Non-injectivity of Nonzero Discriminant Polynomials and Applications to Packing Polynomials

Number Theory 2021-02-09 v1

Abstract

We show that an integer-valued quadratic polynomial on R2\mathbb{R}^2 can not be injective on the integer lattice points of any affine convex cone if its discriminant is nonzero. A consequence is the non-existence of quadratic packing polynomials on irrational sectors of R2\mathbb{R}^2.
