The p-cohomology of an algebraic variety in characteristic p lies naturally in the category $D_{c}^{b}(R)$ of coherent complexes of graded modules over the Raynaud ring (Ekedahl-Illusie-Raynaud). We study homological algebra in this…
To every object $X$ of a symmetric tensor category over a field of characteristic $p>0$ we attach $p$-adic integers $\text{Dim}_+(X)$ and $\text{Dim}_-(X)$ whose reduction modulo $p$ is the categorical dimension $\text{dim}(X)$ of $X$,…
Let $K$ be a number field. We show that, up to allowing a finite set of denominators in the partial quotients, it is possible to define algorithms for $\mathfrak P$-adic continued fractions satisfying the finiteness property on $K$ for…
For a polynomial $f(x)$ in $(\mathbb{Z}_p\cap \mathbb{Q})[x]$ of degree $d>2$ let $L(f \bmod p;T)$ be the $L$-function of the exponential sum of $f \bmod p$. Let $\mathrm{NP}(f \bmod p)$ denote the Newton polygon of $L(f \bmod p;T)$. Let…
For a given algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$ we consider the set ${\mathcal C}_k$, of graded isomorphism classes of {\em standard graded pairs} $(R, I)$, where $R$ is a standard graded ring over the field and $I$ is a…
Let $\phi$ be a non-isotrivial family of Drinfeld A-modules of rank r in generic characteristic with a suitable level structure over a connected smooth algebraic variety X. Suppose that the endomorphism ring of $\phi$ is equal to A. Then we…
Let A be the integral closure of the ring of polynomials CC[t], within the field of algebraic functions in one variable. We show that A interprets the ring of integers. This contrasts with the analogue for finite fields, proved to have a…
Via counting over finite fields, we derive explicit formulas for the E-polynomials and Euler characteristics of GL(d)- and PGL(d)-character varieties of free groups. We prove a positivity property for these polynomials and relate them to…
In [2], an exhaustive construction is achieved for the class of all 4-dimensional unital division algebras over finite fields of odd order, whose left nucleus is not minimal and whose automorphism group contains Klein's four-group. We…
We investigate diagonal forms of degree $d$ over the function field $F$ of a smooth projective $p$-adic curve: if a form is isotropic over the completion of $F$ with respect to each discrete valuation of $F$, then it is isotropic over…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements, $K$ be an algebraically closed field containing $\mathbb{F}_q$, $K\{\tau\}$ be the Ore ring of $\mathbb{F}_q$-linear polynomials and $\Lambda_n$ be a free $K\{\tau\}$-module of rank…
We consider finite dimensional representations of the dihedral group $D_{2p}$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic two where $p$ is an odd integer and study the degrees of generating and separating polynomials in the…
We construct a Siegel--Eisenstein series of level $p$ with a quadratic character mod $p$ which is a $U(p)$-eigenfunction with eigenvalue $1$, and calculate its Fourier coefficients explicitly. We show that this Siegel--Eisenstein series is…
We study the relative algebraic closure $K$ of $\bar{\mathbb{F}}_p((t))$ inside $\bar{\mathbb{F}}((t^{\mathbb{Q}}))$. We show that the supports of elements in $K$ have order type strictly less than $\omega^\omega$. We also recover a theorem…
We describe algebraic curves $ X : F(x, y) = 0 $ defined over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$ that satisfy the following property: there exist a number field $k$ and an infinite set $S \subset k$ such that, for every $y \in S$, the roots of the…
Let $K/\mathbb{Q}_p$ be a finite extension whose ramification index is coprime to $p^2-p$. We study height-one commuting pairs $(f, u)$ of noninvertible and invertible formal power series defined over the ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$ of…
We study the class of 2-dimensional affine k-domains R satisfying ML(R) = k, where k is an arbitrary field of characteristic zero. In particular, we obtain the following result: Let R be a localization of a polynomial ring in finitely many…
A finite abelian $p$-group having an automorphism $x$ such that $1+\ldots+x^{p-1}=0$, can be viewed as a module over an appropriate discrete valuation ring $\mathcal{O}$ containing $\mathbb{Z}_p$ (the ring of $p$-adic integer). This yields…
Using Fourier-Mukai transformations, we prove some results about the ring of unipotent vector bundles on elliptic curves in positive characteristics. This ring was determined by Atiyah in characteristic zero, who showed that it is a…
Let $k$ be a Brauer field, that is, a field over which every diagonal form in sufficiently many variables has a nonzero solution; for instance, $k$ could be an imaginary quadratic number field. Brauer proved that if $f_1, \ldots, f_r$ are…
