Two rational functions $f,g\in\Bbb F_q(X)$ are said to be {\em equivalent} if there exist $\phi,\psi\in\Bbb F_q(X)$ of degree one such that $g=\phi\circ f\circ\psi$. We give an explicit formula for the number of equivalence classes of…

This paper concerns the enumeration of isomorphism classes of modules of a polynomial algebra in several variables over a finite field. This is the same as the classification of commuting tuples of matrices over a finite field up to…

We show that two number fields with the same zeta function, and even with isomorphic adele rings, do not necessarily have the same class number.

We classify all invariants of the functor $I^n$ (powers of the fundamental ideal of the Witt ring) with values in $A$, that it to say functions $I^n(K)\rightarrow A(K)$ compatible with field extensions, in the cases where $A(K)=W(K)$ is the…

A number field $k$ admits a binary integral quadratic form which represents all integers locally but not globally if and only if the class number of $k$ is bigger than one. In this case, there are only finitely many classes of such binary…

Working in univalent foundations, we investigate the symmetries of spheres, i.e., the types of the form $\mathbb{S}^n = \mathbb{S}^n$. The case of the circle has a slick answer: the symmetries of the circle form two copies of the circle.…

It is known that in Lorentz-violating effective field theory, there is a classical equivalence between certain coefficients ($c$ and $f$), in spite of the fact that the operators the two types of coefficients describe appear to have…

Over a global field any finite number of central simple algebras of exponent dividing $m$ is split by a common cyclic field extension of degree $m$. We show that the same property holds for function fields of two-dimensional excellent…

Let $\mathcal{G}$ be a smooth linear group scheme of finite type. For any positive integer $k$ and a finite field $\mathbb{F}$, let $W_k(\mathbb{F})$ be the ring of Witt vectors of length $k$ over $\mathbb{F}$. We show that the group…

The category $\bcalNT$ was defined in \cite{Lobos2}, it is a category whose objects are commutative nil graded algebras over a field, defined by presentation encoded by triangular matrices. A natural problem related to this category is to…

The Landau-Ginzburg/Conformal Field Theory correspondence predicts tensor equivalences between categories of matrix factorisations of certain polynomials and categories associated to the $N=2$ supersymmetric conformal field theories. We…

A concise review of the notions of elliptic functions, modular forms, and theta-functions is provided, devoting most of the paper to applications to Conformal Field Theory (CFT), introduced within the axiomatic framework of quantum field…

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}_…

Mirror symmetry suggests unexpected relationships between arithmetic properties of distinct families of algebraic varieties. For example, Wan and others have shown that for some mirror pairs, the number of rational points over a finite…

It is shown that there exists a duality among fields. If a field is dual to another field, the solution of the field can be obtained from the dual field by the duality transformation. We give a general result on the dual fields. Different…

In this paper we continue the study of codes over imaginary quadratic fields and their weight enumerators and theta functions. We present new examples of non-equivalent codes over rings of characteristic $p=2$ and $p=5$ which have the same…

We use the Witt index to define and study a refined notion of the local-global principle for isotropy of quadratic forms over a field $k$ and to define and study refined versions of the $m$-invariant of $k$. We also explore connections…

Logarithmic conformal field theory is a rich and vibrant area of modern mathematical physics with well-known applications to both condensed matter theory and string theory. Our limited understanding of these theories is based upon detailed…

For a congruence subgroup $\Gamma$, we define the notion of $\Gamma$-equivalence on binary quadratic forms which is the same as proper equivalence if $\Gamma = \mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb Z)$. We develop a theory on $\Gamma$-equivalence such as…

We establish that all rings of $S$-integers are universally definable in function fields in one variable over certain ground fields including global and non-archimedean local fields. That is, we show that the complement of such a ring of…
