Let $q$ be an algebraic Lie algebra and $q<m>$ a (generalised) Takiff algebra. Any finite order automorphism $\theta$ of $q$ induces an automorphisms of $q<m>$ of the same order, denoted $\Theta$. We study invariant-theoretic properties of…

We develop a probabilistic approach to the celebrated Jacobian conjecture, which states that any Keller map (i.e. any polynomial mapping $F\colon \mathbb{C}^n \to \mathbb{C}^n$ whose Jacobian determinant is a nonzero constant) has a…

Let GF(q)[x,y] be the polynomial algebra in two variables over the finite field GF(q) with q elements. We give an exact formula and the asymptotics for the number p(n) of automorphisms (f,g) of GF(q)[x,y] such that max{deg(f),deg(g)}=n. We…

Let $k$ be an arbitrary field of characteristic 0. We prove that the group of automorphisms of a free Poisson field $P(x,y)$ in two variables $x,y$ over $k$ is isomorphic to the Cremona group $\mathrm{Cr}_2(k)$. We also prove that the…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic different from $2$, $\bar{K}$ its algebraic closure. Let $n \ge 3$ be an odd integer. Let $f(x)$ and $h(x)$ be degree $n$ polynomials with coefficients in $K$ and without repeated roots. Let us consider…

Let $p$ be a prime number and $K$ a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. We state conjectures on the smooth representations of $\mathrm{GL}_n(K)$ that occur in spaces of mod $p$ automorphic forms (for compact unitary groups). In particular,…

We develop techniques for computing the AK invariant of a domain with arbitrary characteristic. We use these techniques to describe for any field $K$ the automorphism group of $K[X,Y,Z]/(X^n Y - Z^2 - h(X)Z)$, where $h(0) \ne 0$ and $n \geq…

{Let $K$ be a number field, and $A_1,A_2$ abelian varieties over $K$. Let $P$ (resp. $Q$) be a non-torsion point in $ A_1(K)$ (resp. $A_2(K)$) such that for almost all places $v$ of $K$, the order of $Q$ mod $v$ divides the order of $P$ mod…

We describe the automorphism group of the endomorphism semigroup $\End(K[x_1,...,x_n])$ of ring $K[x_1,...,x_n]$ of polynomials over an {\it arbitrary} field $K$. A similar result is obtained for automorphism group of the category of…

Let G be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 2. We consider analogues of the Jacobson-Morozov theorem in this setting. More precisely, we classify those nilpotent elements with a simple…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, F its algebraically closed extension, and G be the group of k-automorphisms of F endowed with a natural topology. One of the purposes of this paper is to show that any…

We compute the isomorphism class in $\mathfrak{KK}^{alg}$ of all noncommutative generalized Weyl algebras $A=\CC[h](\sigma, P)$, where $\sigma(h)=qh+h_0$ is an automorphism of $\CC[h]$, except when $q\neq 1$ is a root of unity. In…

We study an explicit $(2g-1)$-dimensional family of Jacobian varieties of dimension $\frac{d-1}2(g-1)$, arising from quotient curves of unramified cyclic coverings of prime degree $d$ of hyperelliptic curves of genus $g\ge 2$. By using a…

A non-zero constant Jacobian polynomial map $F=(P,Q):\mathbb{C}^2 \longrightarrow \mathbb{C}^2$ has a polynomial inverse if the component $P$ is a simple polynomial, i.e. if, when $P$ extended to a morphism $p:X\longrightarrow \mathbb{P}^1$…

This article is part of an ongoing investigation of the two-dimensional Jacobian conjecture. In the first paper of this series, we proved the generalized Magnus' formula. In this paper, inspired by cluster algebras, we introduce a sequence…

We prove a conjecture of Medvedev and Scanlon for endomorphisms of connected commutative linear algebraic groups $G$ defined over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{k}$ of characteristic $0$. That is, if $\Phi\colon G\longrightarrow G$…

We describe a general program for studying the dynamics of surjective endomorphisms of algebraic varieties that are amenable to techniques from the minimal model program. We obtain density results on the pre-periodic points of surjective…

The Jacobian conjecture over a field of characteristic zero is considered directly in view of the nonlinear partial differential equations it is associated with. Exploring the integrals of such partial differential equations, this work…
