We construct a Galois correspondence for finite purely inseparable field extensions $F/K$, generalising a classical result of Jacobson for extensions of exponent one (where $x^p \in K$ for all $x\in F$).
We demonstrate that Wan's alternate description of Dwork's unit root L-function in the rank one case may be modified to give a proof of meromorphy that is classical, eliminating the need to study sequences of uniform meromorphic functions.
The paper generalizes Lazarus Fuchs' theorem on the solutions of complex ordinary linear differential equations with regular singularities to the case of ground fields of arbitrary characteristic, giving a precise description of the shape…
In this paper we prove global class field theory using a purely geometric result. We first write in detail Deligne's proof to the unramified case of class field theory, including defining the required objects for the proof. Then we…
We prove that a refinement of Stark's Conjecture formulated by Rubin is true up to primes dividing the order of the Galois group, for finite, abelian extensions of function fields over finite fields. We also show that in the case of…
E. Maillet proved that the set of Liouville numbers is preserved under rational functions with rational coefficients. Based on this result, a problem posed by Kurt Mahler is to investigate whether there exist entire transcendental functions…
This note presents Galois theory for finite fields. It was written as a handout for the MAT401 course ``Polynomial equations and fields'' taught at the University of Toronto in Spring 2026. We use without proofs some basic properties of…
Using Schmidt's Subspace Theorem, this paper improves and extends an existing transcendence result for sequences of algebraic numbers. The theorems thus produced correspond to a central theorem on the irrationality of sequences due to…
We extend to the context of algebraic groups a classic result on extensions of abstract groups relating the set of isomorphism classes of extensions of $G$ by $H$ with that of extensions of $G$ by the center $Z$ of $H$. The proof should be…
The goal of this note is to generalize Thurston's Topological Characterization of Rational Functions to the setting when both the covering degree and the set of marked points are infinite. A relevant class of branched coverings are…
The main object of this paper is to study the generalized von mangoldt function using the L-additive function, which can help us give many result about the classical arithmetic function.
A proof is given of Rosenthal's \(\ell_1\) theorem.
We obtain the extended genus field of an abelian extension of a rational function field. We follow the definition of Angl\`es and Jaulent, which uses class field theory. First we show that the natural definition of extended genus field of a…
We present a proof of Roth's theorem that follows a slightly different structure to the usual proofs, in that there is not much iteration. Although our proof works using a type of density increment argument (which is typical of most proofs…
This article shows a very elementary and straightforward proof of the Implicit Function Theorem for differentiable maps $F(x,y)$ defined on a finite-dimensional Euclidean space. There are no hypothesis on the continuity of the partial…
In this note, we combine ideas of several previous proofs in order to obtain a quite short proof of Gr\"otzsch theorem.
We prove that the Dirichlet $L$-functions associated with Dirichlet characters in $\mathbb{F}_{q}[x]$ are universal. That is, given a modulus of high enough degree, $L$-functions with characters to this modulus can be found that approximate…
We present a simple short proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, without complex analysis and with a minimal use of topology. It can be taught in a first year calculus class.
We prove a generalization of Lopes's theorem, that is, of the converse of Brolin's theorem.
We develop an extension of valuations theorem for suitable extensions of idempotent semirings. As an application, we give a new proof for the classical case of fields. Along the way, we develop characteristic one analogues of some central…
