Let $R$ be an associative ring with identity. A unital right $R$-module $M$ is called strongly finite dimensional if Sup$\{{\rm G.dim} (M/N) | N\leq M\} < +\infty$. Properties of strongly finite dimensional modules are explored. It is also…

Let $P(x)$ be a polynomial of degree $m$, with nonnegative and non-decreasing coefficients. We settle the conjecture that for any positive real number $d$, the coefficients of $P(x+d)$ form a unimodal sequence, of which the special case $d$…

Let $D$ denote the set of directions determined by the graph of a polynomial $f$ of $\mathbb{F}_q[x]$, where $q$ is a power of the prime $p$. If $D$ is contained in a multiplicative subgroup $M$ of $\mathbb{F}_q^\times$, then by a result of…

Let $b,c$ be positive integers, $x_1,x_2$ be indeterminates over $\Z$ and $x_m, m \in \mathbb Z$ be rational functions defined by $x_{m-1}x_{m+1}=x_m^b+1$ if $m$ is odd and $x_{m-1}x_{m+1}=x_m^c+1$ if $m$ is even. In this short note, we…

We give an example of a function $f$ non-vanishing in the closed bidisk and the affine polynomial minimizing the norm of $1-pf$ in the Hardy space of the bidisk among all affine polynomials $p$. We show that this polynomial vanishes inside…

We prove a conjecture of Kontsevich, which asserts that the iterations of the noncommutative rational map $F_r:(x,y)-->(xyx^{-1},(1+y^r)x^{-1})$ are given by noncommutative Laurent polynomials with nonnegative integer coefficients.

For some positive integer $m$, a real polynomial $P(x)=\sum\limits_{k=0}^ma_kx^k$ with $a_k\geqslant 0$ is called log-concave (resp. ultra log-concave) if $a_k^2\geqslant a_{k-1}a_{k+1}$ (resp. $a_k^2\geqslant…

We present a generalization of the Jacobian Conjecture for m polynomials in n variables: f1,...,fm belonging to k[x1,...,xn], where k is a field of characteristic zero and m=1,...,n. We express the generalized Jacobian condition in terms of…

We show that for a random polynomial \[ F(X) = \sum_{n=1}^{N} f(n) X^{n-1}, \] where $f(n)$ is a random completely multiplicative function taking values in $\{\pm 1\}$, one has \[ \limsup_{N \to \infty} \mathbb{P}\big[F(X) \text{ is…

We consider the following conjecture (from Huang, et al): Let $\Delta^+$ denote the upper half disc in $\mathbb{C}$ and let $\gamma = ( - 1, 1)$ (viewed as an interval in the real axis in $\mathbb{C}$). Assume that $F$ is a holomorphic…

Let $S$ be a dense subring of the real numbers. In this paper we prove a polynomial version of Van der Waerden's theorem near zero. In fact, we prove that if $p_1,\ldots,p_m \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ are polynomials such that $p_i(0) = 0$ and…

The van der Waerden's Conjecture states that the set $\mathscr{P}_{n,N}^0(\mathbb{Q})$ of monic integer polynomials $f(X)$ of degree $n$, with height $\le N$ such that the Galois group $G_{K_f/\mathbb{Q}}$ of the splitting field…

Let $c(x)$ be a monic integer polynomial with coefficients $0$ or $1$. Write $c(x) = a(x) b(x)$ where $a(x)$ and $b(x)$ are monic polynomials with non-negative real (not necessarily integer) coefficients. The unfair 0--1 polynomial…

The coefficient categories of six functor formalisms are often locally rigid, and when this is the case, the exceptional pushforward and pullback adjunctions may be defined formally. In this short note it is shown that for f a proper map…

Jacobian conjecture states that if $F:\ \mathbb C^n(\mathbb R^n)\rightarrow \mathbb C^n(\mathbb R^n)$ is a polynomial map such that the Jacobian of $F$ is a nonzero constant, then $F$ is injective. This conjecture is still open for all…

We prove that a map germ $f:(\mathbb{C}^n,S)\to(\mathbb{C}^{n+1},0)$ with isolated instability is stable if and only if $\mu_I(f)=0$, where $\mu_I(f)$ is the image Milnor number defined by Mond. In a previous paper we proved this result…

A linear locally nilpotent derivation of the polynomial algebra $K[X_m]$ in $m$ variables over a field $K$ of characteristic 0 is called a Weitzenb\"ock derivation. It is well known from the classical theorem of Weitzenb\"ock that the…

An old and well-known conjecture of Frankl and F\"{u}redi states that the Lagrangian of an $r$-uniform hypergraph with $m$ edges is maximised by an initial segment of colex. In this paper we disprove this conjecture by finding an infinite…

It has been proved several times in the literature that a polynomial map from $C^2$ to $C$ with irreducible rational fibers cannot be a component of a counterexample to the Jacobian Conjecture. This note points out that this result is…

A theorem of R\"odl states that for every fixed $F$ and $\varepsilon>0$ there is $\delta=\delta_F(\varepsilon)$ so that every induced $F$-free graph contains a vertex set of size $\delta n$ whose edge density is either at most $\varepsilon$…
