When a quantum field theory in $d$-spacetime dimensions possesses a global $(d-1)$-form symmetry, it can decompose into disjoint unions of other theories. This is reflected in the physical quantities of the theory and can be used to study…

We survey recent work done on the values at integer points of irrational inhomogeneous quadratic forms, namely, inhomogeneous analogues of the famous Oppenheim conjecture. We also prove that the set of such forms in two variables whose set…

Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field and let $\mathcal{O}_K$ be its ring of integers. For an integral ideal $\mathfrak{n}$ of $\mathcal{O}_K$, let $\Gamma_0({\mathfrak{n}})$ be the congruence subgroup of level ${\mathfrak{n}}$ consisting…

The decomposition of an arbitrary axiomatic topological quantum field theory or TQFT into indecomposable theories is given. In particular, unitary TQFT's in arbitrary dimensions are shown to decompose into a sum of theories in which the…

We investigate Diophantine definability and decidability over some subrings of algebraic numbers contained in quadratic extensions of totally real algebraic extensions of $\mathbb Q$. Among other results we prove the following. The big…

We analyze the problem of determining Waring decompositions of the powers of any quadratic form over the field of complex numbers. Our main goal is to provide information about their rank and also to obtain decompositions whose size is as…

We consider the question of determining whether two binary cubic forms over an arbitrary field $K$ whose characteristic is not $2$ or $3$ are equivalent under the actions of either GL$(2,K)$ or SL$(2,K)$, deriving two necessary and…

Let $K$ be a totally real number field of degree $n$ over $\mathbb{Q}$, with discriminant and regulator $\Delta_K, R_K$ respectively. In this paper, using a similar method to van Woerden, we prove that the number of classes of perfect unary…

We show that noncommutative differential forms on $k[x]$, $k$ a field, are of the form $\Omega^1=k_\lambda[x]$ where $k_\lambda\supset k$ is a field extension. We compute the case $C\supset R$ explicitly, where $\Omega^1$ is 2-dimensional.…

Universal Deformation Formulas (UDFs) for the deformation of associative algebras play a key role in deformation quantization. Here we present examples for certain classes of infinitesimals. A basic representable 2-cocycle $F$ of an…

A set X of partial words over a finite alphabet A is called unavoidable if every two-sided infinite word over A has a factor compatible with an element of X. Unlike the case of a set of words without holes, the problem of deciding whether…

We study separable plus quadratic (SPQ) polynomials, i.e., polynomials that are the sum of univariate polynomials in different variables and a quadratic polynomial. Motivated by the fact that nonnegative separable and nonnegative quadratic…

Let $K$ be a number field, ${\mathcal O}_K$ its ring of integers, and $f(x, y) \in {\mathcal O}_K[x, y]$ a binary form with integer coefficents. For any given prime $p \in {\mathcal O}_K$ we determine explicitly a binary form $g$ (resp.…

In what follows, we pose two general conjectures about decompositions of homogeneous polynomials as sums of powers. The first one (suggested by G. Ottaviani) deals with the generic k-rank of complex-valued forms of any degree divisible by k…

Let K = Q(\omega) with \omega^3 = m be a pure cubic number field. We show that the elements\alpha \in K^\times whose squares have the form a - \omega form a group isomorphic to the group of rational points on the elliptic curve E_m: y^2=…
