The module category of any artin algebra is filtered by the powers of its radical, thus defining an associated graded category. As an extension of the degree of irreducible morphisms, this text introduces the degree of morphisms in the…

Symmetric $k$-varieties generalize Riemannian sym\-me\-tric spaces to reductive groups defined over arbitrary fields. For most perfect fields, it is known that symmetric $k$-varieties are in one-to-one correspondence with isomorphy classes…

In this note, we study the field generated by the traces of subgroups of SU(n,1). Under some hypotheses, the trace field of a group $\Gamma \subset$ SU(2,1) is equal to the field generated by the coefficients of the matrices in $\Gamma$. If…

Let $K$ be a number field of degree at least $3$. In this article we show that the genus of the integral trace form of $K$ contains only one spinor genus. Additionally we show that exactly $43%$ (resp. $29%$, resp. $58%$) of quadratic…

We study the motivic Serre invariant of a smoothly bounded algebraic or rigid variety $X$ over a complete discretely valued field $K$ with perfect residue field $k$. If $K$ has characteristic zero, we extend the definition to arbitrary…

We study the differential geometric properties of the manifold of non-singular symmetric real matrices endowed with the trace metric; in case of positive definite matrices we describe the full group of isometries

A number field $k$ admits a binary integral quadratic form which represents all integers locally but not globally if and only if the class number of $k$ is bigger than one. In this case, there are only finitely many classes of such binary…

Several researchers have recently established that for every Turing degree $\boldsymbol{c}$, the real closed field of all $\boldsymbol{c}$-computable real numbers has spectrum $\{\boldsymbol{d}~:~\boldsymbol{d}'\geq\boldsymbol{c}"\}$. We…

Theories of classification distinguish classes with some good structure theorem from those for which none is possible. Some classes (dense linear orders, for instance) are non-classifiable in general, but are classifiable when we consider…

We construct certain $\theta$-series associated to number fields and prove that for number fields of degree less than equal to 4, these $\theta$-series are number field invariants. We also investigate whether or not the collection of…

The notion of degree begins in field theory as the dimension of a field extension. In algebraic geometry, this idea reappears as the degree of a finite morphism, defined using the induced extension of function fields. For proper morphisms…

For every odd integer $n \geq 3$, we prove that there exist infinitely many number fields of degree $n$ and associated Galois group $S_n$ whose class number is odd. To do so, we study the class groups of families of number fields of degree…

The first and last named authors have demonstrated the existence of knots for which every integral slope is non-characterizing. In this short note, we extend this result in two ways. There exists a knot that shares for every integer n the…

The paper establishes the Krein and Koplienko trace formulas for multivariable operator functions on symmetrically normed ideals of bounded operators. Results are proved for self-adjoint and maximal dissipative operators. They cover both…

In this paper we study stable finiteness of ample groupoid algebras with applications to inverse semigroup algebras and Leavitt path algebras, recovering old results and proving some new ones. In addition, we develop a theory of (faithful)…

For a field $R$ of characteristic $p\ge 0$ and a matrix $c$ in the full $n\times n$ matrix algebra $M_n(R)$ over $R$, let $S_n(c,R)$ be the centralizer algebra of $c$ in $M_n(R)$. We show that $S_n(c,R)$ is a Frobenius-finite,…

In this paper, we present a concise development of the well-studied theory of trace class operators on infinite dimensional (separable) Hilbert spaces suitable for an advanced undergraduate, as well as a construction of the inverse…

We show that any finite set S in a characteristic zero integral domain can be mapped to the finite field of order p, for infinitely many primes p, preserving all algebraic incidences in S. This can be seen as a generalization of the…

For all positive even integers $n$, graphs of order $n$ with degree sequence \begin{equation*} S_{n}:1,2,\dots,n/2,n/2,n/2+1,n/2+2,\dots,n-1 \end{equation*} naturally arose in the study of a labeling problem in \cite{IMO}. This fact…

Suppose E/F is a field extension. We ask whether or not there exists an element of E whose characteristic polynomial has one or more zero coefficients in specified positions. We show that the answer is frequently ``no''. We also prove…
