We prove a descent result for affine/projective varieties defined over an algebraically closed field. The idea is to work with the reduced Groebner basis of the ideal where the variety vanishes and study it's behaviour under group action…

Consider a polynomial $f$ with a convenient Newton polytope $P$ and generic complex coefficients. By the global version of the Kouchnirenko formula, the hypersurface $\{f = 0\} \subset \mathbb{C}^n$ has the homotopy type of a bouquet of…

Let $S_{n}f$ denote the $n$th partial sum of the Vilenkin-Fourier series of a function $f \in L^{1}(G)$. For $1 < p_{-} \leq p_{+} < \infty$, we characterize all exponents $p(\cdot)$ for which the convergence of $S_{n}f$ to $f$ in…

The infinitesimal counterpart of a Lie groupoid is its Lie algebroid. As a vector bundle, it is given by the source vertical tangent bundle restricted to the identity bisection. Its sections can be identified with the invariant vector…

There is a universal constant $0<r_0<1$ with the following property. Suppose that $f$ is an analytic function on the unit disk $\D$, and suppose that there exists a constant $M>0$ so that the Euclidean area, counting multiplicity, of the…

We establish pointwise almost everywhere convergence for ergodic averages along polynomial sequences in nilpotent groups of step two of measure-preserving transformations on $\sigma$-finite measure spaces. We also establish corresponding…

A new intrinsic volume metric is introduced for the class of convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^n$. As an application, an inequality is proved for the asymptotic best approximation of the Euclidean unit ball by arbitrarily positioned polytopes…

In this paper, we study the real hypersurfaces $M$ in $\mathbb C^2$ at points $p\in M$ of infinite type. The degeneracy of $M$ at $p$ is assumed to be the least possible, namely such that the Levi form vanishes to first order in the CR…

We obtain an asymptotic formula for the mean value of L-functions associated to cubic characters over F_q[t]. We solve this problem in the non-Kummer setting when q=2 (mod 3) and in the Kummer case when q=1 (mod 3). The proofs rely on…

We generalize a version of Lavrent\'ev's theorem which says that a function that is continuous on a compact set K with connected complement and without interior points can be uniformly approximated as closely as desired by a polynomial…

We study the volume of unit balls $B^n_{p,q}$ of finite-dimensional Lorentz sequence spaces $\ell_{p,q}^n.$ We give an iterative formula for ${\rm vol}(B^n_{p,q})$ for the weak Lebesgue spaces with $q=\infty$ and explicit formulas for $q=1$…

Let $X$ be a scheme of finite type over a finite field $k$, and let $\mathcal L X$ denote its arc space; in particular, $\mathcal L X(k) = X(k[[t]])$. Using the theory of Grinberg, Kazhdan, and Drinfeld on the finite-dimensionality of…

We investigate homogeneity in the special Colombeau algebra. It is shown that strongly scaling invariant functions on the d-dimensional space are simply the constants. On the pierced space, strongly homogeneous functions admit tempered…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be an uncountable field of characteristic zero and let $f$ be a function from $\mathbb{K}^n$ to $\mathbb{K}$. We show that if the restriction of $f$ to every affine plane $L\subset\mathbb{K}^n$ is regular, then $f$ is a…

Let d>2 and let p be a prime coprime to d. Let Z_pbar be the ring of integers of Q_pbar. Suppose f(x) is a degree-d polynomial over Qbar and Z_pbar. Let P be a prime ideal over p in the ring of integers of Q(f), where Q(f) is the number…

This note intertwines the concepts of degeneration and contraction of algebras and quadratic forms defined on a vector space V . The general linear group GL(V ) acts regularly on the spaces of these two objects. The base field is taken to…
