Differentiability along hyperplanes for rational functions
This is a follow up to my previous question.
Let $f\colon \mathbb R^3\to \mathbb R$ be a continuous function that is rational and differentiable along all planes through $0$, that is, we assume:

Convergence region of multivariate rational functions
Assume $p, q \in \mathbb{R}[x_1,\ldots,x_k]$ and let $ \vec{0} \not\in V(q) := \{\vec{x} \in \mathbb{R}^k \mid q(\vec{x}) = 0 \}$ such that $r_q := \inf_{\vec{x}\in V(q)} |\!|\vec{x}|\!|_\infty < \...

What circumstances guarantee a p-adic affine conjugacy map will be a rational function?
Let $\Bbb Q_p$ be a p-adic field and let any element $x$ of $\Bbb Q_p$ be associated with a unique element of $\Bbb Z_p$ via the quotient / equivalence relation $\forall n\in\Bbb Z:p^nx\sim x$
Then in ...

Noether's Problem and the Inverse Problem on Galois Theory
For the sake of simplicity, assume the base field $k$ as having zero characteristic. I will discuss 4 different formulations of Noether's Problem.
version 1 - original Noether's problem: Let $G<S_n$...

Bound for the $n$-th derivative of a proper rational function with no poles on the right half-plane
Suppose that
$f$ and $g$ are polynomials with nonnegative coefficients,
the degree of $g$ is greater than the degree of $f$,
$g + f$ have no zeros on the right half plane $\mathbb{C}_+ = \{z \in \...

Unirationality connected with $S$-unit equation
This update of question asked before.
Let $n$ be a natural number. Consider a subvariety in $\mathbb A^{3n+2}$ (say over $\mathbb C$) given by the equation
$$x_1(t-y_1)\dots (t-y_n)+x_2(t-z_1)\dots(t-...

Upper bound for the $n$-th derivative of a rational function $\frac{f}{f+g}$
Let $f$ and $g$ be real polynomials with nonnegative coefficients. Let
$$
h = \frac{f}{f+g}.
$$
I want to prove that the $n$-th derivative of $h$ satisfies:
There exists $C > 0$ such that

On counter-examples to Noether's Problem
Noether's Problem was introduced by Emmy Noether in [4]:
Let $\mathsf{k}$ be a field and $K=\mathsf{k}(x_1,\ldots,x_n)$ be a purely transcendental extension. Let $G<S_n$ be a group acting by ...

A closed expression for definite integral of a rational function
Suppose $F(x) = P(x)/Q(x)$ is an integrable rational function on $\mathbb R$, that is, $\deg Q \geq \deg P + 2$, and $Q$ has no real roots.
Does there exist an expression for the definite integral $...
