The aim of this paper is to give an algebraic characterization of the rings $C(X,\mathbb{Q}_p)$ of all continuous $\mathbb{Q}_p$-valued functions on a compact space $X$. The characterization is similar to that of M. Stone from 1940 for the…

Let $p$ be a polynomial in non-commutative variables $x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n$ with constant term zero over an algebraically closed field $K$. The object of study in this paper is the image of this kind of polynomial over the algebra of upper…

Let X be an affine irreducible variety over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic zero. Given an automorphism F, we denote by k(X)^F its field of invariants, i.e. the set of rational functions f on X such that f(F)=f. Let n(F)…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $k$ be a sufficiently large finite field. Let $R(G)$ denote the character ring of $G$ (i.e. the Grothendieck ring of the category of ${\mathbb{C}}G$-modules). We study the structure and the representations…

Let D be a Krull domain and Int(D) the ring of integer-valued polynomials on D. For any f in Int(D), we explicitly construct a divisor homomorphism from [f], the divisor-closed submonoid of Int(D) generated by f, to a finite sum of copies…

We identify two seemingly disparate structures: supercharacters, a useful way of doing Fourier analysis on the group of unipotent uppertriangular matrices with coefficients in a finite field, and the ring of symmetric functions in…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring of prime characteristic $p$. The main goal of this paper is to study in some detail when \[ \overline{W^R}:=\{\mathfrak{p}\in\operatorname{Spec} (R):\ \mathcal{F}^{E_{\mathfrak{p}}}\text{ is finitely…

We extend Theorem 1 of R. Reams, A Galois approach to m-th roots of matrices with rational entries, LAA 258 (1997), 187-194. Let $p(\lambda)$ be any polynomial over $\mathbb{Q}$ and let $A\in M_n(\mathbb{Q})$ have irreducible characteristic…

Let X be a flexible variety of F be an isomorphism of closed one-dimensional subschemes of $X$. We develop criteria which guarantee that F extends to au automorphism of X.

We analyze the Fourier growth, i.e. the $L_1$ Fourier weight at level $k$ (denoted $L_{1,k}$), of various well-studied classes of "structured" $\mathbb{F}_2$-polynomials. This study is motivated by applications in pseudorandomness, in…

Let $f$ be a polynomial in the free algebra over a field $K$, and let $A$ be a $K$-algebra. We denote by $\S_A(f)$, $\A_A(f)$ and $\I_A(f)$, respectively, the `verbal' subspace, subalgebra, and ideal, in $A$, generated by the set of all…

Let $Z$ be an affine algebraic variety and $X$ be a smooth flexible variety. We develop some criteria under which $Z$ admits a closed embedding into $X$. In particular, we show that if $X$ is isomorphic (as an algebraic variety) to a…

Let F = F_p for any fixed prime p >= 2. An affine-invariant property is a property of functions on F^n that is closed under taking affine transformations of the domain. We prove that all affine-invariant property having local…

Let $M$ be a square matrix and let $p(t)$ be a monic polynomial of degree $n$. Let $Z$ be a set of $n\times n$ matrices. The multiplicative inverse eigenvalue problem asks for the construction of a matrix in $Z$ such that the product matrix…

Let p be an odd prime, and consider the map H_p which sends an integer x to either x/2 or (px+1)/2 depending on whether x is even or odd. The values at x=0 of arbitrary composition sequences of the maps x/2 and (px+1)/2 can be parameterized…

Let $K$ be a field complete with respect to a nonarchimedean real-valued norm, and let $L/K$ be an algebraic extension. We show that there is a unique norm on $L$ extending the given norm on $K$, with an explicit description. As an…

We introduce new polynomial invariants of a finite-dimensional semisimple and cosemisimple Hopf algebra A over a field by using the braiding structures of A. We investigate basic properties of the polynomial invariants including stability…

We start studying the character variety of the algebraic supergroup OSp(1|2) from the algebraic perspective. We do this by first investigating the specific case of the character variety of the free group on two letters and try to describe…
