We study universal polynomials of characteristic classes associated to the $\mathcal{A}$-classification (i.e. up to right-left equivalence) of holomorphic map-germs $(\mathbb{C}^2,0) \to (\mathbb{C}^n, 0)$ $(n=2,3)$. That enables us to…
For a field $E$ of characteristic different from $2$ and cohomological $2$-dimension one, quadratic forms over the rational function field $E(X)$ are studied. A characterisation in terms of polynomials in $E[X]$ is obtained for having that…
We introduce the universal unitarily graded A-algebra for a commutative ring A and an arbitrary abelian extension U of the group of units of A, and use this concept to give simplified proofs of the main theorems of co-Galois theory in the…
A polynomial with coefficients in the ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_{K}$ of a global field $K$ is called intersective if it has a root modulo every finite-indexed subgroup of $\mathcal{O}_{K}$. We prove two criteria for a polynomial…
We study sets of integers that can be defined by the vanishing of a generalised polynomial expression. We show that this includes sets of values of linear recurrent sequences of Salem type and some linear recurrent sequences of Pisot type.…
Let $X$ be a complete smooth variety defined over number field $K$ and $i$ an integer. The absolute Galois group of $K$ acts on the $i$th $l$-adic etale cohomology of $X$ for all $l$, producing a system of $l$-adic representations…
We develop algorithms to compute the differential Galois group corresponding to a one-parameter family of second order homogeneous ordinary linear differential equations with rational function coefficients. More precisely, we consider…
In this note we consider questions about parametrisations of elliptic curves defined over number fields by quotients of the upper half-plane by finite index subgroups of SL_2(Z). We ask if we can choose such a parametrisation of an elliptic…
By a generalized Delsarte polynomial we mean a Laurent polynomial whose exponent vectors are linearly independent. We consider certain monomial deformations of generalized Delsarte polynomials and study their associated differential…
To each quadratic number field $K$ and each quadratic polynomial $f$ with $K$-coefficients, one can associate a finite directed graph $G(f,K)$ whose vertices are the $K$-rational preperiodic points for $f$, and whose edges reflect the…
Let $G$ be a classical group of dimension $d$ and let $\boldsymbol{a}=(a_1,\dots,a_d)$ be differential indeterminates over a differential field $F$ of characteristic zero with algebraically closed field of constants $C$. Further let…
We prove a stronger form of our previous result that Schinzel's Hypothesis holds for $100\%$ of $n$-tuples of integer polynomials satisfying the usual necessary conditions, where the primes represented by the polynomials are subject to…
Andrews and Petsche proposed in 2020 a conjectural characterization of all pairs $(f,\alpha)$, where $f$ is a polynomial over a number field $K$ and $\alpha\in K$, such that the dynamical Galois group of the pair $(f,\alpha)$ is abelian. In…
We give a quantitative version of a result due to N. Katz about L-functions of elliptic curves over function fields over finite fields. Roughly speaking, Katz's Theorem states that, on average over a suitably chosen algebraic family, the…
In Proposition I of "Memoire sur les conditions de resolubilite des equations par radicaux", Galois established that any intermediate extension of the splitting field of a polynomial with rational coefficients is the fixed field of its…
We introduce two new bases of the ring of polynomials and study their relations to known bases. The first basis is the quasiLascoux basis, which is simultaneously both a $K$-theoretic deformation of the quasikey basis and also a lift of the…
We continue our earlier study of finite dimensional definable groups in models of the the model companion of an o-minimal L-theory T expanded by a generic derivation as in [F-K]. We generalize Buium's notion of an algebraic D-group to…
By virtue of the well-known theorem, a structure Lie group K of a principal bundle $P$ is reducible to its closed subgroup H iff there exists a global section of the quotient bundle P/K. In gauge theory, such sections are treated as Higgs…
A Galois theory of differential fields with parameters is developed in a manner that generalizes Kolchin's theory. It is shown that all connected differential algebraic groups are Galois groups of some appropriate differential field…
The domination polynomial of a graph $G$ is given by $D(G,x)=\sum_{k=0}^{n} d_k(G)x^k$ where $d_k(G)$ records the number of $k$-element dominating sets in $G$. A conjecture of Alikhani and Peng asserts that these polynomials have unimodal…
