We consider a linear runs and tumbles equation in dimension d $\ge$ 1 for which we establish the existence of a unique positive and normalized steady state as well as its asymptotic stability, improving similar results obtained by Calvez et…
For a triangle $\Delta$, let (P) denote the problem of the existence of points in the plane of $\Delta$, that are at rational distance to the 3 vertices of $\Delta$. Answer to (P) is known to be positive in the following situation: $\Delta$…
We study rationality properties of irreducible characters of finite groups. We show that the continuity of $2$-rationality is a phenomenon that can be detected in the principal $2$-block, thus refining a recent result of N. N. Hung. We also…
We provide a sufficient condition for a polynomial ring, not necessarily commutative, to have a first-order definition for the rational integers.
We classify all positive integers n and r such that (stably) non-rational complex r-fold quadric bundles over rational n-folds exist. We show in particular that for any n and r, a wide class of smooth r-fold quadric bundles over projective…
Let K be any field and G be a finite group. We will prove that, if K is any field, p an odd prime number, and G is a non-abelian group of exponent p with |G|=p^3 or p^4 satisfying [K(\zeta_p):K] <= 2, then K(G) is rational over K. We will…
For each {\it well approximable} irrational $\theta$, we provide an explicit rank-one construction of the $e^{2\pi i\theta}$-rotation $R_\theta$ on the circle $\Bbb T$. This solves "almost surely" a problem by del Junco. For {\it every}…
We provide new upper and lower bounds on the minimum possible ratio of the spectral and Frobenius norms of a (partially) symmetric tensor. In the particular case of general tensors our result recovers a known upper bound. For symmetric…
We prove that the moduli space of tetragonal curves of genus g>6 is rational when g is congruent to 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 10 modulo 12 and not equal to 9, 45.
We prove that existence of a k-rational point can be detected by the stable A^1-homotopy category of S^1-spectra, or even a "rationalized" variant of this category.
We define a class of rational numbers including, as a particular case, the classical harmonic numbers. For one particular instance we apply it to the expansion into powers series of a special function, and also detail its relashionship with…
We announce a number of conjectures associated with and arising from a study of primes and irrationals in $\mathbb{R}$. All are supported by numerical verification to the extent possible.
Let k be a field of characteristic zero. We show that the norm variety associated to a prime $\ell$ and an ordered sequence of invertible elements of k is geometrically retract rational. This generalizes a recent result of…
It is proved that if $I$ and $J$ are weakly stable ideals in a polynomial ring $R=k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$, with $k$ a field, then the regularity of $\text{Tor}^R_i(R/I,R/J)$ has the expected upper bound. We also give a bound for the regularity…
Let $\gamma$ be an algebraic number of degree $2$ and not a root of unity. In this note we show that there exists a prime ideal $\mathfrak{p}$ of $\mathbb{Q}(\gamma)$ satisfying $\nu_\mathfrak{p}(\gamma^n-1)\ge 1$, such that the rational…
It is a classical fact that the irrationality of a number $\xi\in\mathbb R$ follows from the existence of a sequence $p_n/q_n$ with integral $p_n$ and $q_n$ such that $q_n\xi-p_n\ne0$ for all $n$ and $q_n\xi-p_n\to0$ as $n\to\infty$. In…
In this paper, we consider the relation between $p > 1$ and critical dimension of the extremal solution of the semilinear equation $$\{\begin{array}{lllllll} \beta \Delta^{2}u-\tau \Delta u=\frac{\lambda}{(1-u)^{p}} & in\ \ B, 0<u\leq 1 &…
We develop several aspects of local and global stability in continuous first order logic. In particular, we study type-definable groups and genericity.
Consider the first-order linear differential equation with several retarded arguments $$ x^{\prime}(t)+\sum\limits_{i=1}^{m}p_{i}(t)x(\tau_{i}(t))=0,\;\;\;t\geq t_{0}, $$ where the functions $p_{i},\tau_{i}\in…
For K a cyclic cubic number field with odd class number containing a unit w such that Norm(w)=Norm(1-w)=-1, we prove that the density of rational primes p that satisfy the given spin relation is equal to 1/2. Furthermore, we prove that this…
