Let $K$ be a one-variable function field over a field of constants of characteristic 0. Let $R$ be a holomorphy subring of $K$, not equal to $K$. We prove the following undecidability results for $R$: If $K$ is recursive, then Hilbert's…

We study the $n$-variable Boolean functions which keep their algebraic degree unchanged when they are restricted to any (affine) hyperplane, or more generally to any affine space of a given co-dimension $k$. For cryptographic applications…

We say that a plane set $A$ is {\it graph-null,} if there is a function $g\colon [0,1] \to \mathbb{R}$ such that $\lambda_2 (A+{\rm graph}\, g)=0$. A plane set $A$ has the {\it translational Kakeya property} if, for every translated copy…

Let $\Lambda$ be a set and $\mathbb{F}$ a field. Suppose that $K,Q:\Lambda^2\to\mathbb{F}$ are two functions such that for any $n\in\mathbb{N}$ and $x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n\in\Lambda$, the determinants of matrices $(K(x_i,x_j))_{1\leq i,j\leq…

The main result: for every sequence $\{\omega_m\}_{m=1}^\infty$ of positive numbers ($\omega_m>0)$ there exists an isometric embedding $F:[0,1]\to L_1[0,1]$ which is nowhere differentiable, but for each $t\in [0,1]$ the image $F_t$ is…

In this paper, we show that the Jacobian conjecture holds for gradient maps in dimension n <= 3 over a field K of characteristic zero. We do this by extending the following result for n <= 2 by F. Dillen to n <= 3: if f is a polynomial of…

In this article we show that every geodesic is rank one and the Hessian of Busemann functions is positive definite for a harmonic Damek-Ricci space, a two step solvable Lie group with a left invariant metric. Moreover, the eigenspace of the…

Following Chaudhuri, Sankaranarayanan, and Vardi, we say that a function $f:[0,1] \to [0,1]$ is $r$-regular if there is a B\"{u}chi automaton that accepts precisely the set of base $r \in \mathbb{N}$ representations of elements of the graph…

The derived functors $\lim^n$ of the inverse limit find many applications in algebra and topology. In particular, the vanishing of certain derived limits $\lim^n \mathbf{A}[H]$, parametrized by an abelian group $H$, has implications for…

Some properties of $m$-density points and density-degree functions are studied. Moreover the following main results are provided: \vskip2mm \begin{itemize} \item {\it Let $\lambda$ be a continuous differential form of degree $h$ in…

The existence and nonexistence of $\lambda$-harmonic functions in unbounded domains of $\mathbb{H}^n$ are investigated. We prove that if the $(n-1)/2$ Hausdorff measure of the asymptotic boundary of a domain $\Omega$ is zero, then there is…

For any discrete, torsion-free subgroup $\Gamma$ of $\mathrm{Sp}(n,1)$ (resp.\ $\mathrm{F}_4^{-20}$) with no parabolic elements, we prove that $H_{4n-1}(\Gamma;V)=0$ (resp.\ $H_i(\Gamma;V)=0$ for $i=13,14,15$) for any $\Gamma$--module $V$.…

We consider the finest grading of the algebra of regular functions of a trinomial variety. An explicit description of locally nilpotent derivations that are homogeneous with respect to this grading is obtained.

Boolean functions with strong cryptographic properties, such as high nonlinearity and algebraic degree, are important for the security of stream and block ciphers. These functions can be designed using algebraic constructions or…

The four types of homogeneity -- additive, multiplicative, exponential, and logarithmic -- are generalized as transformations describing how a function $f$ changes under scaling or shifting of its arguments. These generalized homogeneity…

We study the exterior Dirichlet problem for the homogeneous $k$-Hessian equation. The prescribed asymptotic behavior at infinity of the solution is zero if $k<\frac{n}{2}$, it is $\log|x|+O(1)$ if $k=\frac{n}{2}$ and it is…

We study the limit behaviour of a sequence of non-convex, vectorial, random integral functionals, defined on $W^{1,1}$, whose integrands satisfy degenerate linear growth conditions. These involve suitable random, scale-dependent…

We solve an open problem concerning the well-known $(\alpha,\beta,\gamma)$-derivations, proving that the spaces of $(\alpha,1,0)$-derivations of any Lie algebra are isomorphic ($\alpha\neq 0,1$). Also, we prove sharp bounds for the…

We prove that for certain classes of graded algebras (Koszul, local, cellular), infinite global dimension implies that Hochschild homology does not vanish in high degrees, provided the characteristic of the ground field is zero. Our proof…

Let $(X,\omega)$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold of dimension $n$ and fix $1\leq m\leq n$. We prove that the total mass of the complex Hessian measure of $\omega$-$m$-subharmonic functions is non-decreasing with respect to the singularity…
