In 1980, Faltings proved, by deep local algebra methods, a local result regarding formal functions which has the following global geometric fact as a consequence. Theorem: Let k be an algebraically closed field (of any characteristic). Let…

The main result of the present paper is about the solutions of the functional equation \Eq{*}{ F\Big(\frac{x+y}2\Big)+f_1(x)+f_2(y)=G(g_1(x)+g_2(y)),\qquad x,y\in I, } derived originally, in a natural way, from the invariance problem of…

Planar functions are mappings from a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ to itself with an extremal differential property. Such functions give rise to finite projective planes and other combinatorial objects. There is a subtle difference between…

Arakeljan's Theorem provides conditions on a relatively closed subset $F$ of a domain $G\subset\mathbb{C}$, such that any continuous function $f:F\rightarrow\mathbb{C}$ that is analytic in $F^\circ$, can be approximated by analytic…

We prove that if a continuous function $f : X \to f(X)$ takes open sets into elements of the Boolean algebra generated by open and closed subsets in $f(X)$, then there exist $X_n \subset X,$ $(n \in \omega)$ such that $f$ is open on every…

We give a new proof of the result that if f and g are transcendental entire functions, then the composite function f(g) has infinitely many fixed points. The method yields a number of generalization of this result. In particular, it extends…

In this paper, we consider rational functions $f$ with some minor restrictions over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q^n},$ where $q=p^k$ for some prime $p$ and positive integer $k$. We establish a sufficient condition for the existence of a…

Let $f, g: \mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}$ be two submersion functions and $\mathscr{F}(f)$ and $\mathscr{F}(g)$ be the regular foliations of $\mathbb{R}^2$ whose leaves are the connected components of the levels sets of $f$ and $g$,…

In this paper we study couples of finite separable extensions of the function field $\mathbb{F}_q(T)$ which are arithmetically equivalent, i.e. such that prime ideals of $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ decompose with the same inertia degrees in the two…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a countable collection of functions $f$ defined on the integers with integer values, such that for every $f\in \mathcal{F}$, $f(n)\to +\infty$ as $n\to +\infty$. This paper primarily investigates the Hausdorff dimension…

A function on an algebra is congruence preserving if, for any congruence, it maps pairs of congruent elements onto pairs of congruent elements. An algebra is said to be affine complete if every congruence preserving function is a polynomial…

Let $F$ be a totally real number field of class number one, and let $K$ be a CM-field with $F$ as its maximal real subfield. For each positive integer $N$, we construct a class group of certain binary quadratic forms over $F$ which is…

Given an integer $a\ge 1$, a function $f: \mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ is said to be $a$-subadditive if $$ f(ax+y) \le af(x)+f(y) \,\,\,\text{ for all }x,y \in \mathbb{R}. $$ Of course, $1$-subadditive functions (which correspond to ordinary…

A function on an algebra is congruence preserving if, for any congruence, it maps pairs of congruent elements onto pairs of congruent elements. We show that on the algebra of complete binary trees whose leaves are labeled by letters of an…

For the quantum integer $[n]_q = 1+q+...+q^{n-1}$ there is a natural polynomial multiplication $*_q$ such that $[m]_q *_q [n]_q = [mn]_q$. This multiplication leads to the functional equation $f_{mn}(q) = f_m(q)f_n(q^m),$ defined on a given…

Some subadditivity results involving symmetric (unitarily invariant) norms are obtained. For instance, if $g(t)=\sum_{k=0}^m a_kt^k$ is a polynomial of degree $m$ with non-negative coefficients, then, for all positive operators $A,\,B$ and…

In this paper we prove a new representation formula for slice regular functions, which shows that the value of a slice regular function $f$ at a point $q=x+yI$ can be recovered by the values of $f$ at the points $q+yJ$ and $q+yK$ for any…
