We derive basic properties of minimal extensions of local rings and their restrictions to subrings. Some applications are included to subrings of truncated polynomial rings.

The positive semidefinite (psd) rank of a polytope is the smallest $k$ for which the cone of $k \times k$ real symmetric psd matrices admits an affine slice that projects onto the polytope. In this paper we show that the psd rank of a…

We give a new lower bound for the discrete norm of a polynomial on the circle

These are the notes of my lectures at the 1996 European Congress of Mathematicians. {} Polynomials appear in mathematics frequently, and we all know from experience that low degree polynomials are easier to deal with than high degree ones.…

We generalize the usual relationship between irreducible Zariski closed subsets of the affine space, their defining ideals, coordinate rings, and function fields, to a non-commutative setting, where "varieties" carry a PGL_n-action, regular…

Let $R$ be a ring and $B = R[X_1, \dots, X_n]$ the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over $R$. In this article, we consider retractions $\varphi : B \longrightarrow B$ such that $\varphi(X_i)$ is either a monic monomial or $0$. We prove that…

Nearly convex sets play important roles in convex analysis, optimization and theory of monotone operators. We give a systematic study of nearly convex sets, and construct examples of subdifferentials of lower semicontinuous convex functions…

We define a family of functionals, called p-oscillation functionals, that can be interpreted as discrete versions of the classical total variation functional for p=1 and of the p-Dirichlet functionals for p>1. We introduce the notion of…

For a large prime $p$, and a polynomial $f$ over a finite field $F_p$ of $p$ elements, we obtain a lower bound on the size of the multiplicative subgroup of $F_p^*$ containing $H\ge 1$ consecutive values $f(x)$, $x = u+1, \ldots, u+H$,…

Let $D$ be a domain in a finite-dimensional Euclidean space, and $H$ be a convex subcone in the convex cone of all subharmonic functions on $D$. We obtain a criterion for the existence of a lower envelope from $H$ for an arbitrary function…

We study the rational approximation properties of special manifolds defined by a set of polynomials with rational coefficients. Mostly we will assume the case of all polynomials to depend on only one variable. In this case the manifold can…

We show that every bounded hyperconvex Reinhardt domain can be approximated by special polynomial polyhedra defined by homogeneous polynomial mappings. This is achieved by means of approximation of the pluricomplex Green function of the…

The *reciprocal complement* $R(D)$ of an integral domain $D$ is the subring of its fraction field generated by the reciprocals of its nonzero elements. Many properties of $R(D)$ are determined when $D$ is a polynomial ring in $n\geq 2$…

This note investigates two long-standing conjectures on the Krull dimension of integer-valued polynomial rings and of polynomial rings, respectively, in the context of (locally) essential domains.

We consider diophantine subsets of function fields of curves and show, roughly speaking, that they are either very small or very large. In particular, this implies that the ring of polynomials $k[t]$ is a not a diophantine subset of the…

This paper extends earlier work on the distribution in the complex plane of the roots of random polynomials. In this paper, the random polynomials are generalized to random finite sums of given "basis" functions. The basis functions are…

We show existence of fundamental domains which minimize a general perimeter functional in a homogeneous metric measure space. In some cases, which include the usual perimeter in the universal cover of a closed Riemannian manifold, and the…

For a (not necessarily locally convex) topological vector space $\mathcal{X}$ of holomorphic functions in one complex variable, we show that the shift invariant subspace generated by a set of polynomials is $\mathcal{X}$ if and only if…

For a polynomial $f(x)\in\mathbb Z[x]$ without non-trivial linear relations among roots, we propose a conjecture on the distribution of the least root $r_p$ ($r_p\in\mathbb Z,\,0\le r_p<p)$ of $f(x)\equiv0\bmod p$ where $p$ runs over the…

This paper studies the hierarchy of local minimums of a polynomial in the space. For this purpose, we first compute H-minimums, for which the first and second order optimality conditions are satisfied. To compute each H-minimum, we…
