In 2014, Juul, Kurlberg, Madhu and Tucker asked the following: given $K$ a number field and $f$ a rational function with coefficients in $K$, if $f_\mathfrak{p}$ denotes the reduction of $f$ modulo a prime ideal $\mathfrak{p}$ in the ring…
We study minimal del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1 with a conic bundle over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ according to the action of the absolute Galois group on the singular fibers (which is known as their type). We give a lower bound on the…
Let K be a complete, algebraically closed nonarchimedean valued field, and let f(z) in K(z) be a rational function of degree d at least 2. We give an algorithm to determine whether f(z) has potential good reduction over K, based on a…
We study the scattering poles of $\sqrt{-\Delta} + V$, where $V$ is a compactly supported, bounded and complex valued potential. We show that the resolvent operator $ \chi R_V \chi$ has a meromorphic continuation to the whole Riemannian…
We provide upper bounds for the sum of the multiplicities of the non-constant irreducible factors that appear in the canonical decomposition of a polynomial $f(X)\in\mathbb{Z}[X]$, in case all the roots of $f$ lie inside an Apollonius…
Given a prime $p\ge5$ and an integer $s\ge1$, we show that there exists an integer $M$ such that for any quadratic polynomial $f$ with coefficients in the ring of integers modulo $p^s$, such that $f$ is not a square, if a sequence…
Since the work by Denef, $p$-adic cell decomposition provides a well-established method to study $p$-adic and motivic integrals. In this paper, we present a variant of this method that keeps track of existential quantifiers. This enables us…
Let $\mathcal{F}_{n}^*$ be the set of Boolean functions depending on all $n$ variables. We prove that for any $f\in \mathcal{F}_{n}^*$, $f|_{x_i=0}$ or $f|_{x_i=1}$ depends on the remaining $n-1$ variables, for some variable $x_i$. This…
We study how adding certain poles to rational harmonic functions of the form $R(z)-\bar{z}$, with $R(z)$ rational and of degree $d\geq 2$, affects the number of zeros of the resulting functions. Our results are motivated by and generalize a…
Let $\mathcal{V}_p(\lambda)$ be the collection of all functions $f$ defined in the unit disc $\ID$ having a simple pole at $z=p$ where $0<p<1$ and analytic in $\ID\setminus\{p\}$ with $f(0)=0=f'(0)-1$ and satisfying the differential…
Let R=K[M] be a normal affine monoid algbera over a field K.Up to isomorphism the conic ideals are exactly the direct summands ofthe extension R^{1/n} of R. We show that the classes of the conic divisorial ideals can be identified with the…
In this brief note, we consider p-adic unit roots or poles of L-functions of exponential sums defined over finite fields. In particular, we look at the number of unit roots or poles, and a congruence relation on the units. This raises a…
Let $R$ be a Dedekind ring, $\mathfrak{p}$ a nonzero prime ideal of $R$, $P\in R[X]$ a monic irreducible polynomial, and $K$ the quotient field of $R$. We give in this paper a lower bound for the $\mathfrak{p}$-adic valuation of the index…
Let f be a modular form of weight k>=2 and level N, let K be a quadratic imaginary field, and assume that there is a prime p exactly dividing N. Under certain arithmetic conditions on the level and the field K, one can attach to this data a…
We introduce and study the minimum distance function of a graded ideal in a polynomial ring with coefficients in a field, and show that it generalizes the minimum distance of projective Reed-Muller-type codes over finite fields. This gives…
We establish a rigid-analytic analog of the Pila-Wilkie counting theorem, giving sub-polynomial upper bounds for the number of rational points in the transcendental part of a $\mathbb{Q}_p$-analytic set, and the number of rational functions…
We show that the analytic continuations of Helson zeta functions $ \zeta_\chi (s)= \sum_1^{\infty}\chi(n)n^{-s} $ can have essentially arbitrary poles and zeroes in the strip $ 21/40 < \Re s < 1 $ (unconditionally), and in the whole…
Let $K$ be a local field and $f(x)\in K[x]$ be a non-constant polynomial. The local zeta function $Z_f(s, \chi)$ was first introduced by Weil, then studied in detail by Igusa. When ${\rm char}(K)=0$, Igusa proved that $Z_f(s, \chi)$ is a…
Define z to be the smallest cardinality of a function f:X->Y with X and Y sets of reals such that there is no Borel function g extending f. In this paper we prove that it is relatively consistent with ZFC to have b<z where b is, as usual,…
In this paper, we prove the rationality of Igusa's local zeta functions of semiquasihomogeneous polynomials with coefficients in a non-archimedean local field K. The proof of this result is based on Igusa's stationary phase formula and some…
