A countable group $G$ is said to be \emph{matricial field} (MF) if it admits a strongly converging sequence of approximate homomorphisms into matrices; i.e, the norms of polynomials converge to those in the left regular representation. $G$…

Let $\phi$ be a Drinfeld $A$-module of finite residual characteristic $\bar{\mathfrak{p}}$ over a local field $K$. We study the action of the inertia group of $K$ on a modified adelic Tate module $\smash{T^\circ_{\text{ad}}}(\phi)$ which…

This paper is a step in our program for proving the Piece-Birkhoff Conjecture for regular rings of any dimension (this would contain, in particular, the classical Pierce-Birkhoff conjecture which deals with polynomial rings over a real…

We prove explicit rationality-results for Asai- $L$-functions, $L^S(s,\Pi',{\rm As}^\pm)$, and Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions, $L^S(s,\Pi\times\Pi')$, over arbitrary CM-fields $F$, relating critical values to explicit powers of $(2\pi i)$.…

This paper is concerned with the model-theoretic study of pairs $(K,F)$ where $K$ is an algebraically closed field and $F$ is a distinguished subfield of $K$ allowing extra structure. We study the basic model-theoretic properties of those…

Let $F$ be a non-Archimedean locally compact field, let $G$ be a split connected reductive group over $F$. For a parabolic subgroup $Q\subset G$ and a ring $L$ we consider the $G$-representation on the $L$-module$$(*)\quad\quad\quad\quad…

We define, for any group $G$, finite approximations ; with this tool, we give a new presentation of the profinite completion $\hat{\pi} : G \to \hat{G}$ of an abtract group $G$. We then prove the following theorem : if $k$ is a finite prime…

This article is divided in two parts. In the first part we endow a certain ring of ``Drinfeld quasi-modular forms'' for $\GL_2(\FF_q[T])$ (where $q$ is a power of a prime) with a system of "divided derivatives" (or hyperderivations). This…

In this article we overview those aspects of the theory of affine semigroups and their algebras that have been relevant for our own research, and pose several open problems. Answers to these problems would contribute substantially to the…

An elliptic curve $E$ defined over a $p$-adic field $K$ with a $p$-isogeny $\phi:E\rightarrow E^\prime$ comes equipped with an invariant $\alpha_{\phi/K}$ that measures the valuation of the leading term of the formal group homomorphism…

Let $q$ be a prime power and $F=\mathbb{F}_q(T)$ be the rational function field over $\mathbb{F}_q$, the field with $q$ elements. Let $\phi$ be a Drinfeld module over $F$ and $\mathfrak{p}$ be a non-zero prime ideal of $A:=\mathbb{F}_q[T]$.…

In this paper we derive necessary and sufficient homological and cohomological conditions for profinite groups and modules to be of type $\operatorname{FP}_n$ over a profinite ring $R$, analogous to the Bieri-Eckmann criteria for abstract…

We start the general structure theory of not necessarily semisimple finite tensor categories, generalizing the results in the semisimple case (i.e. for fusion categories), obtained recently in our joint work with D.Nikshych. In particular,…

We introduce and study an abstract class of semirings, which we call exact semirings, defined by a Hahn-Banach-type separation property on modules. Our motivation comes from the tropical semiring, and in particular a desire to understand…

Let $\mathcal{G}=\mathrm{Spec}(A)$ be a finite and flat group scheme over the ring of algebraic integers $R$ of a number field $K$ and suppose that the generic fiber of $\mathcal{G}$ is the constant group scheme over $K$ for a finite group…

We give an explicit algebraic description, based on prismatic cohomology, of the algebraic K-groups of rings of the form $O_K/I$ where $K$ is a p-adic field and $I$ is a non-trivial ideal in the ring of integers $O_K$; this class includes…

The goal of this work is twofold: (i) to provide a detailed analysis of some categories of inductive graded ring - a concept introduced in [DM98] in order to provide a solution of Marshall's signature conjecture in the algebraic theory of…

For a given algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$ we consider the set ${\mathcal C}_k$, of graded isomorphism classes of {\em standard graded pairs} $(R, I)$, where $R$ is a standard graded ring over the field and $I$ is a…

Let $\Phi $ be a Drinfeld $\mathbf{F}_{q}[T]$-module of rank 2, over a finite field $L$, a finite extension of $n$ degrees of a finite field with $q$ elements $\mathbf{F}_{q}$. Let $m$ be the extension degrees of $ L$ over the field…

We determine all isomorphism classes of hyperfields of a given finite order which can be obtained as quotients of finite fields of sufficiently large order. Using this result, we determine which hyperfields of order at most 4 are quotients…
