An infinite family of irreducible homogeneous free divisors in $K[x, y, z]$ is constructed. Indeed, we identify sets of monomials $X$ such that the general polynomial supported on $X$ is a free divisor.

This paper concerns the distribution of Selmer ranks in a family of even Galois representations in even residual characteristic obtained by allowing ramification at auxiliary primes. The main result is a Galois cohomological analogue of a…

Fix two distinct primes $p$ and $\ell$. Let $A$ be an abelian variety over $\mathbf{Q}(\zeta_{\ell})$, the cyclotomic field of $\ell$-th roots of unity. Suppose that $A(\mathbf{Q}(\zeta_{\ell}))[\ell] \neq 0$. We show that there exists a…

The author proves that for $0.9985 < \gamma < 1$, there exist infinitely many primes $p$ such that $[p^{1/\gamma}]$ has at most 5 prime factors counted with multiplicity. This gives an improvement upon the previous results of…

The author \cite{4} proved that, for every set $S$ of positive integers containing 1 (finite or infinite) there exists the density $h=h(E(S))$ of the set $E(S)$ of numbers whose prime factorizations contain exponents only from $S,$ and gave…

We describe the infinite family of spider-web graphs $S_{k,M,N }$, $k \geq 2$, $M \geq 1$ and $N \geq 0$, studied in physical literature as tensor products of well-known de Brujin graphs $B_{k,N}$ and cyclic graphs $C_M$ and show that these…

For any integer $r$ with $1\leq r<\infty$, we present a one-parameter family $F_\sigma$ $(0<\sigma<1)$ of 2-dimensional piecewise $\mathcal C^r$ expanding maps such that each $F_\sigma$ has an observable (i.e. Lebesgue positive) Lyapunov…

In this paper we define the $p$-density of a finite subset $D\subset\ma{N}^r$, and show that it gives a good lower bound for the $p$-adic valuation of exponential sums over finite fields of characteristic $p$. We also give an application:…

In this paper we show there exists an infinite family of number fields $L$, Galois over $\mathbb{Q}$, for which the smallest prime $p$ of $\mathbb{Q}$ which splits completely in $L$ has size at least $( \log(|D_L|) )^{2+o(1)}$. This gives a…

Let $ G $ be a finite group of order $ n$. The strong power graph $\mathcal{P}_s(G) $ of $G$ is the undirected graph whose vertices are the elements of $G$ such that two distinct vertices $a$ and $b$ are adjacent if $a^{{m}_1}$=$b^{{m}_2}$…

In this paper we describe an infinite family of Cameron-Liebler line classes of ${\rm PG}(3,q)$ with parameter $(q^2 + 1)/2$, $q\equiv 1\pmod{4}$. The example obtained admits ${\rm PGL}(2,q)$ as an automorphism group and it is shown to be…

We produce a new family of polynomials f(x) over fields K of characteristic 2 which are exceptional, in the sense that f(x)-f(y) has no absolutely irreducible factors in K[x,y] besides the scalar multiples of x-y; when K is finite, this…

We construct a new family of trivalent expanders tessellating hyperbolic surfaces with large isometry groups. These graphs are obtained from a family of Cayley graphs of nilpotent groups via $(\Delta-Y)$-transformations. We compare this…

Let K be a finite extension of Qp. We fix a continuous absolutely irreducible representation of the absolute Galois group of K over a finite dimensional vector space with coefficient in a finite field of characteristic p and consider its…

It was proved in (Levit and Mandrescu, 2022) that both $(V(G), Crown(G))$ and $(V(G), CritIndep(G))$ are augmentoids, established partial augmentation phenomena for the family $\Psi(G)$ of local maximum independent sets, and asked in…

We provide an explicit infinite family of integers $m$ such that all the polynomials of ${\mathbb F}_{2^n}[x]$ of degree $m$ have maximal differential uniformity for $n$ large enough. We also prove a conjecture of the third author in these…

Let $\PP^d$ be the $d$-fold direct product of the set of primes. We prove that if $A$ is a subset of $\PP^d$ of positive relative upper density then $A$ contains infinitely many "corners", that is sets of the form $\{x,x+te_1,...,x+te_d\}$…

The \emph{critical} group of a finite connected graph is an abelian group defined by the Smith normal form of its Laplacian. Let $q$ be a power of a prime and $H$ be a multiplicative subgroup of $K=\mathbb{F}_{q}$. By $\mathrm{Cay}(K,H)$ we…
