For $D$ a natural number that is not a perfect square and for $k$ a non-zero integer, consider the subset $\mathbb{Z}_k(\sqrt{D})$ of the quadratic integer ring $\mathbb{Z}(\sqrt{D})$ consisting of elements $x+y\sqrt{D}$ for which $x^2 -…

We discuss quantum graphs consisting of a compact part and semiinfinite leads. Such a system may have embedded eigenvalues if some edge lengths in the compact part are rationally related. If such a relation is perturbed these eigenvalues…

In this paper, we give some counting results on integer polynomials of fixed degree and bounded height whose distinct non-zero roots are multiplicatively dependent. These include sharp lower bounds, upper bounds and asymptotic formulas for…

In a field of Laurent series, we construct a subring which has a module structure over a Weyl algebra. Identities of Bernoulli numbers and polynomials are obtained from these algebraic structures.

Let $w$ be a weight on the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ having the form \[w(z)=|v(z)|^2\prod_{k=1}^s\left|\frac{z-a_k}{1-z\overline{a}_k}\right|^{m_k}\,,\quad m_k>-2,\ |a_k|<1,\] where $v$ is analytic and free of zeros in $\overline{\mathbb{D}}$,…

Within the framework of supersymmetric quantum mechanics, we study the simplified version of potential algebra of shape invariance condition in k steps, where k is an arbitrary positive integer. The associated potential algebra is found to…

Fewnomial theory began with explicit bounds -- solely in terms of the number of variables and monomial terms -- on the number of real roots of systems of polynomial equations. Here we take the next logical step of investigating the…

A number field $k$ admits a binary integral quadratic form which represents all integers locally but not globally if and only if the class number of $k$ is bigger than one. In this case, there are only finitely many classes of such binary…

We provide an irreducibility test in the ring K[[x]][y] whose complexity is quasi-linear with respect to the valuation of the discriminant, assuming the input polynomial F square-free and K a perfect field of characteristic zero or greater…

For $X \sim X(n; 1, n^{-\alpha_1}, n^{-\alpha_2}, ...)$ in the multiparameter random simplicial complex model we establish necessary and sufficient strict inequalities on the $\alpha_i$'s to linearly embed the complex into…

To study any dynamical system it is useful to find a partition that allows essentially faithful encoding (injective, up to a small exceptional set) into a subshift. Most topological and measure-theoretic systems can be represented by…

Chordal clutters in the sense of [14] and [3] are defined via simplicial orders. Their circuit ideal has a linear resolution, independent of the characteristic of the base field. We show that any Betti sequence of an ideal with linear…

This article studies separating invariants for the ring of multisymmetric polynomials in $m$ sets of $n$ variables over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{K}$. We prove that in order to obtain separating sets it is enough to consider polynomials…

Arthur Cohn's irreducibility criterion for polynomials with integer coefficients and its generalization connect primes to irreducibles, and integral bases to the variable $x$. As we follow this link, we find that these polynomials are ready…

Let $(P_n)_n$ and $(Q_n)_n$ be two sequences of monic polynomials linked by a type structure relation such as $$ Q_{n}(x)+r_nQ_{n-1}(x)=P_{n}(x)+s_nP_{n-1}(x)+t_nP_{n-2}(x)\;, $$ where $(r_n)_n$, $(s_n)_n$ and $(t_n)_n$ are sequences of…

A conjecture of Kalai from 1994 posits that for an arbitrary $2\leq k\leq \lfloor d/2 \rfloor$, the combinatorial type of a simplicial $d$-polytope $P$ is uniquely determined by the $(k-1)$-skeleton of $P$ (given as an abstract simplicial…

We present a new approach to deal with Fraenkel's conjecture, which describes how the integers can be partitioned into sets of rational Beatty sequences, in the case where the numerators of the moduli are equal. We use this approach to give…

In this paper, we investigate some properties of several Sheffer sequences of several polynomials arising from umbral calculus. From our investigation, we can derive many interesting identities of several polynomials

We study algebraic properties of full rank 1 algebras in a general framework and derive a method to verify if one such matrix polynomial sub-algebra is bispectral. We give two examples illustrating the method. In the first one, we consider…

We propose a combinatorial framework to analyze quantitative Helly-type questions. Using this framework, we prove a Quantitative Fractional Helly Theorem with Fractional Helly Number 3d and a stability version of the Quantitative Helly…
