We give a function field specific, algebraic proof of the main results of class field theory for abelian extensions of degree coprime to the characteristic. By adapting some methods known for number fields and combining them in a new way,…
Curves over finite fields are of great importance in cryptography and coding theory. Through studying their zeta-functions, we would be able to find out vital arithmetic and geometric information about them and their Jacobians, including…
Ananyevsky has recently computed the stable operations and cooperations of rational Witt theory. These computations enable us to show a motivic analog of Serre's finiteness result: Theorem: Let $k$ be a field. Then $\pi^{\mathbb{A}^1}_…
This article studies the set of R-equivalence classes of the group of proper projective similitudes of an algebra with involution of the first kind. The main results concern base fields of characteristic different from 2 over which every…
The purpose of this paper is to give a linear and effective height inequality for algebraic points on curves over functional fields. Our height inequality can be viewed as the logarithmic canonical class inequality of a punctured curve over…
In this paper, we formulate and prove a duality for cohomology of curves over perfect fields of positive characteristic with coefficients in Neron models of abelian varieties. This is a global function field version of the author's previous…
For two closed curves on a plane (discrete version) and local criteria for similarity of points on the curves one gets a potential, which describes the similarity between curve points. This is the base for a global similarity measure of…
We extend Latimer and MacDuffee's theorem to a general commutative domain and apply this result to study similarity of matrices over integral rings of number fields. We also conjecture similarity over discrete valuation rings can be descent…
We introduce the notion of hyperbolic equivalence for quadric bundles and quadratic forms on vector bundles and show that hyperbolic equivalent quadric bundles share many important properties: they have the same Brauer data; moreover, if…
The Witt group of a smooth curve over a real closed field is explicitely calculated. The method uses a comparison theorem between the graded Witt group and the etale cohomology groups. In the second part of the paper, the torsion Picard…
We generalize the functorial quasi-isomorphism in \cite{Davis2011} from overconvergent Witt de-Rham cohomology to rigid cohomology on smooth varieties over a finite field $k$, dropping the quasi-projectiveness condition. We do so by…
We investigate modularity of elliptic curves over a general totally real number field, establishing a finiteness result for the set non-modular $j$-invariants. By analyzing quadratic points on some modular curves, we show that all elliptic…
We study anisotropic universal quadratic forms over semi-global fields; i.e., over one-variable function fields over complete discretely valued fields. In particular, given a semi-global field $F$, we compute both the $m$-invariant of $F$…
Let $G$ be a finite group and $K$ a finite field of characteristic $2$. Denote by $t$ the $2$-rank of the commutator factor group $G/G'$ and by $s$ the number of self-dual simple $KG$-modules. Then the Witt group of equivariant quadratic…
We extend field patching to the setting of Berkovich analytic geometry and use it to prove a local-global principle over function fields of analytic curves. We apply this result to quadratic forms, and combine it with sufficient conditions…
The statement of the Riemann hypothesis makes sense for all global fields, not just the rational numbers. For function fields, it has a natural restatement in terms of the associated curve. Weil's work on the Riemann hypothesis for curves…
Inspired by the invariant of a number field given by its zeta function, we define the notion of {\it weak arithmetic equivalence}, and show that under certain ramification hypothesis, this equivalence determines the local root numbers of…
Covariance is a useful property for handling supergravity theories. In this paper, we prove a covariance property of supergravity field equations: under reasonable conditions, field equations of supergravity are covariant modulo other field…
We say that a field extension $L/F$ has the descent property for isometry (resp. similarity) of quadratic or symmetric bilinear forms if any two forms defined over $F$ that become isometric (resp. similar) over $L$ are already isometric…
We prove a few uniform versions of the Mordell-Lang Conjecture and of the Shafarevich Conjecture for curves over function fields and their rational points. The main focus is on function fields having high transcendence degree over the…
