In this paper we give a positive answer to a question of Nash concerning the arc space of a singularity, for the class of quasi-ordinary hypersurface singularities, extending to this case previous results and techniques of Shihoko Ishii.

Graduated locally finitely presentable categories are introduced, examples include categories of sets, vector spaces, posets, presheaves and Boolean algebras. A finitary functor between graduated locally finitely presentable categories is…

We study rational functions over finite fields under PGL-equivalence. We say that $f, g \in \Bbb F_q(X)$ are \emph{equivalent} if there exist $\psi, \phi \in \Bbb F_q(X)$ of degree one such that $g = \psi \circ f \circ \phi$. Most…

The goal of this note is to bring attention to an interesting family of rings: the rings of $\mathbb Z$-valued functions on $\mathbb Z$ and, more generally, infinite subsets of $\mathbb Z$ whose restrictions to all finite sets are given by…

To a Nash function germ, we associate a zeta function similar to the one introduced by J. Denef and F. Loeser. Our zeta function is a formal power series with coefficients in the Grothendieck ring $\mathcal{M}$ of $\mathcal{AS}$-sets up to…

The polynomial method has been used recently to obtain many striking results in combinatorial geometry. In this paper, we use affine Hilbert functions to obtain an estimation theorem in finite field geometry. The most natural way to state…

We extend the family of classical Schur algebras in type A, which determine the polynomial representation theory of general linear groups over an infinite field, to a larger family, the rational Schur algebras, which determine the rational…

Let $\Omega$ be a domain in $R^n$, and let $N=3\cdot 2^{n-1}$. We prove that the trace of the space $C^2(\Omega)$ to the boundary of $\Omega$ has the following finiteness property: A function $f:\partial\Omega\to R$ is the trace to the…

We give upper bounds for the level and the Pythagoras number of function fields over fraction fields of integral Henselian excellent local rings. In particular, we show that the Pythagoras number of $\mathbb{R}((x_1,\dots,x_n))$ is $\leq…

Let $L$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$. We calculate the proportion of polynomials of degree $d$ in $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ that are everywhere locally norms from $L/\mathbb{F}_q(t)$ which fail to be global norms from…

In this paper, by the generalized Bell umbra and Rolle's theorem, we give some results on the real rootedness of polynomials. Some applications on partition polynomials and the sigma polynomials of graphs are given.

Let f(t,X) be an irreducible polynomial over the field of rational functions k(t), where k is a number field. Let O be the ring of integers of k. Hilbert's irreducibility theorem gives infinitely many integral specializations of t to values…

We present an extension of the classical De Giorgi class, and then we show that functions in this new class are locally bounded and locally H\"older continuous. Some applications are given. As a first application, we give a regularity…

We develop a novel formal theory of finite structures, based on a view of finite structures as a fundamental artifact of computing and programming, forming a common platform for computing both within particular finite structures, and in the…

For a compact group $\mathbb{G}$, the functor from unital Banach algebras with contractive morphisms to metric spaces with 1-Lipschitz maps sending a Banach algebra $A$ to the space of $\mathbb{G}$-representations in $A$ preserves filtered…

We provide a simple proof of the Holonomy Theorem using a new Lyndon-Chiswell length function on the Karnofsky-Rhodes expansion of a semigroup. Unexpectedly, we have both a left and a right action on the Chiswell tree by elliptic maps.

We present local classification results for isolated singularities of functions with respect to a Nambu structure (multi-vector field) of maximal degree, in a neighbourhood of a smooth point of its degeneracy hypersurface. The results…

We give an overview about finiteness properties of soluble S-arithmetic groups. Both, the number field case and the function field case are covered. The main result is: If B is a Borel subgroup in a Chevalley group and R is an S-arithmetic…

Let $k$ be a field, $K/k$ finitely generated and $L/K$ a finite, separable extension. We show that the existence of a $k$-valuation on $L$ which ramifies in $L/K$ implies the existence of a normal model $X$ of $K$ and a prime divisor $D$ on…

We prove that, for an analytic family of ``weakly tame'' regular functions on an affine manifold, the spectrum at infinity of each function of the family is semicontinuous in the sense of Varchenko.
