We exhibit infinite lists of ramification indices $\delta$ for which the classical Lie groups over the ring of integers of $p$-adic fields admit a faithful self-similar action on a regular rooted $\delta$-ary tree in such a way that the…

In the paper Sato (2006) there are introduced two families of improper random integrals and the corresponding two convolution semigroups of infinitely divisible laws on $\Rset^d$. Theorem 3.1 gives a relation (a factorization property)…

For a valued field $(K,v)$, with a fixed extension of $v$ to the algebraic closure $\overline K$ of $K$, and an element $\theta\in\overline K$, we are interested in the possible values of $\theta-\theta'$ where $\theta'$ runs through all…

Context. Variability-intensive programs (program families) appear in many application areas and for many reasons today. Different family members, called variants, are derived by switching statically configurable options (features) on and…

Let $p$ be an odd prime number. We construct explicit uniformizers for the totally ramified extension $\mathbb{Q}_p(\zeta_{p^2},\sqrt[p]{p})$ of the field of $p$-adic numbers $\mathbb{Q}_p$, where $\zeta_{p^2}$ is a primitive $p^2$-th root…

Let $\Omega$ be an algebraic closure of ${\mathbb Q}_p$ and let $F$ be a finite extension of ${\mathbb Q}_p$ contained in $\Omega$. Given positive integers $f$ and $e$, the number of extensions $K/F$ contained in $\Omega$ with residue…

In this note, we describe a family of particular algebraic, and nonquadratic, power series over an arbitrary finite field of characteristic 2, having a continued fraction expansion with all partial quotients of degree one. The main purpose…

We consider Reinforced Random Walks where transition probabilities are a function of the proportion of times the walk has traversed an edge. We give conditions for recurrence or transience. A phase transition is observed, similar to…

Let $c$ be a positive odd integer and $R$ a set of $n$ primes coprime with $c$. We consider equations $X + Y = c^z$ in three integer unknowns $X$, $Y$, $z$, where $z > 0$, $Y > X > 0$, and the primes dividing $XY$ are precisely those in…

In this paper we examine the commutativity of ideal extensions. We introduce methods of constructing such extensions, in particular we construct a noncommutative ring T which contains a central and idempotent ideal I such that T/I is a…

This paper discusses examples of integral factorial ratios of height 2 or more. It classifies (apart from finitely many examples) such factorial ratios with height 2 and norm at most 1/3, and describes a general result which exhibits more…

Although in general there is no meaningful concept of factorization in fields, that in free associative algebras (over a commutative field) can be extended to their respective free field (universal field of fractions) on the level of…

Let $K$ be a field complete with respect to a discrete valuation $v$ of residue characteristic $p$. Let $f(z) \in K[z]$ be a separable polynomial of the form $z^\ell-c.$ Given $a \in K$, we examine the Galois groups and ramification groups…

We construct a family of birational maps acting on two dimensional projective varieties, for which the growth of the degrees of the iterates is cubic. It is known that this growth can be bounded, linear, quadratic or exponential for such…

We study the structure of the codifferent and of additively indecomposable integers in families of totally real cubic fields. We prove that for cubic orders in these fields, the minimal trace of indecomposable integers multiplied by totally…

In this short note we construct two families of examples of large stratifying systems in module categories of algebras. The first examples consists on stratifying systems of infinite size in the module category of an algebra $A$. In the…

We undertake a study of extensions of unirational algebraic groups. We prove that extensions of unirational groups are also unirational over fields of degree of imperfection $1$, but that this fails over every field of higher degree of…

Given a hilbertian field $k$ of characteristic zero and a finite Galois extension $E/k(T)$ with group $G$ such that $E/k$ is regular, we produce some specializations of $E/k(T)$ at points $t_0 \in \mathbb{P}^1(k)$ which have the same Galois…

Let $G\subset x{\mathbb F}_q[\![x]\!]$ ($q$ is a power of the prime $p$) be a subset of formal power series over a finite field such that it forms a compact abelian $p$-adic Lie group of dimension $d\ge 1$. We establish a necessary and…
