Let p be a prime. A p-adic functional on a torsion-free abelian group G is a group homomorphism from G to the p-adic integers. The group of all such p-adic functionals is viewed as a p-adic dual group of G, and is studied from the point of…

Conditions are established under which the $p$-adic valuations of the invariant factors (diagonal entries of the Smith form) of an integer matrix are equal to the $p$-adic valuations of the eigenvalues. It is then shown that this…

Let $d\geq 3$ be a fixed integer, and a prime number $p$ such that $\gcd(p,d)=1$. Let $A$ be the adjacency matrix of a random $d$-regular directed graph on $n$ vertices. We show that as a random matrix in ${\mathbb F}_p$, \begin{equation}…

Handelman (J. Operator Theory, 1981) proved that if the spectral radius of a matrix $A$ is a simple root of the characteristic polynomial and is strictly greater than the modulus of any other root, then $A$ is conjugate to a matrix $Z$ some…

The longstanding nonnegative inverse eigenvalue problem (NIEP) is to determine which multisets of complex numbers occur as the spectrum of an entry-wise nonnegative matrix. Although there are some well-known necessary conditions, a solution…

Consider a finite sequence of independent random permutations, chosen uniformly either among all permutations or among all matchings on n points. We show that, in probability, as n goes to infinity, these permutations viewed as operators on…

Given a polynomial matrix P(x) of grade g and a rational function $x(y) = n(y)/d(y)$, where $n(y)$ and $d(y)$ are coprime nonzero scalar polynomials, the polynomial matrix $Q(y) :=[d(y)]^gP(x(y))$ is defined. The complete eigenstructures of…

Let $k$ be an algebraic extension of $\mathbb F_p$ and $K/k$ a regular extension of fields (e.g. $\mathbb F_p(T)/\mathbb F_p$). Let $A$ be a $K$-abelian variety such that all the isogeny factors are neither isotrivial nor of $p$-rank zero.…

In this note, we establish an original result for the thermodynamic formalism in the context of expanding circle transformations with an indifferent fixed point. For an observable whose continuity modulus is linked to the dynamics near such…

We show that the set of periods of an automorphism of the affine plane defined over a $p$-adic field is bounded above by a constant independent from the automorphism. We deduce from this result a new proof in arithmetic dynamics of the…

We investigate certain finiteness questions that arise naturally when studying approximations modulo prime powers of p-adic Galois representations coming from modular forms. We link these finiteness statements with a question by K. Buzzard…

Let $A$ be an $n \times n$ positive definite Hermitian matrix with all eigenvalues between 1 and 2. We represent the permanent of $A$ as the integral of some explicit log-concave function on ${\Bbb R}^{2n}$. Consequently, there is a fully…

We introduce and study the notion of pseudo-Frobenius graded algebra with enough idempotents, showing that it follows the pattern of the classical concept of pseudo-Frobenius (PF) and Quasi-Frobenius (QF) rings, in particular finite…

We prove conditions for equality between the extreme eigenvalues of a matrix and its quotient. In particular, we give a lower bound on the largest singular value of a matrix and generalize a result of Finck and Grohmann about the largest…

We prove model completeness for the theory of addition and the Frobenius map for certain subrings of rational functions in positive characteristic. More precisely: Let $p$ be a prime number, $\mathbb{F}_{p}$ the prime field with $p$…

We prove a number of p-adic congruences for the coefficients of powers of a multivariate polynomial f(x) with coefficients in a ring R of characteristic zero. If the Hasse--Witt operation is invertible, our congruences yield p-adic limit…

Using cyclotomic specializations of the equivariant $K$-theory with respect to a torus action we derive congruences for discrete invariants of exceptional objects in derived categories of coherent sheaves on a class of varieties that…

For p=2 and tame level N=1 we prove that the map from the (Coleman-Mazur) Eigencurve to weight space satisfies the valuative criterion of properness. More informally, we show that the Eigencurve has no "holes"; given a punctured disc of…

In this work we construct an eigencurve for p-adic modular forms attached to an indefinite quaternion algebra over Q. Our theory includes the definition, both as rules on test objects and sections of line bundle, of p-adic modular forms,…

Pseudo-hermitian matrices are matrices hermitian with respect to an indefinite metric. They can be thought of as the truncation of pseudo-hermitian operators, defined over some Krein space, together with the associated metric, to a finite…
