In this paper we consider Diophantine equations of the form $f(x)=g(y)$ where $f$ has simple rational roots and $g$ has rational coefficients. We give strict conditions for the cases where the equation has infinitely many solutions in…
Let X=H\G be a homogeneous spherical variety for a split reductive group G over the integers o of a p-adic field k, and K=G(o) a hyperspecial maximal compact subgroup of G=G(k). We compute eigenfunctions ("spherical functions") on X=X(k)…
Let $G$ be a topological Abelian semigroup with unit, let $E$ be a Banach space, and let $C(G,E)$ denote the set of continuous functions $f\colon G\to E$. A function $f\in C(G,E)$ is a generalized polynomial, if there is an $n\ge 0$ such…
Let F be characteristic zero field, G a residually finite group and W a G-prime and PI F-algebra. By constructing G-graded central polynomials for W, we prove the G-graded version of Posner's theorem. More precisely, if S denotes all…
An Engel sink of an element $g$ of a group $G$ is a set ${\mathscr E}(g)$ such that for every $x\in G$ all sufficiently long commutators $[...[[x,g],g],\dots ,g]$ belong to ${\mathscr E}(g)$. (Thus, $g$ is an Engel element precisely when we…
Let g be a basic classical Lie superalgebra over C. In the case of a typical weight whose every nonnegative integer multiple is also typical, we compute a closed form for the Hilbert series whose coefficients encode the dimensions of…
Let $\mathbb D=G/K$ be a complex bounded symmetric domain of tube type in a Jordan algebra $V_{\mathbb C}$, and let $D=H/L =\mathbb D\cap V$ be its real form in a Jordan algebra $V\subset V_{\mathbb C}$. The analytic continuation of the…
In this paper, we give a finite number of defining relations satisfied by a finite number of generators for the elliptic Lie algebras and superalgebras ${\frak g}_R$ with rank $\geq 2$. Here the $R$'s denote the reduced and non-reduced…
Using the Hopf superalgebra structure of the enveloping algebra $U(\mathfrak g)$ of a Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak=\mathrm{Lie}(G)$, we give a purely algebraic treatment of $K$-bi-invariant functions on a Lie supergroup $G$, where $K$ is a…
Let $A$ and $B$ be non-constant rational functions over $\mathbb{C}$, and let $K \subset \mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{C})$ be an infinite set. Using height functions, we prove that the inclusion $ A^{-1}(K) \subseteq B^{-1}(K) $ implies the…
This work introduces and investigates the function $J(G) = \frac{\text{Nil}(G)}{L(G)}$, where $\text{Nil}(G)$ denotes the number of nilpotent subgroups and $L(G)$ the total number of subgroups of a finite group $G$. The function $J(G)$,…
We let S denote the ring of polynomial functions on the space of m x n matrices, and consider the action of the group GL = GL_m x GL_n via row and column operations on the matrix entries. For a GL-invariant ideal I in S we show that the…
We consider $L$-functions $L_1,\ldots,L_k$ from the Selberg class which have polynomial Euler product and satisfy Selberg's orthonormality condition. We show that on every vertical line $s=\sigma+it$ with $\sigma\in(1/2,1)$, these…
A general structure theorem on higher order invariants is proven. For an arithmetic group, the structure of the corresponding Hecke module is determined. It is shown that the module does not contain any irreducible submodule. This explains…
The $G$-representation variety $R_G(\Sigma_g)$ parametrizes the representations of the fundamental groups of surfaces $\pi_1(\Sigma_g)$ into an algebraic group $G$. Taking $G$ to be the groups of $n \times n$ upper triangular or unipotent…
Building on our previous work on rigid analytic uniformizations, we introduce Darmon points on Jacobians of Shimura curves attached to quaternion algebras over Q and formulate conjectures about their rationality properties. Moreover, if K…
The family of symmetric powers of an $L$-function associated with an elliptic curve with complex multiplication has received much attention from algebraic, automorphic and p-adic points of view. Here we examine one explicit such family from…
In this paper we solve a problem posed by M.E. Rossi: {\it Is the Hilbert function of a Gorenstein local ring of dimension one not decreasing? } More precisely, for any integer $h>1$, $h \notin\{14+22k, \, 35+46k \ | \ k\in\mathbb{N} \}$,…
Borel's rank theorem identifies the ranks of algebraic $K$-groups of the ring of integers of a number field with the orders of vanishing of the Dedekind zeta function attached to the field. Following the work of Gross, we establish a…
With respect to the analytic-algebraic dichotomy, the theory of Siegel modular forms of half-integral weight is lopsided; the analytic theory is strong whereas the algebraic lags behind. In this paper, we capitalise on this to establish the…
