We prove that lemniscates (i.e., sets of the form $|P(z)|=1$ where $P$ is a complex polynomial) are irreducible real algebraic curves.

A lemniscate is a curve defined by two foci, F1 and F2. If the distance between the focal points of F1 - F2 is 2a (a: constant), then any point P on the lemniscate curve satisfy the equation PF1 PF2 = a^2. Jacob Bernoulli first described…

We introduce a multivariate analogue of Bernoulli polynomials and give their fundamental properties: difference and differential relations, symmetry, explicit formula, inversion formula, multiplication theorem, and binomial type formula.…

This paper gives an overview of some basic properties of Leibniz algebras. Some of the results were known earlier, but in the article they are accompanied by new simple proofs. Some of the results are new. The article can be viewed as a…

Gauss and Abel proved that the points dividing the unit circle and the lemniscate of Bernoulli in parts of equal length have algebraic coordinates. In this note we generalise these results to the Erd\H{o}s lemniscate with three leaves. We…

In this note, we study polynomial and rational lemniscates as trajectories of related quadratic differentials. Many classic results can be then proved easily...

In this paper, we give a short proof of a relation generalizing many identities for Bernoulli numbers.

We study the lemniscates of rational maps. We prove a reflection principle for the harmonic measure of rational lemniscates and we give estimates for their capacity and the capacity of their components. Also, we prove a version of Schwarz's…

We prove a sharp inequality for the modulus of the logarithmic derivative of a polynomial in the lemniscate components containing no critical points.

We provide direct elementary proofs of several explicit expressions for Bernoulli numbers and Bernoulli polynomials. As a byproduct of our method of proof, we provide natural definitions for generalized Bernoulli numbers and polynomials of…

We prove a curious identity for the Bernoulli numbers.

We prove some basic theorems concerning lemniscate configurations in an Euclidean space of dimension $ n \geq 3$. Lemniscates are defined as follows. Given m points $w_j $ in $\mathbb R^n$, consider the function $F(x)$ which is the product…

It has been known since the work of A.A. Kirillov that any smooth Jordan curve in the plane can be represented by its so-called fingerprint, an orientation preserving smooth diffeomorphism of the unit circle onto itself. In this paper, we…

We prove that, in every dimension, Lipschitz nonlocal minimal surfaces are smooth. Also, we extend to the nonlocal setting a famous theorem of De Giorgi stating that the validity of Bernstein's theorem in dimension $n+1$ is a consequence of…

In this paper, we establish an identity for Bernoulli's generalized polynomials. We deduce generalizations for many relations involving classical Bernoulli numbers or polynomials. In particular, we generalize a recent Gessel identity.

Johann Bernoulli's optical solution of the brachistochrone problem is rebuilt on underlying (non-optical) principles. An "optical interpretation" is given afterwards.

By using Christol and Mebkhout's algebrization and finiteness theorem, we prove that in the case of smooth curves, Berthelot's strongest conjecture on the stability of holonomicity is still valid without Frobenius structure but under some…

We introduce generalized hypergeometric Bernoulli numbers for Dirichlet characters. We study their properties, including relations, expressions and determinants. At the end in Appendix we derive first few expressions of these numbers.

In this lecture notes we try to familiarize the audience with the theory of Bernoulli polynomials; we study their properties, and we give, with proofs and references, some of the most relevant results related to them. Several applications…

In this note, we shall provide several properties of hypergeometric Bernoulli numbers and polynomials, including sums of products identity, differential equations and recurrence formulas.
