Let $k$ be a $d$-local field of characteristic 0, and let $K$ be the function field of a nice curve over $k$. We give a defect to weak approximation for reductive groups over $K$ using arithmetic dualities.

Let $V$ be a left vector space over a division ring and let ${\mathcal P}(V)$ be the associated projective space. We describe all finite subsets $X\subset V$ such that every permutation on $X$ can be extended to a linear automorphism of $V$…

For $ 1\le k <n$, we prove that for functions $F,G$ on $ {\Bbb R}^{n}$, any $k$-dimensional affine subspace $H \subset {\Bbb R}^{n}$, and $p,q,r \ge 2$ with $\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}+\frac{1}{r}=1$, one has the estimate $$…

In recent decades, linear affine threefolds have enabled researchers to solve some of the challenging problems on affine spaces. Koras-Russell threefolds, especially the Russell Cubic over $\mathbb{C}$ and Asanuma threefolds over a field of…

Let K be a (commutative) field, and U and V be finite-dimensional vector spaces over K. Let S be a linear subspace of the space L(U,V) of all linear operators from U to V. A map F from S to V is called range-compatible when F(s) belongs to…

Lemma 1 from the paper [N.E. Gretsky, J.M. Ostroy, W.R. Zame, Subdifferentiability and the duality gap, Positivity 6: 261--274, 2002] asserts that the value function $v$ of an infinite dimensional linear programming problem in standard form…

Previous work of the second author and Wolf showed that given a set $A\subseteq \mathbb{F}_p^n$ of bounded $\textrm{VC}_2$-dimension, there is a high rank quadratic factor $\mathcal{B}$ of bounded complexity such that $A$ is approximately…

We propose a new approach to the Fourier restriction conjectures. It is based on a discretization of the Fourier extension operators in terms of quadratically modulated wave packets. Using this new point of view, and by combining natural…

We consider the linear vector space formed by the elements of the finite fields $\mathbb{F}_q$ with $q=p^r$ over $\mathbb{F}_p$. Let ${a_1,\ldots,a_r}$ be a basis of this space. Then the elements $x$ of $\mathbb{F}_q$ have a unique…

We show that for every nontrivial potential space $L^{1}_{K}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$, there exists an approach region for which the associated maximal function is of weak-type, but the boundedness for the completed region is false, which is in…

Over a field $k$, we study rational UFDs of finite transcendence degree $n$ over $k$. We classify such UFDs $B$ when $n=2$, $k$ is algebraically closed, and $B$ admits a positive $\mathbb{Z}$-grading, showing in particular that $B$ is…

A point $p\in\mathbb{P}^N$ of a projective space is $h$-identifiable, with respect to a variety $X\subset\mathbb{P}^N$, if it can be written as linear combination of $h$ elements of $X$ in a unique way. Identifiability is implied by…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. An element F from k(x_1,...,x_n) is called a closed rational function if the subfield k(F) is algebraically closed in the field k(x_1,...,x_n). We prove that a rational function…

Let $K$ be a number field, let $v$ be a finite place of $K$, let $f\in K[z]$ be a degree $d\geqslant2$ polynomial with $v|d$, and let $a\in K$. We show that if $f$ is postcritically bounded and has potential good reduction with respect to…

We prove an extension theorem (with non-tangential limits) for vector-valued Baire one functions. Moreover, at every point where the function is continuous (or bounded), the continuity (or boundedness) is preserved. More precisely: Let $H$…

Let $R$ be an associative algebra over a field $K$ generated by a vector subspace $V$. The polynomial $f(x_1,\ldots,x_n)$ of the free associative algebra $K\langle x_1,x_2,\ldots\rangle$ is a weak polynomial identity for the pair $(R,V)$ if…

In this paper we continue the study initiated by Gurariy and Quarta in 2004 on the existence of linear spaces formed, up to the null vector, by continuous functions that attain the maximum only at one point. Inserting a topological flavor…

We show that in finite-dimensional nonlinear approximations, the best $r$-term approximant of a function $f$ almost always exists over $\mathbb{C}$ but that the same is not true over $\mathbb{R}$, i.e., the infimum $\inf_{f_1,\dots,f_r \in…

We introduce descent methods to the study of strong approximation on algebraic varieties. We apply them to two classes of varieties defined by P(t)=N_{K/k}(z): firstly for quartic extensions of number fields K/k and quadratic polynomials…

A simple criterion for a functor to be finitary is presented: we call $F$ finitely bounded if for all objects $X$ every finitely generated subobject of $FX$ factorizes through the $F$-image of a finitely generated subobject of $X$. This is…
