We give a new proof of the Mordell-Lang conjecture in positive characteristic for finitely generated subgroups. We also make some progress towards the full Mordell-Lang conjecture in positive characteristic.

We construct a family of infinite degree tt-rings, giving a negative answer to an open question by P. Balmer.

Sesquilinear forms which are not necessarily positive may have a different behavior, with respect to a positive form, on each side. For this reason a Lebesgue-type decomposition on one side is provided for generic forms satisfying a…

The behavior of objects associated with general extended affine Lie algebras is typically distinct from their counterparts in affine Lie algebras. Our research focuses on studying characters and Cartan automorphisms, which appear in the…

We construct an infinite family of real cyclotomic fields with non-trivial class group. This result generalizes the result in [1] in the sense that our family includes theirs.

We show that the set of algebraic extensions $F$ of $\mathbb{Q}$ in which $\mathbb{Z}$ or the ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_F$ are definable is meager in the set of all algebraic extensions.

We show that it is relatively consistent with ZF that the Borel hierarchy on the reals has length $\omega_2$. This implies that $\omega_1$ has countable cofinality, so the axiom of choice fails very badly in our model. A similar argument…

We prove that the ring of Weyl invariant $E_8$ weak Jacobi forms is isomorphic to that of joint covariants of a binary sextic and a binary quartic form. The ring is therefore finitely generated. A minimal basis of generators is obtained…

We describe the generalized Matsuda's theorem, and some results of a Burnside ring extend a partial Burnside ring. In particular, we give isomorphism between partial Burnside rings of different groups. Moreover, we consider the relationship…

We give a criterion for bounding the homological finiteness length of certain HF-groups. This is used in two distinct contexts. Firstly, the homological finiteness length of a non-uniform lattice on a locally finite n-dimensional…

The matrix convexity and the matrix monotony of a real $C^1$ function $f$ on $(0,\infty)$ are characterized in terms of the conditional negative or positive definiteness of the Loewner matrices associated with $f$, $tf(t)$, and $t^2f(t)$.…

An elegant but elementary result of Wolff from 1921, when interpreted in terms of Banach algebras, shows that it is possible to find a sequence of distinct characters $\phi_n$ on the disc algebra and an $\ell_1$ sequence of complex numbers…

We discuss various computational issues around the problem of determining the character values of finite Chevalley groups, in the framework provided by Lusztig's theory of character sheaves. Some of the remaining open questions (concerning…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive group over $\kk$, an algebraic closure of a finite field. For an integer $r\ge 1$ let $G_r=G(\kk[\e]/(\e^r))$ viewed as an algebraic group of dimension $r\dim G$ over $\kk$. We show that the character of the…

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 $M$ be a finite von Neumann algebra. In the first part, we give asymptotic results about $M$-stable sequences of weak*-continuous mappings which are related with operators belonging to $M$. In the second part, we extend, by a shorter…

We consider a type of long-range percolation problem on the positive integers, motivated by earlier work of others on the appearance of (in)finite words within a site percolation model. The main issue is whether a given infinite binary word…

We determine the smallest irreducible Brauer characters for finite quasi-simple orthogonal type groups in non-defining characteristic. Under some restrictions on the characteristic we also prove a gap result showing that the next larger…

Let $w$ be a finite word over the alphabet $\{0,1\}$. For any natural number $n$, let $s_w(n)$ denote the number of occurrence of $w$ in the binary expansion of $n$ as a scattered subsequence. We study the behavior of the partial sum…

We investigate the maximum length of a chain of subsemigroups in various classes of semigroups, such as the full transformation semigroups, the general linear semigroups, and the semigroups of order-preserving transformations of finite…
