The objective of this paper is, in the main, twofold: Firstly, to develop an algebraic setting for dealing with Bell polynomials and related extensions. Secondly, based on the author's previous work on multivariate Stirling polynomials…
We present a more general proof that cyclotomic polynomials are irreducible over Q and other number fields that meet certain conditions. The proof provides a new perspective that ties together well-known results, as well as some new…
We study the quantitative relationship between the cones of nonnegative polynomials, cones of sums of squares and cones of sums of powers of linear forms. We derive bounds on the volumes (raised to the power reciprocal to the ambient…
In recent years, much work has been devoted to a systematic study of polynomial identities certifying strict or non-strict positivity of a polynomial on a basic closed semialgebraic set. The interest in such identities originates not least…
We consider the following question posted by K.I. Beidar and A.V. Mikhalev in 1995 for an associative ring $R=R_1+R_2$: is it true that if the subrings $R_1$ and $R_2$ satisfy polynomial identities, then $R$ also satisfies a polynomial…
We characterize left and right amenable semigroups of polynomials of one complex variable with respect to the composition operation. We also prove a number of results about amenable semigroups of arbitrary rational functions. In particular,…
In this note, we study substructures of generalised power series fields induced by families of well-ordered subsets of the group of exponents. We characterise the set-theoretic and algebraic properties of the induced substructures in terms…
In this paper we establish some applications of the Scherer-Hol's theorem for polynomial matrices. Firstly, we give a representation for polynomial matrices positive definite on subsets of compact polyhedra. Then we establish a…
We present a Hilbert space geometric approach to the problem of characterizing the positive bivariate trigonometric polynomials that can be represented as the square of a two variable polynomial possessing a certain stability requirement,…
The power structure over the Grothendieck (semi)ring of complex quasi-projective varieties constructed by the authors is used to express the generating series of classes of Hilbert schemes of zero-dimensional subschemes on a smooth…
This is a short note about Schur positivity. We introduce Schur polynomials and explain how they appear in the representation theory of the general linear group. We end with a new result of the author with F. Bergeron and V. Reiner that…
We introduce a complete radical formula for modules over non-commutative rings which is the equivalence of a radical formula in the setting of modules defined over commutative rings. This gives a general frame work through which known…
Given $p$ polynomials with coefficients in a commutative unitary integral ring $\mathcal{C}$ containing $\mathbb{Q}$, we define the notion of a generic Bernstein-Sato polynomial on an irreducible affine scheme $V \subset…
We consider two seemingly unrelated questions: the relationship between nonnegative polynomials and sums of squares on real varieties, and sparse semidefinite programming. This connection is natural when a real variety $X$ is defined by a…
We provide a partial classification of positive linear maps in matrix algebras which is based on a family of spectral conditions. This construction generalizes celebrated Choi example of a map which is positive but not completely positive.…
This paper deals with a class of nonlinear elliptic equations involving a critical power-nonlinearity as well as a potential featuring multiple inverse square singularities. When the poles form a symmetric structure, it is natural we wonder…
We first show that a continuous function f is nonnegative on a closed set $K\subseteq R^n$ if and only if (countably many) moment matrices of some signed measure $d\nu =fd\mu$ with support equal to K, are all positive semidefinite (if $K$…
In this paper, we study higher derivations of Jacobian type in positive characteristic. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for $(n-1)$-tuples of polynomials to be extendable in the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over an integral…
The behavior of factorization properties in various ring extensions is a central theme in commutative algebra. Classically, the UFDs are (completely) integrally closed and tend to behave well in standard ring extensions, with the notable…
We consider systems of strict multivariate polynomial inequalities over the reals. All polynomial coefficients are parameters ranging over the reals, where for each coefficient we prescribe its sign. We are interested in the existence of…
