Let $K$ be a field of char $K\neq 2$. For $a\in K$, we give an explicit answer to the field isomorphism problem of the simplest quartic polynomial $X^4-aX^3-6X^2+aX+1$ over $K$ as the special case of the field intersection problem via…

We consider a continuous analogue of Babai et al.'s and Cai et al.'s problem of solving multiplicative matrix equations. Given $k+1$ square matrices $A_{1}, \ldots, A_{k}, C$, all of the same dimension, whose entries are real algebraic, we…

Twisted K-theory on a manifold X, with twisting in the 3rd integral cohomology, is dis- cussed in the case when X is a product of a circle T and a manifold M. The twist is assumed to be decomposable as a cup product of the basic integral…

We explore the N=1* theories compactified on a circle with twisted boundary conditions. The gauge algebra of these theories are the so-called twisted affine Lie algebra. We propose the exact superpotentials by guessing the sum of all…

We examine a generalisation of the usual self-duality equations for Yang-Mills theory when the colour space admits a non-trivial involution. This involution allows us to construct a non-trivial twist which may be combined with the Hodge…

E. Thomas was one of the first to solve an infinite family of Thue equations, when he considered the forms $F_n(X, Y )= X^3 -(n-1)X^2Y -(n+2)XY^2 -Y^3$ and the family of equations $F_n(X, Y )=\pm 1$, $n\in {\mathbf N}$. This family is…

The central topic is this question: is a given $k$-\'etale algebra $\prod_lE_l/k$ the specialization of a given $k$-cover $f:X\rightarrow B$ at some point $t_0\in B(k)$? Our main tool is a {\it twisting lemma} that reduces the problem to…

We use the geometry of the space of fields for gauged supersymmetric mechanics to construct the twisted differential equivariant K-theory of a manifold with an action by a finite group.

We consider binomial Thue equations of type $x^n-my^n=\pm 1$ in $x,y\in Z$. Optimizing the method of Peth\H o we perform an extensive calculation by a high performance computer to determine all solutions with $\max(|x|,|y|)<10^{500}$ of…

The common eigenfunctions of the twisted Cherednik operators can be first analyzed in the limit of $q\longrightarrow 1$. Then, the polynomial eigenfunctions form a simple set originating from the symmetric ground state of non-vanishing…

We study the notion of twisted conjugacy separability (essentially introduced in our previous paper for a proof of twisted version of Burnside-Frobenius theorem) and some related properties. We give examples of groups with and without this…

Let $F \in \mathbb Z[x, y]$ be an irreducible binary form of degree $d \geq 7$ and content one. Let $\alpha$ be a root of $F(x, 1)$ and assume that the field extension $\mathbb Q(\alpha)/\mathbb Q$ is Galois. We prove that, for every…

Twisting a binary form $F_0(X,Y)\in{\mathbb{Z}}[X,Y]$ of degree $d\ge 3$ by powers $\upsilon^a$ ($a\in{\mathbb{Z}}$) of an algebraic unit $\upsilon$ gives rise to a binary form $F_a(X,Y)\in{\mathbb{Z}}[X,Y]$. More precisely, when $K$ is a…

An invariant for twisted K theory classes on a 3-manifold is introduced. The invariant is then applied to the twisted equivariant classes arising from the supersymmetric Wess-Zumino-Witten model based on the group SU(2). It is shown that…

This paper describes how to compute algorithmically certain twisted signature invariants of a knot $K$ using twisted Blanchfield forms. An illustration of the algorithm is implemented on $(2,q)$-torus knots. Additionally, using satellite…

Let $K$ be a number field, let $S$ be a finite set of places of $K$ containing the archimedean places and let $\mu$, $\alpha_1,\alpha_2,\alpha_3$ be non--zero elements in $K$. Denote by $\OS$ the ring of $S$--integers in $K$ and by…

We introduce a general framework to unify several variants of twisted topological $K$-theory. We focus on the role of finite dimensional real simple algebras with a product-preserving involution, showing that Grothendieck-Witt groups…

We construct a principally graded quantum loop algebra for the Kac-Moody algebra. As a special case a twisted analog of the quantum toroidal algebra is obtained together with the quantum Serre relations.

We consider the theory of algebraically closed fields of characteristic zero with multivalued operations $x\mapsto x^r$ (raising to powers). It is in fact the theory of equations in exponential sums. In an earlier paper we have described…
