Using Stickelberger's theorem on Gauss sums, we show that if $F$ is a planar function on a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, then for all non-zero functions $G : \mathbb{F}_q \to \mathbb{F}_q$, we have \begin{equation*} d_{\mathsf{alg}}(G \circ…

Results of somewhat mysterious nature are known on the location of zeros of certain polynomials associated with statistical mechanics (Lee-Yang circle theorem) and also with graph counting. In an attempt at clarifying the situation we…

We present examples of holomorphic functions that vanish to in- finite order at points at the boundary of their domain of definition. They give rise to examples of Dirichlet minimizing Q-valued functions indicating that "higher"-regularity…

We count algebraic points of bounded height and degree on the graphs of certain functions analytic on the unit disk, obtaining a bound which is polynomial in the degree and in the logarithm of the multiplicative height. We combine this work…

The primary purpose of this article is to study the asymptotic and numerical estimates in detail for higher degree polynomials in $\pi(x)$ having a general expression of the form, \begin{align*} P(\pi(x)) - \frac{e x}{\log x} Q(\pi(x/e)) +…

A path $P$ in a graph $G$ is said to be a degree monotone path if the sequence of degrees of the vertices of $P$ in the order in which they appear on $P$ is monotonic. The length of the longest degree monotone path in $G$ is denoted by…

Classical planar functions are functions from a finite field to itself and give rise to finite projective planes. They exist however only for fields of odd characteristic. We study their natural counterparts in characteristic two, which we…

Let $A$ be a retract of the polynomial ring in three variables over a field $k$. It is known that if ${\rm char}\: (k) = 0$ or ${\rm tr.deg}\:_k A \not= 2$ then $A$ is a polynomial ring. In this paper, we give some sufficient conditions for…

In this article, we give a full description of the Wadge degrees of Borel functions from $\omega^\omega$ to a better quasi ordering $\mathcal{Q}$. More precisely, for any countable ordinal $\xi$, we show that the Wadge degrees of…

Let X be a projective scheme over a finite field. In this paper, we consider the asymptotic behavior of the number of effective cycles on X with bounded degree as it goes to the infinity. By this estimate, we can define a certain kind of…

We study a special case of the configuration model, in which almost all the vertices of the graph have degree $2$. We show that the graph has a very peculiar and interesting behaviour, in particular when the graph is made up by a vast…

In 2004 Shestakov and Umirbaev proved that the Nagata automorphism of the polynomial algebra in three variables is wild. We fix a Z-grading on this algebra and consider graded-wild automorphisms, i.e. such automorphisms that can not be…

We consider systems $\vec{F}(\vec{x})$ of $R$ homogeneous forms of the same degree $d$ in $n$ variables with integral coefficients. If $n\geq d2^dR+R$ and the coefficients of $\vec{F}$ lie in an explicit Zariski open set, we give a…

We analyze the space of bivariate functions that are piecewise polynomial of bi-degree \textless{}= (m, m') and of smoothness r along the interior edges of a planar T-mesh. We give new combinatorial lower and upper bounds for the dimension…

We derive polynomial identities of arbitrary degree $n$ for syzygies degrees of numerical semigroups S_m=<d_1,...,d_m> and show that for n>=m they contain higher genera G_r=\sum_{s\in Z_>\setminus S_m}s^r of S_m. We find a number…

For any fixed integer $R \geq 2$ we characterise the typical structure of undirected graphs with vertices $1, ..., n$ and maximum degree $R$, as $n$ tends to infinity. The information is used to prove that such graphs satisfy a labelled…

This paper investigates the p-adic valuation trees of degree-2 and degree-3 polynomials in two variables over any prime p, building upon prior research outlined in [14].

We define arithmetical and dynamical degrees for dynamical systems with several rational maps on projective varieties, study their properties and relations, and prove the existence of a canonical height function associated with divisorial…

By restricting the variables running over various (possibly different) subfields, we introduce the notion of a partial zeta function. We prove that the partial zeta function is rational in an interesting case, generalizing Dwork's well…

Given i.i.d. positive integer valued random variables D_1,...,D_n, one can ask whether there is a simple graph on n vertices so that the degrees of the vertices are D_1,...,D_n. We give sufficient conditions on the distribution of D_i for…
