For positive integers $K$ and $L$, we introduce and study the notion of $K$-multiplicative dependence over the algebraic closure $\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p$ of a finite prime field $\mathbb{F}_p$, as well as $L$-linear dependence of points on…

We study model-theoretic stability and independence in Banach lattices of the form $L_p(X,U,\mu)$, where $1 \leq p < \infty$. We characterize non-dividing using concepts from analysis and show that canonical bases exist as tuples of real…

Let ${\cal D}^k$ be the space of $k$-th order linear differential operators on ${\bf R}$: $A=a_k(x)\frac{d^k}{dx^k}+\cdots+a_0(x)$. We study a natural 1-parameter family of $\Diff(\bf R)$- (and $\Vect(\bf R)$)-modules on ${\cal D}^k$. (To…

Let $m\ge 2$ be an integer, $K$ an algebraic number field and $\alpha\in K\setminus \{0,-1\}$ with sufficiently small absolute value. In this article, we provide a new lower bound for linear form in…

We survey a number of different methods for computing $L(\chi,1-k)$ for a Dirichlet character $\chi$, with particular emphasis on quadratic characters. The main conclusion is that when $k$ is not too large (for instance $k\le100$) the best…

Let $\chi_D$ be the Dirichlet character associated to $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{D})$ where $D < 0$ is a fundamental discriminant. Improving Granville-Stark [DOI:10.1007/s002229900036], we show that \[ \frac{L'}{L}(1,\chi_D) = \frac{1}{6}\,…

Let $L(s,\chi)$ be the Dirichlet $L$-function associated to a non-principal primitive character $\chi$ modulo $q$ with $3\le q \le 400\,000$. We prove a new explicit zero-free region for $L(s,\chi)$: $L(s,\chi)$ does not vanish in the…

We establish new measures of linear independence of logarithms on commutative algebraic groups in the so-called \emph{rational case}. More precisely, let k be a number field and v_{0} be an arbitrary place of k. Let G be a commutative…

The grouplike elements of a coalgebra over a field are known to be linearly independent over said field. Here we prove three variants of this result. One is a generalization to coalgebras over a commutative ring (in which case the linear…

Let $L(s,\chi)$ be the Dirichlet $L$-function associated to a non-principal primitive Dirichlet character $\chi$ defined modulo $q$, where $q\ge 3$. We prove, under the assumption of the Generalised Riemann Hypothesis, the validity of…

We study the dependence of graded Betti numbers of monomial ideals on the characteristic of the base field. The examples we describe include bipartite ideals, Stanley--Reisner ideals of vertex-decomposable complexes and ideals with…

Let $\chi$ be a primitive Dirichlet character of conductor $q$ and let us denote by $L(z, \chi)$ the associated $L$-series. In this paper, we provide an explicit upper bound for $\left|L(1, \chi)\right|$ when $\chi$ is a primitive even…

We consider the inverse problem of determining the Lam\'e moduli for a piecewise constant elasticity tensor ${\mathbb C}= \sum_{j} {\mathbb C}_j \chi_{D_j}$, where $\{D_j\}$ is a known finite partition of the body $\Omega$, from the…

We study the relation between the size of $L(1,\chi)$ and the width of the zero-free interval to the left of that point.

We study the class numbers of integral binary cubic forms. For each $SL_2(Z)$ invariant lattice $L$, Shintani introduced Dirichlet series whose coefficients are the class numbers of binary cubic forms in $L$. We classify the invariant…

Let $\chi$ be a primitive Dirichlet character modulo $q$ and $L(s,\chi)$ be the Dirichlet L-function associated to $\chi$. Using a new two-piece mollifier we show that $L(\tfrac{1}{2},\chi)\ne0$ for at least 34% of the characters in the…

This note presents an analytic technique for proving the linear independence of certain small subsets of real numbers over the rational numbers. The applications of this test produce simple linear independence proofs for the subsets of…

In this paper, we investigate the quantity $m_q:=\min_{\chi\ne \chi_0} | L^\prime/L(1,\chi)|$, as $q\to \infty$ over the primes, where $L(s,\chi)$ is the Dirichlet $L$-function attached to a non trivial Dirichlet character modulo $q$. Our…

We develop a discrete spectral framework for Dirichlet $L$-functions that reveals a combinatorial structure underlying their special values and connects this to their zeros. Our approach approximates the classical Dirichlet series by finite…

Let $L(s,\chi)$ be a fixed Dirichlet $L$-function. Given a vertical arithmetic progression of $T$ points on the line $\Re(s)=1/2$, we show that $\gg T \log T$ of them are not zeros of $L(s,\chi)$. This result provides some theoretical…
