In 1994, P.-G. Becker and W. Bergweiler listed all the differentially algebraic solutions of three famous functional equations: the Schr{\"o}der's, B{\"o}ttcher's and Abel's equations. The proof of this theorem combines various domains of…

Translated from the Latin original, "Observationes generales circa series, quarum termini secundum sinus vel cosinus angulorum multiplorum progrediuntur" (1777). E655 in the Enestrom index. Euler looks at the binomial expansion $(1+x)^n$…

We give a new construction of the equivariant $K$-theory of group actions (cf. Barwick et al.), producing an infinite loop $G$-space for each Waldhausen category with $G$-action, for a finite group $G$. On the category $R(X)$ of retractive…

Read produced the first example of a Banach space $E_{\text{R}}$ such that the associated Banach algebra $\mathscr{B}(E_{\text{R}})$ of bounded operators admits a discontinuous derivation (J. London Math. Soc. 1989). We generalise Read's…

G\"odel's first and second incompleteness theorems are corner stones of modern mathematics. In this article we present a new proof of these theorems for ZFC and theories containing ZFC, using Chaitin's incompleteness theorem and a very…

Given a group $G$ and an integer $n\geq2$ we construct a new group $\tilde{{\cal K}}(G,n)$. Although this construction naturally occurs in the context of finding new invariants for complex algebraic surfaces, it is related to the theory of…

In 1989 H.Karcher rewrote the theory of elliptic functions through an approach that is much more geometrical than analytical. Therewith he obtained an optimal control over the behaviour and image values of these functions, which allowed for…

We solve the problem of Fourier transformation for the one-dimensional $q$-deformed Heisenberg algebra. Starting from a matrix representation of this algebra we observe that momentum and position are unbounded operators in the Hilbert…

In 1902, P. St\"{a}ckel proved the existence of a transcendental function $f(z)$, analytic in a neighbourhood of the origin, and with the property that both $f(z)$ and its inverse function assume, in this neighbourhood, algebraic values at…

We present AlgCo (Algebraic Coinductives), a practical framework for inductive reasoning over commonly used coinductive types such as conats, streams, and infinitary trees with finite branching factor. The key idea is to exploit the notion…

Let $H$ be an infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space. Denote by ${\mathcal G}_{\infty}(H)$ the Grassmannian formed by closed subspaces of $H$ whose dimension and codimension both are infinite. We say that $X,Y\in {\mathcal…

This submission is a PhD dissertation. It constitutes the summary of the author's work concerning the relations between cohomology rings of algebraic varieties and rings of functions on zero schemes and fixed point schemes. It includes the…

Earlier the authors offered an equivariant version of the classical monodromy zeta function of a G-invariant function germ with a finite group G as a power series with the coefficients from the Burnside ring of the group G tensored by the…

The problem of Bloch electrons in two dimensions subject to magnetic and intense electric fields is investigated. Magnetic translations, electric evolution and energy translation operators are used to specify the solutions of the…

Kuske and Schweikardt introduced the very expressive first-order counting logic FOC(P) to model database queries with counting operations. They showed that there is an efficient model-checking algorithm on graphs with bounded degree, while…

For any complex reflection group $G=G(m,p,n)$, we prove that the $G$-invariants of the division ring of fractions of the $n$:th tensor power of the quantum plane is a quantum Weyl field and give explicit parameters for this quantum Weyl…

Every character on a graded connected Hopf algebra decomposes uniquely as a product of an even character and an odd character (Aguiar, Bergeron, and Sottile, math.CO/0310016). We obtain explicit formulas for the even and odd parts of the…

We revisit a K-theoretical invariant that was invented by the first author some years ago for studying multiparameter bifurcation of branches of critical points of functionals. Our main aim is to apply this invariant to investigate…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be Banach or normed linear spaces and $F\subset X$ a closed set. We apply our recent extension theorem for vector-valued Baire one functions arXiv:1512.03717 to obtain an extension theorem for vector-valued functions…

Let $X$ be a smooth complex algebraic variety and let $\operatorname{Coh} (X)$ denote its Abelian category of coherent sheaves. By the work of W. Lowen and M. Van den Bergh, it is known that the deformation theory of $\operatorname{Coh}…
