For any two $n$-$th$ order polynomials $a(s)$ and $b(s),$ the Hurwitz stability of their convex combination is necessary and sufficient for the existence of a polynomial $c(s)$ such that $c(s)/a(s)$ and $c(s)/b(s)$ are both strictly…

We establish asymptotic formulae for the number of $k$-free values of polynmilas $F(x_1,\cdots,x_n)\in\mathbb{Z}[x_1,\cdots,x_n]$ of degree $d\geq 2$ for any $n\geq 1$, including when the variables are prime, as long as $k\geq (3d+1)/4$.…

A univariate polynomial f over a field is decomposable if f = g o h = g(h) for nonlinear polynomials g and h. In order to count the decomposables, one wants to know, under a suitable normalization, the number of equal-degree collisions of…

We generalize the polynomial Szemer\'{e}di theorem to intersective polynomials over the ring of integers of an algebraic number field, by which we mean polynomials having a common root modulo every ideal. This leads to the existence of new…

In this paper we show that a polynomial equation admits infinitely many prime-tuple solutions assuming only that the equation satisfies suitable local conditions and the polynomial is sufficiently non-degenerate algebraically. Our notion of…

Let $g(x)$ be a fixed non-constant complex polynomial. It was conjectured by Schinzel that if $g(h(x))$ has boundedly many terms, then $h(x)\in \C[x]$ must also have boundedly many terms. Solving an older conjecture raised by R\'enyi and by…

We establish a version of the Furstenberg-Katznelson multi-dimensional Szemer\'edi in the primes ${\mathcal P} := \{2,3,5,\ldots\}$, which roughly speaking asserts that any dense subset of ${\mathcal P}^d$ contains constellations of any…

We provide some general conditions which ensure that a system of inequalities involving homogeneous polynomials with coefficients in a S-adic field has nontrivial S-integral solutions. The proofs are based on the strong approximation…

In this paper we prove that given two sets $E_1,E_2 \subset \mathbb{Z}$ of positive density, there exists $k \geq 1$ which is bounded by a number depending only on the densities of $E_1$ and $E_2$ such that $k\mathbb{Z} \subset…

We state a kind of Euclidian division theorem: given a polynomial P(x) and a divisor d of the degree of P, there exist polynomials h(x),Q(x),R(x) such that P(x) = h(Q(x)) +R(x), with deg h=d. Under some conditions h,Q,R are unique, and Q is…

We make explicit Bombieri's refinement of Gallagher's log-free "large sieve density estimate near $\sigma = 1$" for Dirichlet $L$-functions. We use this estimate and recent work of Green to prove that if $N\geq 2$ is an integer,…

For any real numbers $b,c\in\mathbb{R}$, we form the sequence of polynomials $\left\{ H_{m}(z)\right\} _{m=0}^{\infty}$ satisfying the four-term recurrence \[ H_{m}(z)+cH_{m-1}(z)+bH_{m-2}(z)+zH_{m-3}(z)=0,\qquad m\ge3, \] with the initial…

For any integer $n \geq 2$, let $(m_{1},\ldots,m_{n})$ be a strictly increasing $n$-tuple of positive integers. We show that any subset $A\subset [N]^n$ of density at least $(\log N)^{-c}$ contains a nontrivial configuration of the form…

We generalize our methodology for computing with Zariski dense subgroups of $\mathrm{SL}(n, \mathbb{Z})$ and $\mathrm{Sp}(n, \mathbb{Z})$, to accommodate input dense subgroups $H$ of $\mathrm{SL}(n, \mathbb{Q})$ and $\mathrm{Sp}(n,…

By the celebrated Weierstrass Theorem the set of algebraic polynomials is dense in the space of continuous functions on a compact set in R^d. In this paper we study the following question: does the density hold if we approximate only by…

Consider random polynomials of the form $G_n = \sum_{i=0}^n \xi_i p_i$, where the $\xi_i$ are i.i.d.\ non-degenerate complex random variables, and $\{p_i\}$ is a sequence of orthonormal polynomials with respect to a regular measure $\tau$…

We show that a dynamical sequence $(f_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ of polynomials over a number field whose set of stable primes is of positive density must necessarily have a very restricted, and in particular ``near-solvable" dynamical Galois…

We study the Ramsey properties of equations $a_1P(x_1) + \cdots + a_sP(x_s) = b$, where $a_1,\ldots,a_s,b$ are integers, and $P$ is an integer polynomial of degree $d$. Provided there are at least $(1+o(1))d^2$ variables, we show that…

Given a polynomial P in several variables over an algebraically closed field, we show that except in some special cases that we fully describe, if one coefficient is allowed to vary, then the polynomial is irreducible for all but at most…

Let $p$ be a prime, let $S$ be a non-empty subset of $\mathbb{F}_p$ and let $0<\epsilon\leq 1$. We show that there exists a constant $C=C(p, \epsilon)$ such that for every positive integer $k$, whenever $\phi_1, \dots, \phi_k:…
