In the group of polynomial automorphisms of the plane, the conjugacy class of an element is closed if and only if the element is diagonalisable. In this article, we show that this does not hold for the group of special automorphisms, giving…
In the complex plane, the frequency response of a univariate polynomial is the set of values taken by the polynomial when evaluated along the imaginary axis. This is an algebraic curve partitioning the plane into several connected…
In this paper we present an unexpected link between the Factorial Conjecture and Furter's Rigidity Conjecture. The Factorial Conjecture in dimension $m$ asserts that if a polynomial $f$ in $m$ variables $X_i$ over $\C$ is such that ${\cal…
An irreducible element of a commutative ring is absolutely irreducible if no power of it has more than one (essentially different) factorization into irreducibles. In the case of the ring $\text{Int}(D)=\{f\in K[x]\mid f(D)\subseteq D\}$,…
In this article we analyze the global diffeomorphism property of polynomial maps $F:\mathbb{R}^n\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^n$ by studying the properties of the Newton polytopes at infinity corresponding to the sum of squares polynomials…
We consider the space $P$ of generic complex 5-degree polynomials. Critical values of such polynomial, i.e. four points in the complex plane, either are vertices of a convex quadrangle $Q$, or vertices of a triangle $T$ with one point…
For given polynomial map $F:\C^2\to\C^2$ with nonvanishing jacobian we associate a variety whose homology or intersection homology describes the geometry of singularities at infinity of this map.
We consider the issue of when the L-polynomial of one curve over $\F_q$ divides the L-polynomial of another curve. We prove a theorem which shows that divisibility follows from a hypothesis that two curves have the same number of points…
In the paper "Geometry of polynomial mapping at infinity via intersection homology" the second and third authors associated to a given polynomial mapping $F : \C^2 \to \C^2$ with nonvanishing jacobian a variety whose homology or…
Let $\Rx$ denote the ring of polynomials in $g$ freely non-commuting variables $x=(x_1,...,x_g)$. There is a natural involution * on $\Rx$ determined by $x_j^*=x_j$ and $(pq)^*=q^* p^*$ and a free polynomial $p\in\Rx$ is symmetric if it is…
We obtain normal forms for symmetric and for reversible polynomial automorphisms (polynomial maps that have polynomial inverses) of the plane. Our normal forms are based on the generalized \Henon normal form of Friedland and Milnor. We…
Let C be an integral projective curve with planar singularities. Consider its Jacobian J and the compactified Jacobian J'. We construct a flat family P of Cohen-Macaulay sheaves on J' parametrized by J'; over J, the family P is the Poincare…
We prove the following autoduality theorem for an integral projective curve C in any characteristic. Given an invertible sheaf L of degree 1, form the corresponding Abel map A_L: C->J, which maps C into its compactified Jacobian, and form…
We show that, under certain circumstances, it is possible to automatically compute Jacobian-inverse-vector and Jacobian-inverse-transpose-vector products about as efficiently as Jacobian-vector and Jacobian-transpose-vector products. The…
In this note we provide two special examples of non-injective polynomial maps from $\mathbb{R}^2$ to $\mathbb{R}^2$ with non-vanishing Jacobian: the first one is surjective, the second one has non-dense image.
The two-dimensional Jacobian Conjecture says that a Keller map $f: (x,y) \mapsto (p,q) \in k[x,y]^2$ having an invertible Jacobian is an automorphism of $k[x,y]$. We prove that there is no Keller map with $[k(x,y): k(p,q)]$ prime.
A real vector space combined with an inverse for vectors is sufficient to define a vector continued fraction whose parameters consist of vector shifts and changes of scale. The choice of sign for different components of the vector inverse…
Let $F$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We consider the question which subsets of $M_n(F)$ can be images of noncommutative polynomials. We prove that a noncommutative polynomial $f$ has only finitely many similarity…
We show that for each fixed non-constant complex polynomial $P$ of the plane there exists a homeomorphism $h$ such that $P\circ h$ is a Lipschitz quotient mapping. This corrects errors in the construction given earlier by Johnson et. al.…
We prove that if a non-singular planar map $\Lambda \in C^2(R^2,R^2)$ has a convex component, then $\Lambda$ is injective. We do not assume strict convexity.
