Some geometric aspects of Puiseux surfaces.

José M. Tornero (2003)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

This paper is part of the author's thesis, recently presented, where the following problem is treated: Characterizing the tangent cone and the equimultiple locus of a Puiseux surface (that is, an algebroid embedded surface admitting an equation whose roots are Puiseux power series) , using a set of exponents appearing in a root of an equation. The aim is knowing to which extent the well known results for the quasi-ordinary case can be extended to this much wider family.

Some new directions in p -adic Hodge theory

Kiran S. Kedlaya (2009)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

We recall some basic constructions from p -adic Hodge theory, then describe some recent results in the subject. We chiefly discuss the notion of B -pairs, introduced recently by Berger, which provides a natural enlargement of the category of p -adic Galois representations. (This enlargement, in a different form, figures in recent work of Colmez, Bellaïche, and Chenevier on trianguline representations.) We also discuss results of Liu that indicate that the formalism of Galois cohomology, including Tate...

Some (non-)elimination results for curves in geometric structures

Serge Randriambololona, Sergei Starchenko (2011)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We show that the first order structure whose underlying universe is ℂ and whose basic relations are all algebraic subsets of ℂ² does not have quantifier elimination. Since an algebraic subset of ℂ² is either of dimension ≤ 1 or has a complement of dimension ≤ 1, one can restate the former result as a failure of quantifier elimination for planar complex algebraic curves. We then prove that removing the planarity hypothesis suffices to recover quantifier elimination: the structure with the universe...

Some properties of and open problems on Hessian nilpotent polynomials

Wenhua Zhao (2008)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

In the recent work [BE1], [Me], [Burgers] and [HNP], the well-known Jacobian conjecture ([BCW], [E]) has been reduced to a problem on HN (Hessian nilpotent) polynomials (the polynomials whose Hessian matrix is nilpotent) and their (deformed) inversion pairs. In this paper, we prove several results on HN polynomials, their (deformed) inversion pairs as well as on the associated symmetric polynomial or formal maps. We also propose some open problems for further study.
