Fix non-zero reals $\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_n$ with $n\ge 2$ and let $K$ be a non-empty open connected set in a topological vector space such that $\sum_{i\le n}\alpha_iK\subseteq K$ (which holds, in particular, if $K$ is an open convex cone…

A characterization of the general linear equation in standard form admitting a maximal symmetry algebra is obtained in terms of a simple set of conditions relating the coefficients of the equation. As a consequence, it is shown that in its…

The four types of homogeneity -- additive, multiplicative, exponential, and logarithmic -- are generalized as transformations describing how a function $f$ changes under scaling or shifting of its arguments. These generalized homogeneity…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic $0$, and let $k \geq 2$ be an integer. We prove that every $K$-linear bijection $f \colon K[X] \to K[X]$ strongly preserving the set of $k$-free polynomials (or the set of polynomials with a $k$-fold…

In this paper, we study sums of translates on the real axis. These functions generalize logarithms of weighted algebraic polynomials. Namely, we are dealing with the following functions \[ F(\mathbf{y},t) := J(t) + \sum \limits_{j=1}^n…

In this article, I introduce a group-theoretical method to prove positivity of certain linear combinations (with coefficients generally lying in $\mathbb{C}$) of exponential functions under a set of semidefinite linear constraints. The…

The purpose of the paper is to provide a characterization of the error of the best polynomial approximation of composite functions in weighted spaces. Such a characterization is essential for the convergence analysis of numerical methods…

We prove a characterization theorem for the test functions in a CKS-space. Some crucial ideas concerning the growth condition are given.

A fundamental problem in the theory of linearized and projective polynomials over finite fields is to characterize the number of roots in the coefficient field directly from the coefficients. We prove results of this type, of a recursive…

Semilinear maps are a generalization of linear maps between vector spaces where we allow the scalar action to be twisted by a ring homomorphism such as complex conjugation. In particular, this generalization unifies the concepts of linear…

Let $L$ be a (non necessarily unital) truncated vector lattice of real-valued functions on a nonempty set $X$. A nonzero linear functional $\psi$ on $L$ is called a truncation homomorphism if it preserves truncation, i.e.,% \[ \psi\left(…

Combinatorial categories satisfy a stronger form of Yoneda Lemma, namely, the isomorphism type of an object can be recovered by counting the number of homomorphisms from all other objects into it. In this work, we show that this property…

For a polynomial map $\mathbf{f} : k^n \to k^m$ ($k$ a field), we investigate those polynomials $g \in k[t_1,\ldots, t_n]$ that can be written as a composition $g = h \circ \mathbf{f}$, where $h: k^m \to k$ is an arbitrary function. In the…

Let $K=k(C)$ be the function field of a complete nonsingular curve $C$ over an arbitrary field $k$. The main result of this paper states that a morphism $\phi:{\mathbb P}^N_K\to{\mathbb P}^N_K$ is isotrivial if and only if it has potential…

Let $k$ be a perfect field of characteristic $p$, let $f_i:X_i\to\mathbb A_k^1$ $(i=1,2)$ be two $k$-morphism of finite type, and let $f:X_1\times_k X_2\to \mathbb A_k^1$ be the morphism defined by $f(z_1,z_2)=f_1(z_1)+f_2(z_2)$. For each…

Motivated by Emmanuel Kowalski's exponential sums over definable sets in finite fields, we generalize Ax's theorem on pseudo-finite fields to a continuous-logic setting allowing for an additive character. The role played by Weil's Riemann…

In this paper, we develop a general framework of geometric functorial field theories, meaning that all bordisms in question are endowed with geometric structures. We take particular care to establish a notion of smooth variation of such…
