Following our first article, we continue to investigate ultrametic modules over a ring of twisted polynomials of the form $[K;\vfi]$, where $\vfi$ is a ring endomorphism of $K$. The main motivation comes from the the theory of valued…

Cantor sets of integers have a rich set of arithmetic combinatorial properties. We consider classical Cantor sets, with a base and a fixed set of allowed digits. For such sets, we (a) give examples of such sets that satisfy the intersective…

This is a draft of a book submitted for publication by the AMS. Its theme is the remarkable interplay, accelerating in the last few decades, between topology and the theory of orderable groups, with applications in both directions. It…

A natural topology on the space of left orderings of an arbitrary semi-group is introduced. It is proved that this space is compact and that for free abelian groups it is homeomorphic to the Cantor set. An application of this result is a…

We complete the description of group gradings on finite-dimensional incidence algebras. Moreover, we classify the finite-dimensional graded algebras that can be realized as incidence algebras endowed with a group grading.

The paper presents a classification of quadratic extension algebras, also known as algebras of degree 2, as well as several characterizations of quaternion algebras over a field (of characteristic not 2). The presentation is not restricted…

For polynomials of degree two over finite fields, we present an improvement of Fitzgerald's characterization (Finite Fields Appl. 9(1):117-121, 2003). We then use this new characterization to obtain an explicit, complete, and simple…

Let G be a 2-group of order 2^n, n>5, and nilpotency class n-2. The invariants of such groups determined by their group algebras over the field of two elements are given in the paper.

Definable topological groups whose topologies are affine have definable $\mathcal C^r$ structures in d-minimal expansions of ordered fields, where $r$ is a positive integer. We prove this fact using a new notion called partition degree of a…

By the introduction of locally constant prefactorization algebras at a fixed scale, we show a mathematical incarnation of the fact that observables at a given scale of a topological field theory propagate to every scale over euclidean…

Given an S-arithmetic group, we ask how much information on the ambient algebraic group, number field of definition, and set of places S is encoded in the commensurability class of the profinite completion. As a first step, we show that the…

The enumeration of points on (or off) the union of some linear or affine subspaces over a finite field is dealt with in combinatorics via the characteristic polynomial and in algebraic geometry via the zeta function. We discuss the basic…

We study the preorder $\le_p$ on the family of subsets of an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$ defined by letting $A\le_pB $ if there exists a polynomial $P$ such that $A=P^{-1}(B)$.

We study the arithmetic aspects of the finite group of extensions of abelian varieties defined over a number field. In particular, we establish relations with special values of L-functions and congruences between modular forms.

We study the set of algebraic numbers of bounded height and bounded degree where an analytic transcendental function takes algebraic values.

We consider the oscillator group equipped with a bi-invariant Lorentzian metric, and then some geometrical properties of this group i.e. homogeneous Ricci solitons and harmonicity properties of invariant vector fields are obtained. We also…

In this work we show that the classical subject of general valuation theory and Zariski-Riemann varieties has a much wider scope than commutative algebra and desingularization theory. We construct and investigate birational projective limit…

Let $\iota:K\hookrightarrow L\cong K(x)$ be a simple transcendental extension of valued fields, where $K$ is equipped with a valuation $\nu$ of rank 1. That is, we assume given a rank 1 valuation $\nu$ of $K$ and its extension $\nu'$ to…

Let F be the field of two elements and G a finite abelian 2-group with an involutory automorphism. The extension of this automorphism to the group algebra FG is called an involutory involution. This determines the groups of unitary and…

We present elements of a theory of translation-invariant integration on finite dimensional vector spaces and on GL_n over a valuation field with local field as residue field. We then discuss the case of an arbitrary algebraic group. This…
