In this article, we determine all intermediate modular curves $X_\Delta(N)$ that admit infinitely many cubic points over the rational field $\mathbb{Q}$.

We study and partially classify cubic rational expressions $g(x)/h(x)$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, up to pre- and post-composition with independent M\"obius transformations. In particular, we obtain a full classification when $q$ is…

Large fields (also called ample, anti-mordellic) generalize many fields of classical interest, such as algebraically closed fields, real-closed fields, and $p$-adic fields. In this note we answer a question of Pop by generalizing a result…

The number of rational points of a plane non-singular algebraic curve X defined over a finite field is computed, provided that the generic point of X is not an inflexion and that X is Frobenius non-classical with respect to conics.

Asgarli, Ghioca, and Reichstein proved that if $K$ is a field with $|K|>2$, then for any positive integers $d$ and $n$, and separable field extension $L/K$ with degree $m=\binom{n+d}{d}$, there exists a point $P\in \mathbb{P}^n(L)$ which…

If an Fq-linear set LU in a projective space is defined by a vector subspace U which is linear over a proper superfield of Fq, then all of its points have weight at least 2. It is known that the converse of this statement holds for linear…

Let P be a set of n points in the plane, not all on a line. We show that if n is large then there are at least n/2 ordinary lines, that is to say lines passing through exactly two points of P. This confirms, for large n, a conjecture of…

Let G be an infinite group and let h and g be elements. We say that h is a root of g if some integer power of h is equal to g. We define K(G) to be the subgroup of all elements of G for which the number of elements which are not roots is of…

We interpret superfields in a functorial formalism that explains the properties that are assumed for them in the physical applications. The starting point of this research was the need to understand in a sound mathematical framework some…

Let $S \subset \P^n$ be a smooth quartic hypersurface defined over a number field $K$. If $n \ge 4$, then for some finite extension $K'$ of $K$ the set $S(K')$ of $K'$-rational points of $S$ is Zariski dense.

We introduce the notion of differential largeness for fields equipped with several commuting derivations (as an analogue to largeness of fields). We lay out the foundations of this new class of "tame" differential fields. We state several…

We determine the structure of the partition algebra $P_n(Q)$ (a generalized Temperley-Lieb algebra) for specific values of $Q \in \C$, focusing on the quotient which gives rise to the partition function of $n$ site $Q$-state Potts models…

A Hypercube $Q_n$ is a graph in which the vertices are all binary vectors of length n, and two vertices are adjacent if and only if their components differ in exactly one place. A galaxy or a star forest is a union of vertex disjoint stars.…

We investigate the large values of class numbers of cubic fields, showing that one can find arbitrary long sequences of "close" abelian cubic number fields with class numbers as large as possible. We also give a first step toward an…

We introduce a notion of highly Kummer-faithful fields and study its relationship with the notion of Kummer-faithful fields. We also give some examples of highly Kummer-faithful fields. For example, if $k$ is a number field of finite degree…

A number field K is a finite extension of rational number field Q. A circulant digraph integral over K means that all its eigenvalues are algebraic integers of K. In this paper we give the sufficient and necessary condition for circulant…

For a large class of integrable quantum field theories we show that the S-matrix determines a space of fields which decomposes into subspaces labeled, besides the charge and spin indices, by an integer k. For scalar fields k is non-negative…

Fix a field $K$. We show that $K$ is large if and only if some elementary extension of $K$ is the fraction field of a henselian local domain which is not a field. The proof uses a new result about the \'etale-open topology over $K$: if $K$…

Let $k$ be a rational congruence function field and consider an arbitrary finite separable extension $K/k$. If for each prime in $k$ ramified in $K$ we have that at least one ramification index is not divided by the characteristic of $K$,…

We comment on a recent paper by Hobson, explaining that quantum "fields" are no more fields than quantum "particles" are particles, so that the replacement of a particle ontology by an all-field ontology cannot solve the typical…
