Regular groups and fields are common generalizations of minimal and quasi-minimal groups and fields, so the conjectures that minimal or quasi-minimal fields are algebraically closed have their common generalization to the conjecture that…

Let $f(x_1,...,x_k)$ be a polynomial over a field $K$. This paper considers such questions as the enumeration of the number of nonzero coefficients of $f$ or of the number of coefficients equal to $\alpha\in K^*$. For instance, if $K=\ff_q$…

Let M be a filtered module. Some properties of elements of M are "generic" in the following sense: (being open/stable) if an element z of M has a property P then any approximation of z has P; (being dense) any element of M is approximated…

For a field K, rational function phi in K(z) of degree at least two, and alpha in P^1(K), we study the polynomials in K[z] whose roots are given by the solutions to phi^n(z) = alpha, where phi^n denotes the nth iterate of phi. When the…

Let $U/L$ be a finite abelian extension of number fields. We first construct a universal primitive generator of $U$ over $L$ whose relative trace to any intermediate field $F$ becomes a generator of $F$ over $L$, too. We also develop a…

For $q>0$ let $\cA$ denote the unital $\ast$-algebra with generator $x$ and defining relation $xx^\ast=qxx^\ast$. Based on this algebra we study $q$-normal operators, the complex $q$-moment problem, positive elements and sums of squares.

Formalization of mathematics is a major topic, that includes in particular numerical analysis, towards proofs of scientific computing programs. The present study is about the finite element method, a popular method to numerically solve…

Assume $F$ is a finite field of order $p^f$ and $q$ is an odd prime for which $p^f-1=sq^m$, where $m \ge 1$ and $(s,q)=1$. In this article, we obtain the order of symmetric and unitary subgroup of the semisimple group algebra $FC_q.$…

W. M. Schmidt, A. D. Pollington, and F. Schweiger have studied when normality with respect to one expansion is equivalent to normality with respect to another expansion. Following in their footsteps, we show that when $Q$ is an eventually…

Thomas-Fermi theory is developed to evaluate nuclear matrix elements averaged on the energy shell, on the basis of independent particle Hamiltonians. One- and two-body matrix elements are compared with the quantal results and it is…

We consider elements of finite order in the Riordan group $\cal R$ over a field of characteristic $0$. Viewing $\cal R$ as a semi-direct product of groups of formal power series, we solve, for all $n \geq 2$, two foundational questions…

Let $G$ be an algebraic group over a field $k$. We call $g\in G(k)$ {\bf real} if $g$ is conjugate to $g^{-1}$ in $G(k)$. In this paper we study reality for groups of type $G_2$ over fields of characteristic different from 2. Let $G$ be…

The investigation of primes in certain arithmetic sequences is one of the fundamental problems in number theory and especially, finding blocks of distinct primes has gained a lot of attention in recent years. In this context, we prove the…

This paper gives elements in the (skew) center of the generalized quantum group corresponding to its irreducible finite dimensional modules. Finally we give a conjecture stating that those must form a basis of the center.

We study quadratic forms over totally real number fields by using an associated ring of quaternions. We examine some properties of residue class rings of these quaternions and use geometry of numbers to prove that certain ideals of the ring…

Let $k \geq 2$ be an integer and $\mathbb F_q$ be a finite field with $q$ elements. We prove several results on the distribution in short intervals of polynomials in $\mathbb F_q[x]$ that are not divisible by the $k$th power of any…

Let G be a finite group and let k be a positive integer. We examine the relationship between structural properties of G and the number of elements of G that are not kth powers in G. In particular, we examine a bound on |G| given by Lucido…

We study endomorphisms of a free group of finite rank by means of their action on specific sets of elements. In particular, we prove that every endomorphism of the free group of rank 2 which preserves an automorphic orbit (i.e., acts ``like…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field with characteristic zero. In this paper, we define the notion of a $q'$-Heisenberg normal element of a $\mathbb{Z}$-graded $k$-algebra. This $q'$-Heisenberg normal element gives the structure of some…

We study totally positive definite quadratic forms over the ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$ of a totally real biquadratic field $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{m}, \sqrt{s})$. We restrict our attention to classical forms (i.e., those with all…
