Mathematical Interests

List of publications and preprints (a few years out of date)

Fields of interest:
Algebraic Number Theory (and other aspects of algebra and number theory),
Foundations of Mathematics (and related philosophical and historical issues) especially new approaches to the paradoxes ("algorithmic logic"),
Finite Fields (especially sets of values of algebraic mappings),
Arithmetical Algebraic Geometry (and related areas of geometry and algebraic topology).
