Two distinct systems of commutative complex numbers in n dimensions are described, of polar and planar types. Exponential forms of n-complex numbers are given in each case, which depend on geometric variables. Azimuthal angles, which are…

We introduce and study a natural class of fields in which certain first-order definable sets are existentially definable, and characterise this class by a number of equivalent conditions. We show that global fields belong to this class, and…

Let $G\subset x{\mathbb F}_q[\![x]\!]$ ($q$ is a power of the prime $p$) be a subset of formal power series over a finite field such that it forms a compact abelian $p$-adic Lie group of dimension $d\ge 1$. We establish a necessary and…

We deduce a formula enumerating the isomorphism classes of extensions of a $\kp$-adic field $K$ with given ramification $e$ and inertia $f$. The formula follows from a simple group-theoretic lemma, plus the Krasner formula and an elementary…

We construct a class of finite rank multiplicative subgroups of the complex numbers such that the expansion of the real field by such a group is model-theoretically well-behaved. As an application we show that a classification of expansions…

We give a function field specific, algebraic proof of the main results of class field theory for abelian extensions of degree coprime to the characteristic. By adapting some methods known for number fields and combining them in a new way,…

Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field of discriminant $d_K$ with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$. When $K$ is different from $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-1})$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-3})$, we consider a certain specific model for the elliptic curve…

We give defining equations for function fields over finite fields with many rational places. They are obtained from composita of quadratic extensions of the rational function field.

This paper catalogues a variety of examples concerning a type of function of a $p$-adic integer variable defined by a formal series expression we have dubbed "$\mathcal{F}$-series". These series exhibit a new, previously undocumented form…

Let $\ell$ and $p \geq 3$ be distinct prime numbers. Let $E/\mathbb{Q}_{\ell}$ be an elliptic curve with $p$-torsion module $E_p$. Let $\mathbb{Q}_{\ell}(E_p)$ be the $p$-torsion field of $E$. We provide a complete description of the degree…

We establish a new bound for the exponential sum \begin{eqnarray*} \sum_{x\in\mathcal{X}}\Big|\sum_{y\in \mathcal{Y}}\gamma(y)\exp(2\pi i a \lambda^{xy}/p)\Big|, \end{eqnarray*} where $\lambda$ is an element of the residue ring modulo a…

For a classical group over a non-archimedean local field of odd residual characteristic p, we construct all cuspidal representations over an arbitrary algebraically closed field of characteristic different from p, as representations induced…

Let $a\geq 1$ and $n>1$ be odd integers. For a given prime $p$, we prove under certain conditions that the class groups of imaginary quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{a^2-4p^n})$ have a subgroup isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$. We…

The derivative expansion of the effective action is considered in the model with two interacting real scalar fields in curved spacetime. Using the functional approach and local momentum representation, the coefficient of the derivative term…

We prove that for p-optimal fields (a very large subclass of p-minimal fields containing all the known examples) a cell decomposition theorem follows from methods going back to Denef's paper [Invent. Math, 77 (1984)]. We derive from it the…

We establish a correspondence between automorphisms and derivations on certain algebras of generalised power series. In particular, we describe a Lie algebra of derivations on a field $k(\!(G)\!)$ of generalised power series, exploiting our…

Let $\cal R$ be either the Grothendieck semiring (semiring with multiplication) of complex algebraic varieties, or the Grothendieck ring of these varieties, or the Grothendieck ring localized by the class of the complex affine line. We…

It has been common wisdom among mathematicians that Extended Topological Field Theory in dimensions higher than two is naturally formulated in terms of n-categories with n> 1. Recently the physical meaning of these higher categorical…

Let $T$ be a polynomially bounded o-minimal theory extending the theory of real closed ordered fields. Let $K$ be a model of $T$ equipped with a $T$-convex valuation ring and a $T$-derivation. If this derivation is continuous with respect…

In this summary of my talk at Strings 2016, I explain how classical dynamics on an infinite tree graph can be dual to a conformal field theory defined over the $p$-adic numbers. An informal introduction to $p$-adic numbers is followed by a…
