For pure extensions $K=\mathbb{Q}(\alpha)$ with $\alpha^n=m$, we give a short proof, based only on Dedekind's index theorem, of the $\alpha$-monogeneity criterion: $\mathbb{Z}[\alpha]=\mathcal{O}_K$ if and only if $m$ is square-free and…

We show that a positive proportion of quartic fields are not monogenic, despite having no local obstruction to being monogenic. Our proof builds on the corresponding result for cubic fields that we obtained in a previous work. Along the…

Let $m$ be a square-free positive integer, $m\equiv 2,3 \; (\bmod \; 4)$. We show that the number field $K=Q(i,\sqrt[4]{m})$ is non-monogene, that is it does not admit any power integral bases of type $\{1,\alpha,\ldots,\alpha^7\}$. In this…

We show that a positive proportion of cubic fields are not monogenic, despite having no local obstruction to being monogenic. Our proof involves the comparison of $2$-descent and $3$-descent in a certain family of Mordell curves $E_k \colon…

Given systems of two (inhomogeneous) quadratic equations in four variables, it is known that the Hasse principle for integral points may fail. Sometimes this failure can be explained by some integral Brauer-Manin obstruction. We study the…

In the present paper we investigate generalizations of O'Hara's M\"obius energy on curves \cite{ohara_1991a}, to M\"obius-invariant energies on non-smooth subsets of $\R^n$ of arbitrary dimension and co-dimension. In particular, we show…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$, let G=GL_n be the general linear group over $k$, let g=gl_n be its Lie algebra and let $D_s$ be subalgebra of the divided power algebra of g^* spanned by the divided power…

We construct two new one-parameter families of monotonicity formulas to study the free boundary points in the lower dimensional obstacle problem. The first one is a family of Weiss type formulas geared for points of any given homogeneity…

Let $m$ be a rational integer with $m \neq 0, \pm 1$, and consider the pure number field $K = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[n]{m})$ with $n \ge 3$. Most papers discussing the monogenity of pure number fields focus exclusively on the case where $m$ is…

The presence of inhomogeneities modifies the cosmic distances through the gravitational lensing effect, and, indirectly, must affect the main cosmological tests. Assuming that the dark energy is a smooth component, the simplest way to…

We establish effective versions of Oppenheim's conjecture for generic inhomogeneous quadratic forms. We prove such results for fixed shift vectors and generic quadratic forms. When the shift is rational we prove a counting result which…

Let $K = \mathbb{Q} (\alpha) $ be a pure number field generated by a complex root $\alpha$ of a monic irreducible polynomial $ F(x) = x^{2^u\cdot 3^v}-m$, with $m \neq \pm 1$ a square free rational integer, $u$, and $v$ two positive…

Let $0,1\ne m\in Z$ and $\alpha=\sqrt[8]{m}$. According to the results of I. Ga\'al and L. El Fadil, $\alpha$ generates a power integral basis in $K=Q(\alpha)$, if and only if $m$ is square-free and $m\not\equiv 1\;(\bmod\; 4)$. In the…

We prove a geometric local constancy theorem for affine Springer fibers in families of close local fields. Consequently, stable orbital integrals are locally constant in these families, and both the base change fundamental lemma and the…

In all available papers, on power integral bases of pure octic number fields $K$, generated by a root $\alpha$ of a monic irreducible polynomial $f(x)=x^8-m\in\mathbf Z[x]$, it was assumed that $m\neq \pm 1$ is square free. In this paper,…

An integer may be represented by a quadratic form over each ring of p-adic integers and over the reals without being represented by this quadratic form over the integers. More generally, such failure of a local-global principle may occur…

We initiate a study of the local invariant cycle theorem with integral coefficients for 1-parameter semistable families of varieties. We show that it always holds for $H^1$, and it holds for $H^2$ if the general fiber has trivial Albanese…

Let $k\geq 2$ be a square-free integer. We prove that the number of square-free integers $m\in [1,N]$ such that $(k,m)=1$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{k^2m})$ is monogenic is $\gg N^{1/3}$ and $\ll N/(\log N)^{1/3-\epsilon}$ for any…

Let $I$ be a square-free monomial ideal in a polynomial ring $R=K[x_1,\ldots, x_n]$ over a field $K$, $\mathfrak{m}=(x_1, \ldots, x_n)$ be the graded maximal ideal of $R$, and $\{u_1, \ldots, u_{\beta_1(I)}\}$ be a maximal independent set…

In this paper we provide a complete answer to a question by Heyman and Shparlinski concerning the natural density of polynomials which are irreducible by Eisenstein's criterion after applying some shift. The main tool we use is a local to…
