Instances of such “arithmetic 1-extensions” naturally arise in arithmetic geometry and in geometry of numbers. In this talk we discuss an arithmetic analog of the Enriques-Severi-Zariski Lemma in classical algebraic geometry: namely, if X is a projective integral scheme over SpecZ and if the class of EQ in the classical extension group Ext1XQ(EQ, FQ) does not vanish, then for “many” points P in...

This study proposes a hypothesis that honorific titles such as English Mr and Japanese san occupy the D head position discusses its consequences to syntax semantics of nominals. Seven pieces supporting evidence are presented using data from various languages. If proposed is correct, (i) nominals in languages without articles not NP but DP, (ii) proper names cannot be N, (iii) semantic parameter...
