Let $f$ and $g$ be two monic polynomials with integer coefficients and nonzero resultant $r$. Assume that $v_p(f(n))\ge s_1$ and $v_p(g(n))\ge s_2$ hold for all integers $n$ for some $s_1, s_2$ fixed non-negative integers. Let $S$ denote…

Let f(x) be a polynomial with integer coefficients, let n be a positive integer, and let p be an odd prime. Then the mapping x-->f(x) sends Z/p^n into Z/p^n. We study the topological structure of this mapping.

The aim of this paper is to prove conjectures concerning $p$-adic valuations of Stirling numbers of the second kind $S(n,k)$, $n,k\in\mathbb{N}_+$, stated by Amdeberhan, Manna and Moll and Berrizbeitia et al., where $p$ is a prime number.…

The main result of this paper is a new version of Newton-Hensel lifting that relates to interpolation questions. It allows one to lift polynomials in $Z[x]$ from information modulo a prime number $p\ne 2$ to a power $p^k$ for any $k$, and…

Let $p$ be a prime, let $d \geq 1$ be an integer and $A$ be the algebra of square matrices of size $d$ over the field of order $p$. Let $P, Q \in A[x_1, \dots x_n]$ be polynomials in $n$ indeterminates with coefficients in $A$, such that…

Fix a prime number $d$. The post-critically finite polynomials of the form $f_{d,c} = x^d+c\in \mathbb{C}[x]$ play a fundamental role in polynomial dynamics. While many results are known in the complex dynamical setting, much less is…

Let t[n] be a sequence that satisfies a first order homogeneous recurrence t[n] = Q[n]*t[n-1], where Q is a polynomial with integer coefficients. The asymptotic behavior of the p-adic valuation of t[n] is described under the assumption that…

Let $\mathbb F$ be an algebraically closed field, $G$ be an abelian group, and let $A$ and $B$ be arbitrary finite-dimensional $G$-graded simple algebras over $\mathbb F$. We prove that $A$ and $B$ are isomorphic if, and only if, they…

Our objective in this series of two articles, of which the present article is the first, is to give a Perrin-Riou-style construction of $p$-adic $L$-functions (of Bella\"iche and Stevens) over the eigencurve. As the first ingredient, we…

Given a compact p-adic Lie group G over a finite unramified extension L/Q_p let G_0 be the product over all Galois conjugates of G. We construct an exact and faithful functor from admissible G-Banach space representations to admissible…

Let F denote either the real or complex field. An ideal I in the free *-algebra F<x,x*> in g freely noncommuting variables and their formal adjoints is a *-ideal if I = I*. When a real *-ideal has finite codimension, it satisfies a strong…

A profinite group is index-stable if any two isomorphic open subgroups have the same index. Let $p$ be a prime, and let $G$ be a compact $p$-adic analytic group with associated $\mathbb{Q}_p$-Lie algebra $\mathcal{L}(G)$. We prove that $G$…

We characterize the monomial ideals $I\subset K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ with the property that the polarization $I^p$ and $I^{\sigma^n}:=$ the ideal obtained from $I$ by the $n$-th iterated squarefree operator $\sigma$ are isomorphic via a…

Assuming the existence of an analytic interpolant mapping a two-point data from the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ to $\widetilde{\mathbb{G}}_n$, we describe a class of such interpolating functions where $$\widetilde{\mathbb{G}}_n := \{ (y_1,\dots,…

For a polynomial $f(t) = 1+f_0t+\cdots +f_{d-1}t^d$ with positive integer coefficients Bell and Skandera ask if real rootedness of f(t) implies that there is a simplicial complex with f-vector $(1,f_0 \ldots,f_{d-1})$. In this paper we…

The techniques for polynomial interpolation and Gaussian quadrature are generalized to matrix-valued functions. It is shown how the zeros and rootvectors of matrix orthonormal polynomials can be used to get a quadrature formula with the…

We give a solvability criterion for a special case of the $\mu$-synthesis problem. That is, we prove the necessity and sufficiency of a condition for the existence of an analytic $2 \times 2$ matrix-valued function on the disc subject to a…

Let $f$ be a polynomial with integer coefficients such that $f(n)$ positive for any positive integer $n$. We consider diverging sequences $\{ y_n\}$ given by $y_0 = b$ and $y_{n+1} = f^{y_n}(a)$ with positive integers $a$ and $b$. We show…

Following Sun and Moll, we study v_p(T(N)), the p-adic valuation of the counting function of the alternating sign matrices. We find an exact analytic expression for it that exhibits the fluctuating behaviour, by means of Fourier…
