Let $p:\mathbb{C} \rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ be a polynomial. The Gauss-Lucas theorem states that its critical points, $p'(z) = 0$, are contained in the convex hull of its roots. A recent quantitative version Totik shows that if almost all…

In an earlier preprint (math.AG/9810142) we gave an explicit description of the algebraic closure of the field of power series over a field of characteristic p, in terms of "generalized power series". In this paper, we give an analogous…

We prove an explicit formula for the $p$-adic valuation of the Legendre polynomials $P_n(x)$ evaluated at a prime $p$, and generalize an old conjecture of the third author. We also solve a problem proposed by Cigler in 2017.

The classical Gauss--Lucas theorem describes the location of the critical points of a polynomial. There is also a hyperbolic version, due to Walsh, in which the role of polynomials is played by finite Blaschke products on the unit disk. We…

The purpose of this article is to newly define the $p$-adic polylogarithm as an equivariant class in the cohomology of a certain infinite disjoint union of algebraic tori associated to a totally real field. We will then express the special…

We compute the Galois cohomology of any $p$-adic valuation field extension of a pre-perfectoid field. Moreover, we obtain a generalization and also a new proof of the classical results of Tate and Hyodo on discrete valuation fields, without…

This PhD deals with the notion of pseudo algebraically closed (PAC) extensions of fields. It develops a group-theoretic machinery, based on a generalization of embedding problems, to study these extensions. Perhaps the main result is that…

A cubic Galois polynomial is a cubic polynomial with rational coefficients that defines a cubic Galois field. Its discriminant is a full square and its roots $x_1,x_2,x_3$ (enumerated in some order) are real. There exists (and only one)…

This article discusses variants of Weber's class number problem in the spirit of arithmetic topology to connect the results of Sinnott--Kisilevsky and Kionke. Let $p$ be a prime number. We first prove the $p$-adic convergence of class…

In this paper we initiate a study on Gauss factorials of polynomials over finite fields, which are the analogues of Gauss factorials of positive integers.

The aim of this article is to prove a representation theorem for orthogonally additive polynomials in the spirit of the recent theorem on representation of orthogonally additive polynomials on Banach lattices but for the setting of Riesz…

This is a brief review article of various applications of non-Archimedean geometry, p-adic numbers and adeles in modern mathematical physics.

In 2007, B. Poonen (unpublished) studied the $p$--adic closure of a subgroup of rational points on a commutative algebraic group. More recently, J. Bella\"iche asked the same question for the special case of Abelian varieties. These…

In this paper, we consider an analogue of Catalan polynomials and give some identities of symmetry for those polynomials by using fermionic $p$-adic integrals on the ring of $p$-adic integers

The $L$-function of exponential sums associated to the generic polynomial of degree $d$ in $n$ variables over a finite field of characteristic $p$ is studied. A polygon called the Frobenius polygon of the generic polynomial of degree $d$ in…

We interpret and develop a theory of loop algebras as torsors (principal homogeneous spaces) over Laurent polynomial rings . As an application, we recover Kac's realization of affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras.

In this paper I present a kind of proof for classical Euclidean geometric problems which relies on both synthetic and analytic geometry. Using the elementary tools of polynomial algebra and multivariate calculus we manage to reduce the…

This article introduces a new kind of number systems on $p$-adic integers which is inspired by the well-known $3n+1$ conjecture of Lothar Collatz. A $p$-adic system is a piecewise function on $\mathbb{Z}_p$ which has branches for all…

In his notebooks, Gauss recorded various calculations with "infinite congruences". These infinite congruences are p-adic numbers; Gauss computes a square root of $5$ in the $11$-adic integers in order to find an $11$-adic approximation to a…

A survey of the theory of Kac polynomials for quivers and for curves. In particular, we describe the representation-theoretic meaning of Kac polynomials in terms of Hall algebras, and the geometric meaning of Kac polynomials in relation to…
