In this paper we study some fundamental algebraic properties of slice functions and slice regular functions over an alternative $^*$-algebra $A$ over $\mathbb{R}$. These recently introduced function theories generalize to higher dimensions…

In this paper we study division algebras over the function fields of curves over $\Q_p$. The first and main tool is to view these fields as function fields over nonsingular $S$ which are projective of relative dimension 1 over the $p$ adic…

We exhibit planar, rational curves of large degree over ${\mathbb F}_2$ that have a unique singular point, which has multiplicity 2. In characteristic 0 such curves exist only for degrees up to $6$. v.2: references updated and examples of…

A function on a (generally infinite) graph $\G$ with values in a field $K$ of characteristic 2 will be called {\it harmonic} if its value at every vertex of $\G$ is the sum of its values over all adjacent vertices. We consider binary…

In this paper we give an upper bound on the number of rational points on an irreducible curve $C$ of degree $\delta$ defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ lying on a Frobenius classical surface $S$ embedded in $\mathbb{P}^3$. This…

Let E be an elliptic curve defined over a number field K, V the complexification of the group of rational points of E over an algebraic closure L of K, and G the Galois group Gal(L/K). We show that for each root of unity w, the set of…

Given a finite nonempty sequence $S$ of integers, write it as $XY^k$, where $Y^k$ is a power of greatest exponent that is a suffix of $S$: this $k$ is the curling number of $S$. The concept of curling number of sequences has already been…

A general type of ray class fields of global function fields is investigated. The systematic computation of their genera leads to new examples of curves over finite fields with comparatively many rational points.

We obtain explicit formulas for the number of non-isomorphic elliptic curves with a given group structure (considered as an abstract abelian group). Moreover, we give explicit formulas for the number of distinct group structures of all…

Using a geometric approach involving Riemann surface orbifolds, we provide lower bounds for the genus of an irreducible algebraic curve of the form $E_{A,B}:\, A(x)-B(y)=0$, where $A, B\in\mathbb C(z)$. We also investigate "series" of…

By studying $\mathbb{A}^1$-curves on varieties, we propose a geometric approach to strong approximation problem over function fields of complex curves. We prove that strong approximation holds for smooth, low degree affine complete…

We fix a counting function of multiplicities of algebraic points in a projective hypersurface over a number field, and take the sum over all algebraic points of bounded height and fixed degree. An upper bound for the sum with respect to…

Let C : y^2=f(x) be a hyperelliptic curve defined over the rationals. Let K be a number field and suppose f factors over K as a product of irreducible polynomials f=f_1 f_2...f_r. We shall define a "Selmer set" corresponding to this…

We define four different kinds of multiplicity of an invariant algebraic curve for a given polynomial vector field and investigate their relationships. After taking a closer look at the singularities and at the line of infinity, we improve…

A lower bound on the minimum degree of the plane algebraic curves containing every point in a large point-set $K$ of the Desarguesian plane $PG(2,q)$ is obtained. The case where $K$ is a maximal $(k,n)$-arc is considered to greater extent.

Let $F_q$ be a finite field of characteristic $p=2,3$. We give the number of irreducible polynomials $x^m+a_{m-1}x^{m-1}+...+a_0\in\F_q[x]$ with $a_{m-1}$ and $a_{m-3}$ prescribed for any given $m$ if $p=2$, and with $a_{m-1}$ and $a_1$…

We classify the polynomials $f(x,y) \in \mathbb R[x,y]$ such that given any finite set $A \subset \mathbb R$ if $|A+A|$ is small, then $|f(A,A)|$ is large. In particular, the following bound holds : $|A+A||f(A,A)| \gtrsim |A|^{5/2}.$ The…

This paper catalogues a variety of examples concerning a type of function of a $p$-adic integer variable defined by a formal series expression we have dubbed "$\mathcal{F}$-series". These series exhibit a new, previously undocumented form…

Consider a pair of ordinary elliptic curves $E$ and $E'$ defined over the same finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Suppose they have the same number of $\mathbb{F}_q$-rational points, i.e. $|E(\mathbb{F}_q)|=|E'(\mathbb{F}_q)|$. In this paper we…

We show that if a field k contains sufficiently many elements(for instance, if k is infinite), and K is an algebraically closed field containing k, then every linear algebraic k-group over K is k-isomorphic to Aut(A\otimes_kK), where A is a…
