Let $S(z)$ be an absolutely convergent Dirichlet series with a bounded spectrum and only real zeros $a_n$, let $\mu$ be the sum of unit masses at points $a_n$. It is proven that the Fourier transform $\hat\mu$ in the sense of distributions…
We consider a general solution of the Langevin equation describing massive fermions to an appropriate boundary problem. Assuming existence of such solution we show that its correlators coincide with the Schwinger functions of corresponding…
In this paper we study satisfiability of random equations in an infinite finitely generated nilpotent group G. We show that the set SAT(G,k) of all equations in k > 1 variables over G which are satisfiable in G has an intermediate…
We show the existence of and explicitly construct generic polynomials for various groups, over fields of positive characteristic. The methods we develop apply to a broad class of connected linear algebraic groups defined over finite fields…
We consider nonlinear parabolic equations of the type $$ u_t - div a(x, t, Du)= f(x,t) on \Omega_T = \Omega\times (-T,0), $$ under standard growth conditions on $a$, with $f$ only assumed to be integrable. We prove general decay estimates…
The goal of this article is to study some basic algebraic and combinatorial properties of "generalized $n$-series" over a commutative ring $R$, which are functions $s: \mathbf{Z}_{\geq 0} \to R$ satisfying a mild condition. A special…
We establish that the optimal bound for the size of the smallest integral solution of the Oppenheim Diophantine approximation problem $\abs{Q(x)-\xi}< \epsilon$ for a generic ternary form $Q$ is $\abs{x}\ll \epsilon^{-1}$. We also establish…
The main result of the present article is a proof of Fermat's Last Theorem for sufficiently large prime exponents $p$ with $p \equiv 2 \pmod{3}$ over certain number fields. A particular case of these fields are the maximal real subfields of…
By means of elementary conditions on coefficients, we isolate a large class of Fermat-like Diophantine equations that are not partition regular, the simplest examples being $x^n+y^m=z^k$ with $k\notin\{n,m\}$.
We obtain a global fractional Calder\'on-Zygmund regularity theory for the fractional Poisson problem. More precisely, for $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$, $N \geq 2$, a bounded domain with boundary $\partial \Omega$ of class $C^2$, $s \in…
We use the Aubry-Perret bound for singular curves, a generalization of the Hasse-Weil bound, to prove the following curious result about rational functions over finite fields: Let $f(X),g(X)\in\Bbb F_q(X)\setminus\{0\}$ be such that $q$ is…
Can any element in a sufficiently large finite field be represented as a sum of two $d$th powers in the field? In this article, we recount some of the history of this problem, touching on cyclotomy, Fermat's last theorem, and diagonal…
We prove averaging theorems for ordinary differential equations and retarded functional differential equations. Our assumptions are weaker than those required in the results of the existing literature. Usually, we require that the…
We prove generalized Gaffney inequalities and the discrete compactness for finite element differential forms on $s$-regular domains, including general Lipschitz domains. In computational electromagnetism, special cases of these results have…
We study the regularity of the law of a quadratic form $Q(X,X)$, evaluated in a sequence $X = (X_{i})$ of independent and identically distributed random variables, when $X_{1}$ can be expressed as a sufficiently smooth function of a…
We show that a Fuchsian differential equation having five regular singular points admits solutions in terms of a single generalized hypergeometric function for infinitely many particular choices of equation parameters. Each solution assumes…
We investigate fermionic quantum field theories using functional renormalisation. In the limit of many fermion flavours $N$, we demonstrate that theories have exact solutions for their quantum effective actions given by quasi-local…
Let $q$ be a prime power and, for each positive integer $n\ge 1$, let $\mathbb F_{q^n}$ be the finite field with $q^n$ elements. Motivated by the well known concept of normal elements over finite fields, Huczynska et al (2013) introduced…
We show that the multiple divisor functions of integers in invertible residue classes modulo a prime number, as well as the Fourier coefficients of GL(N) Maass cusp forms for all N larger than 2, satisfy a central limit theorem in a…
In this paper, we begin the study of the Fermat equation $x^n+y^n=z^n$ over real biquadratic fields. In particular, we prove that there are no non-trivial solutions to the Fermat equation over $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2},\sqrt{3})$ for $n\geq 4$.
