A result of Watanabe and Yoshida says that an unmixed local ring of positive characteristic is regular if and only if its Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity is one. We show that, for fixed $p$ (characteristic) and $d$ (dimension), there exist a…

A theorem of A. and C. R\'enyi on periodic entire functions states that an entire function $f(z) $ must be periodic if $ P(f(z)) $ is periodic, where $ P(z) $ is a non-constant polynomial. By extending this theorem, we can answer some open…

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 $Q_d$…
