Vanishing polynomials are polynomials over a ring which output $0$ for all elements in the ring. In this paper, we study the ideal of vanishing polynomials over specific types of rings, along with the closely related ring of polynomial…
Simple formulas for the number of different cyclic and dihedral necklaces containing $n_j$ beads of the $j$-th color, $j\leq m$ and $\sum_{j=1}^mn_j=N$, are derived.
To any saturated chain in the affine Weyl group whose translation parts are sufficiently regular, we associate a near path and a far path in the quantum Bruhat graph. Using this, working in the Bruhat order on the minimal-length…
For a polynomial $u(x)$ in $\mathbb{Z}[x]$ and $r\in\mathbb{Z}$, we consider the orbit of $u(x)$ at $r$, $\mathcal{O}_u(r):=\{u(r),u(u(r)),\ldots\}$. We ask two questions here: (i) what are the polynomials $u$ for which $0\in…
A vast class of exponential functions are shown to be deterministic. This class includes functions whose exponents are polynomial-like or "piece-wise" close to polynomials after differentiation. Many of these functions are proved to be…
In this paper we introduce the polynomials $\{d_n^{(r)}(x)\}$ and $\{D_n^{(r)}(x)\}$ given by $d_n^{(r)}(x)=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom{x+r+k}k\binom{x-r}{n-k} \ (n\ge 0)$, $D_0^{(r)}(x)=1,\ D_1^{(r)}(x)=x$ and…
Let $G_n$ denote the $n^{\rm th}$ Gleason polynomial, whose roots correspond to parameters $c$ such that the critical point $0$ is periodic of exact period $n$ under iteration of $z^2 + c$, and let $\bar{G}_n$ denote the reduction of $G_n$…
Given a field $K$ and $n > 1$, we say that a polynomial $f \in K[x]$ has newly reducible $n$th iterate over $K$ if $f^{n-1}$ is irreducible over $K$, but $f^n$ is not (here $f^i$ denotes the $i$th iterate of $f$). We pose the problem of…
We describe the twisted $K$-polynomial of multiplicity-free varieties in a multiprojective setting. More precisely, for multiplicity-free varieties, we show that the support of the twisted $K$-polynomial is a generalized polymatroid. As…
Let S be a polynomial ring in n variables over a field, and let M be a monomial ideal of S. We introduce a new invariant, called the order of dominance of S/M, denoted odom(S/M), which has many similarities with the codimension of S/M. We…
Arithmetical congruence monoids, which arise in non-unique factorization theory, are multiplicative monoids $M_{a,b}$ consisting of all positive integers $n$ satsfying $n \equiv a \bmod b$. In this paper, we examine the asymptotic behavior…
We present some tools for providing situations where the generalised Rota formula of arXiv:1801.07504 applies. As an example of this, we compute the M\"obius function of the incidence algebra of any directed restriction species, free…
The purpose of this paper is to give some explicit formulas involving M\"obius functions, which may be known under the generalized Riemann Hypothesis, but unconditional in this paper. Concretely, we prove explicit formulas of partial sums…
We consider three types of rings of supersymmetric polynomials: polynomial ones $\Lambda_{m,n}$, partially polynomial $\Lambda_{m,n}^{+y}$ and Laurent supersymmetric rings $\Lambda_{m,n}^{\pm}$. For each type of rings we give their…
Inspired by the work of Bourgain and Garaev (2013), we provide new bounds for certain weighted bilinear Kloosterman sums in polynomial rings over a finite field. As an application, we build upon and extend some results of Sawin and…
Let $\omega_0,\dots,\omega_M$ be complex numbers. If $H_0,\dots,H_M$ are polynomials of degree at most $\rho_0,\dots,\rho_M$, and $G(z)=\sum_{m=0} ^M H_m(z) (1-z)^{\omega_m}$ has a zero at $z=0$ of maximal order (for the given…
In this paper we consider monic polynomials such that their coefficients coincide with their zeros. These polynomials were first introduced by S. Ulam. We combine methods of algebraic geometry and dynamical systems to prove several results.…
Ouroboros functions have shown some interesting properties when subjected to conventional operations. The aim of this paper is to continue our investigation and prove some additional properties of these functions. Using algebraic methods,…
We represent the number of mxn non-negative integer matrices (contingency tables) with prescribed row sums and column sums as the expected value of the permanent of a non-negative random matrix with exponentially distributed entries. We…
This paper is motivated by determining the location of modes of some unimodal Eulerian-type polynomials. The notion of ratio monotonicity was introduced by Chen-Xia when they investigated the $q$-derangement numbers. Let…
