We study the distribution of partial sums of Rademacher random multiplicative functions $(f(n))_n$ evaluated at polynomial arguments. We show that for a polynomial $P\in \mathbb Z[x]$ that is a product of at least two distinct linear…

Let $F$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We consider the question which subsets of $M_n(F)$ can be images of noncommutative polynomials. We prove that a noncommutative polynomial $f$ has only finitely many similarity…

We relate some terms on the boundary of the Newton polygon of the Alexander polynomial $\Delta(x,y)$ of a rational link to the number and length of monochromatic twist sites in a particular diagram that we call the standard form. Normalize…

We introduce a notion of {\em cyclic Schur-positivity} for sets of permutations, which naturally extends the classical notion of Schur-positivity, and it involves the existence of a bijection from permutations to standard Young tableaux…

Let $A=A_1\oplus\cdots\oplus A_r$ be a decomposition of the algebra $A$ as a direct sum of vector subspaces. If for every choice of the indices $1\le i_j\le r$ there exist $a_{i_j}\in A_{i_j}$ such that the product $a_{i_1}\cdots a_{i_n}\ne…

Jedrzejewicz showed that a polynomial map over a field of characteristic zero is invertible, if and only if the corresponding endomorphism maps irreducible polynomials to irreducible polynomials. Furthermore, he showed that a polynomial map…

We prove a quantitative partial result in support of the Dynamical Mordell-Lang Conjecture (also known as the DML conjecture) in positive characteristic. More precisely, we show the following: given a field $K$ of characteristic $p$, given…

Zaremba's conjecture (1971) states that every positive integer number can be represented as a denominator (continuant) of a finit continued fraction with all partial quotients being bounded by an absolute constant A. Recently (in 2011)…

We prove that the enumerative polynomials of generalized Stirling permutations by the statistics of plateaux, descents and ascents are partial $\gamma$-positive. Specialization of our result to the Jacobi-Stirling permutations confirms a…

Let $\cX$ be the unital *-algebra generated by the unilateral shift operator. It is shown that for any nonnegative operator $X\in \cX$ there is an element $Y\in \cX$ such that $X=Y^*Y$.

Laurent phenomenon algebras, first introduced by Lam and Pylyavskyy, are a generalization of cluster algebras that still possess many salient features of cluster algebras. Graph Laurent phenomenon algebras, defined by Lam and Pylyavskyy,…

Using the LP algebraic toolkit, Conway's original topograph is rethought of as a cluster construction, paving the way for a wider topography based on mutation-type local rules. As a remarkable application of such cluster-driven upgrade,…

We prove the conjectural correspondence between logarithmic Gromov-Witten theory and logarithmic Donaldson/Pandharipande-Thomas theory for pairs $(Y|\partial Y)$ consisting of a toric threefold $Y$ and any torus invariant divisor $\partial…

For a $(3+1)$-free poset $P$, we define a hybrid of $P$-tableaux and cylindric tableaux called cylindric $P$-tableaux. We introduce $P$-analogs of cylindric Schur functions, defined by a determinantal formula, and prove that they are the…

We establish an analogue of the Goldbach conjecture for Laurent polynomials with positive integer coefficients.

Fix any algebraic extension $\mathbb K$ of the field $\mathbb Q$ of rationals. In this article we study exponential sets $V\subset \mathbb R^n$. Such sets are described by the vanishing of so called exponential polynomials, i.e.,…

Let alpha = (a,b,...) be a composition. Consider the associated poset F(alpha), called a fence, whose covering relations are x_1 < x_2 < ... < x_{a+1} > x_{a+2} > ... > x_{a+b+1} < x_{a+b+2} < ... . We study the associated distributive…

Kenyon and Wilson showed how to test if a circular planar electrical network with $n$ nodes is well-connected by checking the positivity of $\binom{n}{2}$ central minors of the response matrix. Their test is based on the fact that any…

Let $F/\QQ $ be a totally real number field of degree $n$. We explicitly evaluate a certain sum of rational functions over a infinite fan of $F$-rational polyhedral cones in terms of the norm map $\Norm \colon F\to \QQ $. This completes…

Let $W$ be a Coxeter group, and for $u,v\in W$, let $R_{u,v}(q)$ be the Kazhdan-Lusztig $R$-polynomial indexed by $u$ and $v$. In this paper, we present a combinatorial proof of the inversion formula on $R$-polynomials due to Kazhdan and…
