Via counting over finite fields, we derive explicit formulas for the E-polynomials and Euler characteristics of GL(d)- and PGL(d)-character varieties of free groups. We prove a positivity property for these polynomials and relate them to…
We work with detail the Drinfeld module over the ring $$A=F_2[x,y]/(y^2+y=x^3+x+1).$$ The example in question is one of the four examples that come from quadratic imaginary fields with class number $h = 1$ and rank one. We develop specific…
We obtain nontrivial exponents for Erd\H os-Falconer type problems. Let $T_k(E)$ denote the set of distinct congruent $k$-dimensional simplexes determined by $(k+1)$-tuples of points from $E$. We prove that there exists $s_0(d)<d$ such…
We study the elliptic curve E given by y^2=x(x+1)(x+t) over the rational function field k(t) and its extensions K_d=k(\mu_d,t^{1/d}). When k is finite of characteristic p and d=p^f+1, we write down explicit points on E and show by…
Let D be a division ring such that the number of conjugacy classes in the multiplicative group D^* is equal to the power of D^*. Suppose that H(V) is the group GL(V) or PGL(V), where V is an infinite-dimensional vector space over D. We…
We study properties of a map from a certain unitary group in $n$ variables to a related unitary group in $\binom{n}{k}$ variables. We explain how it gives rise to a map between canonical models of Shimura varieties and we prove that it…
The Euler characteristic of a finite category is defined and shown to be compatible with Euler characteristics of other types of object, including orbifolds. A formula for the cardinality of the colimit of a diagram of sets is proved,…
Let $K$ be a totally real number field of degree $n$ over $\mathbb{Q}$, with discriminant and regulator $\Delta_K, R_K$ respectively. In this paper, using a similar method to van Woerden, we prove that the number of classes of perfect unary…
Smooth and proper dg-algebras have an Euler class valued in the Hochschild homology of the algebra. This Euler class is worthy of this name since it satisfies many familiar properties including compatibility with the familiar pairing on the…
Bhatwadekar and Raja Sridharan have constructed a homomorphism of abelian groups from an orbit set Um(n,A)/E(n,A) of unimodular rows to an Euler class group. We suggest that this is the last map in a longer exact sequence of abelian groups.…
We carry out the complete group classification of the class of (1+1)-dimensional linear Schr\"odinger equations with complex-valued potentials. After introducing the notion of uniformly semi-normalized classes of differential equations, we…
If E is a non-isotrivial elliptic curve over a global function field F of odd characteristic we show that certain Mordell-Weil groups of E have 1-dimensional eigenspace relative to a fixed complex ring class character provided that the…
We show that for a reductive group $G$ over a field $k$ the $\mathbb{A}^1$-Euler characteristic of the variety of maximal tori in $G$ is an invertible element of the Grothendieck-Witt ring $\mathrm{GW}(k)$, settling the weak form of a…
We discuss two simple but useful observations that allow the construction of modular forms from given ones using invariant theory. The first one deals with elliptic modular forms and their derivatives, and generalizes the Rankin-Cohen…
Let $R$ denote the purely infinite simple unital Leavitt path algebra $L(E)$. We completely determine the pairs of positive integers $(c,d)$ for which there is an isomorphism of matrix rings $M_c(R)\cong M_d(R)$, in terms of the order of…
We study proper rational maps from the unit disk to balls in higher dimensions. After gathering some known results, we study the moduli space of unitary equivalence classes of polynomial proper maps from the disk to a ball, and we establish…
We establish a transfer of unitarity for a Bernstein component of the category of smooth representations of a reductive p-adic group to the associated Hecke algebra, in the framework of the theory of types, whenever the Hecke algebra is an…
We present a novel approach for deriving KAM-type linearization theorems directly -- and almost immediately -- from the existence of the stable foliation for a renormalization operator. We give a few illustrations in dynamics in one and…
The notion of the orbifold Euler characteristic came from physics at the end of 80's. There were defined higher order versions of the orbifold Euler characteristic and generalized ("motivic") versions of them. In a previous paper the…
We give examples of (i) a simple theory with a formula (with parameters) which does not fork over the empty set but has mu measure 0 for every automorphism invariant Keisler measure mu, and (ii) a definable group G in a simple theory such…
