We determine the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of a weighted Leavitt path algebra $L_K(E,w)$ where $K$ is a field and $(E,w)$ a finite weighted graph. Further we show that a finite-dimensional weighted Leavitt path algebra over a field $K$ is…

Let V be a rank one discrete valuation ring (DVR) on a field F and let L/F be a finite separable algebraic field extension with [L:F] = m. The integral closure of V in L is a Dedekind domain that encodes the following invariants: (i) the…

We study model theoretic properties of valued fields (equipped with a real-valued multiplicative valuation), viewed as metric structures in continuous first order logic. For technical reasons we prefer to consider not the valued field…

We classify cuts in (totally) ordered abelian groups $\g$ and compute the coinitiality and cofinality of all cuts in case $\g$ is divisible, in terms of data intrinsically associated to the invariance group of the cut. We relate cuts with…

Let $\cac$ be a smooth projective curve defined over a number field $k$, $A/k(\cac)$ an abelian variety and $(\tau,B)$ the $k(\cac)/k$-trace of $A$. We estimate how the rank of $A(k(\cac))/\tau B(k)$ varies when we take a finite cover…

We define a generalization of virtual links to arbitrary dimensions by extending the geometric definition due to Carter et al. We show that many homotopy type invariants for classical links extend to invariants of virtual links. We also…

Extension problems for polynomial valuations on different cones of convex functions are investigated. It is shown that for the classes of functions under consideration, the extension problem reduces to a simple geometric obstruction on the…

Suppose that $k$ is an arbitrary field. Consider the field $k((x_1,...,x_n))$, which is the quotient field of the ring $k[[x_1,...,x_n]]$ of formal power series in the variables $x_1,...,x_n$, with coefficients in $k$. Suppose that $\sigma$…

There are several equivalent characterizations of the valuation rank of an ordered or valued field. In this paper, we extend the theory to the case of an ordered or valued {\it difference} field (that is, ordered or valued field endowed…

This paper examines the $w$-weight enumerators of weights $w$ with maximal symmetry over finite chain rings and matrix rings over finite fields. In many cases, including the homogeneous weight, the MacWilliams identities for $w$-weight…

Motivated by a recent paper of Liu and Ma, we describe a number of general WP-Bailey chains. We show that many of the existing WP-Bailey chains (or branches of the WP-Bailey tree), including chains found by Andrews, Warnaar and Liu and Ma,…

Expansions of abelian categories are introduced. These are certain functors between abelian categories and provide a tool for induction/reduction arguments. Expansions arise naturally in the study of coherent sheaves on weighted projective…

We describe a presentation for the augmented fundamental rack of a link in the lens space $L(p,1)$. Using this presentation, the (enhanced) counting rack invariants that have been defined for the classical links are applied to the links in…

This paper shows that for K a local field, k a subfield of K and X a variety over k, X is complete if and only if for every finite field extension K' of K, X(K') is compact in its strong topology.

For an arbitrary field $K$ and $K$-variety $V$, we introduce the \'etale-open topology on the set $V(K)$ of $K$-points of $V$. This topology agrees with the Zariski topology, Euclidean topology, or valuation topology when $K$ is separably…

We obtain a complete classification of complex-valued sequences which are both multiplicative and automatic.

Let $\mathcal{R}$ be a finite valuation ring of order $q^r$. In this paper we generalize and improve several well-known results, which were studied over finite fields $\mathbb{F}_q$ and finite cyclic rings $\mathbb{Z}/p^r\mathbb{Z}$, in the…

Let $r$ and $n$ be positive integers such that $r<n$, and $\mathbb{K}$ be an arbitrary field. In a recent work, we have determined the maximal dimension for a linear subspace of $n$ by $n$ symmetric matrices with rank less than or equal to…

We study the interplay between canonical heights and endomorphisms of an abelian variety $A$ over a number field $k$. In particular we show that whenever the ring of endomorphisms defined over $k$ is strictly larger than $\Z$ there will be…

The notion of the higher rank numerical range $\Lambda_{k}(L(\lambda))$ for matrix polynomials $L(\lambda)=A_{m}\lambda^{m}+...+A_{1}\lambda+A_{0}$ is introduced here and some fundamental geometrical properties are investigated. Further,…
