We initiate the theory of a quadratic form $q$ over a semiring $R$. As customary, one can write $$q(x+y) = q(x) + q(y)+ b(x,y),$$ where $b$ is a companion bilinear form. But in contrast to the ring-theoretic case, the companion bilinear…

We translate Davenport's and Heilbronn's work on a quantitative version of the Oppenheim conjecture for indefinite diagonal quadratic forms in 5 variables into the setting of function fields.

Let $\mathbf{k}$ be an algebraically closed field. Recently, K. Erdmann classified the symmetric $\mathbf{k}$-algebras $\Lambda$ of finite representation type such that every non-projective module $M$ has period dividing four. The goal of…

Let $K$ be a locally compact non-discrete field of characteristic $p>2$ and $Q$ be a non-degenerate isotropic binary quadratic form with coefficients in $K$. We obtain asymptotic estimates for the number of solutions in the two-fold product…

In this article we give an analogue of Hecke and Sturm bounds for Hilbert modular forms over real quadratic fields. Let $K$ be a real quadratic field and $\Om_K$ its ring of integers. Let $\Gamma$ be a congruence subgroup of $\SL_2(\Om_K)$…

We prove an explicit upper bound on the number of real quadratic fields that admit a universal quadratic form of a given rank, thus establishing a density zero statement. More generally, we obtain such a result for totally positive definite…

In this article we study certain asymptotic properties of global fields. We consider the set of Tsfasman-Vladuts invariants of infinite global fields and answer some natural questions arising from their work. In particular, we prove the…

We classify all cubic extensions of any field of arbitrary characteristic, up to isomorphism, via an explicit construction involving three fundamental types of cubic forms. We deduce a classification of any Galois cubic extension of a…

We study the behaviour of differential forms in a manifold having at least one of their maximal isotropic local distributions endowed with the special algebraic property of being decomposable. We show that they can be represented as the sum…

An algebraic approach is developed to define and study infinite dimensional grassmannians. Using this approach a quantum deformation is obtained for both the ind-variety union of all finite dimensional grassmannians, and the Sato…

A manifestly covariant formulation of quantum field Maslov complex-WKB theory (semiclassical field theory) is investigated for the case of scalar field. The main object of the theory is "semiclassical bundle". Its base is the set of all…

Using periodic orbit theory, we evaluate the form factor of a quantum graph to which a very weak magnetic field is applied. The first correction to the diagonal approximation describing the transition between the universality classes is…

In this paper we define (empirical) quadratic variations for a Gaussian isotropic random field $f$ on a unit sphere as sums over equidistant increments on one single geodesic line on the surface of the sphere. We prove a noncentral limit…

We study formally real, non-pythagorean fields which have an anisotropic torsion form that contains every anisotropic torsion form as a subform. We obtain consequences for certain invariants and the Witt ring of such fields and construct…

We consider a unit normal vector field of (local) hyperfoliation on a given Riemannian manifold as a submanifold in the unit tangent bundle with Sasaki metric. We give an explicit expression of the second fundamental form for this…

We explicitly compute the semi-global symplectic invariants near the focus-focus point of the spherical pendulum. A modified Birkhoff normal form procedure is presented to compute the expansion of the Hamiltonian near the unstable…

Generally, quantum field theories can be thought as deformations away from conformal field theories. In this article, with a simple bottom up model assumed to possess a holographic description, we study a putative large N quantum field…

A key problem in the attempt to quantize the gravitational field is the choice of boundary conditions. These are mixed, in that spatial and normal components of metric perturbations obey different sets of boundary conditions. In the…

Let $K$ be the fraction field of a 2-dimensional, henselian, excellent local domain with finite residue field $k$. When the characteristic of $k$ is not 2, we prove that every quadratic form of rank $\ge 9$ is isotropic over $K$ using…

A strong consequence of quadratic forms becoming hyperbolic over the function field of a form is established. This result is invoked to obtain a new characterisation of hyperbolicity over function fields, and to recover a number of…
