An odd perfect number $N$ is said to be given in Eulerian form if $N = {q^k}{n^2}$ where $q$ is prime with $q \equiv k \equiv 1 \pmod 4$ and $\gcd(q,n) = 1$. Similarly, an even perfect number $M$ is said to be given in Euclidean form if $M…
We consider point sets in the affine plane $\mathbb{F}_q^2$ where each Euclidean distance of two points is an element of $\mathbb{F}_q$. These sets are called integral point sets and were originally defined in $m$-dimensional Euclidean…
Let $R$ be a smooth affine domain of dimension $d\geq 2$ over an infinite perfect field $k$. We establish a morphism from the Euler class group $E^d(R)$ to $Um_{d+1}(R)/E_{d+1}(R)$, the group of elementary orbits of unimodular rows.
We develop a first-order theory of ordered transexponential fields in the language $\{+,\cdot,0,1,<,e,T\}$, where $e$ and $T$ stand for unary function symbols. While the archimedean models of this theory are readily described, the study of…
Let $K$ be a number field with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$. Let $\mathcal{N}_K$ be the set of positive integers $n$ such that there exist units $\varepsilon, \delta \in \mathcal{O}_K^\times$ satisfying $\varepsilon + \delta = n$. We…
Based on the intuitive notion of convexity, we formulate a universal property defining interval objects in a category with finite products. Interval objects are structures corresponding to closed intervals of the real line, but their…
A construction of the real number system based on almost homomorphisms of the integers Z was proposed by Schanuel, Arthan, and others. We combine such a construction with the ultrapower or limit ultrapower construction, to construct the…
Possible transcendental nature of Euler's constant $\gamma$ has been the focus of study for sometime now. One possible approach is to consider $\gamma$ not in isolation, but as an element of the infinite family of generalised Euler-Briggs…
We provide an explicit description of the primitive ideals of the enveloping algebra $\operatorname{U}(\frak{sl}(\infty))$ of the infinite-dimensional finitary Lie algebra $\frak{sl}(\infty)$ over an uncountable algebraically closed field…
In this expository article, the real numbers are defined as infinite decimals. After defining an ordering relation and the arithmetic operations, it is shown that the set of real numbers is a complete ordered field. It is further shown that…
The class of surreal numbers, denoted by $\textbf{No}$, initially proposed by Conway, is a universal ordered field in the sense that any ordered field can be embedded in it. They include in particular the real numbers and the ordinal…
Surreal numbers form the ultimate extension of the field of real numbers with infinitely large and small quantities and in particular with all ordinal numbers. Hyperseries can be regarded as the ultimate formal device for representing…
It is shown that any finitely generated subring of a global field has a universal first-order definition in its fraction field. This covers Koenigsmann's result for the ring of integers and its subsequent extensions to rings of integers in…
In this paper the author considers a particular type of polynomials with integer coefficients, consisting of a perfect power and two norm forms of abelian number fields with coprime discriminants. It is shown that such a polynomial…
Schanuel has pointed out that there are mathematically interesting categories whose relationship to the ring of integers is analogous to the relationship between the category of finite sets and the semi-ring of non-negative integers. Such…
Neutrices are additive subgroups of a nonstandard model of the real numbers. An external number is the algebraic sum of a nonstandard real number and a neutrix. Due to the stability by some shifts, external numbers may be seen as…
We introduce some generalizations of the Euler-Kronecker constant of a number field and study their arithmetic nature.
This paper deals with a new kind of generalized functions, called "ultrafunctions" which have been introduced recently and developed in some previous works. Their peculiarity is that they are based on a Non-Archimedean field namely on a…
E565 in the Enestrom index. Translated from the Latin original, "De plurimis quantitatibus transcendentibus quas nullo modo per formulas integrales exprimere licet" (1775). Euler does not prove any results in this paper. It seems to me like…
We study a transfinite iteration of the ordinal Hessenberg natural sum obtained by taking suprema at limit stages and show that such an iterated natural sum differs from the more usual transfinite ordinal sum only for a finite number of…
