We establish new results on root separation of integer, irreducible polynomials of degree at least four. These improve earlier bounds of Bugeaud and Mignotte (for even degree) and of Beresnevich, Bernik, and Goetze (for odd degree).

We proved recently (see \cite{lhgarasu}) the result on the title for odd prime divisors of such an $n.$ The result implies for many $n's$, more precisely, for an infinity of $n$'s with an arbitrary fixed number of prime divisors, the…

Classes of polynomial differential equations of degree n are considered. An explicit upper bound on the size of the coefficients are given which implies that each equation in the class has exactly n complex periodic solutions. In most of…

We prove that on $\mathbb{P}^{3}$ there is no exceptional bundle with rank $r=2d^{2}+1$ and degree $d$ for every $|d|\geq 4$. In particular, we find a new obstruction for the existence of exceptional bundles other than $r|(2d^{2}+1)$. We…

The computer calculations in arXiv:0808.0284 to classify sharp polynomials with nonegative coefficients constant on the line $x+y=1$ have been extended to degrees 19 and 21. In degree 19 a surprisingly large number of 13 sharp polynomials…

Let $S \subset R$ be an arbitrary subset of a unique factorization domain $R$ and $\K$ be the field of fractions of $R$. The ring of integer-valued polynomials over $S$ is the set $\mathrm{Int}(S,R)= \{ f \in \mathbb{K}[x]: f(a) \in R\…

Continued fractions whose elements are polynomial sequences have been carefully studied mostly in the cases where the degree of the numerator polynomial is less than or equal to two and the degree of the denominator polynomial is less than…

We prove that there exist Salem numbers with trace $-3$ and every even degree $\geq 34$. Our proof combines a theoretical approach, which allows us to treat all sufficiently large degrees, with a numerical search for small degrees. Since it…

We give a complete classification of all Salem polynomials of length 5. For length 6 we show that all but finitely many Salem polynomials lie in one of 12 infinite families, and subject to Lehmer's Conjecture we give a complete list of the…

We give a lower bound for the degree of an irreducible factor of a given polynomial. This improves and generalizes the results obtained in [4, On the irreducible factors of a polynomial, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc., 148 (2020] 1429 -- 1437].

We present a more general proof that cyclotomic polynomials are irreducible over Q and other number fields that meet certain conditions. The proof provides a new perspective that ties together well-known results, as well as some new…

We construct new examples of exceptional Hahn and Jacobi polynomials. Exceptional polynomials are orthogonal polynomials with respect to a measure which are also eigenfunctions of a second order difference or differential operator. The most…

We discuss several enumerative results for irreducible polynomials of a given degree and pairs of relatively prime polynomials of given degrees in several variables over finite fields. Two notions of degree, the {\em total degree} and the…

We obtain explicit upper bounds for the number of irreducible factors for a class of compositions of polynomials in several variables over a given field. In particular, some irreducibility criteria are given for this class of compositions…

In this paper we consider the even monic degree-8 cuboid polynomial $P_{a,u}(t)$ with coprime integers $a\neq u>0$. We prove irreducibility over $\mathbb{Z}$ by excluding all degree-8 splittings. First, any putative $4{+}4$ factorization is…

We produce a new family of polynomials f(x) over fields K of characteristic 2 which are exceptional, in the sense that f(x)-f(y) has no absolutely irreducible factors in K[x,y] besides the scalar multiples of x-y; when K is finite, this…

Let $K$ be a number field and $f_1,\ldots,f_s\in K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ forms of odd degrees. In 1957, Birch proved that if $n$ is sufficiently large then the forms always have a nontrivial zero in $K^n$. Apart from some small degrees, the…

This note concerns the non-existence of three consecutive powerful numbers. We use Pell equations, elliptic curves, and second-order recurrences to show that there are no such triplets with the middle term a perfect cube and each of the…

Let $F\in\mathbb{C}[x,y,s,t]$ be an irreducible constant-degree polynomial, and let $A,B,C,D\subset\mathbb{C}$ be finite sets of size $n$. We show that $F$ vanishes on at most $O(n^{8/3})$ points of the Cartesian product $A\times B\times…

Let l>=1 be an arbitrary odd integer and p,q and r primes. We show that there exist infinitely many ternary cyclotomic polynomials \Phi_{pqr}(x) with l^2+3l+5<= p<q<r such that the set of coefficients of each of them consists of the p…
