We establish new results on root separation of integer, irreducible polynomials of degree at least four. These improve earlier bounds of Bugeaud and Mignotte (for even degree) and of Beresnevich, Bernik, and Goetze (for odd degree).

We prove that the number of indecomposable vector bundles of fixed rank r and degree d over a smooth projective curve X defined over a finite field is given by a polynomial (depending only on the pair (r,d) and the genus g of X) in the Weil…

The sharp range of $L^p$-estimates for the class of H\"ormander-type oscillatory integral operators is established in all dimensions under a general signature assumption on the phase. This simultaneously generalises earlier work of the…

The determinantal complexity of a polynomial $P \in \mathbb{F}[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ over a field $\mathbb{F}$ is the dimension of the smallest matrix $M$ whose entries are affine functions in $\mathbb{F}[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ such that $P =…

We generalize the notion of Erd\H{o}s-Ginzburg-Ziv constants -- along the same lines we generalized in earlier work the notion of Davenport constants -- to a ``higher degree" and obtain various lower and upper bounds. These bounds are…

For the $n$th cyclotomic polynomial $\Phi_n$, let $A(n)$ denote the greatest absolute value of its coefficients, its height, and let $D(n)$ denote the difference between its largest and smallest coefficients, its diameter. We show that for…

Let $D\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ be a bounded Lipschitz domain, $\omega$ be a high order modulus of continuity and let $T$ be a convolution Calder\'{o}n-Zygmund operator. We characterize the bounded restricted operators $T_D$ on the Zygmund…

Adapting Reiher's proof of Kemnitz's conjecture, we obtain two refinements of a theorem of Schmid and Zhuang. Our main results provide improved upper bounds for the Erd\H{o}s-Ginzburg-Ziv constant of rank-two-like $p$-groups, and their…

We introduce certain special polynomials in an arbitrary number of indeterminates over a finite field. These polynomials generalize the special polynomials associated to the Goss zeta function and Goss-Dirichlet $L$-functions over the ring…

Let $P\subset\R^d$ be a $d$-dimensional polytope. The {\em realization space} of~$P$ is the space of all polytopes $P'\subset\R^d$ that are combinatorially equivalent to~$P$, modulo affine transformations. We report on work by the first…

We study the $p$-adic absolute value of the roots of the $L$-functions associated to certain twisted character sums, and additive character sums associated to polynomials $P(x^d)$, when $P$ varies among the space of polynomial of fixed…

P\'olya's Positivstellensatz on the $1$-simplex says that if $P(x)$ is a real polynomial such that $P(x)>0$ whenever $x \ge 0$, then all the coefficients of $(1+x)^mP(x)$ are positive whenever $m$ is large. Powers-Reznick gave a complexity…

Let $f$ be a homogeneous polynomial over a field. For many fields, including number fields and function fields, we prove that the strength of $f$ is bounded above by a constant multiple of the Birch rank of $f.$ The constant depends only on…

Let $D$ be a domain with fraction field $K$, and let $M_n(D)$ be the ring of $n \times n$ matrices with entries in $D$. The ring of integer-valued polynomials on the matrix ring $M_n(D)$, denoted ${\rm Int}_K(M_n(D))$, consists of those…

The twisted $T$-adic exponential sum associated to a polynomial in one variable is studied. An explicit arithmetic polygon in terms of the highest two exponents of the polynomial is proved to be a lower bound of the Newton polygon of the…

We use the theory of resultants of polynomials to study the stability of an arbitrary polynomial over a finite field, that is, the property of having all its iterates irreducible. This result partially generalises the quadratic polynomial…

Valiant's famous VP vs. VNP conjecture states that the symbolic permanent polynomial does not have polynomial-size algebraic circuits. However, the best upper bound on the size of the circuits computing the permanent is exponential.…

For univariate polynomials over arbitrary field the degree gives an upper bound on the number of roots (factor theorem) and as a related result for any finite point-set one can construct a polynomial of degree equal to the cardinality…

We give several new lower bounds on size of homogeneous non-commutative circuits. We present an explicit homogeneous bivariate polynomial of degree $d$ which requires homogeneous non-commutative circuit of size $\Omega(d/\log d)$. For an…

For a given monic polynomial $p(t)$ of degree $n$ over a commutative ring $k$, the splitting algebra is the universal $k$-algebra in which $p(t)$ has $n$ roots, or, more precisely, over which $p(t)$ factors, $p(t)=(t-\xi_1)...(t-\xi_n)$.…
