In this article we study the field of rational constants and Darboux polynomials of a generalized cyclotomic $K$-derivation $d$ of $K[X]$. It is shown that $d$ is without Darboux polynomials if and only if $K(X)^d=K$. Result is also studied…

In Costa's paper published in 1977, he asks us whether every retract of $k^{[n]}$ is also the polynomial ring or not, where $k$ is a field. In this paper, we give an affirmative answer in the case where $k$ is a field of characteristic zero…

The first part of the paper will describe a recent result of K. Retert in (\cite{Ret}) for $k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ and $k[[x_1,\ldots,x_n]]$. This result states that if $\mathfrak{D}$ is a set of commute $k$-derivations of $k[x,y]$ such that…

Let $k$ be an arbitrary field of characteristic zero, $k[x, y]$ be the polynomial ring and $D$ a $k$-derivation of the ring $k[x, y]$. Recall that a nonconstant polynomial $F\in k[x, y]$ is said to be a Darboux polynomial of the derivation…

We obtain two equivalent conditions for m polynomials in n variables to form a p-basis of a ring of constants of some polynomial K-derivation, where K is a UFD of characteristic p>0. One of these conditions involves jacobians, and the…

We consider a Weitzenb\"ock derivation $\Delta$ acting on a polynomial ring $R=K[\xi_1,\xi_2,...,\xi_m]$ over a field $K$ of characteristic 0. The $K$-algebra $R^\Delta = \{h \in R \mid \Delta(h) = 0\}$ is called the algebra of constants.…

Let $K[X_d,Y_d]=K[x_1,\ldots,x_d,y_1,\ldots,y_d]$ be the polynomial algebra in $2d$ variables over a field $K$ of characteristic 0 and let $\delta$ be the derivation of $K[X_d,Y_d]$ defined by $\delta(y_i)=x_i$, $\delta(x_i)=0$,…

In this paper we characterise univariate rational functions over a number field $\K$ having infinitely many points in the cyclotomic closure $\K^c$ for which the orbit contains a root of unity. Our results are similar to previous results of…

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero. Let $m$ and $\alpha$ be positive integers. For $n\geq 2$, let $R_n=k[x_1,x_2,\dots,x_n]$ with the $k$-derivation $d_n$ given by…

The Weitzenboeck theorem states that the algebra of constants of a linear locally nilpotent derivation of the polynomial algebra K[Z]=K[z_1,...,z_m] in m variables over a field K of characteristic 0 is finitely generated. If m=2n and the…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic $0$, and let $k \geq 2$ be an integer. We prove that every $K$-linear bijection $f \colon K[X] \to K[X]$ strongly preserving the set of $k$-free polynomials (or the set of polynomials with a $k$-fold…

We study orbits and fixed points of polynomials in a general skew polynomial ring $D[x,\sigma, \delta]$. We extend results of the first author and Vishkautsan on polynomial dynamics in $D[x]$. In particular, we show that if $a \in D$ and $f…

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero, and let $i$ and $n$ be positive integers with $i\geq 2$ and $n>i$. Consider a non-invertible $k$-derivation $d_i$ of the polynomial ring $k[x_1,\ldots,x_i]$. Let $d_n$ be an extension of $d_i$ to a…

In [arXiv:2212.04969], the authors stated some conjectures on the variance of certain sums of the divisor function $d_k(n)$ over number fields, which were inspired by analogous results over function fields proven in [arXiv:2107.01437].…

Let a(n,k) be the kth coefficient of the nth cyclotomic polynomial. The first two authors showed in part I that if m is a prime power and n and k range over the non-negative integers, then a(mn,k) assumes every integer value. Here this…

For a simplicial complex $\Delta$, the graded Betti number $\beta_{i,j}(k[\Delta])$ of the Stanley-Reisner ring $k[\Delta]$ over a field $k$ has a combinatorial interpretation due to Hochster. Terai and Hibi showed that if $\Delta$ is the…

In this paper we investigate to what extent the results of Z. Wang and D. Daigle on nice derivations of the polynomial ring in three variables over a field k of characteristic zero extend to the polynomial ring over a PID R, containing the…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field with an absolute value. This note gives an elementary proof of the classical result that the roots of a polynomial with coefficients in $K$ are continuous functions of the coefficients of the…

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…

A polynomial with rational coefficients is said to be pure with respect to a rational prime $p$ if its Newton polygon has one slope. In this article, we prove that the number of irreducible factors of the $n$-th iterate of a pure polynomial…
