We compute the number of irreducible linear representations of self-similar branch groups, by expressing these numbers as the co\"efficients a_n of a Dirichlet series sum a_n n^{-s}. We show that this Dirichlet series has a positive…
We construct standard resolutions for analytic local modules on complex hypersurfaces using standard basis methods, with extensions to complete intersections. The algebraic version over arbitrary infinite fields is also suggested.…
We prove a general finiteness statement for the ordered abelian group of tropical functions on skeleta in Berkovich analytifications of algebraic varieties. Our approach consists in working in the framework of stable completions of…
In this article we study the representations of general linear groups which arise from their action on flag spaces. These representations can be decomposed into irreducibles by proving that the associated Hecke algebra is cellular. We give…
This survey describes some recent work, by the authors and others, on the existence of algebraic fibrations of group extensions, as well as the finiteness properties of their algebraic fibers, in the realm of both abstract and pro-$p$…
We construct supercharacter theories of finite unipotent groups in the orthogonal, symplectic and unitary types. Our method utilizes group actions in a manner analogous to that of Diaconis and Isaacs in their construction of supercharacters…
We establish a quantitative approximation formula of the Lyapunov exponent of a rational function of degree more than one over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$ that is complete with respect to a non-trivial and possibly…
We address a question from \cite{BKV25} regarding the finiteness of the homological $R$-isoperimetric function. Let $R$ be a subfield of the complex numbers $\mathbb{C}$ with the absolute value norm. We prove that for any group $G$ that…
In this article we define and study a zeta function $\zeta_G$ - similar to the Hasse-Weil zeta function - which enumerates absolutely irreducible representations over finite fields of a (profinite) group $G$. The zeta function converges on…
Motivated by some algorithmic problems, we give lower bounds on the size of the multiplicative groups containing rational function images of low-dimensional affine subspaces of a finite field~$\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ considered as a linear space…
In this paper, we investigate algebraic and topological properties of the Riordan groups over finite fields. These groups provide a new class of topologically finitely generated profinite groups with finite width. We also introduce,…
We study the conditions under which the monodromy group for Lauricella's hypergeometric function $F_C (a,b,c;x)$ is finite irreducible. We give the conditions in terms of the parameters $a,b,c$. In addition, we discuss the structure of the…
The enumeration of points on (or off) the union of some linear or affine subspaces over a finite field is dealt with in combinatorics via the characteristic polynomial and in algebraic geometry via the zeta function. We discuss the basic…
In the first part of this paper, we develop a general framework that permits a comparison between explicit class field theories for a family of rational function fields $\mathbb{F}_s(t)$ over arbitrary constant fields $\mathbb{F}_s$ and…
We define the adelic hypergeometric function of special Gaussian type by means of a tower of hypergeometric curves. This function takes values in an adelic completed group ring and interpolates all the hypergeometric functions of the same…
We study unirational algebraic varieties and the fields of rational functions on them. We show that after adding a finite number of variables some of these fields admit an infinitely transitive model. The latter is an algebraic variety with…
In this brief note, we consider p-adic unit roots or poles of L-functions of exponential sums defined over finite fields. In particular, we look at the number of unit roots or poles, and a congruence relation on the units. This raises a…
We give a criterion for maps on ultrametric spaces to be surjective and to preserve spherical completeness. We show how Hensel's Lemma and the multi-dimensional Hensel's Lemma follow from our result. We give an easy proof that the latter…
We prove various results connecting structural or algebraic properties of graphs and groups to conditions on their spaces of harmonic functions. In particular: we show that a group with a finitely supported symmetric measure has a…
This is an anthology of series involving rational, factorial, and power functions expressed in terms of special functions. New finite expansions involving quotient functions expressed in terms of the Hurwitz-Lerch zeta function are given.…
