In this paper, for a given Dirichlet character mod $N$ with $4\nmid N$, we give a lower bound of order $\sqrt{s/\log(s)}$ for the dimension of the $\mathbb{Q}(e^{2i\pi/N})$-vector space spanned by the values of its $L$-function at integers…

The grouplike elements of a coalgebra over a field are known to be linearly independent over said field. Here we prove three variants of this result. One is a generalization to coalgebras over a commutative ring (in which case the linear…

This paper studies Linear Temporal Logic over Finite Traces (LTLf) where proposition letters are replaced with first-order formulas interpreted over arbitrary theories, in the spirit of Satisfiability Modulo Theories. The resulting logic,…

The paper generalizes Lazarus Fuchs' theorem on the solutions of complex ordinary linear differential equations with regular singularities to the case of ground fields of arbitrary characteristic, giving a precise description of the shape…

A well-known conjecture of Gross and Zagier states that the values of the higher automorphic Green's function at pairs of points with complex multiplication in the upper half-plane are proportional to the logarithm of an algebraic number.…

Justification logics are an explication of modal logic; boxes are replaced with proof terms formally through realisation theorems. This can be achieved syntactically using a cut-free proof system e.g. using sequent, hypersequent or nested…

We give a new proof of Fitzgerald's criterion for primitive polynomials over a finite field. Existing proofs essentially use the theory of linear recurrences over finite fields. Here, we give a much shorter and self-contained proof which…

We solve the classical square-lattice dimer model with periodic boundaries and in the presence of a field $\boldsymbol{t}$ that couples to the (vector) flux, by diagonalizing a modified version of Lieb's transfer matrix. After deriving the…

We review some independence results in a finite axiom-schematization of classical first-order logic introduced by Norman Megill. We also prove that a certain axiom scheme of this system is independent although all of its instances are…

For each central essential hyperplane arrangement $\mathcal{A}$ over an algebraically closed field, let $Z_\mathcal{A}^{\hat\mu}(T)$ denote the Denef-Loeser motivic zeta function of $\mathcal{A}$. We prove a formula expressing…

Algebraic logic studies algebraic theories related to proposition and first-order logic. A new algebraic approach to first-order logic is sketched in this paper. We introduce the notion of a quantifier theory, which is a functor from the…

Motivated by Kapranov's discovery of an sh Lie algebra structure on the tangent complex of a K\"{a}hler manifold and Chen-Sti\'{e}non-Xu's construction of sh Leibniz algebras associated with a Lie pair, we find a general method to construct…

Let $K$ be a field, and $A=K[a_1,\ldots ,a_n]$ a solvable polynomial algebra in the sense of [K-RW, {\it J. Symbolic Comput.}, 9(1990), 1--26]. Based on the Gr\"obner basis theory for $A$ and for free modules over $A$, an elimination theory…

In this short note, we give a localized version of the basic triangle theorem, first published in 2011 (see [4]) in order to prove the independence of hyperlogarithms over various function fields. This version provides direct access to…

A comparison of Landin's form of lambda calculus with Church's shows that, independently of the lambda calculus, there exists a mechanism for converting functions with arguments indexed by variables to the usual kind of function where the…

The Riemann Hypothesis can be reformulated as statements about the eigenvalues of certain matrices whose entries are defined in terms of the Taylor coefficients of the zeta function. These eigenvalues exhibit interesting visual patterns…

Category theory gives a mathematical characterization of naturality but not of canonicity. The purpose of this paper is to develop the logical theory of canonical maps based on the broader demonstration that the dual notions of elements &…

A new proof is given for the correctness of the powers of two descent method for computing discrete logarithms. The result is slightly stronger than the original work, but more importantly we provide a unified geometric argument,…

We study languages over infinite alphabets equipped with some structure that can be tested by recognizing automata. We develop a framework for studying such alphabets and the ensuing automata theory, where the key role is played by an…

A set of real $n$th roots that is pairwise linearly independent over the rationals must also be linearly independent. We show how this result may be extended to more general fields.
