We provide an explicit bound on the number of periodic points of a rational function defined over a number field, where the bound depends only on the number of primes of bad reduction and the degree of the function, and is linear in the…

In this article we prove lower and upper bounds for class numbers of algebraic curves defined over finite fields. These bounds turn out to be better than most of the previously known bounds obtained using combinatorics. The methods used in…

In this paper we introduce the concept of corner element of a generalized numerical semigroup, which extends in a sense the idea of conductor of a numerical semigroup to generalized numerical semigroups in higher dimensions. We present…

We establish a coupled fixed points theorem for a meaningful class of mixed monotone multivalued operators and then we use it to derive some results on existence of quasisolutions and solutions to first--order functional differential…

We prove some novel multi-parameter point-line incidence estimates in vector spaces over finite fields. While these could be seen as special cases of higher-dimensional incidence results, they outperform their more general counterparts in…

Let K be a number field and let S be a finite set of places of K which contains all the Archimedean places. For any f(z) in K(z) of degree d at least 2 which is not a d-th power in \bar{K}(z), Siegel's theorem implies that the image set…

Asymptotic expansions are derived for solutions of the parabolic cylinder and Weber differential equations. In addition the inhomogeneous versions of the equations are considered, for the case of polynomial forcing terms. The expansions…

We show that there is always a uniformly antisymmetric f:A-> {0,1} if A subset R is countable. We prove that the continuum hypothesis is equivalent to the statement that there is an f:R-> omega with |S_x| <= 1 for every x in R. If the…

We consider an arbitrary finite-dimensional commutative associative algebra, $\mathbb{A}_n^m$, with unit over the field of complex number with $m$ idempotents. Let $e_1=1,e_2,e_3$ be elements of $\mathbb{A}_n^m$ which are linearly…

We improve the best known upper bounds on the density of corner-free sets over quasirandom groups from inverse poly-logarithmic to quasi-polynomial. We make similarly substantial improvements to the best known lower bounds on the…

This paper proposes a general framework for nonperturbatively defining continuum quantum field theories. Unlike most such frameworks, the one offered here is finitary: continuum theories are defined by reducing large but finite quantum…

Let $\mathcal{E}_{f}:y^2=x^3+f(t)x$, where $f\in\Q[t]\setminus\Q$, and let us assume that $\op{deg}f\leq 4$. In this paper we prove that if $\op{deg}f\leq 3$, then there exists a rational base change $t\mapsto\phi(t)$ such that on the…

We introduce sequences of functions orthogonal on a finite interval: proper orthogonal rational functions, orthogonal exponential functions, orthogonal logarithmic functions, and transmuted orthogonal polynomials

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over a number field $K$, let $\alpha \in E(K)$ be a point of infinite order, and let $N^{-1}\alpha$ be the set of $N$-division points of $\alpha$ in $E(\bar{K})$. We prove strong effective and uniform…

We study semifinite harmonic functions on the zigzag graph, which corresponds to Pieri's rule for the fundamental quasisymmetric functions $\{F_{\lambda}\}$. The main problem, which we solve here, is to classify the indecomposable…

This is a companion note to our paper 'A relative Szemer\'edi theorem', elaborating on a concluding remark. In that paper, we showed how to prove a relative Szemer\'edi theorem for $(r+1)$-term arithmetic progressions assuming a linear…

Let $f_1, ..., f_R$ be rational forms of degree $d \ge 2$ in $n > \sigma + R(R+1)(d-1)2^{d-1}$ variables, where $\sigma$ is the dimension of the affine variety cut out by the condition $\mathrm{rank}(\nabla f_k)_{k=1}^R < R$. Assume that…

Our main result here is that the specialization at $t=1/q$ of the $Q_{km,kn}$ operators studied in [4] may be given a very simple plethystic form. This discovery yields elementary and direct derivations of several identities relating these…

We explore finite-field frameworks for quantum theory and quantum computation. The simplest theory, defined over unrestricted finite fields, is unnaturally strong. A second framework employs only finite fields with no solution to x^2+1=0,…

We study the Dirichlet problem for first order hyperbolic quasi-linear functional PDEs on a simply connected bounded domain of $\R^2$, where the domain has an interior outflow set and a mere inflow boundary. While the question of existence…
