Using a Zariski topology associated to a finite field extensions, we give new proofs and generalize the primitive and normal basis theorems.
Let $K$ be a totally real number field, $d$ a positive integer, and $Q$ a higher degree form over $K$. We prove that there are at most finitely many totally real extensions $L/K$ of degree $d$ such that $Q$ over $L$ is universal. Further,…
Structures based on polarities have been used to provide relational semantics for propositional logics that are modelled algebraically by non-distributive lattices with additional operators. This article develops a first order notion of…
We generalize a previous inequality related to a sharp version of the Littlewood conjecture on the minimal $L_1$-norm of $N$-term exponential sums $f$ on the unit circle. The new result concerns replacing the expression $\log(1+t|f|^2)$…
We show that any separated essentially finite-type map $f$ of noetherian schemes globally factors as $f = hi$ where $i$ is an injective localization map and $h$ a separated finite-type map. In particular, via Nagata's compactification…
We prove under some assumptions that the Tate conjecture holds for products of Fermat varieties of different degrees.
A convergence theorem for martingales with c\`adl\`ag trajectories (right continuous with left limits everywhere) is obtained in the sense of the weak dual topology on Hilbert space, under conditions that are much weaker than those required…
Generalised Probabilistic Theories (GPTs) provide a unifying framework encompassing classical theories, quantum theories, as well as hypothetical alternatives. We investigate the problem of extending a system with a finite set of…
We prove a modularity lifting theorem for potentially Barostti-Tate representations over totally real fields, generalising recent results of Kisin. Unfortunately, there was an error in the original version of this paper, meaning that we can…
We consider two generalizations of Pollack's uncertainty principle for M\"obius inversion to locally finite posets. The first generalization was previously studied by Goh. Here, we provide a simplified sufficient criterion for the…
We show that the height of a variety over a finitely generated field of characteristic zero can be written as an integral of local heights over the set of places of the field. This allows us to apply our previous work on toric varieties and…
We consider an extended theory of gravity with Lagrangian $\mathcal{L} = f(R,{\bf T}^{(n)})$, with ${\bf T}^{(n)}$ being a $2n$-th order invariant made of contractions of the energy-momentum tensor. When $n=1$ this theory reduces to…
In this third paper in a series on type I Howe duality for finite fields, we give a complete description of the restriction of the oscillator representation over a finite field to products of dual pairs of symplectic and orthogonal groups…
We prove a version of Garaev's sum product theorem in the set of finite fields with non-prime order. Because of the presence of subfields, this seems to require some hypotheses on the set. We work under a condition analogous to having…
The Weak Gravity Conjecture (WGC) is a proposed constraint on theories with gauge fields and gravity, requiring the existence of light charged particles and/or imposing an upper bound on the field theory cutoff $\Lambda$. If taken as a…
We present a construction of a certain infinite complete partial order (CPO) that differs from the standard construction used in Scott's denotational semantics. In addition, we construct several other infinite CPO's. For some of those, we…
We use the framework of relativistic and non-relativistic conformal field theories (CFT) to derive general results relevant for the production of weakly coupled and strongly coupled dark sectors through thermal interactions. Our result…
We consider a weak version of the Rost Nilpotence Principle. For characteristic zero fields k, we show that if it holds for all smooth projective schemes over k, then the Rost Nilpotence Principle does also. We also correct the proof of a…
It is shown that the previous [1-3] generalization of the final-value theorem to the average (not necessarily limiting) values, can be extended to the higher-order running averages $(<>_{t}), lim_{s\rightarrow0}[sF(s)] =…
We present a new structure theorem for finite fields of odd order that relates multiplicative and additive structure in an interesting way. This theorem has several applications, including an improved understanding of Dickson and Chebyshev…
