Motivated by recent works on statistics of matrices over sets of number theoretic interest, we study matrices with entries from arbitrary finite subsets $\mathcal A$ of finite rank multiplicative groups infields of characteristic zero. We…

We use a variation on Mason's $\alpha$-function as a pre-dimension function to construct a not one-based $\omega$-stable plane $P$ (i.e. a simple rank $3$ matroid) which does not admit an algebraic representation (in the sense of matroid…

We determine a new technique which allows the computation of the arithmetical rank of certain monomial ideals.

We describe a notion of (abstract) projective line over a field as a set equipped with a certain first order structure, and a projectivity between projective lines as a bijection preserving this structure. The structure in question is that…

We classify irreducible SL(2,K)-modules of low Morley rank (at most 4.rk(K)) as a first step towards a more general conjecture.

In recent work, we introduced a new semantics for conditionals, covering a large class of what we call preconditionals. In this paper, we undertake an axiomatic study of preconditionals and subclasses of preconditionals. We then prove that…

The point of view of these notes on the topic is to bring out the flavour that Representation Theory is an extension of the first course on Group Theory. We also emphasize the importance of the base field. These notes cover completely the…

We study the roots of a random polynomial over the field of $p$-adic numbers. For a random monic polynomial with i.i.d. coefficients in $\mathbb{Z}_p$, we obtain an estimate for the expected number of roots of this polynomial. In…

We construct parameterized families of imaginary (resp. real) quadratic fields whose class groups have $n$-rank at least $2$.

This paper deals with certain fundamental results about affine hulls and simplices in a real normed linear space. The framework of the paper is Bishop's constructive mathematics, which, with its characteristic interpretation of existence as…

This paper is a continuation of our previous works where we study maps from $X_0(N)$, $N \ge 1$, into $\mathbb P^2$ constructed via modular forms of the same weight and criteria that such a map is birational (see [12]). In the present paper…

We prove that for any prime $p$ the finite $p$-groups of fixed coclass have only finitely many different mod-$p$ cohomology rings between them. This was conjectured by Carlson; we prove it by first proving a stronger version for groups of…

We study the Orchard relation for generic configurations of points in the plane (also called order types). We introduce infinitesimally-close points and analyse the relation of this notion with the Orchard relation. The second part of the…

We prove existence of flips for log canonical foliated pairs of rank one on a Q-factorial projective klt threefold. This, in particular, provides a proof of the existence of a minimal model for a rank one foliation on a threefold for a…

We give a pen and paper and (comparatively) much simpler proof to verify of the Four Colour Theorem.

This paper deals with valuations of fields of formal meromorphic functions and their residue fields. We explicitly describe the residue fields of the monomial valuations. We also classify all the discrete rank one valuations of fields of…

We establish asymptotic upper bounds on the number of zeros modulo $p$ of certain polynomials with integer coefficients, with $p$ prime numbers arbitrarily large. The polynomials we consider have degree of size $p$ and are obtained by…

The girth of a matrix is the least number of linearly dependent columns, in contrast to the rank which is the largest number of linearly independent columns. This paper considers the construction of {\it high-girth} matrices, whose…

We note here, in answer to a question of Poizat, that the Morley and Lascar ranks need not coincide in differentially closed fields. We approach this through the (perhaps) more fundamental issue of the variation of Morley rank in families.

We use cell decomposition techniques to study additive reducts of p- adic fields. We consider a very general class of fields, including fields with infinite residue fields, which we study using a multi-sorted language. The results are used…
