Poles of regular quaternionic functions
This paper studies the singularities of Cullen-regular functions of one
quaternionic variable. The quaternionic Laurent series prove to be
Cullen-regular. The singularities of Cullen-regular functions are thus
classified as removable, essential or poles. The quaternionic analogues of
meromorphic complex functions, called semiregular functions, turn out to be
quotients of Cullen-regular functions with respect to an appropriate division
operation. This allows a detailed study of the poles and their distribution.Comment: 14 page
Noncommutative generalizations of theorems of Cohen and Kaplansky
This paper investigates situations where a property of a ring can be tested
on a set of "prime right ideals." Generalizing theorems of Cohen and Kaplansky,
we show that every right ideal of a ring is finitely generated (resp.
principal) iff every "prime right ideal" is finitely generated (resp.
principal), where the phrase "prime right ideal" can be interpreted in one of
many different ways. We also use our methods to show that other properties can
be tested on special sets of right ideals, such as the right artinian property
and various homological properties. Applying these methods, we prove the
following noncommutative generalization of a result of Kaplansky: a (left and
right) noetherian ring is a principal right ideal ring iff all of its maximal
right ideals are principal. A counterexample shows that the left noetherian
hypothesis cannot be dropped. Finally, we compare our results to earlier
generalizations of Cohen's and Kaplansky's theorems in the literature.Comment: 41 pages. To appear in Algebras and Representation Theory. Minor

Emergence and development of H7N9 influenza viruses in China
The occurrence of human infections with avian H7N9 viruses since 2013 demonstrates the continuing pandemic threat posed by the current influenza ecosystem in China. Influenza surveillance and phylogenetic analyses showed that these viruses were generated by multiple interspecies transmissions and reassortments among the viruses resident in domestic ducks and the H9N2 viruses enzootic in chickens. A large population of domestic ducks hosting diverse influenza viruses provided the precondition for these events to occur, while acquiring internal genes from enzootic H9N2 influenza viruses in chickens promoted the spread of these viruses. Human infections effectively act as sentinels, reflecting the intensity of the activity of these viruses in poultry.postprin
Quaternion algebras with the same subfields
G. Prasad and A. Rapinchuk asked if two quaternion division F -algebras that
have the same subfields are necessarily isomorphic. The answer is known to be
"no" for some very large fields. We prove that the answer is "yes" if F is an
extension of a global field K so that F /K is unirational and has zero
unramified Brauer group. We also prove a similar result for Pfister forms and
give an application to tractable fields
