We prove the following finite jet determination result for CR mappings: Given a smooth generic submanifold M of C^N, N >= 2, which is essentially finite and of finite type at each of its points, for every point p on M there exists an…
We give a conditional proof of the Uniform Boundedness Conjecture of Morton and Silverman in the case of polynomials over number fields, assuming a standard conjecture in arithmetic geometry. Our technique simultaneously yields a dynamical…
The long-standing problem of minimal projections is addressed from a computational point of view. Techniques to determine bounds on the projection constants of univariate polynomial spaces are presented. The upper bound, produced by a…
We generalize the recent work of S. Fomin and G. Mikhalkin on polynomial formulas for Severi degrees. The degree of the Severi variety of plane curves of degree d and delta nodes is given by a polynomial in d, provided delta is fixed and d…
In this paper, we introduce the partial-dual polynomial for hypermaps, extending the concept from ribbon graphs. We discuss the basic properties of this polynomial and characterize it for hypermaps with exactly one hypervertex containing a…
We consider the class of all homogeneous, possibly non-reduced, polynomials $f$ whose associated reduced projective divisor $D_{\text{red}} \subset \mathbb{P}^{n-1}$ has (at worst) quasi-homogeneous isolated singularities. In an arbitrary…
The chromatic polynomial is a well studied object in graph theory. There are many results and conjectures about the log-concavity of the chromatic polynomial and other polynomials related to it. The location of the roots of these…
The Casas-Alvero conjecture predicts that every univariate polynomial over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero sharing a common factor with each of its Hasse-Schmidt derivatives is a power of a linear polynomial. The…
We prove that, over any field, the dimension of the indeterminacy locus of a rational transformation $f$ of $P^n$ which is defined by monomials of the same degree $d$ with no common factors is at least $(n-2)/2$, provided that the degree of…
Let $\cal{A}$ be the algebra of quaternions $\mathbb{H}$ or octonions $\mathbb{O}$. In this manuscript a new proof is given, based on ideas of Cauchy and D' Alembert, of the fact that an ordinary polynomial $f(t) \in {\cal{A}}\, [t]$ has a…
In this paper we characterize real bivariate polynomials which have a small range over large Cartesian products. We show that for every constant-degree bivariate real polynomial $f$, either $|f(A,B)|=\Omega(n^{4/3})$, for every pair of…
We study the discrete dynamics of standard (or left) polynomials $f(x)$ over division rings $D$. We define their fixed points to be the points $\lambda \in D$ for which $f^{\circ n}(\lambda)=\lambda$ for any $n \in \mathbb{N}$, where…
We study the structure of bounded degree polynomials over finite fields. Haramaty and Shpilka [STOC 2010] showed that biased degree three or four polynomials admit a strong structural property. We confirm that this is the case for degree…
In this article, we introduce and investigate polynomial curvelets on spheres, which form a class of Parseval frames for $L^2(\mathbb{S}^{d-1})$, $d \geq 3$. The proposed construction offers a directionally sensitive multiscale…
A sharp bound is obtained for the number of ways to express the monomial $X^n$ as a product of linear factors over $\mathbb{Z}/p^{\alpha}\mathbb{Z}$. The proof relies on an induction-on-scale procedure which is used to estimate the number…
We give an upper bound in O(d ^((n+1)/2)) for the number of critical points of a normal random polynomial with degree d and at most n variables. Using the large deviation principle for the spectral value of large random matrices we obtain…
We prove that, for every invertible horizontal-like map (i.e., H{\'e}non-like map) in any dimension, the sequence of the dynamical degrees is increasing until that of maximal value, which is the main dynamical degree, and decreasing after…
We show that, apart from some obvious exceptions, the number of trinomials vanishing at given complex numbers is bounded by an absolute constant. When the numbers are algebraic, we also bound effectively the degrees and the heights of these…
It is shown that any smooth closed orientable manifold of dimension $2k + 1$, $k \geq 2$, admits a smooth polynomially convex embedding into $\mathbb C^{3k}$. This improves by $1$ the previously known lower bound of $3k+1$ on the possible…
In 2016, Ananyan and Hochster gave the first proof of a positive answer to Stillman's Question, which asked for a bound on the projective dimension of a graded polynomial ideal purely in terms of the number and degrees of its generators.…
