We reconsider the conjecture by Gepner that the fusion ring of a rational conformal field theory is isomorphic to a ring of polynomials in $n$ variables quotiented by an ideal of constraints that derive from a potential. We show that in a…

We give a short direct proof of Agler's factorization theorem that uses the abstract characterization of operator algebras. the key ingredient of this proof is an operator algebra factorization theorem. Our proof provides some additional…

Let $S$ be a rational fraction and let $f$ be a polynomial over a finite field. Consider the transform $T(f)=\operatorname{numerator}(f(S))$. In certain cases, the polynomials $f$, $T(f)$, $T(T(f))\dots$ are all irreducible. For instance,…

After the language of module and theirs morphisms, this short course presents matricial calculus and determinants in a commutative ring as appliction of ``remarquable identities'' in the ring of polynomials with integer coefficients with…

In an earlier paper we showed that we can improve results by Emmy Noether and Alexander Ostrowski concerning the reducibility modulo p of absolutely irreducible polynomials with integer coefficients by giving the problem a geometric turn…

We consider the question of certifying that a polynomial in ${\mathbb Z}[x]$ or ${\mathbb Q}[x]$ is irreducible. Knowing that a polynomial is irreducible lets us recognise that a quotient ring is actually a field extension (equiv.~that a…

We prove that arithmetic is interpretable in any indecomposable polynomial ring (in any set of variables), and in addition we provide an alternative uniform proof of undecidability for all members in this class of rings.

We recall the fundamental theorem of J.F. Ritt, with a stress on the action of the affine group and canonical forms of complex polynomials. Then we give a complete presentation of the monoid $(\mathbb{C}\mbox{[X]},\circ)$. A list of…

We tabulate polynomials in Z[t] with a given factorization partition, bad reduction entirely within a given set of primes, and satisfying auxiliary conditions associated to 0, 1, and infinity. We explain how these sets of polynomials are of…

We discuss existence of factorizations with linear factors for (left) polynomials over certain associative real involutive algebras, most notably over Clifford algebras. Because of their relevance to kinematics and mechanism science, we put…

In this paper we propose a general spectral theory for tensors. Our proposed factorization decomposes a tensor into a product of orthogonal and scaling tensors. At the same time, our factorization yields an expansion of a tensor as a…

A key property of an algebraic variety is whether it is absolutely irreducible, meaning that it remains irreducible over the algebraic closure of its defining field, and determining absolute irreducibility is important in algebraic geometry…

Let R be a ring of polynomials in a finite number of variables over a perfect field k of characteristic p>0 and let F:R\to R be the Frobenius map of R, i.e. F(r)=r^p. We explicitly describe an R-module isomorphism Hom_R(F_*(M),N)\cong…

Arthur Cohn's irreducibility criterion for polynomials with integer coefficients and its generalization connect primes to irreducibles, and integral bases to the variable $x$. As we follow this link, we find that these polynomials are ready…

We discuss a consequence of Green and Tao's factorisation theorem for polynomial orbits on nilmanifolds, adjusted to the requirements of certain arithmetic applications. More precisely, we prove a generalisation of Theorem 16.4, Acta Arith.…

Let f(t,X) be an irreducible polynomial over the field of rational functions k(t), where k is a number field. Let O be the ring of integers of k. Hilbert's irreducibility theorem gives infinitely many integral specializations of t to values…

Let $k$ be a perfect field of characteristic $p > 0$, and let $K = k((u))$ be the field of Laurent series over $K$. We study the skew polynomial ring $K[T, \Phi]$, where $\Phi$ is an endomorphism of $K$ that extends a Frobenius endomorphism…

A generalization of the factorization technique is shown to be a powerful algebraic tool to discover further properties of a class of integrable systems in Quantum Mechanics. The method is applied in the study of radial oscillator, Morse…

We study the polynomials $x^n + (1-x)^n + a^n, a \in\mathbb{Q}$, whose rational roots would yield counterexamples to Fermat's Last Theorem. We investigate their factorization over $\mathbb{Q}$. In the case $a \notin \{0, \pm 1\}$, we ask…

We prove a negative solution to the analogue of Hilbert's tenth problem for rings of one variable non-Archimedean entire functions in any characteristic. In the positive characteristic case we prove more: the ring of rational integers is…
