We review the indefinite sublinear elliptic equation $-\Delta u=a(x)u^{q}$ in a smooth bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{N}$, with Dirichlet or Neumann homogeneous boundary conditions. Here $0<q<1$ and $a$ is continuous and changes…

We give a positive answer to a question of J. Doyle and J. Silverman about fields of definition of dynamical systems on $\mathbb{P}^{n}$. We prove that, for fixed $n$, there exists a constant $C_{n}$ such that every dynamical system…

We consider four-dimensional general relativity with a positive cosmological constant, $\Lambda$, in the presence of a boundary, $\Gamma$, of finite spatial size. The boundary is located near a cosmological event horizon, and is subject to…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over a number field $k$ and $\ell$ a prime integer. When $E$ has at least one $k$-rational point of exact order $\ell$, we derive a uniform upper bound $\exp(C \log B / \log \log B)$ for the number of…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote the finite field of odd characteristic $p$ with $q$ elements ($q=p^{n},n\in \mathbb{N} $) and $\mathbb{F}_q^*$ represent the nonzero elements of $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. In this paper, by using the Smith normal form we…

We propose a sharpened version of Dynamical Cobordism, where the physical structure $\xi$ of the theory in question determines an allowed range $R^\xi$ for the critical exponent $\delta$. We interpret a singularity with $\delta \in R^\xi$…

We revisit, qualify, and objectively resolve the seemingly controversial question about what is the number of dimensional fundamental constants in Nature. For this purpose, we only assume that all we can directly measure are space and time…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. Let $F$ be the function field of a $p$-adic curve. Let $A$ be a central simple algebra of period 2 over $F$ with an involution $\sigma$. There are known upper bounds for the $u$-invariant of hermitian forms over…

For a nondegenerate irreducible curve $C$ of degree $d$ in ${\Bbb P}^r$ over ${\Bbb F}_q$ with $r \geq 3$, we prove that the number $N_q(C)$ of ${\Bbb F}_q$-points of $C$ satisfies the inequality $N_q(C) \leq (d-1)q +1$, which is known as…

We study integer coefficient polynomials of fixed degree and maximum height $H$, that are irreducible by Dumas's criterion. We call such polynomials Dumas polynomials. We derive upper bounds on the number of Dumas polynomials, as $H$…

We determine the maximum number of rational points on a curve over $\mathbb{F}_2$ with fixed gonality and small genus.

In this paper we compute the gonality over Q of the modular curve X1(N) for all N <= 40 and give upper bounds for each N <= 250. This allows us to determine all N for which X1(N) has infinitely points of degree <= 8. We conjecture that the…

Let G/Q be an homogeneous variety embedded in a projective space P thanks to an ample line bundle L. Take a projective space containing P and form the cone X over G/Q, we call this a cone over an homogeneous variety. Let $\alpha$ a class of…

In this paper I prove that for any prime $p$ there is a constant $C_p>0$ such that for any $n>0$ and for any $p$-power $q$ there is a smooth, projective, absolutely irreducible curve over $\mathbb{F}_q$ of genus $g\leq C_p q^n$ without…

We consider point sets in the $m$-dimensional affine space $\mathbb{F}_q^m$ where each squared Euclidean distance of two points is a square in $\mathbb{F}_q$. It turns out that the situation in $\mathbb{F}_q^m$ is rather similar to the one…
