Work of Kazhdan-Lusztig and Bezrukavnikov suggests the importance of points in affine Springer fibers for which the associated conjugacy class in the finite dimensional Lie algebra is regular. Such points are characterized in a different…

Let $C$ be a regular geometrically integral curve over an imperfect field $K$ and assume that it admits a non-smooth point $\mathfrak{p}$ which -- seen as a prime of the separable function field $K(C)|K$ -- is non-decomposed in the base…

Let phi be a morphism of projective N-space defined over a number field K. We prove that there is a bound B depending only on phi such that every twist of phi has no more than B K-rational preperiodic points. (This result is analagous to a…

In this work we prove that the set of points at infinity $S_\infty:={\rm Cl}_{{\mathbb R}{\mathbb P}^m}(S)\cap\mathsf{H}_\infty$ of a semialgebraic set $S\subset{\mathbb R}^m$ which is the image of a polynomial map $f:{\mathbb…

Let $P\in\mathbb{P}_1(\mathbb{Q})$ be a periodic point for a monic polynomial with coefficients in $\mathbb{Z}$. With elementary techniques one sees that the minimal periodicity of $P$ is at most $2$. Recently we proved a generalization of…

Let E/k be an elliptic curve over a number field. We obtain some quantitative refinements of results of Hindry-Silverman, giving an upper bound for the number of k-rational torsion points, and a lower bound for the canonical height of…

The main theme of this paper is the connection between the existence of infinitely many periodic orbits for a Hamiltonian system and the behavior of its action or index spectrum under iterations. We use the action and index spectra to show…

The goal of this paper is to show there is a single orbit of the c.e. sets with inclusion, $\mathcal{E}$, such that the question of membership in this orbit is $\Sigma^1_1$-complete. This result and proof have a number of nice corollaries:…

Fix a number field k. We prove that if there is an algorithm for deciding whether a smooth projective geometrically integral k-variety has a k-point, then there is an algorithm for deciding whether an arbitrary k-variety has a k-point and…

Let $\Phi$ be a family of functions analytic in some neighborhood of a complex domain $\Omega$, and let $T$ be a Hilbert space operator whose spectrum is contained in $\overline\Omega$. Our typical result shows that under some extra…

Under ABC, Silverman showed that there are infinitely many non-Wieferich primes with respect to any (non-trivial) base $a$. Recently Srinivas and Subramani proved an analogous result over number fields with trivial class group. In the first…

For any positive integer $k>1$, we classify the antipodal point arrangements on the sphere $S^k$ up to an isomorphism, by associating a finite complete set of cycle invariants.

We show that on any translation surface, if a regular point is contained in a simple closed geodesic, then it is contained in infinitely many simple closed geodesics, whose directions are dense in the unit circle. Moreover, the set of…

We establish effective bounds on the number of periodic points of degree-$d$ polynomials $\phi$ defined over $p$-adic fields and number fields, under a mild reduction hypothesis that is satisfied by all unicritical polynomials $X^d + c$…

Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a semifinite von Neumann algebra with a faithful, normal, semifinite trace $\tau$ and $E$ be a strongly symmetric Banach function space on $[0,\tau(1))$. We show that an operator $x$ in the unit sphere of…

We consider the subgroup of points of finite orbit through the action of an endomorphism of a virtually free group, with particular emphasis on the subgroup of eventually fixed points, EvFix($\varphi$): points whose orbit contains a fixed…

We prove a conjecture of Medvedev and Scanlon in the case of regular morphisms of semiabelian varieties. That is, if $G$ is a semiabelian variety defined over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic $0$, and $\varphi\colon G\to…

We consider a product of two finite order quantum $SU(2)$-gates $U_1$, $U_2$ and ask when $U_1\cdot U_2$ has an infinite order. Using the fact that $SU(2)$ is a double cover of $SO(3)$ we actually study the product $O(\gamma,\vec{k}_{12})$…

Bernoulli convolutions are certain measures on the unit interval depending on a parameter $\beta$ between 1 and 2. In spite of their simple definition, they are not yet well understood. We study their two-dimensional density which exists by…
