We use character sums to confirm several recent conjectures of V. I. Arnold on the uniformity of distribution properties of a certain dynamical system in a finite field. On the other hand, we show that some conjectures are wrong. We also analyze several other conjectures of V. I. Arnold related to the orbit length of similar dynamical systems in residue rings and outline possible ways to prove ...

We show that any Λ-ring, in the sense of Riemann–Roch theory, which is finite étale over the rational numbers and has an integral model as a Λ-ring is contained in a product of cyclotomic fields. In fact, we show that the category of them is described in a Galois-theoretic way in terms of the monoid of pro-finite integers under multiplication and the cyclotomic character. We also study the maxi...

We find finite, reasonably small, explicit generator sets of the coordinate rings of G-character varieties of finitely generated groups for all classical groups G. This result together with the method of Gröbner basis gives an algorithm for describing character varieties by explicit polynomial equations. For a reductive group G over a field K, denote the G-character variety of a finitely genera...

for a finite group $g$‎, ‎we study the total character $tau_g$‎ ‎afforded by the direct sum of all the non-isomorphic irreducible‎ ‎complex representations of $g$‎. ‎we resolve for several classes of‎ ‎groups (the camina $p$-groups‎, ‎the generalized camina $p$-groups‎, ‎the groups which admit $(g,z(g))$ as a generalized camina pair)‎, ‎the problem of existence of a‎ ‎polynomial $f(x) in mathbb...
