Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve defined over the field of complex numbers. Let $E$ be a vector bundle on $C$, and fix an integer $d\geqslant 1$. Let $\mc Q:={\rm Quot}(E,d)$ be the Quot Scheme which parameterizes all torsion quotients…
We review the observational information on the constancy of the fine structure constant alpha. We find that small improvements on the measurement of ^{187}Re lifetime can provide significant progress in exploring the range of variability…
Using Serre's adelic interpretation of cohomology, we develop a `differential and integral calculus' on an algebraic curve X over an algebraically closed filed k of constants of characteristic zero, define algebraic analogs of additive…
It is shown that a valuation of residue characteristic different from $2$ and $3$ on a field $E$ has at most one extension to the function field of an elliptic curve over $E$, for which the residue field extension is transcendental but not…
An elementary, at the undergraduate level derivation is given of precise upper bounds of the number of various RNA secondary structures. The method works when the generating function has multiple singularities at the circle of convergence,…
We consider a tower of function fields F_0 < F_1 < ... over a finite field such that every place of every F_i ramified in the tower and the sequence genus(F_i)/[F_i:F_0] has a finite limit. We also construct a tower in which every place…
The Basel problem, solved by Leonhard Euler in 1734, asks to resolve $\zeta(2)$, the sum of the reciprocals of the squares of the natural numbers, i.e. the sum of the infinite series: \begin{equation}…
We propose a (limited) solution to the problem of constructing stream values defined by recursive equations that do not respect the guardedness condition. The guardedness condition is imposed on definitions of corecursive functions in Coq,…
Given a positively graded commutative coherent ring A which is finitely generated as an A_0-algebra, a bijection between the tensor Serre subcategories of qgr A and the set of all subsets Y\subseteq Proj A of the form…
The aim of this paper (Part III) is formulating GR as a scalar field theory. The basic structural elements of it are a generating function, a generalized density and a generalized temperature. One of the axioms of this theory is a…
The concept of additive basis has been investigated in the literature for several mathematicians which works with number theorem. Recently, the concept of finitely stable additive basis was introduced. In this note we provide a…
We discuss properties of recursive schemas related to McCarthy's ``91 function'' and to Takeuchi's triple recursion. Several theorems are proposed as interesting candidates for machine verification, and some intriguing open questions are…
In this paper, we investigate properties of countable stationary towers. We derive the regularity properties of sets of reals in $L(\mathbf R)$ from some properties of countable stationary towers without explicit use of strong large…
This set of lecture notes is an expanded version of a mini-course the author gave in March of 2025 for the program ``Representation Theory \& Noncommutative Geometry" at the Institut Henri Poincar\'e, Paris. The goal is to provide a survey…
For an abelian category and a distinguished object with a graded endomorphism ring a necessary and sufficient criterion is given so that the category is equivalent to the abelian quotient of the category of finitely presented graded modules…
We study locally Cohen-Macaulay curves of low degree in the Segre threefold with Picard number three and investigate the irreducible and connected components respectively of the Hilbert scheme of them. We also discuss the irreducibility of…
These lecture notes are written for a PhD mini-course I gave at the CIRM in Luminy in 2019. Their intended purpose was to present, in the context of smooth toric varieties, a relatively self-contained and elementary introduction to the…
Certain towers of function fields with complete splitting of rational places at each stage are constructed. Also, families oof towers with positive N/g ratios are described.
The Farkas lemma is proved and applied to obtain a structure theorem for polyhedra. These notes are based on a talk in the New York Number Theory Seminar on October, 20, 2022.
This article is a short introduction to the theory of the groups of points of elliptic curves over finite fields. It is concerned with the elementary theory and practice of elliptic curves cryptography, the new generation of public key…
