Schinzel's Hypothesis H is a general conjecture in number theory on prime values of polynomials that generalizes, e.g., the twin prime conjecture and Dirichlet's theorem on primes in arithmetic progression. We prove an arithmetic analog of…

This paper has been withdrawn by the author due to an error in the main proof (thanks to Carlos D'Andrea)

We give a new proof of Carlitz-Wan's conjecture, previously proved by Lenstra (1995).Our proofs are natural and intuitive, and shed new insights into the study of exceptional polynomials.

Let exp(x) be the function determined by the classical power series of the exponentiation. Then E_p(x):=exp(px) is well-defined on Zp, the ring of p-adic integer (for p not equal to 2, we set E_2(x)=exp(4x)). Furthermore, E_p determines a…

We disprove a conjecture of Simon for higher-order Szego theorems for orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle and propose a modified version of the conjecture.

During the Arizona Winter School 2008 (held in Tucson, AZ) we worked on the following problems: a) (Expanding a remark by S. Lang). Define $E_0 = \overline{\mathbb{Q}}$ Inductively, for $n \geq 1$, define $E_n$ as the algebraic closure of…

Let $g(x)$ be a fixed non-constant complex polynomial. It was conjectured by Schinzel that if $g(h(x))$ has boundedly many terms, then $h(x)\in \C[x]$ must also have boundedly many terms. Solving an older conjecture raised by R\'enyi and by…

Recently the problem of constructing a perfect Euler cuboid was related with three conjectures asserting the irreducibility of some certain three polynomials depending on integer parameters. In this paper a partial result toward proving the…

We give positive answer to two conjectures posed by M. E. H Ismail in his monograph [Classical and quantum orthogonal polynomials in one variable, Cambridge University Press, 2005].

We obtain similar types of conclusions as that of Br\"{u}ck [1] for two differential polynomials which in turn radically improve and generalize several existing results. Moreover, a number of examples have been exhibited to justify the…

The Schinzel Hypothesis is a celebrated conjecture in number theory linking polynomial values and prime numbers. In the same vein we investigate the common divisors of values $P_1(n),\ldots, P_s(n)$ of several polynomials. We deduce this…

We present a theorem about irreducibility of a polynomial that is the resultant of two others polynomials. The proof of this fact is based on the field theory. We also consider the converse theorem and some examples.

We study the action of a differential operator on Schubert polynomials. Using this action, we first give a short new proof of an identity of I. Macdonald (1991). We then prove a determinant conjecture of R. Stanley (2017). This conjecture…

Continuing pioneering work of Christophe Doche and Laurent Habsieger from 2004, we develop computer algebra algorithms, implemented in Maple, for finding the (necessarily rational) generating function for any integral of products, and in…

The purpose of this note is to give an affirmative answer to a conjecture appearing in [Integral Transforms Spec. Funct. 26 (2015) 90-95].

We prove an effective version of the Oppenheim conjecture with a polynomial error rate. The proof is based on an effective equidistribution theorem which in turn relies on recent progress towards restricted projection problem.

In an earlier work [K. Castillo et al., J. Math. Anal. Appl., 514 (2022) 126358], we give positive answer to the first, and apparently more easy, part of a conjecture of M. Ismail concerning the characterization of the continuous $q$-Jacobi…

This paper contains the proof of difference counterparts of the conjectures due to Keven Kadell on symmetric and anti-symmetric Macdonald polynomials.

Motivated by a recent conjecture of R. P. Stanley we offer a lower bound for the sum of the coefficients of a Schubert polynomial in terms of $132$-pattern containment.

We prove an irreducibility criterion for polynomials with power series coefficients generalizing previous known results concerning quasi-ordinary polynomials.
