Let $(K, v)$ be a Henselian discrete valued field with residue field $\widehat K$ of characteristic $q \ge 0$, and Brd$_{p}(K)$ be the Brauer $p$-dimension of $K$, for each prime $p$. The present paper shows that if $p = q$, then…

In recent decades, the defect of finite extensions of valued fields has emerged as the main obstacle in several fundamental problems in algebraic geometry such as the local uniformization problem. Hence, it is important to identify…

For a knot $K\subset S^3$, its exterior $E(K) = S^3\backslash\eta(K)$ has a singular foliation by Seifert surfaces of $K$ derived from a circle-valued Morse function $f\colon E(K)\to S^1$. When $f$ is self-indexing and has no critical…

In this paper we study the rank one discrete valuations of $k((X_1,... ,X_n))$ whose center in $k\lcor\X\rcor$ is the maximal ideal $(\X)$. In sections 2 to 6 we give a construction of a system of parametric equations describing such…

Let $G = (V,E)$ be a graph and $k \ge 0$ an integer. A $k$-independent set $S \subseteq V$ is a set of vertices such that the maximum degree in the graph induced by $S$ is at most $k$. With $\alpha_k(G)$ we denote the maximum cardinality of…

Let A be an abelian variety defined over a number field k and F a finite Galois extension of k. Let p be a prime number. Then under certain not-too-stringent conditions on A and F we investigate the explicit Galois structure of the…

In this paper we give a different approach to determining the cardinality of $h$-fold sumsets $hA$ when $A\subset \mathbb{Z}^d$ has $d+2$ elements. This enables us to provide more general result with a shorter and simpler proof. We also…

For a subset A of a field F, write A(A + 1) for the set {a(b + 1):a,b\in A}. We establish new estimates on the size of A(A+1) in the case where F is either a finite field of prime order, or the real line. In the finite field case we show…

Let k be a field, let G be an affine algebraic k-group and V a finite-dimensional G-module. We say V is rigid if the socle series and radical series coincide for the action of G on each indecomposable summand of V; say V is geometrically…

Let $S \subset {\mathbb R}^d$ be contained in the unit ball. Let $\Delta(S)=\{||a-b||:a,b \in S\}$, the Euclidean distance set of $S$. Falconer conjectured that the $\Delta(S)$ has positive Lebesque measure if the Hausdorff dimension of $S$…

Let $H$ be an atomic monoid. The set of distances $\Delta (H)$ of $H$ is the set of all $d \in \mathbb{N}$ with the following property: there are irreducible elements $u\_1, \ldots, u\_k, v\_1 \ldots, v\_{k+d}$ such that $u\_1 \cdot \ldots…

The tree-depth of $G$ is the smallest value of $k$ for which a labeling of the vertices of $G$ with elements from $\{1,\dots,k\}$ exists such that any path joining two vertices with the same label contains a vertex having a higher label.…

An $m \times n$ matrix $\mathsf{A}$ with column supports $\{S_i\}$ is $k$-separable if the disjunctions $\bigcup_{i \in \mathcal{K}} S_i$ are all distinct over all sets $\mathcal{K}$ of cardinality $k$. While a simple counting bound shows…

A subset $D\subseteq V(G)$ is called a $k$-distance dominating set of $G$ if every vertex in $V(G)\setminus D$ is within distance $k$ from some vertex of $D$. The minimum cardinality among all $k$-distance dominating sets of $G$ is called…

We propose a notion of depth with respect to a finite family $\mathcal{F}$ of convex sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$ which we call $\text{dep}_\mathcal{F}$. We begin showing that $\text{dep}_\mathcal{F}$ satisfies some expected properties for a…

Let $\Delta$ be a simplicial complex. We study the expansions of $\Delta$ mainly to see how the algebraic and combinatorial properties of $\Delta$ and its expansions are related to each other. It is shown that $\Delta$ is Cohen-Macaulay,…

I prove that if $\emptyset \neq K \subset \mathbb{R}^{2}$ is a compact $s$-Ahlfors-David regular set with $s \geq 1$, then $$\dim_{\mathrm{p}} D(K) = 1,$$ where $D(K) := \{|x - y| : x,y \in K\}$ is the distance set of $K$, and…

Normal bases in finite fields constitute a vast topic of large theoretical and practical interest. Recently, $k$-normal elements were introduced as a natural extension of normal elements. The existence and the number of $k$-normal elements…
