Let k be a field of zero characteristic, and let F be a function field over k of genus g. We normalize each valuation v on F so that its order group consists of all rational integers, and for elements u1, …, un of F, not all zero, we define the (projective) height asThe sum formula on F shows that this is really a height on the projective space .

AbstractLet ℙ denote the weighted projective space with weights (1, 1, 1, 3) over the rationals, with coordinates x, y, z and w; let $\mathcal{X}$ be the generic element of the family of surfaces in ℙ given by \begin{equation*} X\colon w^2=x^6+y^6+z^6+tx^2y^2z^2. \end{equation*} The surface $\mathcal{X}$ is a K3 surface over the function field ℚ(t). In this paper, we explicitly compute the geometric Picard lattice of $\mathcal{X}$, together with its Galois module structure, as well as derive more results on the arithmetic of $\mathcal{X}$ and other elements of the family X.

This paper aims to provide a complete resolution of the general norm form equation over function fields of positive characteristic. In a previous paper [4] we studied norm forms in the simpler case of zero characteristic; that study forms the starting point for the present investigations. Diophantine problems over function fields of positive characteristic were first investigated by Armitage in 1968 [1], who clamied to have established an analogue of the Thue–Siegel–Roth–Uchiyama theorem for such fields. This claim was refuted by Osgood in 1975 [6], who also derived a correct analogue of Thue's approximation theorem. in 1983 a different attack was made on Diophantine problems over function fields, the principal weapon being a bound [2] for the heights of the solutions of the unit equation

Linear Recurrence Sequence

Abstract Let $ (G_n)_{n=0}^{\infty } $ be a nondegenerate linear recurrence sequence whose power sum representation is given by $ G_n = a_1(n) \alpha _1^n + \cdots + a_t(n) \alpha _t^n $ . We prove a function field analogue of the well-known result in the number field case that, under some nonrestrictive conditions, $ |{G_n}| \geq ( \max _{j=1,\ldots ,t} |{\alpha _j}| )^{n(1-\varepsilon )} $ for $ n $ large enough.

Algebraically Closed Field

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0. Let K/k be a function field of one variable and L/K be an unramified separable abelian extension of degree pr over K. The galois automorphisms ε1, …, εpr of L/K are naturally extended to automorphisms η(ε1), … , η(εpr) of the jacobian variety JL of L/k. If we take a svstem of p-adic coordinates on JL, we get a representation {Mp(η(εv))} of the galois group G(L/K) of L/K over p-adic integers.

AbstractLetE/kbe a function field over an infinite field of constants. Assume thatE/k(x) is a separable extension of degree greater than one such that there exists a place of degree one ofk(x) ramified inE. LetK/kbe a function field. We prove that there exist infinitely many nonisomorphic separable extensionsL/Ksuch that [L:K]=[E:k(x)] andAutkL=AutKL≅Autk(x)E.

Puiseux Expansions

Letkbe any algebraically closed field, and denote byk((t)) the field of formal power series in one indeterminatetoverk. Letso thatKis the field of Puiseux expansions with coefficients ink(each element ofKis a formal power series intl/rfor some positive integerr). It is well-known thatKis algebraically closed if and only ifkis of characteristic zero [1, p. 61]. For examples relating to ramified extensions of fields with valuation [9, §6] it is useful to have a field analogous toKwhich is algebraically closed whenkhas non-zero characteristicp. In this paper, I prove that the setLof all formal power series of the form Σaitei(where (ei) is well-ordered,ei=mi|nprt,n∈ Ζ,mi∈ Ζ,ai∈k,ri∈ Ν) forms an algebraically closed field.

AbstractLet denote the Dedekind eta function. We use a recent productto- sum formula in conjunction with conditions for the non-representability of integers by certain ternary quadratic forms to give explicitly ten eta quotientssuch that the Fourier coefficients c(n) vanish for all positive integers n in each of infinitely many non-overlapping arithmetic progressions. For example, we show that if we have c(n) = 0 for all n in each of the arithmetic progressions

AbstractLet k = Fq be a finite field of characteristic p with q elements and let K be a function field of one variable over k. Consider an elliptic curve E defined over K. We determine how often the reduction of this elliptic curve to a prime ideal is cyclic. This is done by generalizing a result of Bilharz to a more general form of Artin's primitive roots problem formulated by R. Murty.

Main Conjecture

We formulate and prove an analogue of the non-commutative Iwasawa Main Conjecture for [Formula: see text]-adic representations of the Galois group of a function field of characteristic [Formula: see text]. We also prove a functional equation for the resulting non-commutative [Formula: see text]-functions. As corollaries, we obtain non-commutative generalizations of the main conjecture for Picard-[Formula: see text]-motives of Greither and Popescu and a main conjecture for abelian varieties over function fields in precise analogy to the [Formula: see text] main conjecture of Coates, Fukaya, Kato, Sujatha and Venjakob.

Rational Normal Curve

If x0,x1, … xn are homogeneous coordinates in [n], projective space of n dimensions, the prime (to use the standard name for a hyperplane)osculates, as θ varies, the rational normal curve C whose parametric form is [2, p. 347]Take a set of n + 2 points on C for which θ = ηjζ where ζ is any complex number andso that the ηj, for 0 ≦ j < n + 2, are the (n + 2)th roots of unity. The n + 2 primes osculating C at these points bound an (n + 2)-hedron H which varies with η, and H is polar for all the quadrics(1.1)in the sense that the polar of any vertex, common to n of its n + 2 bounding primes, contains the opposite [n + 2] common to the residual pair.
