We study a conjecture called "linear rank conjecture" recently raised in (Tsang et al., FOCS'13), which asserts that if many linear constraints are required to lower the degree of a GF(2) polynomial, then the Fourier sparsity (i.e. number…

Let $q$ be an odd prime power. Let $f\in \mathbb{F}_q[x]$ be a polynomial having degree at least $2$, $a\in \mathbb{F}_q$, and denote by $f^n$ the $n$-th iteration of $f$. Let $\chi$ be the quadratic character of $\mathbb{F}_q$, and…

Let $G$ be a finite group with derived subgroup of rank $r$. We prove that $\gzz\leq |G'|^{2r}$. Motivated by the results of I. M. Isaacs in \cite{isa} we show that if $G$ is capable then $\gz\leq |G'|^{4r}$. This answers a question of L.…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic $0$, and let $k \geq 2$ be an integer. We prove that every $K$-linear bijection $f \colon K[X] \to K[X]$ strongly preserving the set of $k$-free polynomials (or the set of polynomials with a $k$-fold…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed complete non-Archimedean field, and let $K$ be a finitely generated field extension over $k$ with transcendence degree $1$. Equip $K$ a non-Archimedean norm extending the one on $k$, and let $\mathcal{K}$…

Let $k$ denote an algebraically closed field. We revisit a construction of the author of families of elliptic curves over the rational function field $k(t)$. Combining a combinatorial analysis with a rank formula of Ulmer we prove that, for…

In this paper, we prove a generalization of the Schmidt's subspace theorem for polynomials of higher degree in subgeneral position with respect to a projective variety over a number field. Our result improves and generalizes the previous…

It is known from work by H. Abels and P. Abramenko that for a classical Fq-group G of rank n the arithemetic lattice G(Fq[t]) of Fq[t]-rational points is of type Fn-1 provided that q is large enough. We show that the statement is true…

In this paper we give necessary and sufficient trace conditions for an n by n matrix over any commutative and associative ring with unity to be a sum of k-th powers of matrices over that ring, where n,k are integers greater equal 2. We…

We give a short proof that the quartic polynomial $f(z)=\frac 1 6 z^{4} + \frac 2 3 z^{3} + \frac 7 6 z^{2} + z$ is univalent.

We investigate deformations of skew group algebras arising from the action of the symmetric group on polynomial rings over fields of arbitrary characteristic. Over the real or complex numbers, Lusztig's graded affine Hecke algebra and…

We classify Artin-Schreier extensions of valued fields with non-trivial defect according to whether they are connected with purely inseparable extensions with non-trivial defect, or not. We use this classification to show that in positive…

Notions of rank abound in the literature on tensor decomposition. We prove that strength, recently introduced for homogeneous polynomials by Ananyan-Hochster in their proof of Stillman's conjecture and generalised here to other tensors, is…

Let $G$ be a semisimple linear algebraic group over a field $k$ and let $G^+(k)$ be the subgroup generated by the subgroups $R_u(Q)(k)$, where $Q$ ranges over all the minimal $k$-parabolic subgroups $Q$ of $G$. We prove that if $G^+(k)$ is…

For any quartic number field $K$ generated by a root $\alpha$ of an irreducible trinomial of type $x^4+ax^2+b\in Z[x]$, we characterize when $Z[\alpha]$ is integrally closed. Also for $p=2,3$, we explicitly give the highest power of $p$…

We establish a version "over the ring" of the celebrated Hilbert Irreducibility Theorem. Given finitely many polynomials in $k+n$ variables, with coefficients in $\mathbb Z$, of positive degree in the last $n$ variables, we show that if…

Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a field. We show that given any $n$th degree monic polynomial $q(x)\in \mathbb{F}[x]$ and any matrix $A\in\mathbb{M}_n(\mathbb{F})$ whose trace coincides with the trace of $q(x)$ and consisting in its main diagonal of…

If, for a subset S of Z^k, we compare the conditions of being parametrizable (a) by a single k-tuple of polynomials with integer coefficients, (b) by a single k-tuple of integer-valued polynomials and, (c) by finitely many k-tuples of…

We define the notion of a Lie superalgebra over a field $k$ of characteristic $2$ which unifies the two pre-existing ones - $\mathbb{Z}/2$-graded Lie algebras with a squaring map and Lie algebras in the Verlinde category ${\rm Ver}_4^+(k)$,…

Let $K$ be a field of positive characteristic with no algebraically closed subfield. Let $F$ be a function field over $K$ and $t \in F$ transcendental over $K$. Refining a result of Eisentr{\"a}ger and Shlapentokh, we show that there is no…
