Using the methods developed for the proof that the 2-universality criterion is unique, we partially characterize criteria for the n-universality of positive-definite integer-matrix quadratic forms. We then obtain the uniqueness of Ohs 8-universality criterion as an application of our characterization results.

If $L/K$ is a finite Galois extension of local fields, we say that the valuation criterion $VC(L/K)$ holds if there is an integer $d$ such that every element $x in L$ with valuation $d$ generates a normal basis for $L/K$. Answering a question of Byott and Elder, we first prove that $VC(L/K)$ holds if and only if the tamely ramified part of the extension $L/K$ is trivial and every non-zero $K[G]$-submodule of $L$ contains a unit. Moreover, the integer $d$ can take one value modulo $[L:K]$ only, namely $-d_{L/K}-1$, where $d_{L/K}$ is the valuation of the different of $L/K$. When $K$ has positive characteristic, we thus recover a recent result of Elder and Thomas, proving that $VC(L/K)$ is valid for all extensions $L/K$ in this context. When $char{;K}=0$, we identify all abelian extensions $L/K$ for which $VC(L/K)$ is true, using algebraic arguments. These extensions are determined by the behaviour of their cyclic Kummer subextensions.
Let f:X->X be a morphism of a variety over a number field K. We consider local conditions and a Bruaer-Manin condition, defined by Hsia and Silverman, for the orbit of a point P in X(K) to be disjoint from a subvariety V of X, i.e., the intersection of the orbit of P with V is empty. We provide evidence that the dynamical Brauer-Manin condition is sufficient to explain the lack of points in the intersection of the orbit of P with V; this evidence stems from a probabilistic argument as well as unconditional results in the case of etale maps.
In multi-terminal communication systems, signals carrying messages meant for different destinations are often observed together at any given destination receiver. Han and Kobayashi (1981) proposed a receiving strategy which performs a joint unique decoding of messages of interest along with a subset of messages which are not of interest. It is now well-known that this provides an achievable region which is, in general, larger than if the receiver treats all messages not of interest as noise. Nair and El Gamal (2009) and Chong, Motani, Garg, and El Gamal (2008) independently proposed a generalization called indirect or non-unique decoding where the receiver uses the codebook structure of the messages to uniquely decode only its messages of interest. Non-unique decoding has since been used in various scenarios. The main result in this paper is to provide an interpretation and a systematic proof technique for why non-unique decoding, in all known cases where it has been employed, can be replaced by a particularly designed joint unique decoding strategy, without any penalty from a rate region viewpoint.
It was discovered some years ago that there exist non-integer real numbers $q>1$ for which only one sequence $(c_i)$ of integers $c_i in [0,q)$ satisfies the equality $sum_{i=1}^infty c_iq^{-i}=1$. The set of such univoque numbers has a rich topological structure, and its study revealed a number of unexpected connections with measure theory, fractals, ergodic theory and Diophantine approximation. In this paper we consider for each fixed $q>1$ the set $mathcal{U}_q$ of real numbers $x$ having a unique representation of the form $sum_{i=1}^infty c_iq^{-i}=x$ with integers $c_i$ belonging to $[0,q)$. We carry out a detailed topological study of these sets. For instance, we characterize their closures, and we determine those bases $q$ for which $mathcal{U}_q$ is closed or even a Cantor set. We also study the set $mathcal{U}_q$ consisting of all sequences $(c_i)$ of integers $c_i in [0,q)$ such that $sum_{i=1}^{infty} c_i q^{-i} in mathcal{U}_q$. We determine the numbers $r >1$ for which the map $q mapsto mathcal{U}_q$ (defined on $(1, infty)$) is constant in a neighborhood of $r$ and the numbers $q >1$ for which $mathcal{U}_q$ is a subshift or a subshift of finite type.
We prove that the Coleman-Mazur eigencurve is proper over the weight space for any prime p and tame level N.
