This note provides a computation of the bordism groups of K-Witt spaces for fields K with characteristic 2. We provide a complete computation for the unoriented bordism groups. For the oriented bordism groups, a nearly complete computation…

Let S be a symbol algebra. The trace form of S is computed and it is shown how this form can be used to determine whether S is a division algebra or not. In addition, the exterior powers of the trace form of S are computed.

For quadratic forms over fields of characteristic different from two, there is a so-called Vishik criterion, giving a purely algebraic characterization of when two quadratic forms are motivically equivalent. In analogy to that, we define…

In this paper we consider the linear second order partial differential equation with non-constant coefficients; then by using the double convolution product we produce new equations with polynomials coefficients and we classify the new…

An irreducible canonical approach to second-order reducible second-class constraints is given. The procedure is exemplified on gauge-fixed three-forms.

For a proper smooth variety of even dimension over a field of characteristic different from 2 or l, the second Stiefel-Whitney class of the l-adic cohomology and the second Hasse-Witt class of the de Rham cohomology are both defined in the…

We give formulas for the numbers of type II and type IV hyperbolic components in the space of quadratic rational maps, for all fixed periods of attractive cycles.

We study invariant Hermitian forms on a conformal vertex algebra and on their (twisted) modules. We establish existence of a non-zero invariant Hermitian form on an arbitrary $W$-algebra. We show that for a minimal simple $W$-algebra…

Second-order automorphic forms are similar to the usual automorphic forms but have a weaker automorphy condition. We answer a question of Zagier and find the dimensions of spaces of holomorphic, even weight, second-order forms. We also…

An $n$-dimensional Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ over a field $\mathbb{F}$ of characteristic two is said to be of Vergne type if there is a basis $e_1,\dots,e_n$ such that $[e_1,e_i]=e_{i+1}$ for all $2\leq i \leq n-1$ and $[e_i,e_j] =…

This paper explores quadratic forms over finite fields with associated Artin-Schreier curves. Specifically, we investigate quadratic forms of $\mathbb F_{q^n}/\mathbb F_q$ represented by polynomials over $\mathbb F_{q^n}$ with $q$ odd,…

We extend R. Fernandes' construction of secondary characteristic classes of a Lie algebroid to the case of a base-preserving morphism between two Lie algebroids. Like in the case of a Lie algebroid, the simplest characteristic class of our…

We give a short and purely bilinear proof of the fact that two chains of $p$-elementary lattices with quadratic form or alternating bilinear form over the $p$-adic integers ore more generally over a complete discrete valuation ring have…

We show the existence of formal equivalences between reversible and Hamiltonian vector fields. The main tool we employ is the normal form theory.

We show that there are only finitely many nonconstant reflective automorphic forms $\Psi$ on even lattices of squarefree level splitting two hyperbolic planes and give a complete classification in the case where the zeros of $\Psi$ are…

A (positive definite integral) quadratic form is called almost 2-universal if it represents all (positive definite integral) binary quadratic forms except those in only finitely many equivalence classes. Oh [7] determined all almost…

We give a geometric criterion which shows p-parabolicity of a class of submanifolds in a Riemannian manifold, with controlled second fundamental form, for p bigger or equal than 2.

Generalizing a theorem of Springer, we construct an extended Arason filtration by subgroups for the Witt group of quadratic forms of a general valued field, relating these subgroups with Witt-like groups of the residue field, in arbitrary…

We derive an upper bound for the least number of variables needed to guarantee that a system of t quadratic forms (t>=2) over a field F has a nontrivial zero. In particular, if F is a local field, then 2t^2+3 variables insure the existence…

In this article, we give a new method for proving Howe correspondence in the case of dual pairs of type $({\rm GL}_n, {\rm GL}_m)$ over a non-Archimedean locally compact field $F$. The proof consists in combining a study on Kudla's…
