Let $T$ be a complete theory of fields, possibly with extra structure. Suppose that model-theoretic algebraic closure agrees with field-theoretic algebraic closure, or more generally that model-theoretic algebraic closure has the exchange…

We investigate the amenability of skew filed extensions of the complex numbers. We prove that all skew fields of finite Gelfand-Kirillov transcendence degree are amenable. However there are both amenable and non-amenable skew fields of…

Let $K$ be a Henselian, non-trivially valued field with separated analytic structure. We prove the existence of definable retractions onto an arbitrary closed definable subset of $K^{n}$. Hence directly follow definable non-Archimedean…

We prove that the genus of a finite-dimensional division algebra is finite whenever the center is a finitely generated field of any characteristic. We also discuss potential applications of our method to other problems, including the…

Refining a constructive combinatorial method due to MacLane and Schilling, we give several criteria for a valued field that guarantee that all of its maximal immediate extensions have infinite transcendence degree. If the value group of the…

We prove that in each degree divisible by 2 or 3, there are infinitely many totally real number fields that require universal quadratic forms to have arbitrarily large rank.

Permutation polynomials are an interesting subject of mathematics and have applications in other areas of mathematics and engineering. In this paper, we develop general theorems on permutation polynomials over finite fields. As a…

For any finite field $\mathbb{F}$ and any positive integer $n$ we count the number of monic polynomials of degree $n$ over $\mathbb{F}$ with nonzero constant coefficient and a self-reciprocal factor of any specified degree. An application…

In the present paper we investigate the convergence of a double series over a complete non-Archimedean field and prove that, while the proofs are somewhat different, the Archimedean results hold true.

This paper builds fundamental perfect fields of positive characteristic and shows the structure of perfect fields that a field of positive characteristic is a perfect field if and only if it is an algebraic extension of a fundamental…

Let $E\supseteq F$ be a field extension and $M$ a graded Lie algebra of maximal class over $E$. We investigate the $F$-subalgebras $L$ of $M$, generated by elements of degree $1$. We provide conditions for $L$ being either ideally…

The algebra of exponential fields and their extensions is developed. The focus is on ELA-fields, which are algebraically closed with a surjective exponential map. In this context, finitely presented extensions are defined, it is shown that…

The genus gen(D) of a finite-dimensional central division algebra D over a field F is defined as the collection of classes [D'] in the Brauer group Br(F), where D' is a central division F-algebra having the same maximal subfields as D. For…

We call a triangulated category \emph{hereditary} provided that it is equivalent to the bounded derived category of a hereditary abelian category, where the equivalence is required to commute with the translation functors. If the…

We give some examples of abelian categories A for which the derived category D(A) is not left-complete. Perhaps the most natural of these is where A is the category of representations of the additive group G_a over a field k of…

G. Prasad and A. Rapinchuk asked if two quaternion division F -algebras that have the same subfields are necessarily isomorphic. The answer is known to be "no" for some very large fields. We prove that the answer is "yes" if F is an…

We introduce totally nonnegative Grassmannians over finite fields where an element of a finite field is nonnegative if it is a square of an element of the finite field. Explicit point counts are given in some special cases where we find new…

We introduce the notion of fully Hilbertian fields, a strictly stronger notion than that of Hilbertian fields. We show that this class of fields exhibits the same good behavior as Hilbertian fields, but for fields of uncountable…

This is a survey on the state-of-the-art of the classification of finite-dimensional complex Hopf algebras. This general question is addressed through the consideration of different classes of such Hopf algebras. Pointed Hopf algebras…

In this paper, we describe an elementary method for counting the number of non-isomorphic algebras of a fixed dimension over a given finite field. We show how this method works for the explicit example of $2$-dimensional algebras over the…
