We extend to characteristic two recent results about isotropy of quadratic forms over function fields. In particular, we provide a characterization of function fields not only of quadratic forms but also more generally of polynomials in…
The object of this contribution is twofold. On one hand, it rises some general questions concerning the definition of the electromagnetic field and its intrinsic properties, and it proposes concepts and ways to answer them. On the other…
We classify fields having finitely many finite non-commutative (not necessarily central) division algebras over them. In the process, we introduce the notion of anti-closure of a field and also make comments on fields having a linear…
In this article we prove lower and upper bounds for class numbers of algebraic curves defined over finite fields. These bounds turn out to be better than most of the previously known bounds obtained using combinatorics. The methods used in…
We give lower bounds for the degree of multiplicative combinations of iterates of rational functions (with certain exceptions) over a general field, establishing the multiplicative independence of said iterates. This leads to a…
In this paper we deal with composite rational functions having zeros and poles forming consecutive elements of an arithmetic progression. We also correct a result published earlier related to composite rational functions having a fixed…
We show that the semi-simplicity conjecture for finitely generated fields follows from the conjunction of the semi-simplicity conjecture for finite fields and for the maximal abelian extension of the field of rational numbers.
Taylor expansions of analytic functions are considered with respect to two points. Cauchy-type formulas are given for coefficients and remainders in the expansions, and the regions of convergence are indicated. It is explained how these…
We present a simple proof of the well-known fact concerning the number of solutions of diagonal equations over finite fields. In a similar manner, we give an alternative proof of the recent result on generalizations of Carlitz equations. In…
Planar functions over finite fields give rise to finite projective planes and other combinatorial objects. They were originally defined only in odd characteristic, but recently Zhou introduced a definition in even characteristic which…
We establish the equivalence of three notions of $\mathbb{F}_q$-rational points on weighted projective spaces $\mathbb{P}_{\mathbf{w}}^n$ and derive explicit combinatorial formulas for their enumeration, leveraging Burnside's lemma and gcd…
Using properties of Gauss and Jacobi sums, we derive explicit formulas for the number of solutions to a diagonal equation of the form $x_1^{2^m}+\dots+x_n^{2^m}=0$ over a finite field of characteristic $p\equiv\pm 3\pmod{8}$. All of the…
We study mixed multiquadratic field extensions as splitting fields for central simple algebras of exponent $2$ in characteristic $2$. As an application, we provide examples of nonexcellent mixed biquadratic field extensions.
We give a method for constructing Kummer covers with many points over finite fields.
A Kloosterman refinement for function fields $K=\mathbb{F}_q(t)$ is developed and used to establish the quantitative arithmetic of the set of rational points on a smooth complete intersection of two quadrics $X\subset \mathbb{P}^{n-1}_{K}$…
The generic structure of 4-point functions of fields residing in indecomposable representations of arbitrary rank is given. The used algorithm is described and we present all results for Jordan-rank $r=2$ and $r=3$ where we make use of…
Let $\mathbb F_q$ denote the finite field with $q$ elements. In this paper we use the relationship between suitable polynomials and number of rational points on algebraic curves to give the exact number of elements $a\in \mathbb F_q$ for…
We define two versions of compositions of matrix-valued rational functions of appropriate sizes and whenever analytic at infinity, offer a set of formulas for the corresponding state-space realization, in terms of the realizations of the…
A formula for calculating Extensions of (mainly integral) Polynomial Functors is established, based upon projective resolutions. Sample computations are performed, which, in particular, exhibit a surprising non-trivial extension of Divided…
We establish a quantitative approximation formula of the Lyapunov exponent of a rational function of degree more than one over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$ that is complete with respect to a non-trivial and possibly…
