The purpose of this paper is to study fields whose multiplicative groups admit the structure of linear spaces. We prove that the multiplicative group of a finite field is a linear space if and only if the order of the multiplicative group…

In this paper, we study several definitions of generalized rank weights for arbitrary finite extensions of fields. We prove that all these definitions coincide, generalizing known results for extensions of finite fields.

A finite separable extension of a field is called primitive if there are no intermediate extensions. The most interesting primitive extensions of a local field with finite residue field are the wildly ramified ones, and our aim here is to…

We show that the Ree unital $\mathcal{R}(q)$ has an embedding in a projective plane over a field $F$ if and only if $q=3$ and $\mathbb{F}_8$ is a subfield of $F$. In this case, the embedding is unique up to projective linear…

In this paper we obtain the extended genus field of a finite abelian extension of a global rational function field. We first study the case of a cyclic extension of prime power degree. Next, we use that the extended genus fields of a…

We extend to the context of algebraic groups a classic result on extensions of abstract groups relating the set of isomorphism classes of extensions of $G$ by $H$ with that of extensions of $G$ by the center $Z$ of $H$. The proof should be…

We show that every valued differential field has an immediate strict extension that is spherically complete. We also discuss the issue of uniqueness up to isomorphism of such an extension.

We extend results of Videla and Fukuzaki to define algebraic integers in large classes of infinite algebraic extensions of Q and use these definitions for some of the fields to show the first-order undecidability. We also obtain a…

It is shown that a valuation of residue characteristic different from $2$ and $3$ on a field $E$ has at most one extension to the function field of an elliptic curve over $E$, for which the residue field extension is transcendental but not…

It has been shown by Madden that there are only finitely many quadratic extensions of k(x), k a finite field, in which the ideal class group has exponent two and the infinity place of k(x) ramifies. We give a characterization of such fields…

We bound double sums of Kloosterman sums over a finite field ${\mathbb F}_{q}$, with one or both parameters ranging over an affine space over its prime subfield ${\mathbb F}_p \subseteq {\mathbb F}_{q} $. These are finite fields analogues…

A finite semifield is a division algebra over a finite field where multiplication is not necessarily associative. We consider here the complexity of the multiplication in small semifields and finite field extensions. For this operation, the…

We construct and study fields F with the property that F has infinitely many extensions of some fixed degree, but E*/(E*)^n is finite for every finite extension E of F and every n>0.

Consider a pair of ordinary elliptic curves $E$ and $E'$ defined over the same finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Suppose they have the same number of $\mathbb{F}_q$-rational points, i.e. $|E(\mathbb{F}_q)|=|E'(\mathbb{F}_q)|$. In this paper we…

We construct explicitly in any finite field of the form Fq[x]/(x^m-a) elements with multiplicative order at least 2^{(2m)^(1/2)}

We investigate when a computable automorphism of a computable field can be effectively extended to a computable automorphism of its (computable) algebraic closure. We then apply our results and techniques to study effective embeddings of…

Let $K$ be a totally real number field, $d$ a positive integer, and $Q$ a higher degree form over $K$. We prove that there are at most finitely many totally real extensions $L/K$ of degree $d$ such that $Q$ over $L$ is universal. Further,…

We present a more general proof that cyclotomic polynomials are irreducible over Q and other number fields that meet certain conditions. The proof provides a new perspective that ties together well-known results, as well as some new…

In quantum field theory radiative corrections can be finite but undetermined.

This paper is concerned with the problem of determining the number of division algebras which share the same collection of finite splitting fields. As a corollary we are able to determine when two central division algebras may be…
