Let X be a smooth variety over a field k, and l be a prime number invertible in k. We study the (\'etale) unramified H^3 of X with coefficients Q_l/Z_l(2) in the style of Colliot-Th\'el\`ene and Voisin. If k is separably closed, finite or…

In this note, basing on a certain functional equation of the dilogarithm function, we establish nontrivial lower bounds for the $p$-adic valuation (where $p$ is a given prime number) of some type of rational numbers involving harmonic…

We extend a recent result on the existence of wandering domains of polynomial functions defined over the p-adic field C_p to any algebraically closed complete non-archimedean field C_K with residue characteristic p>0. We also prove that…

In this paper, we prove that reduced dynamics on Collatz conjecture is periodical, and its period equals 2 to the power of the count of x/2 computation in the reduced dynamics. More specifically, if there exists reduced dynamics of x (that…

A mapping conjugate to the Collatz mapping seems to imply that $\N=\{1,2,3,\ldots\}$ is partitioned in a trivial loop $\{1\}$ and `strings' that are ordered subsets of $\{\N \setminus 1\}$ that run from an element of $\{2+3\0\}$ to an…

We study variants of the well-known Collatz graph, by considering the action of the 3n+1 function on congruence classes. For moduli equal to powers of 2, these graphs are shown to be isomorphic to binary De Bruijn graphs. Unlike the Collatz…

We consider the semiring of abstract finite dynamical systems up to isomorphism, with the operations of alternative and synchronous execution. We continue searching for efficient algorithms for solving polynomial equations of the form $P(X)…

We prove a dynamical version of the Mordell-Lang conjecture for etale endomorphisms of quasiprojective varieties. We use p-adic methods inspired by the work of Skolem, Mahler, and Lech, combined with methods from algebraic geometry. As…

Following up on earlier work, I suggest why there are no mappings to infinity under the Collatz conjecture, nor under other mappings of the generalization $3n+p$, where $p$ is odd.

We prove that arboreal Galois extensions of number fields are never abelian for post-critically finite rational maps and non-preperiodic base points. For polynomials, this establishes a new class of known cases of a conjecture of…

Persistent cycles, especially the minimal ones, are useful geometric features functioning as augmentations for the intervals in a purely topological persistence diagram (also termed as barcode). In our earlier work, we showed that computing…

A $P$-polynomial corner, for $P \in \mathbb{Z}[z]$ a polynomial, is a triple of points $(x,y),\; (x+P(z),y),\; (x,y+P(z))$ for $x,y,z \in \mathbb{Z}$. In the case where $P$ has an integer root of multiplicity $1$, we show that if $A…

We examine possibility to design an efficient solving algorithm for problems of the class \np. It is introduced a classification of \np problems by the property that a partial solution of size $k$ can be extended into a partial solution of…

The Collatz problem is related to the fixed point problem, and is widely used in mathematics. It has attracted a wide range of math enthusiasts, but is still difficult to solve. So, this article aimed to study the extension of the Collatz…

We prove a recent conjecture due to Deutsch, Sagan, and Wilson stating that the finite sequence obtained from the first p central trinomial coefficients modulo p by replacing nonzero terms by 1's is palindromic, for any prime number p > 3.…

Using an idelic argument and assuming the Gersten conjecture for Milnor K-theory, we show that the restriction map from one-cycles on a smooth projective scheme over a henselian local ring to a pro-system of thickened zero-cycles is…

A large class of real $3$-dimensional nilpotent polynomial vector fields of arbitrary degree is considered. The aim of this work is to present general properties of the discrete and continuous dynamical systems induced by these vector…

We study the Poincare-Bendixson theorem for two-dimensional continuous dynamical systems in compact domains from the point of view of computation, seeking algorithms for finding the limit cycle promised by this classical result. We start by…

In the Collatz 3x+1 problem, there are 3 possibilities: Starting from any positive number, we either reach the trivial loop (1,4,2), end up in a non-trivial loop, or go until infinity. In this paper, we shall show that if a non-trivial loop…

The main objective of this article is to establish the $p$-adic Artin formalism for the algebraic $p$-adic $L$-functions attached to the adjoint representations of Coleman families of modular forms. In particular, we prove a factorization…
