We begin by considering faithful matrix representations of elementary abelian groups in prime characteristic. The representations considered are seen to be determined up to change of bases by a single number. Studying this number leads to a…
This paper investigates the transformation of determinants of pairs of Fredholm operators with trace class commutators. We study the extent to which the functional calculus commutes, modulo operator ideals, with projections in a finitely…
We calculate the matrix of the Frobenius map on the middle dimensional cohomology of the one parameter family that is related by mirror symmetry to the family of all quintic threefolds.
We carry over to a quite general noncommutative setting some of the basic tools of differential geometry, using from the very beginning the setting of convenient vector spaces developed by Froelicher and Kriegl, which allows to carry all of…
We consider certain quotient algebras of tensor algebras of bimodules $M$ over a finite-dimensional algebra $R$, and we investigate Frobenius type properties of such algebras. Our main interest is in the case where $M=R^*$, the linear dual…
It is known that connected translation invariant $n$-dimensional noncommutative differentials $d x^i$ on the algebra $k[x^1,\cdots,x^n]$ of polynomials in $n$-variables over a field $k$ are classified by commutative algebras $V$ on the…
This paper is concerned with the computation of representation matrices for the action of Frobenius to the cohomology groups of algebraic varieties. Specifically we shall give an algorithm to compute the matrices for arbitrary algebraic…
We show that for every second order Fuchsian linear differential equation $E$ with $n$ singularities of which $n-3$ are apparent there exists a hypergeometric equation $H$ and a linear differential operator with polynomial coefficients…
This article is devoted to the study of several algebras which are related to symmetric functions, and which admit linear bases labelled by various combinatorial objects: permutations (free quasi-symmetric functions), standard Young…
We consider Weil sums of binomials of the form $W_{F,d}(a)=\sum_{x \in F} \psi(x^d-a x)$, where $F$ is a finite field, $\psi\colon F\to {\mathbb C}$ is the canonical additive character, $\gcd(d,|F^\times|)=1$, and $a \in F^\times$. If we…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field with $q=p^n$ elements. In this paper, we study the number of solutions of equations of the form $a_1 x_1^{d_1}+\dots+a_s x_s^{d_s}=b$ with $x_i\in\mathbb{F}_{p^{t_i}}$, where $b\in\mathbb{F}_q$ and…
From the literature it is known that orthogonal polynomials as the Jacobi polynomials can be expressed by hypergeometric series. In this paper, the authors derive several contiguous relations for terminating multivariate hypergeometric…
We consider the moduli space $\mathcal{R}_n$ of pairs of monic, degree $n$ polynomials whose resultant equals $1$. We relate the topology of these algebraic varieties to their geometry and arithmetic. In particular, we compute their…
We consider the convolution equation $F*X=B$, where $F\in\mathbb{R}^{3\times 3}$ and $B\in\mathbb{R}^{m\times n}$ are given, and $X\in\mathbb{R}^{m\times n}$ is to be determined. The convolution equation can be regarded as a linear system…
Let f be a polynomial of degree n in ZZ[x_1,..,x_n], typically reducible but squarefree. From the hypersurface {f=0} one may construct a number of other subschemes {Y} by extracting prime components, taking intersections, taking unions, and…
Root systems are sets with remarkable symmetries and therefore they appear in many situations in mathematics. Among others, denominator formulae of root systems are very beautiful and mysterious equations which have several meanings from a…
By exploring the relations among functional equations, harmonic analysis and representation theory, we give a unified and very accessible approach to solve three important functional equations -- the d'Alembert equation, the Wilson…
We study second-order modular differential equations whose solutions transform equivariantly under the modular group. In the reducible case, we construct all such solutions using an explicit ansatz involving Eisenstein series and the…
Recent classification of $\frac{3}{2}$-transitive permutation groups leaves us with six families of groups which are $2$-transitive, or Frobenius, or one-dimensional affine, or the affine solvable subgroups of $ \mathrm{AGL}(2, q)$, or…
In this paper we use a formula for the $n$-th power of a $2\times2$ matrix $A$ (in terms of the entries in $A$) to derive various combinatorial identities. Three examples of our results follow. 1) We show that if $m$ and $n$ are positive…
