In this article, we consider the reciprocal antisymmetric polynomial \[P(z) = \sum_{j = 0}^{s}(-1)^j\gamma_j\left(z^j - z^{N + s + 1 - j}\right), \ \gamma_0 = 1.\] It is shown that if all the zeros of $P(z)$ are located on the unit circle,…
A polynomial is called self-reciprocal (or palindromic) if the sequence of its coefficients is palindromic. In this paper we enumerate self-reciprocal irreducible monic polynomials over a finite field with prescribed leading coefficients.…
In this article, we consider the singularity of an arbitrary homogeneous polynomial with complex coefficients $f(x_0,\dots,x_n)$ at the origin of $\mathbb C^{n+1}$, via the study of the monodromy characteristic polynomials $\Delta_l(t)$,…
Given a linear recurrence of the form $c_n=a_1c_{n-1}+\cdots+a_j c_{n-j}$, it is well-known that $c_n=\sum_{r}p_r(n)r^n$, where the sum is taken over the set of characteristic roots and each $p_r(n)$ is some polynomial. We give a closed…
Generalizing a result of \cite{Z1991, CPZ} about elliptic modular forms, we give a closed formula for the sum of all Hilbert Hecke eigenforms over a totally real number field with strict class number $1$, multiplied by their period…
Let $P(z)=\sum_{n=0}^Na_nz^n$ be a Littlewood polynomial of degree $N$, meaning that $a_n\in\{\pm 1\}$. We say that $P$ is reciprocal if $P(z)=z^NP(1/z)$. Borwein, Erd\'elyi and Littmann posed the question of determining the minimum number…
Littlewood polynomials are polynomials with each of their coefficients in $\{-1,1\}$. A sequence of Littlewood polynomials that satisfies a remarkable flatness property on the unit circle of the complex plane is given by the Rudin-Shapiro…
We study congruences of the form F(j(z)) | U(p) = G(j(z)) mod p, where U(p) is the p-th Hecke operator, j is the basic modular invariant 1/q+744+196884q+... for SL2(Z), and F,G are polynomials with integer coefficients. Using the interplay…
A polynomial family $\{p_n(x)\}$ is Appell if it is given by $\frac{e^{xt}}{g(t)} = \sum_{n=0}^\infty p_n(x)t^n$ or, equivalently, $p_n'(x) = p_{n-1}(x)$. If $g(t)$ is an entire function, $g(0)\neq 0$, with at least one zero, the…
For a tuple $A=(A_1,\ A_2,\ ...,\ A_n)$ of elements in a unital algebra ${\mathcal B}$ over $\mathbb{C}$, its {\em projective spectrum} $P(A)$ or $p(A)$ is the collection of $z\in \mathbb{C}^n$, or respectively $z\in \mathbb{P}^{n-1}$ such…
If $P(z)=\sum_{j=0}^{n}a_jz^j$ is a polynomial of degree $n$ having no zero in $|z|<1,$ then it was recently proved that for every $p\in[0,+\infty]$ and $s=0,1,\ldots,n-1,$ \begin{align*} \left\|a_nz+\frac{a_s}{\binom{n}{s}}\right\|_{p}\leq…
We introduce two explicit examples of polynomials orthogonal on the unit circle. Moments and the reflection coefficients are expressed in terms of Jacobi elliptic functions. We find explicit expression for these polynomials in terms of a…
Let $(T,\langle \cdot, \cdot, \cdot \rangle)$ be a Leibniz triple system of arbitrary dimension, over an arbitrary base field ${\mathbb F}$. A basis ${\mathcal B} = \{e_{i}\}_{i \in I}$ of $T$ is called multiplicative if for any $i,j,k \in…
We study the parameter space of unicritical polynomials $f_c:z\mapsto z^d+c$. For complex parameters, we prove that for Lebesgue almost every $c$, the map $f_c$ is either hyperbolic or infinitely renormalizable. For real parameters, we…

Let $p(z)$ be a monic polynomial of degree $n$, with complex coefficients, and let $q(z)$ be its monic factor. We prove an asymptotically sharp inequality of the form $\|q\|_{E} \le C^n \|p\|_E$, where $\|\cdot\|_E$ denotes the sup norm on…
Denote by p_k the k-th power sum symmetric polynomial n variables. The interpretation of the q-analogue of the binomial coefficient as Hilbert function leads us to discover that n consecutive power sums in n variables form a regular…
