We study the feasibility of level expansion and test the quartic vertex of closed string field theory by checking the flatness of the potential in marginal directions. The tests, which work out correctly, require the cancellation of two…

Let ${\mathbb F}_q$ be a finite field of characteristic two and ${\mathbb F}_q(X_1,...,X_n)$ a rational function field. We use matrix methods to obtain explicit transcendental bases of the invariant subfields of orthogonal groups and…

The aim of the paper is firstly to study domains of definitions in terms of boundary conditions of minimal and maximal operators, as well as selfadjoint extensions of a minimal operator associated with the fourth-order differential operator…

We introduce a notion of refinements in the context of patching, in order to obtain new results about local-global principles and field invariants in the context of quadratic forms and central simple algebras. The fields we consider are…

We show that there is a strong minimal pair in the computably enumerable Turing degrees.

We investigate the Hasse principles for isotropy and isometry of quadratic forms over finitely generated field extensions with respect to various sets of discrete valuations. Over purely transcendental field extensions of fields that…

We prove that every non-trivial valuation on an infinite superrosy field of positive characteristic has divisible value group and algebraically closed residue field. In fact, we prove the following more general result. Let $K$ be a field…

We characterize pointwise minimal extensions of rings introduced by P.-J. Cahen, D. E. Dobbs and T. G. Lucas.

We answer two open questions about the model theory of valued differential fields introduced by Scanlon. We show that they eliminate imaginaries in the geometric language introduced by Haskell, Hrushovski and Macpherson and that they have…

Given two conformal field theories related to each other by a marginal perturbation, and string field theories constructed around such backgrounds, we show how to construct explicit redefinition of string fields which relate these two…

We take the abstract basis approach to classical domain theory and extend it to quantitative domains. In doing so, we provide dual characterisations of distance domains (some new even in the classical case) as well as unifying and extending…

Every maximal Hardy field has a proper elementary differential subfield that is Dedekind complete in the maximal Hardy field. This pair of Hardy fields is a transserial tame pair, shown to have a complete and model complete elementary…

We introduce quasi-Prufer extensions of rings in order to relativize the notion of quasi-Prufer domains and to take into account some contexts recently introduced in the literature. We also introduce almost-Prufer ring extensions.…

We give two concrete examples of continuous valuations on dcpo's to separate minimal valuations, point-continuous valuations and continuous valuations: (1) Let $\mathcal J$ be the Johnstone's non-sober dcpo, and $\mu$ be the continuous…

In this paper we completely characterize all dimension functions on all models of the theory $T_{\log}$ of the asymptotic couple of the field of logarithmic transseries (Dimension Theorem). This is done by characterizing the "small"…

Recently, a new axiomatic framework for tameness in henselian valued fields was developed by Cluckers, Halupczok, Rideau-Kikuchi and Vermeulen and termed Hensel minimality. In this article we develop Diophantine applications of Hensel…

We classify all possible extensions of a valuation from a ground field $K$ to a rational function field in one or several variables over $K$. We determine which value groups and residue fields can appear, and we show how to construct…

We classify Artin-Schreier extensions of valued fields with non-trivial defect according to whether they are connected with purely inseparable extensions with non-trivial defect, or not. We use this classification to show that in positive…

In these introductory notes I explain some basic ideas in string field theory. These include: the concept of a string field, the issue of background independence, the reason why minimal area metrics solve the problem of generating all…

This article initiates the study of topological transcendental fields $\FF$ which are subfields of the topological field $\CC$ of all complex numbers such that $\FF$ consists of only rational numbers and a nonempty set of transcendental…
