ABSTRACT
In mathematics, numbers that satisfy a polynomial equation with rational coefficients: for example, âˆš2 solves x2 - 2 = 0. Real numbers that are not algebraic are called trancendental numbers. Although there is an infinity of algebraic numbers, there is in fact a "larger" infinity of transcendental numbers.

We investigate arithmetic properties of certain subsets of square-free positive integers and obtain in this way some results concerning the class number h( d) of the real quadratic field $$\mathbb{Q}{\left( {{\sqrt d }} \right)}$$. In particular, we give a new proof of the result of Hasse,...

Given a function f : E â†’ R with E âŠ‚ ℝ:n, we explain how to decide whether f extends to a âŠ‚m function F on â„n. If E is finite, then one can efficiently compute an F as above, whose Cm norm has the least possible order of magnitude (joint work with B. Klartag).

Let G be a reductive group over a local field of characteristic zero or a finite central cover of such a group. We present a conjecture that enables one to define formal degree for all unitary representations of G. The conjecture is proved for GLn and over real and p-adic fields, together with a...

We consider in this paper the class M k n of generalized Motzkin paths of length n, that is, lattice paths using steps (1,1), (1,âˆ’1), ( k,0), where k is a fixed positive integer, starting at the origin (0,0), running above the x-axis, and ending at ( n,0). The area is the region bounded...

In this note we consider formally real fields that admit only of Archimedean orderings. Such fields will be called Archimedean. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for a formally real field to be Archimedean. We also characterize in terms of convexity the positive cones of...

• The embedding problem with non-Abelian kernel for local fields. Ishkhanov, V.; Lur�e, B. // Journal of Mathematical Sciences;Sep2009, Vol. 161 Issue 4, p553

The embedding problem of local fields with p-groups is equivalent to its associated Abelian problem if the inequality d = r + 2 is valid; here d and r are the numbers of generators of the Demushkin group and of the Galois group of an embedded field. Bibliography: 6 titles.

In 2002, Yorioka introduced the s-ideal $${{\mathcal {I}}_f}$$ for strictly increasing functions f from ? into ? to analyze the cofinality of the strong measure zero ideal. For each f, we study the cardinal coefficients (the additivity, covering number, uniformity and cofinality) of {{\mathcal...

We propose a convenient modification for the concept of extremal field which was introduced by the author previously and turned out to be degenerate.
