The determination of scalars involved in Lusztig's conjecture for finite reductive groups $G(F_q)$ was achieved by Waldspurger in the case of symplectic groups or orthogonal groups, under the condition that $p,q$ are large enough. Here $p$…

Recently N. Levin (Comp. Math. 127 (2001), 1--21) proved the Tate conjecture for ordinary cubic fourfolds over finite fields. In this paper we prove the Tate conjecture for self-products of ordinary cubic fourfolds. Our proof is based on…

Kronecker's Theorem and Rabin's Theorem are fundamental results about computable fields F and the decidability of the set of irreducible polynomials over F. We adapt these theorems to the setting of differential fields K, with constrained…

Boris Shapiro and Michael Shapiro have a conjecture concerning the Schubert calculus and real enumerative geometry and which would give infinitely many families of zero-dimensional systems of real polynomials (including families of…

In the present paper, we provide a new analogy between number fields and 1-dimensional function fields over finite fields from the viewpoint that the maximal cyclotomic extension of a number field is analogous to the constant field…

Let $K_{q^n}(a)$ be a Kloosterman sum over the finite field $\F_{q^n}$ of characteristic $p$. In this note so called subfield conjecture is proved in case $p>3$: if $a\ne0$ belongs to the proper subfield $\F_q$ of $\F_{q^n}$, then…

We prove that, for any $\varepsilon>0$, the number of real quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})$ of discriminant $d<x$ whose class number is $\ll \sqrt{d}(\log{d})^{-2}(\log\log{d})^{-1}$ is at least $x^{1/2-\varepsilon}$ for $x$ large…

We study the arithmetic of degree $N-1$ Eisenstein cohomology classes for locally symmetric spaces associated to $\mathrm{GL}_N$ over an imaginary quadratic field $k$. Under natural conditions we evaluate these classes on $(N-1)$-cycles…

Let $K$ be an infinite field and let $I = (f_1,\cdots,f_r)$ be an ideal in the polynomial ring $R = K[x_1,\cdots,x_n]$ generated by generic forms of degrees $d_1,\cdots,d_r$. A longstanding conjecture by Fr\"{o}berg predicts the shape of…

The main motivation for this article is to explore the connections between the existence of certain combinatorial patterns (as in van der Corputs's theorem on arithmetic progressions of length $3$) with well-known tools and theorems for…

In an earlier paper, we determined the finite fields with indecomposable multiplicative groups and conjectured that there is no infinite field whose multiplicative group is indecomposable. In this paper, we prove this conjecture for several…

This paper, together with a forthcoming paper by the author and Seitz, proves the Margulis-Platonov conjecture concerning the normal subgroup structure of algebraic groups over number fields, in the case of inner forms of anisotropic groups…

Given a number field, it is an important question in algorithmic number theory to determine all its subfields. If the search is restricted to abelian subfields, one can try to determine them by using class field theory. For this, it is…

We discuss continued fractions on real quadratic number fields of class number 1. If the field has the property of being 2-stage euclidean, a generalization of the euclidean algorithm can be used to compute these continued fractions.…

We produce an explicit family of totally real cyclic quartic polynomials that are monogenic in many cases and, if the $abc$ conjecture holds, generate distinct monogenic quartic fields infinitely often. Additional families (also…

We prove a function field analogue of Maynard's result about primes with restricted digits. That is, for certain ranges of parameters n and q, we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of irreducible polynomials of degree n over a…

For two countably infinite fields whose multiplicative groups are isomorphic, we examine invariant couplings between the actions that these groups induce on the additive Pontryagin duals of the fields. We show that the actions are disjoint…

We prove Iitaka's $C_{n,m}$ conjecture for $3$-folds over the algebraic closure of finite fields. Along the way we prove some results on the birational geometry of log surfaces over nonclosed fields and apply these to existence of relative…

Based on results obtained in a companion paper [MSRI preprint 1997-002], we construct groups of special $S$--units for function fields of characteristic $p>0$, and show that they satisfy Gras--type Conjectures. We use these results in order…

We consider the problem of determining whether a given prime p is a congruent number. We present an easily computed criterion that allows us to conclude that certain primes for which congruency was previously undecided, are in fact not…
