For any natural number $k$, consider the $k$-linear Hilbert transform $$ H_k( f_1,\dots,f_k )(x) := \operatorname{p.v.} \int_{\bf R} f_1(x+t) \dots f_k(x+kt)\ \frac{dt}{t}$$ for test functions $f_1,\dots,f_k: {\bf R} \to {\bf C}$. It is…

We formalize Hilbert's Seventh Problem and its solution, the Gelfond-Schneider theorem, in the Lean 4 proof assistant. The theorem states that if $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are algebraic numbers with $\alpha \neq 0,1$ and $\beta$ irrational, then…

We consider a family of self-adjoint Ornstein--Uhlenbeck operators $L_{\alpha} $ in an infinite dimensional Hilbert space H having the same gaussian invariant measure $\mu$ for all $\alpha \in [0,1]$. We study the Dirichlet problem for the…

This note is purely expository. In the course of the Kolmogorov-Arnold solution of Hilbert's 13th problem on superpositions there appeared the notion of basic embedding. A subset K of R^2 is basic if for each continuous function f:K->R…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $k$ be a field. Let $G$ act on the rational function field $k(x_g:g\in G)$ by $k$-automorphisms defined by $g\cdot x_h=x_{gh}$ for any $g,h\in G$. Noether's problem asks whether the fixed field $k(G)=k(x_g:g\in…

In this survey article we revisit Hilbert's $19^{\text{th}}$ problem concerning the regularity of minimizers of variational integrals. We first discuss the classical theory (that is, the statement and resolution of Hilbert's problem in all…

Let K be a field with a valuation satisfying the following conditions: both K and the residue field k have characteristic zero; the value group is not 2-divisible; there exists a maximal subfield F in the valuation ring such that…

In this paper, we investigate the behavior of almost reverse lexicographic ideals with the Hilbert function of a complete intersection. More precisely, over a field $K$, we give a new constructive proof of the existence of the almost revlex…

By a theorem of R. Stanley, a graded Cohen-Macaulay domain $A$ is Gorenstein if and only if its Hilbert series satisfies the functional equation \[ \operatorname{Hilb}_A(t^{-1})=(-1)^d t^{-a}\operatorname{Hilb}_A(t), \] where $d$ is the…

We prove that the existential theory of any function field $K$ of characteristic $p> 0$ is undecidable in the language of rings provided that the constant field does not contain the algebraic closure of a finite field. We also extend the…

Let $k$ be a field, $G$ be a finite group and $k(x_g:g\in G)$ be the rational function field over $k$, on which $G$ acts by $k$-automorphisms defined by $h\cdot x_g=x_{hg}$ for any $g,h\in G$. Noether's problem asks whether the fixed…

This note is purely expository. We show how in the course of the Kolmogorov-Arnold solution of Hilbert's 13-th problem on superpositions there appeared the notion of a basic embedding. A subset K of R^2 is {\it basic} if for each continuous…

This paper explores the use of "generated sets" $\{ \{ k \boldsymbol{\zeta} \} : k = 1, \ldots, n \}$ for function approximation in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces which consist of multi-dimensional functions with an absolutely convergent…

We generalize [3, Lemma 2.2] and [4, Proposition 2.3] and deduce a positive result on Hilbert's fourteenth problem. Further, we give a relatively transparent and elementary proof of [3, Theorem 1.1].

We construct a set of positive integers A in {1,..., n} with |A|>> n^{2/3} that does not contain Hilbert cubes of dimension 3. As a consequence we prove that ex(n; K^(3)(2,2,2))>> n^{8/3} where K^(3)(2,2,2) is the simplest complete…

For a complex number $x$, $\Vert x\Vert:=\min\{|x-m|:m\in\mathbb{Z}\}$. Let $k\geq 1$ be an integer, and $K$ be a number field. Let $\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_k$ be algebraic numbers with $|\alpha_i|\geq 1$ and let $d_i$ denotes the degree of…

We establish upper bounds for the smallest height of a generator of a number field $k$ over the rational field $\Q$. Our first bound applies to all number fields $k$ having at least one real embedding. We also give a second conditional…

We prove minimax theorems for lower semicontinuous functions defined on a Hilbert space. The main tool is the theory of $\Phi$-convex functions and sufficient and necessary conditions for the minimax equality to hold for $\Phi$-convex…

What can be said about the subalgebras of the polynomial ring, with minimal or maximal Hilbert function? This question was discussed in a recent paper by M. Boij and A. Conca. In this paper we study the subalgebras generated in degree two…

Let K be the function field of a variety of dimension at least 2 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Then Hilbert's Tenth Problem for K is undecidable. This generalizes the result by Kim and Roush from 1992 that…
