We introduce in this article a new method to estimate the minimum distance of codes from algebraic surfaces. This lower bound is generic, i.e. can be applied to any surface, and turns out to be ``liftable'' under finite morphisms, paving…

It is fundamental in number theory to calculate lower bounds for height functions. Grizzard studied lower bounds for the Weil height in a relative setting. Vidaux and Videla introduced the Northcott number for a set…

For any prime $p$ and $\varepsilon>0$ we prove that for any sufficiently large positive odd integer $s$ at least $(c_p-\varepsilon) \sqrt{\frac{s}{\log s}}$ of the $p$-adic zeta values $\zeta_p(3),\zeta_p(5),\dots,\zeta_p(s)$ are…

For every algebraic number $\kappa$ on the unit circle which is not a root of unity we prove the existence of a strict sequence of algebraic numbers whose height tends to zero, such that the averages of the evaluation of $f_\kappa(z)=\log|z…

It is proved that every two-dimensional residual Galois representation of the absolute Galois group of an arbitrary number field lifts to a characteristic zero $p$-adic representation, if local lifting problems at places above $p$ are…

Using the theory of $(\phi,\Gamma)$-modules and the formalism of Selmer complexes we construct the p-adic height for p-adic representations with coefficients in an affinoid algebra over $Q_p$.

The classical Steinitz theorem states that if the origin belongs to the interior of the convex hull of a set $S \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, then there are at most $2d$ points of $S$ whose convex hull contains the origin in the interior.…

We give a self-contained proof of the fact that, for any prime number $p$, there exists a power series $$\Psi= \Psi_p(T) \in T + T^2\Z[[T]] $$ which trivializes the addition law of the formal group of Witt covectors is $p$-adically entire…

Let $p$ be a prime, and let $\mathbb{Z}_p$ denote the field of integers modulo $p$. The \emph{Nathanson height} of a point $v \in \mathbb{Z}_p^n$ is the sum of the least nonnegative integer representatives of its coordinates. The Nathanson…

Let $1<p<\infty$. We prove that there exists an $\varepsilon_p>0$ such that for each $f\in L^p(\mathbb{R})$, the centered Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator $M$ on $\mathbb{R}$ satisfies the lower bound $\|Mf\|_{L^p(\mathbb{R})}\ge…

We establish the first pointwise ergodic theorems along thin sets of prime numbers; a set with zero density with respect to the primes. For instance we will be able to achieve this with the Piatetski-Shapiro primes. Our methods will be…

The ring of Witt vectors $\mathbb{W} R$ over a base ring $R$ is an important tool in algebraic number theory and lies at the foundations of modern $p$-adic Hodge theory. $\mathbb{W} R$ has the interesting property that it constructs a ring…

Let $G$ be a $p$-group for some prime $p$. Let $n$ be the positive integer so that $|G:Z(G)| = p^n$. Suppose $A$ is a maximal abelian subgroup of $G$. Let $$p^l = {\rm max} \{|Z(C_G (g)):Z(G)| : g \in G \setminus Z(G)\},$$ $$p^b = {\rm max}…

Given an odd prime $p$, we provide formulas for the Hensel lifts of polynomial roots modulo $p$, and give an explicit factorization over the ring of formal power series with integer coefficients for certain reducible polynomials whose…

Consider averages along the prime integers $ \mathbb P $ given by \begin{equation*} \mathcal{A}_N f (x) = N ^{-1} \sum_{ p \in \mathbb P \;:\; p\leq N} (\log p) f (x-p). \end{equation*} These averages satisfy a uniform scale-free $ \ell…

We show that there is an absolute constant $c > 1/2$ such that the Mahler measure of the Fekete polynomials $f_p$ of the form $$f_p(z) := \sum_{k=1}^{p-1}{\left( \frac kp \right)z^k}\,,$$ (where the coefficients are the usual Legendre…

In his famous book ``Basic Number Theory", Weil proved several theorems about the existence of norm-orthogonal bases in finite-dimensional vector spaces and lattices over local fields. In this paper, we transform Weil's proofs into…

We prove that there exist positive constants $C$ and $c$ such that for any integer $d \ge 2$ the set of ${\mathbf x}\in [0,1)^d$ satisfying $$ cN^{1/2}\le \left|\sum^N_{n=1}\exp\left (2 \pi i \left (x_1n+\ldots+x_d n^d\right)\right)…

Let us fix a prime $p$. The Erd\H{o}s-Ginzburg-Ziv problem asks for the minimum integer $s$ such that any collection of $s$ points in the lattice $\mathbb{Z}^n$ contains $p$ points whose centroid is also a lattice point in $\mathbb{Z}^n$.…

Let $p_{\min}$ denote the minimum of a polynomial $p$ over a (general) compact semialgebraic set $S \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$. A standard way to approximate $p_{\min}$ is via hierarchies built from Positivstellens\"atze, which certify…
