Given a family of continuous real functions $\mathcal{G}$, let $R_\mathcal{G}$ be a binary relation defined as follows: a continuous function $f\colon\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ is in the relation with a closed set $E\subseteq\mathbb{R}$ if…

We give a computationally efficient method for constructing the linear differential operator with polynomial coefficients whose space of holomorphic solutions is spanned by all the branches of a function defined by a generic algebraic…

We consider pairs of automorphisms $(\phi,\sigma)$ acting on fields of Laurent or Puiseux series: pairs of shift operators $(\phi\colon x\mapsto x+h_1, \sigma\colon x\mapsto x+h_2)$, of $q$-difference operators $(\phi\colon x\mapsto q_1x,\…

We formulate and prove a combinatorial criterion to decide if an A-hypergeometric system of differential equations has a full set of algebraic solutions or not. This criterion generalises the so-called interlacing criterion in the case of…

We develop a Galois theory for systems of linear difference equations with periodic parameters, for which we also introduce linear difference algebraic groups. We then apply this to constructively test if solutions of linear q-difference…

We develop a new connection between Differential Algebra and Geometric Invariant Theory, based on an anti-equivalence of categories between solution algebras associated to a linear differential equation (i.e. differential algebras generated…

We present a geometric setting for the differential Galois theory of $G$-invariant connections with parameters. As an application of some classical results on differential algebraic groups and Lie algebra bundles, we see that the Galois…

This note was prepared as a handout for the MAT401 course ``Polynomial equations and fields", taught at the University of Toronto in Spring 2026. It presents a proof of a necessary condition for the solvability of algebraic equations by…

We find all polynomials f,g,h over a field K such that g and h are linear and f(g(x))=h(f(x)). We also solve the same problem for rational functions f,g,h, in case the field K is algebraically closed.

We make explicit certain results around the Galois correspondence in the context of definable automorphism groups, and point out the relation to some recent papers dealing with the Galois theory of algebraic differential equations when the…

In this paper, the changes of representations of a group are used in order to describe its action as algebraic Galois group of an univariate polynomial on the roots of factors of any Lagrange resolvent. By this way, the Galois group of…

A function that is analytic on a domain of $\mathbb{C}^n$ is holonomic if it is the solution to a holonomic system of linear homogeneous differential equations with polynomial coefficients. We define and study the Bernstein-Sato polynomial…

We compare several definitions of the Galois group of a linear difference equation that have arisen in algebra, analysis and model theory and show, that these groups are isomorphic over suitable fields. In addition, we study properties of…

It is a classical result from universal algebra that the notions of polymorphisms and invariants provide a Galois connection between suitably closed classes (clones) of finitary operations $f\colon B^n\to B$, and classes (coclones) of…

This article provides an algebraic study of intermediate inquisitive and dependence logics. While these logics are usually investigated using team semantics, here we introduce an alternative algebraic semantics and we prove it is complete…

We generalize both the notion of polynomial functions on Lie groups and the notion of horizontally affine maps on Carnot groups. We fix a subset $S$ of the algebra $\mathfrak g$ of left-invariant vector fields on a Lie group $\mathbb G$ and…

Let G be complex linear-algebraic group, H a subgroup, which is dense in G in the Zariski-topology. Assume that G/[G,G] is reductive and furthermore that (1) G is solvable, or (2) the semisimple elements in G'=[G,G] are dense. Then every…

In this article, we prove a generalized Rodrigues formula for a wide class of holonomic Laurent series, which yields a new linear independence criterion concerning their values at algebraic points. This generalization yields a new…

We consider a formal power series in one variable whose coefficients are holomorphic functions in a given multidimensional complex domain. Assume the following two conditions on the series. (C1) The restriction of the series at each point…
