It is well known that there exists a significant equivalence between the vector space $\mathbb{F}_{q}^n$ and the finite fields $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$, and many scholars often view them as the same in most contexts. However, the precise…

We consider a generalisation of a conjecture by Patterson and Wiedemann from 1983 on the Hamming distance of a function from $\mathbb{F}_q^n$ to $\mathbb{F}_q$ to the set of affine functions from $\mathbb{F}_q^n$ to $\mathbb{F}_q$. We prove…

Let $P_1,\dots,P_m\in\mathbb{Z}[y]$ be any linearly independent polynomials with zero constant term. We show that there exists a $\gamma>0$ such that any subset of $\mathbb{F}_q$ of size at least $q^{1-\gamma}$ contains a nontrivial…

In this paper we give a conditional improvement to the Elekes-Szab\'{o} problem over the rationals, assuming the Uniformity Conjecture. Our main result states that for $F\in \mathbb{Q}[x,y,z]$ belonging to a particular family of…

Let $f_1,\dots,f_k \in \mathbb{R}[X]$ be polynomials of degree at most $d$ with $f_1(0)=\dots=f_k(0)=0$. We show that there is an $n<x$ such that $\|f_i(n)\|\ll x^{-1/10.5kd(d-1)+o(1)}$ for all $1\le i\le k$. This improves on an earlier…

We study the set $\mathcal{L}_{F}$ of all $F$-vector spaces $L(P)$ where $P$ is monic and splits over $F$ and $L(Q)$ denotes the set of linear recurrence sequences over $F$ with characteristic polynomial $Q$. We show that $\mathcal{L}_{F}$…

We consider the set of monic irreducible polynomials $P$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ such that the multiplicative order modulo $P$ of some a in $\mathbb{F}_q(T)$ is divisible by a fixed positive integer $d$. Call $R_q(a,d)$ this set.…

Cilleruelo conjectured that for an irreducible polynomial $f \in \mathbb{Z}[X]$ of degree $d \geq 2$ one has $$\log\left[\mathrm{lcm}(f(1),f(2),\ldots f(N))\right]\sim(d-1)N\log N$$ as $N \to \infty$. He proved it in the case $d=2$ but it…

The vector space of all polynomial functions of degree $k$ on a box of dimension $n$ is of dimension ${n \choose k}$. A consequence of this fact is that a function can be approximated on vertices of the box using other vertices to higher…

The set of all subspaces of $\mathbb{F}_q^n$ is denoted by $\mathbb{P}_q(n)$. The subspace distance $d_S(X,Y) = \dim(X)+ \dim(Y) - 2\dim(X \cap Y)$ defined on $\mathbb{P}_q(n)$ turns it into a natural coding space for error correction in…

For an arbitrary quiver Q and dimension vector d we prove that the dimension of the space of cuspidal functions on the moduli stack of representations of Q of dimension d over a finite field F_q is given by a polynomial in q with rational…

In this work, we introduce a natural notion concerning finite vector spaces. A family of $k$-dimensional subspaces of $\mathbb{F}_q^n$, which forms a partial spread, is called almost affinely disjoint if any $(k+1)$-dimensional subspace…

The L'vov-Kaplansky conjecture states that the image of a multilinear noncommutative polynomial $f$ in the matrix algebra $M_n(K)$ is a vector space for every $n \in {\mathbb N}$. We prove this conjecture for the case where $f$ has degree…

Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. Following Medvedev-Scanlon, a polynomial of degree d > 1 is said to be disintegrated if neither f nor -f is linearly conjugate to x^d or T_d(x) where T_d is the Chebyshev…

We study multiplier theorems on a vector-valued function space, which is a generalization of the results of Calder\'on-Torchinsky and Grafakos-He-Honz\'ik-Nguyen, and an improvement of the result of Triebel. For $0<p<\infty$ and $0<q\leq…

Erd\H{o}s, S\'ark\"ozy, and S\'os studied the asymptotics of the maximum size of a subset of $\{1,2,\ldots, N\}$ such that it does not contain $k$ distinct elements whose product is a perfect square. More generally, Verstra\"ete proposed a…

We prove a function-field analogue of Bourgain's $L^2$ pointwise ergodic theorem. Let $q$ be a power of a prime $p$, let $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ be the ring of polynomials over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, and let $\mathbb{F}_q[t][u]$ be the…

Let $W$ be an $n$-dimensional vector space over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of any characteristic and $mW$ denote the direct sum of $m$ copies of $W$. Let $\mathbb{F}_q[mW]^{{\rm GL}(W)}$ and $\mathbb{F}_q(mW)^{{\rm GL}(W)}$ denote the…

For each odd prime power q, we construct an infinite sequence of rational functions f(X) in F_q(X), each of which is exceptional, which means that for infinitely many n the map c-->f(c) induces a bijection of P^1(F_{q^n}). Moreover, each of…

The representations of dimension vector $\alpha$ of the quiver Q can be parametrised by a vector space $R(Q,\alpha)$ on which an algebraic group $\Gl(\alpha)$ acts so that the set of orbits is bijective with the set of isomorphism classes…
