We classify Artin-Schreier extensions of valued fields with non-trivial defect according to whether they are connected with purely inseparable extensions with non-trivial defect, or not. We use this classification to show that in positive…
We obtain new bounds on some trilinear and quadrilinear character sums, which are non-trivial starting from very short ranges of the variables. An application to an apparently new problem on oscillations of characters on differences between…
We estimate mixed character sums of polynomial values over elements of a finite field $\mathbb F_{q^r}$ with sparse representations in a fixed ordered basis over the subfield $\mathbb F_q$. First we use a combination of the…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve with complex multiplication by a ring $R$, where $R$ is an order in an imaginary quadratic field or quaternion algebra. We define sesquilinear pairings ($R$-linear in one variable and $R$-conjugate linear in the…
Motivated by some recent developments in abstract theories of quadratic forms, we start to develop in this work an expansion of Linear Algebra to multivalued structures (a multialgebraic structure is essentially an algebraic structure but…
We prove a new formula for the generating function of polynomials counting absolutely stable representations of quivers over finite fields. The case of irreducible representations is studied in more detail.
We present a form convergence theorem for sequences of sectorial forms and their associated semigroups in a complex Hilbert space. Roughly speaking, the approximating forms $a_n$ are all `bounded below' by the limiting form $a$, but in…
We introduce the notion of semi-characteristic polynomial for a semi-linear map of a finite- dimensional vector space over a field of characteristic p. This polynomial has some properties in common with the classical characteristic…
We describe the "generic" part of the character ring of general linear groups over a finite field in terms of quiver representations.
A characterization of the general linear equation in standard form admitting a maximal symmetry algebra is obtained in terms of a simple set of conditions relating the coefficients of the equation. As a consequence, it is shown that in its…
The main objective of this article is to study the exponential sums associated to Fourier coefficients of modular forms supported at numbers having a fixed set of prime factors. This is achieved by establishing an improvement on…
In this paper we study the set of rational solutions of equations defined by power sums symmetric polynomials with coefficients in a finite field. We do this by means of applying a methodology which relies on the study of the geometry of…
Canonical matrices of (a) bilinear and sesquilinear forms, (b) pairs of forms, in which every form is symmetric or skew-symmetric, and (c) pairs of Hermitian forms are given over finite fields of characteristic not 2 and over finite…
We provide a systematic study of sesquilinear hermitian forms and a new proof of the calculus of some exponential sums defined with quadratic hermitian forms. The computation of the number of solutions of equations such as Tr(f(x)+v.x)=0 or…
In this paper we define a notion of Witt group for sesquilinear forms in hermitian categories, which in turn provides a notion of Witt group for sesquilinear forms over rings with involution. We also study the extension of scalars for…
In this paper we prove an identity in terms of generating functions which enables us to calculate the numbers of isomorphism classes of absolutely indecomposable semistable representations of quivers over finite fields.
The problem of expressing a specific polynomial as the determinant of a square matrix of affine-linear forms arises from algebraic geometry, optimisation, complexity theory, and scientific computing. Motivated by recent developments in this…
We investigate generalized quadratic forms with values in the set of rational integers over quadratic fields. We characterize the real quadratic fields which admit a positive definite binary generalized form of this type representing every…
We study a mass formula for Artin--Schreier curves of genus $g$ defined over a finite field $k$ of characteristic $p$. For an odd prime $p$ and for small $g$, we determine the number of $k$-isomorphism classes of Artin-Schreier curves of…
We devise a method that reduces the problem of classifying systems of forms and linear mappings to the problem of classifying systems of linear mappings. Canonical matrices of (i) bilinear or sesquilinear forms, (ii) pairs of symmetric,…
