Intended for mathematical physicists interested in applications of the division algebras to physics, this article highlights some of their more elegant properties with connections to the theories of Galois fields and quadratic residues.
Generalized non-autonomous linear celullar automata are systems of linear difference equations with many variables that can be seen as convolution equations in a discrete group. We study those systems from the stand point of the Galois…
We introduce a class of strongly \'{e}tale difference algebras, whose role in the study of difference equations is analogous to the role of \'{e}tale algebras in the study of algebraic equations. We deduce an improved version of Babbitt's…
As a simple corollary of a highly general framework for differential and difference Galois theory introduced by Y. Andre, we formulate a version of the Galois correspondence that applies over a difference field with arbitrary field of…
We describe explicit algorithms for factoring q-difference operators and solving q-difference equations. These are well known results, presented in a "concrete" form. ----- Nous decrivons des algorithmes explicites pour la factorisation…
Choose $q\in {\mathbb C}$ with 0<|q|<1. The main theme of this paper is the study of linear q-difference equations over the field K of germs of meromorphic functions at 0. It turns out that a difference module M over K induces in a…
We present an extension of the methods of classical Lie group analysis of differential equations to equations involving generalized functions (in particular: distributions). A suitable framework for such a generalization is provided by…
This is a set of lecture notes for the first author's lectures on the difference equations in 2019 at the Institute of Advanced Study for Mathematics at Zhejiang University. We focus on explicit computations and examples. The convergence of…
In the present paper, we give a q-analogue of the Grothendieck conjecture on p-curvatures for q-difference equations defined over the field of rational function K(x), where K is a finite extension of a field of rational functions k(q), with…
Galois theory is developed using elementary polynomial and group algebra. The method follows closely the original prescription of Galois, and has the benefit of making the theory accessible to a wide audience. The theory is illustrated by a…
We develop sheaf theory in the context of difference algebraic geometry. We introduce categories of difference sheaves and develop the appropriate cohomology theories. As specializations, we get difference Galois cohomology, difference…
For a differential operator $L$ of order $n$ over $C(z)$ with a finite (differential) Galois group $G\subset {\rm GL}(C^n)$, there is an algorithm, by M. van Hoeij and J.-A.~Weil, which computes the associated evaluation of the invariants…
We show how the Galois-Picard_Vessiot theory of differential equations and difference equations, and the theory of holonomy groups in differential geometry, are different aspects of a unique Galois theory. The latter is based upon the…
Let us consider a linear differential equation over a differential field K. For a differential field extension L/K generated by a fundamental system of the equation, we show that Galois group according to the general Galois theory of…
The absolute Galois group Gal$(\overline{\mathbb{Q}}/\mathbb{Q})$ of the field $\mathbb{Q}$ of rational numbers can be presented as a highly computable object, under the notion of type-2 Turing computation. We formalize such a presentation…
It is quite natural to wonder whether there is a difference-differential equations, the Galois group of which is a quantum group that is neither commutative nor co-commutative. Believing that there was no such linear equations, we explored…
This note is designed to show some classes of differential-difference equations admitting Lax representation which generalize evolutionary equations known in the literature.
We present a detailed and simplified version of Hrushovski's algorithm that determines the Galois group of a linear differential equation. There are three major ingredients in this algorithm. The first is to look for a degree bound for…
A full Lie point symmetry analysis of rational difference equations is performed. Non-trivial symmetries are derived and exact solutions using these symmetries are obtained.
There is no general existence theorem for solutions for nonlinear difference equations, so we must prove the existence of solutions in accordance with models one by one. In our work, we found theorems for the existence of analytic solutions…
