Let $\mathbf{v}_i$ be vectors in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and $\{\varepsilon_i\}$ be independent Rademacher random variables. Then the Littlewood-Offord problem entails finding the best upper bound for $\sup_{\mathbf{x} \in \mathbb{R}^d}…

Let $\gamma_0=\frac{\sqrt5-1}{2}=0.618\ldots$ . We prove that, for any $\varepsilon>0$ and any trigonometric polynomial $f$ with frequencies in the set $\{n^2: N \leqslant n\leqslant N+N^{\gamma_0-\varepsilon}\}$, the inequality $$ \|f\|_4…

A conjecture of Bombieri states that the coefficients of a normalized univalent function $f$ should satisfy $$ \liminf_{f\to K} \frac{n-{\rm Re\,}a_n}{m-{\rm Re\,}a_m} = \min_{t\in{\mathbb R}} \, \frac{n\sin t -\sin(nt)}{m\sin t -\sin(mt)},…

For $ f\in\mathbb{Z}[X] $ an irreducible polynomial of degree $ n $, the Cilleruelo's conjecture states that$$\log(\mbox{lcm}(f(1),\dots,f(M)))\sim(n-1)M\log M$$as $ M\rightarrow+\infty $, where $ \mbox{lcm}(f(1),\dots,f(M)) $ is the least…

A well-known problem in the theory of polynomials over finite fields is the characterization of minimal value set polynomials (MVSPs) over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, where $q = p^n$. These are the nonconstant polynomials $F \in…

What is the maximum possible value of the lead coefficient of a degree $d$ polynomial $Q(x)$ if $|Q(1)|,|Q(2)|,\ldots,|Q(k)|$ are all less than or equal to one? More generally we write $L_{d,[x_k]}(x)$ for what we prove to be the unique…

The paper concerns the uniform polynomial approximation of a function $f$, continuous on the unit Euclidean sphere of ${\mathbb R}^3$ and known only at a finite number of points that are somehow uniformly distributed on the sphere. First we…

The number of square-free integers in $x$ consecutive values of any polynomial $f$ is conjectured to be $c_fx$, where the constant $c_f$ depends only on the polynomial $f$. This has been proven for degrees less or equal to 3. Granville was…

In this paper, equivalence constants between various polynomial norms are calculated. As an application, we also obtain sharp values of the Hardy--Littlewood constants for $2$-homogeneous polynomials on $\ell_p^2$ spaces, $2<p\leq\infty$…

For a polynomial $P_n$ of degree $n$, Bernstein's inequality states that $\|P_n'\| \le n \|P_n\|$ for all $L^p$ norms on the unit circle, $0<p\le\infty,$ with equality for $P_n(z)= c z^n.$ We study this inequality for random polynomials,…

This work provides explicit characterizations and formulae for the minimal polynomials of a wide variety of structured $4\times 4$ matrices. These include symmetric, Hamiltonian and orthogonal matrices. Applications such as the complete…

Let $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ be a finite field of characteristic $p$, and let $f \in \mathbb{F}_{q}[x]$ be a polynomial of degree $d > 0$. Denote the image set of this polynomial as $V_{f}=\{f(\alpha)\mid\alpha\in\mathbb{F}_{q}\}$ and denote the…

Cromwell proved that the minimum $v$-degree of the HOMFLY polynomial of homogeneous link $L$ is bounded above by $1-\chi(L)$, where $\chi(L)$ is the maximum Euler characteristic of Seifert surfaces of $L$. We prove its slice version,…

We show that there is an absolute constant $c > 1/2$ such that the Mahler measure of the Fekete polynomials $f_p$ of the form $$f_p(z) := \sum_{k=1}^{p-1}{\left( \frac kp \right)z^k}\,,$$ (where the coefficients are the usual Legendre…

We make progress on a conjecture of Cilleruelo on the growth of the least common multiple of consecutive values of an irreducible polynomial $f$ on the additional hypothesis that the polynomial be even. This strengthens earlier work of…

A long-standing conjecture of Littlewood about simultaneous Diophantine approximation has an analogous problem for a field of formal Laurent series $\mathbb{F}(\!(t^{-1})\!)$. That is, we can ask whether for any series $\Theta$, $\Phi$ and…

We prove that every bounded function $f:\{-1,1\}^n\to[-1,1]$ of degree at most $d$ can be learned with $L_2$-accuracy $\varepsilon$ and confidence $1-\delta$ from $\log(\tfrac{n}{\delta})\,\varepsilon^{-d-1} C^{d^{3/2}\sqrt{\log d}}$ random…

We introduce a continuous analog of the Fourier ratio for compactly supported Borel measures. For a measure \(\mu\) on \(\mathbb{R}^d\) and \(f\in L^2(\mu)\), the Fourier ratio compares \(L^1\) and \(L^2\) norms of a regularized Fourier…

The first part of this paper is devoted to the study of the orthogonal polynomial on the circle, with respect of a weight of type $f_\alpha (\theta) = (2\cos \theta- 2\cos \theta_0)^{2\alpha} c_1$ with $\theta_0 \in ]0,\pi[$, -1/2…

Let $f(x_1,...,x_k)$ be a polynomial over a field $K$. This paper considers such questions as the enumeration of the number of nonzero coefficients of $f$ or of the number of coefficients equal to $\alpha\in K^*$. For instance, if $K=\ff_q$…
