In recent decades, the use of ideas from Minkowski's Geometry of Numbers has gained recognition as a helpful tool in bounding the number of solutions to modular congruences with variables from short intervals. In 1941, Mahler introduced an analogue to the Geometry of Numbers in function fields over finite fields. Here, we build on Mahler's ideas and develop results useful for bounding the sizes of intersections of lattices and convex bodies in , which are more precise than what is known over . These results are then applied to various problems regarding bounding the number of solutions to congruences in , such as the number of points on polynomial curves in low-dimensional subspaces of finite fields. Our results improve on a number of previous bounds due to Bagshaw, Cilleruelo, Shparlinski and Zumalacárregui. We also present previous techniques developed by various authors for estimating certain energy/point counts in a unified manner.

A monoid is right coherent if every finitely generated subact of every finitely presented right -act itself has a finite presentation; it is weakly right coherent if every finitely generated right ideal of has a finite presentation. We show that full and partial transformation monoids, symmetric inverse monoids and partition monoids over an infinite set are all weakly right coherent, but that none of them is right coherent. Left coherency and weak left coherency are defined dually, and the corresponding results hold for these properties. In order to prove the non-coherency results, we give a presentation of an inverse semigroup which does not embed into any left or right coherent monoid.

This paper presents two general criteria to determine spaceability results in the complements of unions of subspaces. The first criterion applies to countable unions of subspaces under specific conditions and is closely related to the results of Kitson and Timoney [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 378 (2011), 680–686]. This criterion extends and recovers some classical results in this theory. The second criterion establishes sufficient conditions for the complement of a union of Lebesgue spaces to be -spaceable, or not, even when they are not locally convex. We use this result to characterize measurable subsets having positive measure. Armed with these results, we have improved existing results in environments such as Lebesgue measurable function sets, spaces of continuous functions, sequence spaces, nowhere Hölder function sets, Sobolev spaces, non-absolutely summing operator spaces and even sets of functions of bounded variation.
