Representing integers by multilinear polynomials

Number Theory 2020-07-16 v1

Abstract

Let F(x)F(\boldsymbol x) be a homogeneous polynomial in n1n \ge 1 variables of degree 1dn1 \leq d \leq n with integer coefficients so that its degree in every variable is equal to 11. We give some sufficient conditions on FF to ensure that for every integer bb there exists an integer vector a\boldsymbol a such that F(a)=bF(\boldsymbol a) = b. The conditions provided also guarantee that the vector a\boldsymbol a can be found in a finite number of steps.
