We classify the automorphism groups of del Pezzo surfaces of degrees one and two over an algebraically closed field of characteristic two. This finishes the classification of automorphism groups of del Pezzo surfaces in all characteristics.

In this paper we present an iterative construction of irreducible polynomials over finite fields based upon repeated applications of transforms induced by endomorphisms of odd prime degree of ordinary elliptic curves.

We study so called weakly-periodic twisted-multiplicative automorphisms of the free skew-field. In particular, we show that any automorphism of a free skew-field that is defined by a periodic automorphism of a free group is equivalent to a…

We give a simpler proof as well as a generalization of the main result of an article of Shestakov and Umirbaev. This latter article being the first of two that solve a long-standing conjecture about the non-tameness, or "wildness", of…

The volume of a cyclic polytope can be obtained by forming an iterated integral along a suitable piecewise linear path running through its edges. Different choices of such a path are related by the action of a subgroup of the combinatorial…

Let $A$ and $B$ be finite-dimensional simple algebras with arbitrary signature over an algebraically closed field. Suppose $A$ and $B$ are graded by a semigroup $S$ so that the graded identitical relations of $A$ are the same as those of…

In this paper, we study partial automorphisms and, more generally, injective partial endomorphisms of a finite undirected path from Semigroup Theory perspective. Our main objective is to give formulas for the ranks of the monoids…

Polypols are natural generalizations of polytopes, with boundaries given by nonlinear algebraic hypersurfaces. We describe polypols in the plane and in 3-space that admit a unique adjoint hypersurface and study them from an…

An interesting class of automatic sequences emerges from iterated paperfolding. The sequences generate curves in the plane with an almost periodic structure. We generalize the results obtained by Davis and Knuth on the self-avoiding and…

Let $(X, \mathcal{F})$ be a foliated surface and $G$ a finite group of automorphisms of $X$ that preserves $\mathcal{F}$. We investigate invariant loci for $G$ and obtain upper bounds for its order that depends polynomially on the Chern…

We characterize the signature of piecewise continuously differentiable paths transformed by a polynomial map in terms of the signature of the original path. For this aim, we define recursively an algebra homomorphism between two shuffle…

We study z-automorphisms of the polynomial algebra K[x,y,z] and the free associative algebra K<x,y,z> over a field K, i.e., automorphisms which fix the variable z. We survey some recent results on such automorphisms and on the corresponding…

We prove a sharp degree bound for polynomials constant on a hyperplane with a fixed number of distinct monomials for dimensions 2 and 3. We study the connection with monomial CR maps of hyperquadrics and prove similar bounds in this setup…

We consider the set of all 2-step recurrences (difference equations) that are given by linear fractional maps. These give birational maps of the plane. We determine the degree growth of these birational maps. We find the all the maps in…

We characterize the space of the so-called planar mixed automorphic forms of type $(\nu,\mu)$ with respect to an equivariant pair $(\rho,\tau)$ as the image, by an appropriate transform, of the usual (Landau) automorphic forms involving…

The split quartic Cayley algebra is a structurable algebra which has been used to give constructions of Lie algebras of type D4. Here, we calculate its group of automorphisms, its algebra of derivations and its gradings.

We study an infinite class of sequences of sparse polynomials that have binomial coefficients both as exponents and as coefficients. This generalizes a sequence of sparse polynomials which arises in a natural way as graph theoretic…

The usual methods for root finding of polynomials are based on the iteration of a numerical formula for improvement of successive estimations. The unpredictable nature of the iterations prevents to search roots inside a pre-specified region…

We define a generalization of Chacon's classical automorphism and answer the question of whether its important properties remain. We calculate the family of polynimials representing the automorphism, given in recurrence formulae, and infer…
