Let $k$ be a complete nonarchimedean field and let $X$ be an affinoid closed disc over $k$. We classify the tamely ramified twisted forms of $X$. Generalizing work of P. Russell on inseparable forms of the affine line we construct explicit…

The paper establishes an equivalence between directed homotopy categories of (diagrams of) cubical sets and (diagrams of) directed topological spaces. This equivalence both lifts and extends an equivalence between classical homotopy…

We consider smooth 1-parameter families of plane curves tangent to a semicubic parabola, when the curvature radius of their curves at the tangency point vanishes at the cusp point. We find the $\A$-normal form of these families, their…

We present a complete computational classification of the combinatorial types of hyperplane sections, or slices, of the regular cube up to dimension six. For each dimension, we determine the exact number of distinct combinatorial types.…

Reduced ideals have been defined in the context of integer rings in quadratic number fields, and they are closely tied to the continued fraction algorithm. The notion of this type of ideal extends naturally to number fields of higher…

The problem of the classification of the indefinite binary quadratic forms with integer coefficients is solved introducing a special partition of the de Sitter world, where the coefficients of the forms lie, into separate domains. Every…

This paper explores quadratic forms over finite fields with associated Artin-Schreier curves. Specifically, we investigate quadratic forms of $\mathbb F_{q^n}/\mathbb F_q$ represented by polynomials over $\mathbb F_{q^n}$ with $q$ odd,…

We show that, for Finsler spaces with cubic metric, Landsberg spaces are Berwaldian. Also, for decomposable metrics, we determine specific conditions for a space with cubic metric to be of Berwald type, thus refining the result in [6].

Determining the space of free discrete two generator groups of M\"obius transformations is an old and difficult problem. In this paper we show how to construct large balls of full dimension in this space. To do this, we begin with a marked…

We show that, in the space of all totally real fields equipped with the constructible topology, the set of fields that admit a universal quadratic form, or have the Northcott property, is meager. The main tool is a new theorem on the number…

Given a nonzero integer $d$, we know by Hermite's Theorem that there exist only finitely many cubic number fields of discriminant $d$. However, it can happen that two non-isomorphic cubic fields have the same discriminant. It is thus…

Semifields are semirings in which every nonzero element has a multiplicative inverse. A rough classification uses the characteristic of the semifield, that is the isomorphism type of the semifield generated by the two neutral elements. For…

Rectangular designs are classified as regular, Latin regular, semiregular, Latin semiregular and singular designs. Some series of selfdual as well as alpharesolvable designs are obtained using matrix approaches which belong to the above…

The framework of universal geometry allows us to consider metrical properties of affine views of elliptic curves, even over finite fields. We show how the Neuberg cubic of triangle geometry extends to the finite field situation and provides…

We classify the pairs $(C,G)$ where $C$ is a seminormal curve over an arbitrary field $k$ and $G$ is a smooth connected algebraic group acting faithfully on $C$ with a dense orbit, and we determine the equivariant Picard group of $C$. We…

Varieties without deformations are defined over a number field. Several old and new examples of this phenomenon are discussed such as Bely\u \i\ curves and Shimura varieties. Rigidity is related to maximal Higgs fields which come from…

Some geometry on non-singular cubic curves, mainly over finite fields, is surveyed. Such a curve has 9,3,1 or 0 points of inflexion, and cubic curves are classified accordingly. The group structure and the possible numbers of rational…
