The Hasse Weil bound restricts the number of points of a curve which are defined over a finite field; if the number of points meets this bound, the curve is called maximal. Giulietti and Korchmaros introduced a curve C_3 which is maximal…

To what extent does the maximal subfield spectrum of a division algebra determine the isomorphism class of that algebra? It has been shown that over some fields a quaternion division algebra's isomorphism class is largely if not entirely…

We consider a real scalar field and a Majorana fermion field to construct a supersymmetric quantum theory of free fermion fields based on the deformed Heisenberg algebra $[x,p]=i\hbar\big(1-\beta p+2\beta^{2}p^{2}\big)$, where $\beta $ is a…

Bounds on the log partition function are important in a variety of contexts, including approximate inference, model fitting, decision theory, and large deviations analysis. We introduce a new class of upper bounds on the log partition…

Let $D$ be a division ring with center $F$, $f(x_1,x_2,\dots, x_m)$ a non-central multilinear polynomial over $F$, and $w(x_1,x_2,\dots,x_m)$ a non-trivial word. In this paper, we investigate conditions under which there exists an element…

We study arithmetical and geometrical properties of {\it maximal curves}, that is, curves defined over the finite field $\mathbb F_{q^2}$ whose number of $\mathbb F_{q^2}$-rational points reachs the Hasse-Weil upper bound. Under a…

The Hasse-Weil-Serre bound is improved for curves of low genera over finite fields with discriminant in {-3,-4,-7,-8,-11,-19} by studying optimal curves.

We investigate the finite subgroups that occur in the Hamiltonian quaternion algebra over the real subfield of cyclotomic fields. When possible, we investigate their distribution among the maximal orders.

Higher genus partition functions of two-dimensional conformal field theories have to be invariants under linear actions of mapping class groups. We illustrate recent results [4,6] on the construction of such invariants by concrete…

In this paper we study maximal subrings up to isomorphism of fields. It is shown that each field with zero characteristic has infinitely many maximal subrings up to isomorphism. If $K$ is an algebraically closed field and $x$ is an…

In this article we study automorphisms of Toeplitz subshifts. Such groups are abelian and any finitely generated torsion subgroup is finite and cyclic. When the complexity is non superlinear, we prove that the automorphism group is, modulo…

For a wide family of formations $\mathfrak{F}$ (which includes Baer-local formations) it is proved that the $ \mathfrak{F}$-hypercenter of a permutation finite group can be computed in polynomial time. In particular, the algorithms for…

This paper presents an algorithm for generating all imaginary and unusual discriminants up to a fixed degree bound that define a quadratic function field of positive 3-rank. Our method makes use of function field adaptations of a method due…

In a previous article the authors determined the best-known upper bound for the cardinality of the image set for several classes of functions, including planar functions. Here, we show that the upper bound cannot be tight for planar…

Let $F$ be a finitely generated free group. By using Bestvina-Handel theory, as well as some further improvements, the eigengroups of a given automorphism of $F$ (and its fixed subgroup among them) are globally analyzed and described. In…

We determine all isomorphism classes of hyperfields of a given finite order which can be obtained as quotients of finite fields of sufficiently large order. Using this result, we determine which hyperfields of order at most 4 are quotients…

Let $A$ be a simple algebra over a field $F$. Under a mild cardinality assumption on $F$, we determine the greatest possible dimension for an $F$-affine subspace of $A$ that is included in the group of units $A^\times$, and we describe the…

An involution over finite fields is a permutation polynomial whose inverse is itself. Owing to this property, involutions over finite fields have been widely used in applications such as cryptography and coding theory. As far as we know,…

Given a holomorphic or anti-holomorphic involution on a complex variety, the Smith inequality says that the total $\mathbb{F}_2$-Betti number of the fixed locus is no greater than the total $\mathbb{F}_2$-Betti number of the ambient…

We study global symmetry groups of six-dimensional superconformal field theories (SCFTs). In the Coulomb branch we use field theoretical arguments to predict an upper bound for the global symmetry of the SCFT. We then analyze global…
