x_m$ spanning a linear space on the hypersurface $F(\mathbf x) = 0$…

When k > 1 and s is sufficiently large in terms of k, we derive an explicit multi-term asymptotic expansion for the number of representations of a large natural number as the sum of s positive integral k-th powers.

A positive definite quadratic form is called perfect, if it is uniquely determined by its arithmetical minimum and the integral vectors attaining it. In this self-contained survey we explain how to enumerate perfect forms in $d$ variables…

For closed and oriented hyperbolic surfaces, a formula of Witten establishes an equality between two volume forms on the space of representations of the surface in a semisimple Lie group. One of the forms is a Reidemeister torsion, the…

In an earlier paper [4], we derived asymptotic formulas for the number of representations of zero and of large positive integers by the cubic forms in seven variables which can be written as $L_1(x_1,x_2,x_3) Q_1(x_1,x_2,x_3)+…

Let $a,b>0$ be coprime integers. Assuming a conjecture on Hecke eigenvalues along binary cubic forms, we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of primes of the form $ax^2+by^3$ with $x \leq X^{1/2}$ and $y \leq X^{1/3}$. The proof…

The form factors of integrable models in finite volume are studied. We construct the explicite representations for the form factors in terms of determinants.

In this paper we take an approach similar to that in [M] to establish a positive mass theorem for asymptotically hyperbolic spin manifolds admitting corners along a hypersurface. The main analysis uses an integral representation of a…

For a pair of quadratic forms with rational coefficients in at least $10$ variables, we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of common zeros under the assumption that the two forms determine a projective variety with exactly two…

Assuming that a formal approximation of multiple waves has been obtained by matched asymptotic methods, we derive a {\em Spatial Shadowing lemma} to construct exact solutions near the formal approximation. In Part I, we consider a general…

Integral representations are derived for the parabolic cylinder functions $U(a,x)$, $V(a,x)$ and $W(a,x)$ and their derivatives. The new integrals will be used in numerical algorithms based on quadrature. They follow from contour integrals…

We consider a system of $R$ cubic forms in $n$ variables, with integer coefficients, which define a smooth complete intersection in projective space. Provided $n\geq 25R$, we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of integer points in…

We develop a comprehensive theory of the stable representation categories of several sequences of groups, including the classical and symmetric groups, and their relation to the unstable categories. An important component of this theory is…

We prove that a pair of integral quadratic forms in 5 or more variables will simultaneously represent "almost all" pairs of integers that satisfy the necessary local conditions, provided that the forms satisfy a suitable nonsingularity…

We introduce a new approach to representation theory of finite groups that uses some basic algebraic geometry and allows to do all the theory without using characters. With this approach, to any finite group $G$ we associate a finite number…
