We show that algebraic analogues of universal group covers, surjective group homomorphisms from a $\mathbb{Q}$-vector space to $F^{\times}$ with "standard kernel", are determined up to isomorphism of the algebraic structure by the…

We obtain several finiteness results for the unramified cohomology of function fields of algebraic varieties defined over fields of type (F'_m), a class that includes algebraically closed fields, finite fields, local fields, and some higher…

Let k be an algebraically closed field. Given an extension A : B of finite-dimensional k- algebras, we establish criteria ensuring that the representation-theoretic notion of polynomial growth is preserved under ascent and descent. These…

A complete first-order theory is equational if every definable set is a Boolean combination of instances of equations, that is, of formulae such that the family of finite intersections of instances has the descending chain condition.…

The present paper deals with permutations induced by tame automorphisms over finite fields. The first main result is a formula for determining the sign of the permutation induced by a given elementary automorphism over a finite field. The…

Building over recent results, we expand the basic theory of algebraic extensions to the realm of superfields -a field with multivalued sum and product-, showing that every superfield has a (unique up to isomorphism) strong algebraic…

Let G_1,...,G_q be algebraic varieties over a finite field k. We show that, if q >1, the finiteness of the tensor product of G_1, ...,G_q as Mackey functors. We apply this to prove the finiteness of a relative Chow group and an abelian…

We classify those finite fields $\mathbb{F}_q$, for $q$ a power of some fixed prime number, whose members are the sum of an $n$-potent element with $n>1$ and a 4-potent element. It is shown that there are precisely ten non-trivial pairs…

We define nodal finite dimensional algebras and describe their structure over an algebraically closed field. For a special class of such algebras (type A) we find a criterion of tameness.

The study of many problems in additive combinatorics, such as Szemer\'edi's theorem on arithmetic progressions, is made easier by first studying models for the problem in F_p^n for some fixed small prime p. We give a number of examples of…

For a finite field $\mathbb{F}$, it is a basic result of Galois theory that the fixed field $E$ of $\text{Aut}(\mathbb{F}(x)/\mathbb{F})$ is a proper extension of $\mathbb{F}$. In this expository paper we construct, for all finite fields,…

In this paper, with the help of trinomial coefficients we study some arithmetic properties of certain determiants involving reciprocals of binary quadratic forms over finite fields.

We prove a triangulation theorem for semi-algebraic sets over a p-adically closed field, quite similar to its real counterpart. We derive from it several applications like the existence of flexible retractions and splitting for…

Pseudo algebraically closed, pseudo real closed, and pseudo $p$-adically closed fields are examples of unstable fields that share many similarities, but have mostly been studied separately. In this text, we propose a unified framework for…

In constructive algebra one cannot in general decide the irreducibility of a polynomial over a field K. This poses some problems to showing the existence of the algebraic closure of K. We give a possible constructive interpretation of the…

Let $F$ be a global field. Let $G$ be a non trivial finite \'etale tame $F$-group scheme. We define height functions on the set of $G$-torsors over $F,$ which generalize the usual heights such as discriminant. As an analogue of the Malle…

The tangled closure of a collection of subsets of a topological space is the largest subset in which each member of the collection is dense. This operation models a logical `tangle modality' connective, of significance in finite model…

We construct a topology on a given algebraically closed field with a distinguished subfield which is also algebraically closed. This topology is finer than Zariski topology and it captures the sets definable in the pair of algebraically…

We analyse the fusion of representations of the triplet algebra, the maximally extended symmetry algebra of the Virasoro algebra at c=-2. It is shown that there exists a finite number of representations which are closed under fusion. These…

We establish Burgess-type bounds for short multiplicative character sums over finite fields $\mathbb{F}_{p^n}$ under a purely volumetric condition. We show that for a box $B \subset \mathbb{F}_{p^n}$, nontrivial cancellation occurs whenever…
