A proof of freeness of the commutator subgroup of the fundamental group of a smooth irreducible affine curve over a countable algebraically closed field of nonzero characteristic. A description of the abelianizations of the fundamental groups of affine curves over an algebraically closed field of nonzero characteristic is also given.

Orthogonal representations of twisted forms of SL_2
For every absolutely irreducible orthogonal representation of a twisted form of SL 2 over a field of characteristic zero, we compute the " unique " symmetric bilinear form that is invariant under the group action. We also prove the analogous result for Weyl modules in prime characteristic (including characteristic 2) and an isomorphism between two symmetric bilinear forms given by binomial coef...

متن کاملReal-analytic, volume-preserving actions of lattices on 4-manifolds
We prove that any real-analytic, volume-preserving action of a lattice Γ in a simple Lie group with Q-rank(Γ) ≥ 7 on a closed 4-manifold of nonzero Euler characteristic factors through a finite group action.

for some nonzero vector x called an eigenvector. This is equivalent to writing (λI − A)x = 0 so, since x 6= 0, A− λI must be singular, and hence det(λI − A) = 0. From the (complicated!) definition of determinant, it follows that det(λI−A) is a polynomial in the variable λ with degree n, and this is called the characteristic polynomial. By the fundamental theorem of algebra (a nontrivial result)...
متن کاملRoot Multiplicities and Number of Nonzero Coefficients of a Polynomial
Abstract. It is known that the weight (that is, the number of nonzero coefficients) of a univariate polynomial over a field of characteristic zero is larger than the multiplicity of any of its nonzero roots. We extend this result to an appropriate statement in positive characteristic. Furthermore, we present a new proof of the original result, which produces also the exact number of monic polyn...
