We present a new approach to the ideal membership problem for polynomial rings over the integers: given polynomials $f_0,f_1,...,f_n\in\Z[X]$, where $X=(X_1,...,X_N)$ is an $N$-tuple of indeterminates, are there $g_1,...,g_n\in\Z[X]$ such…

Many-to-one mappings and permutation polynomials over finite fields have important applications in cryptography and coding theory. In this paper, we study the many-to-one property of a large class of polynomials such as $f(x) = h(a x^q + b…

Let $p$ be a rational prime and $q$ a power of $p$. Let $\wp$ be a monic irreducible polynomial of degree $d$ in $\mathbf{F}_q[t]$. In this paper, we define an analogue of the Hodge-Tate map which is suitable for the study of Drinfeld…

We prove some improvements of the classical Weil bound for one variable additive and multiplicative character sums associated to a polynomial over a finite field $k=\Fq$ for two classes of polynomials which are invariant under a large…

Let $R$ be a polynomial ring over a field of characteristic zero and let $I \subset R$ be a graded ideal of height $N$ which is minimally generated by $N+1$ homogeneous polynomials. If $I=(f_1,...,f_{N+1})$ where $f_i$ has degree $d_i$ and…

Let F and K be fields of characteristic 0, with F a subset of K. Let K[x] denote the ring of polynomials with coefficients in K. For p in K[x]\F[x], deg(p) = n, let r be the highest power of x with a coefficient not in F. We define the F…

We note that the recent polynomial proofs of the spherical and complex plank covering problems by Zhao and Ortega-Moreno give some general information on zeros of real and complex polynomials restricted to the unit sphere. As a corollary of…

The present paper is devoted to the study of classes of mappings with non-bounded characteristic of quasiconformality. It is obtained a result on normal families of the open discrete mappings $f:D\rightarrow {\Bbb C}\setminus\{a, b\}$ of…

We give a global version of Le-Ramanujam mu-constant theorem for polynomials. Let f_t, (t in [0,1]), be a family of polynomials of n complex variables with isolated singularities, whose coefficients are polynomials in t. We consider the…

The partition function is known to exhibit beautiful congruences that are often proved using the theory of modular forms. In this paper, we study the extent to which these congruence results apply to the generalized Frobenius partitions…

We introduce two kinds of gauge invariants for any finite-dimensional Hopf algebra H. When H is semisimple over C, these invariants are respectively, the trace of the map induced by the antipode on the endomorphism ring of a self-dual…

The valence of a function f at a point $z_0$ is the number of distinct, finite solutions to $f(z) = z_0.$ In this paper, we bound the valence of complex-valued harmonic polynomials in the plane for some special harmonic polynomials of the…

For $\ell\geq 2$ and $h\in \mathbb{Z}[x_1,\dots,x_{\ell}]$ of degree $k\geq 2$, we show that every set $A\subseteq \{1,2,\dots,N\}$ lacking nonzero differences in $h(\mathbb{Z}^{\ell})$ satisfies $|A|\ll_h Ne^{-c(\log N)^{\mu}}$, where…

Representations of Boolean functions by real polynomials play an important role in complexity theory. Typically, one is interested in the least degree of a polynomial p(x_1,...,x_n) that approximates or sign-represents a given Boolean…

Given a polynomial \[ f(x)=a_0x^n+a_1x^{n-1}+\cdots +a_n \] with positive coefficients $a_k$, and a positive integer $M\leq n$, we define a(n infinite) generalized Hurwitz matrix $H_M(f):=(a_{Mj-i})_{i,j}$. We prove that the polynomial…

We show that for any polynomial $f: \mathbb{Z}\to \mathbb{Z}$ with positive leading coefficient and irreducible over $\mathbb{Q}$, if $N$ is large enough then there are two strings of consecutive positive integers $I_{1}=\{n_1-m,\ldots,…

Let p, ell be distinct primes and let q be a power of p. Let G be a connected compact Lie group. We show that there exists an integer b such that the mod ell cohomology of the classifying space of a finite Chevalley group G(F_q) is…

In this paper we establish function field versions of two classical conjectures on prime numbers. The first says that the number of primes in intervals (x,x+x^epsilon] is about x^epsilon/log x and the second says that the number of primes…

It is proved that an irreducible quasifinite $W_\infty$-module is a highest or lowest weight module or a module of the intermediate series; a uniformly bounded indecomposable weight $W_\infty$-module is a module of the intermediate series.…

We show that if an open cover of a finite dimensional space is equivariant with respect to some finite group action on the space then there is an equivariant refinement of bounded dimension. This will generalize some constructions of…
