We present an algorithm to decide whether a given ideal in the polynomial ring contains a monomial without using Gr\"obner bases, factorization or sub-resultant computations.
In this paper we consider linear combinations of two trivariate homogeneous polynomials of second degree. We formulate and solve two problems: i) Characterization of polynomials for which all linear combinations are factorizable. ii) How…
We introduce a sequence $P_{2n}$ of monic reciprocal polynomials with integer coefficients having the central coefficients fixed. We prove that the ratio between number of nonunimodular roots of $P_{2n}$ and its degree $d$ has a limit when…
Given any $\varepsilon>0$, we construct an orthonormal system of $n_k$ uniformly bounded polynomials of degree at most $k$ on the unit sphere in $\mathbb R^{m+1}$ where $n_k$ is bigger than $1-\varepsilon$ times the dimension of the space…
We prove that a monomial ideal $I$ generated in a single degree, is polymatroidal if and only if it has linear quotients with respect to the lexicographical ordering of the minimal generators induced by every ordering of variables. We also…
In this paper, we will investigate the solvability of the equation $x_1^k + x_2^k + \ldots + x_s^k = n$, $n\in \mathbb{Z}_{p^k}$, $x_1,...,x_s\in \mathcal{A}$, $\mathcal{A}\subseteq \mathbb{Z}_{p^k}$. We will give a upper bound of the…
Apolarity is an important tool in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry which studies a form, $f$, by the action of polynomial differential operators on $f$. The quotient of all polynomial differential operators by those which…
We study monomial ideals, always locally given by a monomial, like a reasonable first step to estimate in general the number of monoidal transformations of Villamayor's algorithm of resolution of singularities. The resolution of a monomial…
In this paper, we study a density version of the Waring-Goldbach problem. Suppose that A is a subset of the primes, and the lower density of A in the primes is larger than 1-1/2k. We prove that every sufficiently large natural number n…
For an ideal $I$ in a polynomial ring over a field, a monomial support of $I$ is the set of monomials that appear as terms in a set of minimal generators of $I$. Craig Huneke asked whether the size of a monomial support is a bound for the…
Let S=K[x_1,...,x_n] be a polynomial ring. Denote by $p_a$ the power sum symmetric polynomial x_1^a+...+x_n^a. We consider the following two questions: Describe the subsets $A \subset \mathbb{N}$ such that the set of polynomials $p_a$ with…
We bound the tensor ranks of elementary symmetric polynomials, and we give explicit decompositions into powers of linear forms. The bound is attained when the degree is odd.
A classic result of Ritt describes polynomials invertible in radicals: they are compositions of power polynomials, Chebyshev polynomials and polynomials of degree at most 4. In this paper we prove that a polynomial invertible in radicals…
Let K be a field and let S = K[x_1, ..., x_n] be a polynomial ring. Consider a homogenous ideal I in S. Let t_i denote reg(Tor_i (S/I, K)), the maximal degree of an ith syzygy of S/I. We prove bounds on the numbers t_i for i > n/2 purely in…
We improve the large sieve inequality with $k$th-power moduli, for all $k\ge 4$. Our method relates these inequalities to a restricted variant of Waring's problem. Firstly, we input a classical divisor bound on the number of representations…
The aim of this paper is to give two new algorithms, which are elimination free, to find polynomial and rational solutions for a given holonomic system associated to a set of linear differential operators in the Weyl algebra D = k<x_1, ...,…
We study when Taylor resolutions of monomial ideals are minimal. We consider monomial ideals with linear quotients. In particular, we determine precisely the stable ideals and the monomial ideals with linear resolutions having the miminal…
We prove that a general polynomial vector $(f_1, f_2, f_3)$ in three homogeneous variables of degrees $(3,3,4)$ has a unique Waring decomposition of rank 7. This is the first new case we are aware, and likely the last one, after five…
We study three variations of the Waring problem for polynomials, concerning the Waring rank, the border rank and the cactus rank of a form and we show how the Lefschetz properties of the associated algebra affect them. The main tool is the…
It is known that for a monomial ideal $I$, the number of minimal generators, $\mu(I^n)$, eventually follows a polynomial pattern for increasing $n$. In general, little is known about the power at which this pattern emerges. Even less is…
