We study bipartite maps on the plane with one infinite face and one face of perimeter 2. At first we consider the problem of their enumeration an then study the connection between the combinatorial structure of a map and the degree of its…

This paper is originally designed as a part of revision of the author's preprint math.AG/9908174 "P-adic Schwarzian triangle groups of Mumford type". Recently, Yves Andr'e pointed out a flaw in that preprint; more precisely, Proposition II…

We formalize an existing computability-theoretic method of presenting first-order structures whose domains have the cardinality of the continuum. Work using these methods until now has emphasized their topological properties. We shift the…

We present a reduction of the function field Mordell-Lang conjecture to the function field Manin-Mumford conjecture, in all characteristics, via model theory, but avoiding recourse to the dichotomy theorems for (generalized) Zariski…

For polynomials of degree two over finite fields, we present an improvement of Fitzgerald's characterization (Finite Fields Appl. 9(1):117-121, 2003). We then use this new characterization to obtain an explicit, complete, and simple…

Let $X$ be a smooth and proper scheme over an algebraically closed field. The purpose of the current text is twofold. First, we construct the moduli stack parametrizing rank $n$ continuous $p$-adic representations of the \'etale fundamental…

In this paper we construct number fields ramified at 2 and 3 only, with various moderate-sized non-solvable Galois groups. We construct these fields by specializing three point covers, some from the literature and some new here. The…

Explicit monoid structure is provided for the class of canonical subfield preserving polynomials over finite fields. Some classical results and asymptotic estimates will follow as corollaries.

For any $n\geq 6$ we construct almost strongly minimal geometries of type $\bullet \overset{n}{-} \bullet \overset{n}{-}\bullet$ which are $2$-ample but not $3$-ample.

We introduce a direct image formalism for constructible motivic functions. One deduces a very general version of motivic integration for which a change of variables theorem is proved. These constructions are generalized to the relative…

The functional decomposition of polynomials has been a topic of great interest and importance in pure and computer algebra and their applications. The structure of compositions of (suitably normalized) polynomials f=g(h) over finite fields…

We lower bound the Faltings height of an abelian variety over a number field by the sum of its injectivity diameter and the norm of its bad reduction primes. It leads to an unconditional bound on the rank of Mordell-Weil groups. Assuming…

We study the model theory of the $2$-sorted structure $(\mathbb{F}, \mathbb{C};\chi)$, where $\mathbb{F}$ is an algebraic closure of a finite field of characteristic $p$, $\mathbb{C}$ is the field of complex numbers and $\chi: \mathbb{F}…

This is an introduction to author's ramification theory of a complete discrete valuation field with residue field whose p-basis consists of at most one element. New lower and upper filtrations are defined; cyclic extensions of degree p may…

The strength of a multivariate homogeneous polynomial is the minimal number of terms in an expression as a sum of products of lower-degree homogeneous polynomials. Partition rank is the analogue for multilinear forms. Both ranks can drop…

Let $\A$ be the incidence matrix of lines and points of the classical projective plane $PG(2,q)$ with $q$ odd. With respect to a conic in $PG(2,q)$, the matrix $\A$ is partitioned into 9 submatrices. The rank of each of these submatices…

For certain problems involving vector fields, it is possible to find an associated imaginary field that, in conjunction with the first, forms a complex field for which the equation can be solved. This result is generalized to arbitrary…

Let $\mathcal M=(M,<,...)$ be a linearly ordered first-order structure and $T$ its complete theory. We investigate conditions for $T$ that could guarantee that $\mathcal M$ is not much more complex than some colored orders (linear orders…

In this paper we study plus-one generated arrangements of conics and lines in the complex projective plane with simple singularities. We provide several degree-wise classification results that allow us to construct explicit examples of such…

We examine the ranks of a subfamily of curves in a previous article, which are derived from the existence of solutions to certain Pell equations. We exhibit an abundance of curves of moderately large rank, and prove under mild conditions…
