Let $R=K[[x_1,...,x_s]]$ be the ring of formal power series with maximal ideal $\mathfrak{m}$ over a field $K$ of arbitrary characteristic. On the ring $M_{m,n}$ of $m\times n$ matrices $A$ with entries in $R$ we consider several…

We establish new estimates on short character sums for arbitrary composite moduli with small prime factors. Our main result improves on the Graham-Ringrose bound for square free moduli and also on the result due to Gallagher and Iwaniec…

Let $K$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$, and let $f_1(z),\ldots, f_m(z) \in K[[z]]$ such that, for every $1 \leq i \leq m$, $f_i(z)$ is a solution of a differential operator $\mathcal{L}_i \in E_p[d/dz]$, where $E_p$ is the field of…

We consider the set of power functions defined on the set of positive real number, and their linear combinations. After recalling some properties of the gamma function, we give two general definitions of derivatives of positive and negative…

In this note we introduce and study basic properties of two types of modules over a commutative noetherian ring $R$ of positive prime characteristic. The first is the category of modules of finite $F$-type. These objects include reflexive…

Let $q$ be a power of $2$ and let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements. For a positive integer $n$, the polynomial $X^n-1\in\mathbb{F}_q[X]$ is called $3$-sparse over $\mathbb{F}_q$ if every monic irreducible factor of…

Given a group word $w$ in $k$ variables, a finite group $G$ and $g\in G$, we consider the number $N_{w,G}(g)$ of $k$-tuples $g_1,\dots ,g_k$ of elements of $G$ such that $w(g_1,\dots ,g_k)=g$. In this work we study the functions $N_{w,G}$…

In this article, we introduce and study the concept of the exponent of a cyclic code over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q.$ We give a relation between the exponent of a cyclic code and its dual code. Finally, we introduce and determine the…

We study the automorphism group Aut(G) of a free product G of finite cyclic groups. We investigate the question in which cases Aut(G) has Serre's property FA. In the case of two or three free factors, we prove that Aut(G) does not have…

Let $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ be the finite field with $q$ elements. In this paper we will describe the dynamics of the map $f(X)=X(X^{q-1}-c)^{q+1},$ with $c\in\mathbb{F}_{q}^{\ast},$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$.

We show that non-flatness of a morphism f of complex-analytic spaces with a locally irreducible target Y of dimension n manifests in the existence of vertical components in the n-fold fibred power of the pull-back of f to the…

A monic polynomial in F_q[t] of degree n over a finite field F_q of odd characteristic can be written as the sum of two irreducible monic elements in F_q[t] of degrees n and n-1 if q is larger than a bound depending only on n. The main tool…

Let $r,n>1$ be integers and $q$ be any prime power $q$ such that $r\mid q^n-1$. We say that the extension $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}/\mathbb{F}_q$ possesses the line property for $r$-primitive elements if, for every…

Let $q$ be a prime power and let $\mathcal{R}=\mathbb{F}_{q}[u_1,u_2, \cdots, u_k]/\langle f_i(u_i),u_iu_j-u_ju_i\rangle$ be a finite non-chain ring, where $f_i(u_i), 1\leq i \leq k$ are polynomials, not all linear, which split into…

Let K be a finite unramified extension of Q_p. We parametrize the (phi, Gamma)-modules corresponding to reducible two-dimensional mod p representations of G_K and characterize those which have reducible crystalline lifts with certain…

Let $q=p^k$ be a prime power, let $n\geq2$ be an integer and let $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ be a finite field. It is shown that the set of primitive normal elements is a Salem set. Furthermore, it is proved that this set is strongly equidistributed…

An element $g$ of a finite group $G$ is said to be vanishing in $G$ if there exists an irreducible character $\chi$ of $G$ such that $\chi(g)=0$; in this case, $g$ is also called a zero of $G$. The aim of this paper is to obtain structural…

For all $k \ge 2$, we show that there exists a group $G$ and a non-free stably free $\mathbb{Z} G$-module of rank $k$. We use this to show that, for all $k \ge 2$, there exist homotopically distinct finite $2$-complexes with fundamental…

Let f: A^N \to A^N be a regular polynomial automorphism defined over a number field K. For each place v of K, we construct the v-adic Green functions G_{f,v} and G_{f^{-1},v} (i.e., the v-adic canonical height functions) for f and f^{-1}.…
