Given a suitable collection of partitions of sets, there exists a connection to easy quantum groups via intertwiner maps. A sufficient condition for this correspondence to be one-to-one are particular linear independences on the level of…

The Thue--Morse sequence $\{t(n)\}_{n\geqslant 1}$ is the indicator function of the parity of the number of ones in the binary expansion of positive integers $n$, where $t(n)=1$ (resp. $=0$) if the binary expansion of $n$ has an odd (resp.…

This note considers the finite linear independence of coherent systems associated to discrete subgroups. We show by simple arguments that such coherent systems of amenable groups are linearly independent whenever the associated twisted…

Let E/Q be an elliptic curve with a fixed modular parametrization F : X_0(N) --> E and let P_1,...,P_r be Heegner points on E attached to the rings of integers of distinct quadratic imaginary field k_1,...,k_r. We prove that if the odd…

A set $S\subseteq\{0,1\}^E$ of binary vectors, with positions indexed by $E$, is said to be a \textit{powerful code} if, for all $X\subseteq E$, the number of vectors in $S$ that are zero in the positions indexed by $X$ is a power of 2. By…

We investigate the arithmetic nature of special values of Thakur's function field Gamma function at rational points. Our main result is that all linear independence relations over the field of algebraic functions are consequences of the…

For almost all tuples $(x_1,\dots,x_n)$ of complex numbers, a strong version of Schanuel's Conjecture is true: the $2n$ numbers $x_1,\dots,x_n, {\mathrm e}^{x_1},\dots, {\mathrm e}^{x_n}$ are algebraically independent. Similar statements…

The aim of this paper is to give linear independence results for the values of certain series. As an application, we derive arithmetical properties of the sums of reciprocals of Fibonacci and Lucas numbers associated with certain coprime…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic,let K/k be a finitely generated field extension and let X be a separated scheme of finite type over K. For each prime ell, the absolute Galois group of K acts on the…

We give conditions on sequences of positive algebraic numbers $\{a_{n,j}\}_{n=1}^\infty$, $j=1,\dots ,M$ and number field $\mathbb K$ to ensure that the numbers defined by the continued fractions $[0;a_{1,j},a_{2,j},\dots ]$, $j=1,\dots ,M$…

In this note we prove algebraic independence results for the values of a special class of Mahler functions. In particular, the generating functions of Thue-Morse, regular paperfolding and Cantor sequences belong to this class, and we obtain…

Given an integral domain A we consider the set of all integral elements over A that can occur as an eigenvalue of a symmetric matrix over A. We give a sufficient criterion for being such an element. In the case where A is the ring of…

Let $K$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ that is totally ramified over $\mathbb{Q}_p$. The set $\mathcal{M}\mathcal{F}(K)$ consists of power series in $1+zK[[z]]$ that are solutions of differential operators in $K(z)[d/dz]$ equipped…

We introduce the notion of Hilbert $C^*$-module independence: Let $\mathscr{A}$ be a unital $C^*$-algebra and let $\mathscr{E}_i\subseteq \mathscr{E},\,\,i=1, 2$, be ternary subspaces of a Hilbert $\mathscr{A}$-module $\mathscr{E}$. Then…

In this paper, we use a simple discrete dynamical model to study partitions of integers into powers of another integer. We extend and generalize some known results about their enumeration and counting, and we give new structural results. In…

We study the properties of algebraic independence and pointwise algebraic independence in a class of continuous theories, the randomizations $T^R$ of complete first order theories $T$. If algebraic and definable closure coincide in $T$,…

The study of linear independence of $L(k, \chi)$ for a fixed integer $k>1$ and varying $\chi$ depends critically on the parity of $k$ vis-\`a-vis $\chi$. This has been investigated by a number of authors for Dirichlet characters $\chi$ of a…

In this paper, we estimate the linear independence measures for the values of a class Mahler functions of degree one and two. For the purpose, we study the determinants of suitable Hermite-Pad\'{e} approximation polynomials. Based on the…

Using a generalization of forward elimination, it is proved that functions $f_1,...,f_n:X\to\mathbb{A}$, where $\mathbb{A}$ is a field, are linearly independent if and only if there exists a nonsingular matrix $[f_i(x_j)]$ of size $n$,…

In this note, we shall give an improved lower bound for the argument of a power of a given algebraic number which has absolute value one but is not a root of unity.
