Klein foams are analogues of Riemann and Klein surfaces with one-dimensional singularities. We prove that the field of dianalytic functions on a Klein foam $\Omega$ coincides with the field of dianalytic functions on a Klein surface…

Exceptional Belyi covering is a connected Belyi covering uniquely determined by its ramification scheme or the respective dessin d'enfant. We focus on rational exceptional Belyi coverings of compact Riemann surfaces of genus 0. Well known…

Over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, there exist rational functions with only one critical point. We give an elementary characterization of these functions in terms of their continued fraction expansions. Then we…

We prove that if $C$ is a reflexive smooth plane curve of degree $d$ defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with $d\leq q+1$, then there is an $\mathbb{F}_q$-line $L$ that intersects $C$ transversely. We also prove the same result for…

We construct Belyi maps having specified behavior at finitely many points. Specifically, for any curve C defined over Q-bar, and any disjoint finite subsets S, T in C(Q-bar), we construct a finite morphism f: C -> P^1 such that f ramifies…

Let $F$ be a locally compact non-Archimedean field, and $\bf G$ a connected quasi-split reductive group over $F$. We are interested in complex irreducible smooth generic representations $\pi$ of ${\bf G}(F)$. When $F$ has positive…

For a locally compact group $G$, the first-named author considered the closed subspace $a_0(G)$ which is generated by the pure positive definite functions. In many cases $a_0(G)$ is itself an algebra. We illustrate using Heisenburg groups…

It is known that the nonnegativity of Li coefficients is a necessary and sufficient condition for the Riemann hypothesis. We show that it is a necessary and sufficient condition for the Riemann hypothesis that all Li coefficients are norms…

We introduce dessins d'enfants from the various existing points of view: As topological covering spaces, as surfaces with triangulations, and as algebraic curves with functions ramified over three points. We prove Belyi's theorem that such…

In this paper, following Grothendieck {\it Esquisse d'un programme}, which was motivated by Belyi's work, we study some properties of surfaces $X$ which are triangulated by (possibly ideal) isometric equilateral triangles of one of the…

We show rigidity results for the operator equations T(f.g) = Tf.Tg, T(f*g) = Tf.Tg and T(f.g) = Tf*Tg for bijective operators T acting on sufficently large spaces of smooth functions. Typically a condition like |T(f.g) - Tf.Tg| < a for all…

Let $Y$ be a smooth quasi-projective complex variety equipped with a simple normal crossings compactification. We show that integral points are potentially dense in the (relative) character varieties parametrizing $SL_2$-local systems on…

For $q$ a prime power and $\phi$ a rational function with coefficients in $\mathbb{F}_q$, let $p(q,\phi)$ be the proportion of $\mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{F}_q)$ that is periodic with respect to $\phi$. And if $d$ is a positive integer, let $Q_d$…

We show that every open Riemann surface can be obtained by glueing together a countable collection of equilateral triangles, in such a way that every vertex belongs to finitely many triangles. Equivalently, it is a _Belyi surface_: There…

We prove two-sided inequalities between the integral moduli of smoothness of a function on $\mathbb{R}^d/\mathbb{T}^d$ and the weighted tail-type integrals of its Fourier transform/series. Sharpness of obtained results in particular is…
