We study the class of polynomials that map a local field (i.e., the completion of a number field at a non-Archimedean place) into the subset of its $p$-th powers, where $p$ is the residue characteristic of the field in question. We present…
Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and let $R = K[X_1,\ldots,X_n]$. Let $I$ be an ideal in $R$. Let $A_n(K)$ be the $n^{th}$ Weyl algebra over $K$. By a result of Lyubeznik, the local cohomology modules…
We show that, for a pseudo-proper smooth noetherian formal scheme $\mathfrak{X}$ over a positive characteristic $p$ field, its truncated De Rham complex up to the characteristic $p$ is decomposable. Moreover, if the dimension of…
Over any smooth algebraic variety over a $p$-adic local field $k$, we construct the de Rham comparison isomorphisms for the \'etale cohomology with partial compact support of de Rham $\mathbb Z_p$-local systems, and show that they are…
We settle an old question about the existence of certain "sums-of-squares" formulas over a field F (which are the simplest examples of composition formulas for quadratic forms). A classical theorem says that if such a formula exists over a…
Following de Loera and Santos, the P\'olya exponent of a $n$-ary real form (i.e. a homogeneous polynomial in $n$ variables with real coefficients) $f$ is the infimum of the upward closed set of nonnegative integers $m$ such that $(x_1 +…
We extend previous results about Putinar's Positivstellensatz for cylinders of type $S \times {\mathbb R}$ to sets of type $S \times {\mathbb R}^r$ in some special cases taking into account $r$ and the degree of the polynomial with respect…
Given a scheme in characteristic p together with a lifting modulo p^2, we construct a functor from a category of suitably nilpotent modules with connection to the category of Higgs modules. We use this functor to generalize the…
We start with a curve over an algebraically closed ground field of positive characteristic $p>0$. By using specialization techniques, under suitable natural coprimality conditions, we prove a cohomological Simpson Correspondence between the…
Let R be a ring of polynomials in a finite number of variables over a perfect field k of characteristic p>0 and let F:R\to R be the Frobenius map of R, i.e. F(r)=r^p. We explicitly describe an R-module isomorphism Hom_R(F_*(M),N)\cong…
Contrary to the expected behavior, we show the existence of non-invertible deformations of Lie algebras which can generate invariants for the coadjoint representation, as well as delete cohomology with values in the trivial or adjoint…
Linear differential equations with polynomial coefficients over a field $K$ of positive characteristic $p$ with local exponents in the prime field have a basis of solutions in the differential extension $\mathcal{R}_p=K(z_1, z_2,…
We study the relative algebraic closure $K$ of $\bar{\mathbb{F}}_p((t))$ inside $\bar{\mathbb{F}}((t^{\mathbb{Q}}))$. We show that the supports of elements in $K$ have order type strictly less than $\omega^\omega$. We also recover a theorem…
The cohomology of the degree-$n$ general linear group over a finite field of characteristic $p$, with coefficients also in characteristic $p$, remains poorly understood. For example, the lowest degree previously known to contain nontrivial…
Existing mathematical results are applied to the problem of classifying closed $p$-forms which are locally constructed from Lorentzian metrics on an $n$-dimensional orientable manifold $M$ ($0<p<n$). We show that the only closed, non-exact…
Almkvist proved that for a commutative ring A the characteristic polynomial of an endomorphism \alpha:P \to P of a finitely generated projective A-module determines (P,\alpha) up to extensions. For a non-commutative ring A the generalized…
Given a prime number $p$, a field $F$ with $\operatorname{char}(F)=p$ and a positive integer $n$, we study the class-preserving modifications of Kato-Milne classes of decomposable differential forms. These modifications demonstrate a…
Let $R$ be a local, Gorenstein ring with algebraically closed residue field $k$ of characteristic 0 and let $P_R(z):=\sum_{p=0}^{\infty}\dim_k(\tor_p^R(k,k))z^p$ be its Poincar\'e series. We compute $P_R$ when $R$ belongs to a particular…
We consider differential modules over real and p-adic differential fields such that their field of constants is real closed (respectively p-adically closed). Using Deligne's work on Tannakian categories and a result of Serre on Galois…
We construct N-complexes of non completely antisymmetric irreducible tensor fields on $\mathbb R^D$ generalizing thereby the usual complex (N=2) of differential forms. These complexes arise naturally in the description of higher spin gauge…
