The statement of the Riemann hypothesis makes sense for all global fields, not just the rational numbers. For function fields, it has a natural restatement in terms of the associated curve. Weil's work on the Riemann hypothesis for curves…

An equivariant version of the twisted inverse pseudofunctor is defined, and equivariant versions of some important properties, including the Grothendieck duality of proper morphisms and flat base change are proved. As an application, a…

The basic character theory of finite monoids over the complex numbers was developed in the sixties and seventies based on work of Munn, Ponizovsky, McAlister, Rhodes and Zalcstein. In particular, McAlister determined the space of functions…

Vogt's theorem, concerning boundary angles of a convex arc with monotonic curvature (spiral arc), is taken as a starting point to establish basic properties of spirals. The theorem is expanded by removing requirements of convexity and…

Functions satisfying the functional equation \begin{align*} \sum_{r=0}^{n-1} (-1)^r f(x+ry, ny) = f(x,y), \quad \text{for any positive odd integer $n$}, \end{align*} are named the alternating invariant functions. Examples of such functions…

We show the density of rational points on non-isotrivial elliptic surfaces by studying the variation of the root numbers among the fibers of these surfaces, conditionally to two analytic number theory conjectures (the squarefree conjecture…

We prove that the Weil representation over a non-archimedean local field can be realised with coefficients in a number field. We give an explicit descent argument to describe precisely which number field the Weil representation descends to.…

We propose a formulation of the Equivariant Tamagawa Number Conjecture for modular motives with coefficients in universal deformation rings and Hecke algebras; something which seems to have been heretofore missing because the complexes of…

First and second fundamental theorems are given for polynomial invariants of a class of pseudo-reflection groups (including the Weyl groups of type $B_n$), under the assumption that the order of the group is invertible in the base field.…

The notion of a Weyl module, previously defined for the untwisted affine algebras, is extended here to the twisted affine algebras. We describe an identification of the Weyl modules for the twisted affine algebras with suitably chosen Weyl…

The goal of the present paper is to provide a mathematically rigorous foundation to certain aspects of rational orbifold conformal field theory, in other words the theory of rational vertex operator algebras and their automorphisms. Under a…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a reductive Lie algebra. We give a condition that ensures that the character of a generalized Verma module is well-behaved under a twisting functor. We show that a similar result holds for basic classical simple Lie…

Let $\ell$ be an odd prime, $N \geq 1$ be an integer, and $\delta \geq 1$ be a $\ell^N$-th power free integer such that ${\rm ord}_{\ell}(\delta) = 0$ or $\ell \nmid {\rm ord}_{\ell}(\delta)$. In this paper, we give an explicit formula for…

The main goal of this paper is to give a completely elementary proof for the decomposition theorem of Wright convex functions which was discovered by C.\ T.\ Ng in 1987. In the proof, we do not use transfinite tools, i.e., variants of…

Our paper introduces a novel method for calculating the inverse $\mathcal{Z}$-transform of rational functions. Unlike some existing approaches that rely on partial fraction expansion and involve dividing by $z$, our method allows for the…

Let V be a symplectic vector space over a finite or local field. We compute the character of the Weil representation of the metaplectic group Mp(V). The final formulas are overtly free of choices (e.g. they do not involve the usual choice…

We show that there exists a connection between two types of objects: some kind of resultantal varieties over C, from one side, and varieties of twists of the tensor powers of the Carlitz module such that the order of 0 of its L-functions at…

Conrey, Farmer and Zirnbauer introduced a recipe to find asymptotic formulas for the sum of ratios of products of shifted L-functions. These ratios conjectures are very powerful and can be used to determine many statistics of L-functions,…

Using general principles in the theory of vertex operator algebras and their twisted modules, we obtain a bosonic, twisted construction of a certain central extension of a Lie algebra of differential operators on the circle, for an…

We construct nontrivial roots of Dehn twists about nonseparating curves.
