Let $G$ be a finite group of order divisible by a prime $p$. The number of $p$-regular and $p'$-regular conjugacy classes of $G$ is at least $2\sqrt{p-1}$. Also, the number of $p$-rational and $p'$-rational irreducible characters of $G$ is…

In this paper we give a generalization of the main results in \cite{ab,ab1} about $b$-ary expansions of algebraic numbers. As a byproduct we get a large class of new transcendence criteria. One of our corollaries implies that $b$-ary…

The Akbari-Cameron-Khosrovshahi (ACK) conjecture, which appears to be unresolved, states that for any simple graph $G$ with at least one edge, there exists a nonzero {$\{0,1\}$}-vector in the row space of its adjacency matrix that is not a…

Let $F$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$. We fashion an infinite dimensional basic algebra $\underleftarrow{\mathcal{C}}_p(F)$, with a transparent combinatorial structure, which we expect to control the rational…

Let k be a p-adic field. Some time ago, D. Harbater [9] proved that any finite group G may be realized as a regular Galois group over the rational function field in one variable k(t), namely there exists a finite field extension $F/k(t)$,…

We develop a detailed arithmetic theory related to special values at arbitrary integers of the Artin $L$-series of linear characters. To do so we define canonical generalized Stark elements of arbitrary `rank' and `weight', thereby…

Let $F$ be a totally real number field, $p$ a rational prime, and $\chi$ a finite order totally odd abelian character of Gal$(\bar{F}/F)$ such that $\chi(\mathfrak{p})=1$ for some $\mathfrak{p}|p$. Motivated by a conjecture of Stark, Gross…

For any odd prime $p,$ we construct an infinite family of pairs of imaginary quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d}),\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d+1})$ whose class numbers are both divisible by $p.$ One of our theorems settles Iizuka's conjecture for…

Theorem. An irreducible cubic polynomial with rational coefficients has a root in a one step radical extension of Q if and only if the discriminate is a square of a rational number. Theorem. An irreducible polynomial x^4+px^2+qx+s with…

The `Congruence Conjecture' was developed by the second author in a previous paper. It provides a conjectural explicit reciprocity law for a certain element associated to an abelian extension of a totally real number field whose existence…

We verify the Morrison--Kawamata conjecture for a certain class of rational threefolds, namely blowups of P^3 in the base locus of a net of quadrics with no reducible members. This seems to be the first verified case of the conjecture for…

How many natural numbers below $X$ can be written as a sum of $k$ units of the ring of integers of a given number field? We give the asymptotics as $X$ gets large for quadratic number fields. This solves a problem of Jarden and Narkiewicz…

We describe some new general constructions of $p$-adic $L$-functions attached to certain arithmetically defined complex $L$-functions coming from motives over $\bold Q$ with coefficiens in a number field $T$, with $[T:\bold Q]<\infty$.…

We prove that (under the assumption of the generalized Riemann hypothesis) a totally real multiquadratic number field $K$ has a positive density of primes $p \in \mathbb{Z}$ for which the image of the unit group $(\mathcal{O}_K)^{\times})$…

The dynamical structure of the rational map $ax+1/x$ on the projective line $\P$ over the field $\mathbb{Q}\_p$ of $p$-adic numbers is described for $p\geq 3$.

The purpose of this paper is to formulate and study a common refinement of a version of Stark's conjecture and its $p$-adic analogue, in terms of Fontaine's $p$-adic period ring and $p$-adic Hodge theory. We construct period-ring-valued…

We prove the Baum--Connes conjecture with arbitrary coefficients for some classes of groups: (1) Linear algebraic groups over a non-archimedean local field. (2) Linear algebraic groups over the adeles of a global field k, provided that at…

A conjecture of Kac states that the polynomial counting the number of absolutely indecomposable representations of a quiver over a finite field with given dimension vector has positive coefficients and furthermore that its constant term is…

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 construct an infinite family of imaginary bicyclic biquadratic number fields $k$ with the 2-ranks of their 2-class groups are $\geq3$, whose strongly ambiguous classes of $k/Q(i)$ capitulate in the absolute genus field $k^{(*)}$, which…
