We prove various results on the size and structure of subsets of vector spaces over finite fields which, in some sense, have too many mutually orthogonal pairs of vectors. In particular, we obtain sharp finite field variants of a theorem of…

We investigate the homogeneity of topological subspaces of separable Hilbert space, akin to the spaces with all points rational or all points irrational, so-called Erd\H{o}s spaces. We provide a non-homogeneous example, that is based on one…

This is a survey of recent advances in commutative algebra, especially in mixed characteristic, obtained by using the theory of perfectoid spaces. An explanation of these techniques and a short account of the author's proof of the direct…

We present a classification, up to isomorphisms, of all the homogeneous spaces of the Lorentz group with dimension lower than six. At the same time, we classify, up to conjugation, all the non-discrete closed subgroup of the Lorentz group…

In [1] we defined a new kind of space called 'structured space' which locally resembles, near each of its points, some algebraic structure. We noted in the conclusion of the cited paper that the maps $f_s$ and $h$, which are of great…

Let (G, V) be a prehomogeneous vector space, let O be any G(F_q)-invariant subset of V(F_q), and let f be the characteristic function of O. In this paper we develop a method for explicitly and efficiently evaluating the Fourier transform of…

We investigate similarities between the category of vector spaces and that of polytopal algebras, containing the former as a full subcategory. In Section 2 we introduce the notion of a polytopal Picard group and show that it is trivial for…

We establish effective versions of Oppenheim's conjecture for generic inhomogeneous quadratic forms. We prove such results for fixed quadratic forms and generic shifts. Our results complement our companion paper where we considered generic…

We give an elementary introduction to our papers relating the geometry of rational homogeneous varieties to representation theory. We also describe related work and recent progress.

In this note, we propose a conjecture stating that some series involving primitive sequences are convergent. Then, we show (by a counterexample) that the analogue of a conjecture of Erd\H{o}s, for those series, is false.

We survey recent work done on the values at integer points of irrational inhomogeneous quadratic forms, namely, inhomogeneous analogues of the famous Oppenheim conjecture. We also prove that the set of such forms in two variables whose set…

The vector field problem is an important and classical problem in differential topology. In this survey we shall consider the vector field problem focusing mainly on the class of compact homogeneous spaces.

We address some conjectures and open problems in "analysis of symmetries" which include the study of non-commutative harmonic analysis and discontinuous groups for reductive homogeneous spaces beyond the classical framework: (1) discrete…

We exhibit isomorphisms of Grassmann spaces and their relationship with collineations and embeddings of the underlying projective spaces.

We introduce a class of "Lipschitz horizontal" vector fields in homogeneous groups, for which we show equivalent descriptions, e.g. in terms of suitable derivations. We then investigate the associated Cauchy problem, providing a uniqueness…

This is the first paper of a five part work in which we study the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian structure of classical field theories with constraints. Our goal is to explore some of the connections between initial value constraints and gauge…

Power-law uniform (in the operator norm) convergence on vector subspaces with their own norms in von Neumann's ergodic theorem with continuous time is considered. All possible exponents of the considered power-law convergence are found; for…

We will present several examples in which ideas from ergodic theory can be useful to study some problems in arithmetic and algebraic geometry.

Riemannian and pseudo-Riemannian symmetric spaces with semisimple transvection group are known and classified for a long time. Contrary to that the description of pseudo-Riemannian symmetric spaces with non-semisimple transvection group is…

An introductory overview of vector spaces, algebras, and linear geometries over an arbitrary commutative field is given. Quotient spaces are emphasized and used in constructing the exterior and the symmetric algebras of a vector space.…
