We introduce and study a relative cancellation property for associative algebras. We also prove a characterization result for polynomial rings which partially answers a question of Kraft.

It is argued that the $x-y$ cancellation model (XYCM) is a good proxy for discussions of finetuned cancellations in physical theories. XYCM is then analyzed from a statistical perspective, where it is argued that a finetuned point in the…

This note is motivated by the article of Bamerni, Kadets and Kili\c{c}man [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 435 (2), 1812--1815 (2016)]. We consider the remaining problem which claims that if $A$ is a dense subset of a finite dimensional space $X$,…

The Salem problem to verify whether Fourier-Stieltjes coefficients of the Minkowski question mark function vanish at infinity is solved recently affirmatively. In this paper by using methods of classical analysis and special functions we…

We construct two non isomorphic contractible affine threefolds X and Y with isomorphic cylinders, showing that the generalized Cancellation Problem has a negative answer in general for contractible affine threefolds. We also establish that…

Let $K$ be a nonempty finite subset of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^k$ $(k\ge 2)$. We prove that if a function $f\colon \mathbb{R}^k\to \mathbb{C}$ is such that the sum of $f$ on every congruent copy of $K$ is zero, then $f$ vanishes…

We study a two-dimensional family of affine surfaces which are counter-examples to the Cancellation Problem. We describe the Makar-Limanov invariant of these surfaces, determine their isomorphism classes and characterize the automorphisms…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. An element F from k(x_1,...,x_n) is called a closed rational function if the subfield k(F) is algebraically closed in the field k(x_1,...,x_n). We prove that a rational function…

The Zariski cancellation problem plays a central role in affine algebraic geometry and noncommutative algebra, with locally nilpotent derivations providing a fundamental invariant-theoretic approach. This article presents a unified survey…

Convex semilattices are algebras that are at the same time a convex algebra and a semilattice, together with a distributivity axiom. These algebras have attracted some attention in the last years as suitable algebras for probability and…

Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, endowed with a complete nonarchimedean norm. Let X be a K-rigid analytic variety and \Sigma a semianalytic subset of X. Then the closure of \Sigma in X with respect to the…

In this paper, we prove that every iterative differential embedding problem over an algebraic function field in positive characteristic with an algebraically closed field of constants has a proper solution.

Given an arbitrary (commutative) field K, let V be a linear subspace of M_n(K) consisting of matrices of rank lesser than or equal to some r<n. A theorem of Atkinson and Lloyd states that, if dim V>nr-r+1 and #K>r, then either all the…

We prove a removal lemma for systems of linear equations over finite fields: let $X_1,...,X_m$ be subsets of the finite field $\F_q$ and let $A$ be a $(k\times m)$ matrix with coefficients in $\F_q$ and rank $k$; if the linear system $Ax=b$…

Our goal is to settle the following faded problem: The Jacobian Conjecture (JC_n): If f_1,..,f_n are elements in a polynomial ring k[X_1,..,X_n] over a field k of characteristic 0 such that det(\partial f_i/ \partial X_j) is a nonzero…

Efficient algorithms for many problems in optimization and computational algebra often arise from casting them as systems of polynomial equations. Blum, Shub, and Smale formalized this as Hilbert's Nullstellensatz Problem $HN_R$: given…

A universal coefficient theorem is proved for C*-algebras over an arbitrary finite T_0-space X which have vanishing boundary maps. Under bootstrap assumptions, this leads to a complete classification of unital/stable real-rank-zero…

Let B be a unital C*-algebra, let A be a unital subalgebra, and let E be a conditional expectation from B to A with index-finite type and a quasi-basis of n elements. Then the topological stable rank satisfies \tsr (B) \leq \tsr (A) + n -…

We show that the category of motivic spaces with transfers along finite flat morphisms, over a perfect field, satisfies all the properties we have come to expect of good categories of motives. In particular we establish the analog of…

We study a noncommutative version of the Zariski cancellation problem for some classes of connected graded Artin-Schelter regular algebras of global dimension three.
