In this paper we give a different proof of Kuz'min's result on the number of irreducible polynomials with the first two coefficients fixed. Our technique is to relate the question to the number of points on a curve, and to calculate the…
In this paper we introduce and investigate a one-parameter family of polynomials. They are semisymmetric, i.e. symmetric in the variables with odd and even index separately. In fact, the family forms a basis of the space of semisymmetric…
If K/k is a function field in one variable of positive characteristic, we describe a general algorithm to factor one-variable polynomials with coefficients in K. The algorithm is flexible enough to find factors subject to additional…
We prove that certain classical groups $G\subseteq {\rm GL}(d,\mathbb{R}^d)$ serve to characterize ordinary polynomials in $d$ real variables as elements of finite-dimensional subspaces of $C(\mathbb{R}^d)$ that are invariant by changes of…
This paper proposes seven combinatorial problems around formulas for the characteristic polynomial and the spectral numbers of a quasihomogeneous singularity. One of them is a new conjecture on the characteristic polynomial. It is an…
We observe that the nonstandard finite cardinality of a definable set in a strongly minimal pseudofinite structure D is a polynomial over the integers in the nonstandard finite cardinality of D. We conclude that D is unimodular, hence also…
We develop a family of finite element spaces of differential forms defined on cubical meshes in any number of dimensions. The family contains elements of all polynomial degrees and all form degrees. In two dimensions, these include the…
In representation theory of finite groups an important role is played by irreducible characters of p-defect 0, for a prime p dividing the group order. These are exactly those vanishing at the p-singular elements. In this paper we generalize…
A positive integer k is a length of a polynomial if that polynomial factors into a product of k irreducible polynomials. We find the set of lengths of polynomials of the form x^n in R[x], where (R, m) is an Artinian local ring with m^2 = 0.
We consider the logarithm of the characteristic polynomial of random permutation matrices, evaluated on a finite set of different points. The permutations are chosen with respect to the Ewens distribution on the symmetric group. We show…
We describe the T-space of central polynomials for both the unitary and the nonunitary finite dimensional Grassmann algebra over a field of characteristic p not equal to 2 (infinite field in the case of the unitary algebra).
The character of an irreducible admissible representation of a $p$-adic reductive group is known to be a constant function in some neighborhood of any regular semisimple element $\gamma$ in the group. Under certain mild restrictions on…
We give extensive characterizations for an open subset of an affine space of arbitrary dimension, resp. of an inverse limit of prime spectra to be quasi-compact. Among other things weak stability, retro-compactness, and cylinder sets…
We estimate mixed character sums of polynomial values over elements of a finite field $\mathbb F_{q^r}$ with sparse representations in a fixed ordered basis over the subfield $\mathbb F_q$. First we use a combination of the…
This paper proves that the characteristic polynomial is a complete unitary invariant for pairs of projection matrices. Some special cases involving three or more projections are also considered.
We determine the irreducible constituents of the Steinberg character of an orthogonal group over a finite field restricted to the orthogonal group of one less dimension
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field with $q$ elements. M. Gerstenhaber and Irving Reiner has given two different methods to show the number of matrices with a given characteristic polynomial. In this talk, we will give another proof for…
Partially ordered sets (posets) play a universal role as an abstract structure in many areas of mathematics. For finite posets, an explicit enumeration of distinct partial orders on a set of unlabelled elements is known only up to a…
Characterizations of paracompact finite $C$-spaces via continuous selections are given. We apply these results to obtain some properties of finite $C$-spaces. Factorization theorems and a completion theorem for finite $C$- spaces are also…
