A countable group is residually finite if every nontrivial element can act nontrivially on a finite set. When a group fails to be residually finite, we might want to measure how drastically it fails - it could be that only finitely many…

We study just infinite algebras which remain so upon extension of scalars by arbitrary field extensions. Such rings are called stably just infinite. We show that just infinite rings over algebraically closed fields are stably just infinite…

For p = 3 and p = 5, we exhibit a finite nonsolvable extension of the rational numbers which is ramified only at p via explicit computations with Hilbert modular forms.

Let $r,n>1$ be integers and $q$ be any prime power $q$ such that $r\mid q^n-1$. We say that the extension $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}/\mathbb{F}_q$ possesses the line property for $r$-primitive elements property if, for every…

In an earlier paper, we determined the finite fields with indecomposable multiplicative groups and conjectured that there is no infinite field whose multiplicative group is indecomposable. In this paper, we prove this conjecture for several…

A primitive multiple curve is a Cohen-Macaulay irreducible projective curve Y that can be locally embedded in a smooth surface, and such that the associated reduced curve Y_red is smooth. The subject of this paper is the study of…

We consider an analogue of Artin's primitive root conjecture for units in real quadratic fields. Given such a nontrivial unit, for a rational prime p which is inert in the field the maximal order of the unit modulo p is p+1. An extension of…

Given a field $k$ of characteristic zero and an indeterminate $T$, the main topic of the paper is the construction of specializations of any given finite extension of $k(T)$ of degree $n$ that are degree $n$ field extensions of $k$ with…

Let L/K be a finite Galois extension of complete local fields with finite residue fields and let G=Gal(L/K). Let G_1 and G_2 be the first and second ramification groups. Thus L/K is tamely ramified when G_1 is trivial and we say that L/K is…

We prove that a commutative parasemifield S is additively idempotent provided that it is finitely generated as a semiring. Consequently, every proper commutative semifield T that is finitely generated as a semiring is either additively…

We determine all finite primitive groups that are automorphism groups of edge-transitive hypergraphs. This gives an answer to a problem proposed by Babai and Cameron

We prove that if $B\subseteq A$ is an extension of finite dimensional algebras such that the projective dimension of $A/B$ as a $B$-bimodule is finite, if $A$ has finite finitistic dimension, then so does $B$. We exhibit examples…

We introduce a notion of refinements in the context of patching, in order to obtain new results about local-global principles and field invariants in the context of quadratic forms and central simple algebras. The fields we consider are…

Let $K$ be a complete discrete valued field of characteristic $p$ with residue $k$ which is not necessarily perfect. We prove the Conjecture in \cite{cs} that a $p$-algebra over $K$ contains a totally ramified cyclic maximal subfield if it…

We construct examples of non-schematic algebraic spaces that become schemes after finite ground field extensions.

We investigate tameness of Toeplitz shifts. By introducing the notion of extended Bratteli-Vershik diagrams, we show that such shifts with finite Toeplitz rank are tame if and only if there are at most countably many orbits of singular…

The paper is devoted to the study of annihilator extensions of evolution algebras and suggests an approach to classify finite-dimensional nilpotent evolution algebras. Subsequently nilpotent evolution algebras of dimension up to four are…

We define a graph structure associated in a natural way to finite fields that nevertheless distinguishes between different models of isomorphic fields.

The propagator is calculated on a noncommutative version of the flat plane and the Lobachevsky plane with and without an extra (euclidean) time parameter. In agreement with the general idea of noncommutative geometry it is found that the…

For a finite field $\mathbf{F}_{q^r}$ with fixed $q$ and $r$ sufficiently large, we prove the existence of a primitive element outside of a set of $r$ many affine hyperplanes for $q=4$ and $q=5$. This complements earlier results by…
