It is shown that over an arbitrary countable field, there exists a finitely generated algebra that is nil, infinite dimensional, and has Gelfand-Kirillov dimension at most three.
We produce curves with a record number of points over the finite fields with $4$, $9$, $16$ and $25$ elements, as unramified abelian covers of algebraic curves.
An equivalence is established between the category of at most $a$-ramified finite separable extensions of a complete discrete valuation field $K$ and the category of at most $a$-ramified finite extensions of the "length-$a$ truncation"…
An algebraic extension K of the rationals has the Bogomolov property if the absolute logarithmic height of non-torsion points of K* is bounded away from 0. We define a relative extension L/K to be Bogomolov if this holds for points of L\K.…
Fields with only finitely many maximal subrings are completely determined. We show that such fields are certain absolutely algebraic fields and give some characterization of them. In particular, we show that the following conditions are…
The maximum extensions of finite-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras are considered. In particular, it is proved that in the general case such an extension is not unique, which refutes one L. Snoble's assumption.
Building over recent results, we expand the basic theory of algebraic extensions to the realm of superfields -a field with multivalued sum and product-, showing that every superfield has a (unique up to isomorphism) strong algebraic…
We prove that a valued field of positive characteristic $p$ that has only finitely many distinct Artin-Schreier extensions (which is a property of infinite NTP$_2$ fields) is dense in its perfect hull. As a consequence, it is a deeply…
Given a prime $p$, a number field $\K$ and a finite set of places $S$ of $\K$, let $\K_S$ be the maximal pro-$p$ extension of $\K$ unramified outside $S$. Using the Golod-Shafarevich criterion one can often show that $\K_S/\K$ is infinite.…
We study systems of quadratic forms over fields and their isotropy over 2-extensions. We apply this to obtain particular splitting fields for quaternion algebras defined over a finite field extension. As a consequence, we obtain that every…
In order to prove irrationality of \sqrt{2} by using only decimal expansions (and not fractions), we develop in detail a model of real numbers based on infinite decimals and arithmetic operations with them.
The main result of this note is that there are at most seven rational points (including the one at infinity) on the curve C_A with the affine equation y^2 = x^5 + A (where A is a tenth power free integer) when the Mordell-Weil rank of the…
We give an upper bound on the number of rational points of an arbitrary Zariski closed subset of a projective space over a finite field. This bound depends only on the dimensions and degrees of the irreducible components and holds for very…
We compute the Galois group of the maximal 2-ramified pro-2-extension of a 2-rational number field
We calculate the number of the isomorphism class of the finite flat models over the ring of integers of an absolutely ramified $p$-adic field of constant group schemes of rank two over finite fields, by counting the rational points of a…
We establish some upper and lower bounds for the number of rational points of Prym varieties over finite fields.
It is shown that if $p$ is a complete type of Lascar rank at least 2 over $A$, in the theory of differentially closed fields of characteristic zero, then there exists a pair of realisations, $a_1$ and $a_2$, such that $p$ has a nonalgebraic…
We exhibit planar, rational curves of large degree over ${\mathbb F}_2$ that have a unique singular point, which has multiplicity 2. In characteristic 0 such curves exist only for degrees up to $6$. v.2: references updated and examples of…
A basic version of Abhyankar's Lemma states that for two finite extensions $L$ and $F$ of a local field $K$, if $L|K$ is tamely ramified and if the ramification index of $L|K$ divides the ramification index of $F|K$, then the compositum…
Let $k$ be a finite field extension of the function field $\bfF_p(T)$ and $\bar{k}$ its algebraic closure. We count points in projective space $\Bbb P ^{n-1}(\bar{k})$ with given height and of fixed degree $d$ over the field $k$. If…
