We investigate which plane curves admit rational families of quasi-toric relations. This extends previous results of Takahashi and Tokunaga in the positive case and of the author in the negative case.
We study the construction of quasimorphisms on groups acting on trees introduced by Monod and Shalom, that we call median quasimorphisms, and in particular we fully characterise actions on trees that give rise to non-trivial median…
Let F be a field of characteristic 2. In this paper we determine the Kato-Milne cohomology of the rational function field F(x) in one variable x. This will be done by proving an analogue of the Milnor exact sequence [4] in the setting of…
We prove a general criterion for the vanishing of second bounded cohomology (with trivial real coefficients) for groups that admit an action satisfying certain mild hypotheses. This leads to new computations of the second bounded cohomology…
A brief and incomplete review of known integrable and (quasi)-exactly-solvable quantum models with rational (meromorphic in Cartesian coordinates) potentials is given. All of them are characterized by (i) a discrete symmetry of the…
Some of the consequences that follow from the C_2 condition of Zhu are analysed. In particular it is shown that every conformal field theory satisfying the C_2 condition has only finitely many n-point functions, and this result is used to…
We study the problem of rationality of an infinite series of components, the so-called Ein components, of the Gieseker-Maruyama moduli space $M(e,n)$ of rank 2 stable vector bundles with the first Chern class $e=0$ or -1 and all possible…
In this survey article we review Kac-Moody and Heisenberg algebra actions on the categories $\mathcal{O}$ of the rational Cherednik algebras associated to groups $G(\ell,1,n)$. Using these actions we solve basic representation theoretic…
Let $L$ be a simply-connected simple connected algebraic group over a number field $F$, and $H$ be a semisimple absolutely maximal connected $F$-subgroup of $L$. Under a cohomological condition, we prove an asymptotic formula for the number…
In this paper we put together some tools from differential topology and analysis in order to study second order semi-linear partial differential equations on a Riemannian manifold $M$. We look for solutions that are constants along orbits…
Gr\"obner bases have been generalized by replacing monomial orders with constructions such as valuations and filtrations. We consider suitable valuations on a rational valuation field $K(x,y)$ and analyze their behavior when restricting to…
Let $K$ be a field, $G$ a finite group. Let $G$ act on the function field $L = K(x_{\sigma} : \sigma \in G)$ by $\tau \cdot x_{\sigma} = x_{\tau\sigma}$ for any $\sigma, \tau \in G$. Denote the fixed field of the action by $K(G) = L^{G} =…
In experimental applications of bounded-reasoning models, behavior is often summarized by distributions of "levels". We argue that such summaries conflate two conceptually distinct dimensions: a player's type, capturing beliefs about what…
Using the description of the Frobenius limit of modules over the ring of invariants under an action of a finite group on a polynomial ring over a field of characteristic $p>0$ developed by Symonds and the author, we give a characterization…
Let $k$ be a field and $x,y$ indeterminates over $k$. Let $R=k[x^a,x^{p_1}y^{s_1},\ldots,x^{p_t}y^{s_t},y^b] \subseteq k[x,y]$. We calculate the Hilbert polynomial of $(x^a,y^b)$. The multiplicity of this ideal provides part of a criterion…
We introduce a class of regularisable infinite dimensional principal fibre bundles which includes fibre bundles arising in gauge field theories like Yang-Mills and string theory and which generalise finite dimensional Riemannian principal…
For any finite $k$-group scheme $G$ acting rationally on a $k$-variety, if the action is generically free then the dimension of $\mathrm{Lie} (G)$ is upper bounded by the dimension of the variety. We show that this is the only obstruction…
It is frequently useful to construct dual descriptions of theories containing antisymmetric tensor fields by introducing a new potential whose curl gives the dual field strength, thereby interchanging field equations with Bianchi…
Kuratowski's closure-complement problem gives rise to a monoid generated by the closure and complement operations. Consideration of this monoid yielded an interesting classification of topological spaces, and subsequent decades saw further…
Let $H$ be a skew field of finite dimension over its center $k$. We solve the Inverse Galois Problem over the field of fractions $H(X)$ of the ring of polynomial functions over $H$ in the variable $X$, if $k$ contains an ample field.
