We establish the \emph{inverse conjecture for the Gowers norm over finite fields}, which asserts (roughly speaking) that if a bounded function $f: V \to \C$ on a finite-dimensional vector space $V$ over a finite field $\F$ has large Gowers…
I outline a series of results obtained in collaboration with A. Waldron on the properties of massive higher (s>1) spin fields in cosmological, constant curvature, backgrounds and the resulting unexpected qualitative effects on their degrees…
Using class field theory, we prove a restriction on the intersection of the maximal abelian extensions associated with different number fields. This restriction is then used to improve a result of Rosen and Silverman about the linear…
We study the entanglement entropy of a massive scalar field in the background of the Einstein universe. We determine numerically the structure of the UV-divergent terms. We study analytically the IR term that originates in the long-range…
We resolve the strong Elementary Equivalence versus Isomorphism Problem for finitely generated fields. That is, we show that for every field in this class there is a first-order sentence which characterizes this field within the class up to…
We study the strong-field limit of a theory involving a quantum scalar field coupled to a vector background, which can be either an electromagnetic field or a non-gauge field coupled through the first derivative term. Our approach consists…
For an arbitrary valued field $(K,v)$ and a given extension $v(K^*)\hookrightarrow\Lambda$ of ordered groups, we analyze the structure of the tree formed by all $\Lambda$-valued extensions of $v$ to the polynomial ring $K[x]$. As an…
We continue our earlier investigation of dp-finite fields. We show that the "heavy sets" of [6] are exactly the sets of full dp-rank. As a consequence, full dp-rank is a definable property in definable families of sets. If $I$ is the group…
In this paper, we characterize NIP henselian valued fields modulo the theory of their residue field, both in an algebraic and in a model-theoretic way. Assuming the conjecture that every infinite NIP field is either separably closed, real…
In analogy to valued fields, we study model-theoretic properties of valued vector spaces with variable base field by proving transfer principles down to the skeleton and down to the value set and base field. For instance, we give a formula…
The defect of valued field extensions is a major obstacle in open problems in resolution of singularities and in the model theory of valued fields, whenever positive characteristic is involved. We continue the detailed study of defect…
The present article surveys surreal numbers with an informal approach, from their very first definition to their structure of universal real closed analytic and exponential field. Then we proceed to give an overview of the recent…
We study real hyperfields, focusing in particular on those that are finite with cyclic positive cones. All real hyperfields have characteristic zero, although they can still be classified using the C-characteristic, an invariant that…
We interpret superfields in a functorial formalism that explains the properties that are assumed for them in the physical applications. The starting point of this research was the need to understand in a sound mathematical framework some…
A strong invariance principle is established for random fields which satisfy dependence conditions more general than positive or negative association. We use the approach of Cs\"{o}rg\H{o} and R\'{e}v\'{e}sz applied recently by Balan to…
Some reverses of the continuous triangle inequality for Bochner integral of vector-valued functions in complex Hilbert spaces are given. Applications for complex-valued functions are provided as well.
In connection with Eisenstein series for the principal congruence subgroup $\Gamma(n)$, Hecke introduced certain numbers, of which he said that they are rational and cumbersome to calculate. We show, however, that these numbers are…
Let $K$ be a Henselian, non-trivially valued field with separated analytic structure. We prove the existence of definable retractions onto an arbitrary closed definable subset of $K^{n}$. Hence directly follow definable non-Archimedean…
We give criteria on an inverse system of finite groups that ensure the limit is just infinite or hereditarily just infinite. More significantly, these criteria are 'universal' in that all (hereditarily) just infinite profinite groups arise…
We study the definability of convex valuations on ordered fields, with a particular focus on the distinguished subclass of henselian valuations. In the setting of ordered fields, one can consider definability both in the language of rings…
