This paper shows that algebraic (in)dependence is encoded in Milnor K-theory of fields. As an application, we show that the isomorphism type of a field is determined by its Milnor K-theory, up to purely inseparable extensions, in most…

We give some new results on algebraic independence within Mahler's method, including algebraic independence of values at transcendental points. We also give some new measures of algebraic independence for infinite series of numbers. In…

We present a method to compute the Euler characteristic of an algebraic subset of $\bc^n$. This method relies on clasical tools such as Gr\"obner basis and primary decomposition. The existence of this method allows us to define a new…

We develop a new tool, namely polynomial and linear algebraic methods, for studying systems of word equations. We illustrate its usefulness by giving essentially simpler proofs of several hard problems. At the same time we prove extensions…

We consider a space of complex polynomials of degree $n\ge 3$ with $n-1$ distinguished periodic orbits. We prove that the multipliers of these periodic orbits considered as algebraic functions on that space, are algebraically independent…

A set of multivariate polynomials, over a field of zero or large characteristic, can be tested for algebraic independence by the well-known Jacobian criterion. For fields of other characteristic p>0, there is no analogous characterization…

We develop new polynomial methods for studying systems of word equations. We use them to improve some earlier results and to analyze how sizes of systems of word equations satisfying certain independence properties depend on the lengths of…

Algebraic independence is an advanced notion in commutative algebra that generalizes independence of linear polynomials to higher degree. Polynomials {f_1, ..., f_m} \subset \F[x_1, ..., x_n] are called algebraically independent if there is…

We give conditions on a finite set of series of rational numbers to ensure that they are algebraically independent. Specialising our results to polynomials of lower degree, we also obtain new results on irrationality and $mathbb{Q}$-linear…

The present survey results from the will to reconcile two approaches to quantum probabilities: one rather physical and coming directly from quantum mechanics, the other more algebraic. The second leading idea is to provide a unified picture…

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…

We establish the independence of multipliers for polynomial endomorphisms of $\mathbb C^n$ and endomorphisms of $\mathbb P^n.$ This allows us to extend results about the bifurcation measure and the critical height obtained in…

Motivated by the Dani-Mainkar construction, we extend the notion of independence polynomial of graphs to arbitrary 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras. After establishing efficiently computable upper and lower bounds for the independence number,…

We prove a new general multiplicity estimate applicable to sets of functions without any assumption on algebraic independence. The multiplicity estimates are commonly used in determining measures of algebraic independence of values of…

We generalize Gel'fond's criterion of algebraic independence to the context of a sequence of polynomials whose first derivatives take small values on large subsets of a fixed subgroup of the additive group of complex numbers, instead of…

This is the second part of a work devoted to the study of linear Mahler systems in several variables from the perspective of transcendence and algebraic independence. From the lifting theorem obtained in the first part, we first derive a…

This paper provides the first criteria for the linear independence of multiple polylogarithm values over algebraic number fields. In particular, we derive novel results regarding the linear independence of products of polylogarithms at…

Let $(x_1,y_1),\ldots,(x_n,y_n)$ be distinct non-constant and non-degenerate solutions of the classical Lotka-Volterra system \begin{equation}\notag \begin{split} x'&= axy + bx\\ y'&= cxy + dy, \end{split} \end{equation} where…

In this paper we present an algorithmic procedure that transforms, if possible, a given system of ordinary or partial differential equations with radical dependencies in the unknown function and its derivatives into a system with polynomial…

Here we propose a survey on Mahler's theory for transcendence and algebraic independence focusing on certain applications to the arithmetic of periods of Anderson t-motives.
