Let X be a set definable in a sharply o-minimal structure. We consider the problem of counting the number of points where X intersects algebraic varieties V over Q of dimension k < codim X, as a function of T := deg(V) + h(V), where h(V) is…

We study the polynomial algebra (over a ring containing the rationals) in an n by m matrix of variables, and subject to the relation that says that the product of any two variables in the same column is zero. We show that the sub-algebra of…

Given a numerical semigroup ring $R=k[\![S]\!]$, an ideal $E$ of $S$ and an odd element $b \in S$, the numerical duplication $S \! \Join^b \! E$ is a numerical semigroup, whose associated ring $k[\![S \! \Join^b \! E]\!]$ shares many…

A fundamental theorem of linear algebra asserts that every basis for the vector space $\mathbb{R}^n$ has $n$ elements. In this expository note we present a theorem of W. G. Leavitt describing one way in which this invariant basis number…

The aim of this work is to study the ring-theoretic properties of the diagonals of a Rees algebra, which from a geometric point of view are the homogeneous coordinate rings of embeddings of blow-ups of projective varieties along a…

Let N be a square-free positive integer and let f be a newform of weight 2 on \Gamma_0(N). Let A denote the abelian subvariety of J_0(N) associated to f and let m be a maximal ideal of the Hecke algebra T that contains Ann_T(f) and has…

We construct a set of points with $\Omega(n^2\log n)$ triples determining an angle $\theta$ whenever $\tan(\theta)$ is algebraic over $\mathbb{Q}$, matching the upper bound of Pach and Sharir. This improves upon the original construction,…

Polynomial algorithms are given for the following two problems: given a graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, where $m \ge 3 n^{3/2}$, find a complete balanced bipartite subgraph with parts about $\ln n/(\ln (n^2/m))$, given a graph with…

Given a trivially graded polynomial ring $A=K[a_1,\dots,a_m]$ over a field $K$ and a positively graded polynomial ring $P=A[x_1,\dots,x_k]$, we study graded rings $R=P/I$, where $I$ is a homogeneous ideal in $P$ such that $I\cap A = \{0\}$.…

Let $X$ be an algebraic variety over a finite field $\bF_q$, homogeneous under a linear algebraic group. We show that the number of rational points of $X$ over $\bF_{q^n}$ is a periodic polynomial function of $q^n$ with integer…

We construct an explicit bijection between bipartite pointed maps of an arbitrary surface $\mathbb{S}$, and specific unicellular blossoming maps of the same surface. Our bijection gives access to the degrees of all the faces, and distances…

The spread between two lines in rational trigonometry replaces the concept of angle, allowing the complete specification of many geometrical and dynamical situations which have traditionally been viewed approximately. This paper…

Counterparts of several classical results of number theory are proven for the ring of polynomials with coefficients in a number field. A theorem of Milnor that determines the Witt ring of a function field is applied to prove an analogue of…

Two families $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ of sets are said to be cross-intersecting if each member of $\mathcal{A}$ intersects each member of $\mathcal{B}$. For any two integers $n$ and $k$ with $0 \leq k \leq n$, let ${[n] \choose \leq…

Let $k \subset K$ be an extension of fields, and let $A \subset M_{n}(K)$ be a $k$-algebra. We study parameter spaces of $m$-dimensional subspaces of $K^{n}$ which are invariant under $A$. The space $\mathbb{F}_{A}(m,n)$, whose $R$-rational…

Let $V$ be a vector space of dimension $N$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ and $T$ be a linear operator on $V$. Given an integer $m$ that divides $N$, an $m$-dimensional subspace $W$ of $V$ is $T$-splitting if $V=W\oplus TW\oplus…
