Let $f(X_1,\dots, X_n)$ be a nonzero multilinear noncommutative polynomial. If $A$ is a unital algebra with a surjective inner derivation, then every element in $A$ can be written as $f(a_1,\dots,a_n)$ for some $a_i\in A$.

The study of images of noncommutative polynomials on algebras has attracted considerable attention. We investigate polynomial images and the additive structures they generate in associative algebras, focusing on sums and products of values.…

If K/k is a function field in one variable of positive characteristic, we describe a general algorithm to factor one-variable polynomials with coefficients in K. The algorithm is flexible enough to find factors subject to additional…

The first author introduced a sequence of polynomials (\cite{8}, sequence A174531) defined recursively. One of the main results of this study is proof of the integrality of its coefficients.

We give a negative answer to Problem 19 of Cahen, Fontana, Frisch, and Glaz concerning the flatness and freeness of rings of integer-valued polynomials. We construct an explicit one-dimensional Noetherian local domain D over the field with…

A polynomial with coefficients in the ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_{K}$ of a global field $K$ is called intersective if it has a root modulo every finite-indexed subgroup of $\mathcal{O}_{K}$. We prove two criteria for a polynomial…

We consider polynomials with integer coefficients and discuss their factorization properties in Z[[x]], the ring of formal power series over Z. We treat polynomials of arbitrary degree and give sufficient conditions for their reducibility…

In this article, we prove some factorization results for several classes of polynomials having integer coefficients, which in particular yield several classes of irreducible polynomials. Such classes of polynomials are devised by imposing…

We associate to every matroid M a polynomial with integer coefficients, which we call the Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial of M, in analogy with Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials in representation theory. We conjecture that the coefficients are always…

If $R$ is the ring of integers of a number field, then there exists a polynomial parametrization of the set $\text{SL}_2(R)$, i.e., an element $A \in \text{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z}[x_1,\ldots,x_n])$ such that every element of $\text{SL}_2(R)$ is…

Let k be a perfect field and A a finite dimensional k-algebra of finite global dimension (e.g. the path algebra of a finite quiver without oriented cycles). Making use of the recent theory of noncommutative motives, we prove that the value…

The Poupard polynomials are polynomials in one variable with integer coefficients, with some close relationship to Bernoulli and tangent numbers. They also have a combinatorial interpretation. We prove that every Poupard polynomial has all…

We establish formulas for computation of the higher algebraic $K$-groups of the endomorphism rings of objects linked by a morphism in an additive category. Let ${\mathcal C}$ be an additive category, and let $Y\ra X$ be a covariant morphism…

Let K be a field and let A be the polynomial ring in n variables with coefficients in the field K We study the universal squarefree lexsegment ideals in A. We put our attention on their combinatorics computing some invariants. Moreover we…

A celebrated theorem of Shoda states that over any field K (of characteristic 0), every matrix with trace 0 can be expressed as a commutator AB-BA, or, equivalently, that the set of values of the polynomial f(x,y)=xy-yx on the nxn-matrix…

Given an integral domain $D$ with quotient field $\mathcal{Q}(D)$, the reciprocal complement of $D$ is the subring $R(D)$ of $\mathcal{Q}(D)$ whose elements are all the sums $\frac{1}{d_1}+\ldots+\frac{1}{d_n} $ for $d_1, \ldots, d_n$…

Let $A$ and $B$ be commutative rings with identity. An {\it $A$-$B$-biring} is an $A$-algebra $S$ together with a lift of the functor $Hom_A(S,-)$ from $A$-algebras to sets to a functor from $A$-algebras to $B$-algebras. An {\it…
