We explore the interplay between algebraic combinatorics and algorithmic problems in graph theory by defining a polynomial with connections to correspondence colouring (also known as DP-colouring), a recent generalization of list-colouring,…

We investigate a family of permutation polynomials of finite fields of characteristic 2. Through a connection between permutation polynomials and quadratic forms, a general treatment is presented to characterize these permutation…

In this paper, we get several new results on permutation polynomials over finite fields. First, by using the linear translator, we construct permutation polynomials of the forms $L(x)+\sum_{j=1}^k \gamma_jh_j(f_j(x))$ and…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field and $\mathrm{M}(2,K)$ be the $2\times 2$ matrix algebra over $K$ and $\mathrm{GL}(2,K)$ be the invertible elements in $\mathrm{M}(2,K)$. We explore the image of polynomials with constants, namely…

In this paper we construct a bivariant Chern character defined on ``families of spectral triples''. Such families should be viewed as a version of unbounded Kasparov bimodules adapted to the category of bornological algebras. The Chern…

Let $p\ge 5$ be a prime and let $P$ be a Sylow $p$-subgroup of a finite symmetric group. To every irreducible character of $P$ we associate a collection of labelled, complete $p$-ary trees. The main results of this article describe Sylow…
