A polynomial transformation of the real plane $\Bbb R^2$ is a mapping $\Bbb R^2\to\Bbb R^2$ given by two polynomials of two variables. Such a transformation is called quadratic if the degrees of its polynomials are not greater than two. In…

We consider point sets in the affine plane $\mathbb{F}_q^2$ where each Euclidean distance of two points is an element of $\mathbb{F}_q$. These sets are called integral point sets and were originally defined in $m$-dimensional Euclidean…

Second-order polynomials generalize classical first-order ones in allowing for additional variables that range over functions rather than values. We are motivated by their applications in higher-order computational complexity theory,…

The characteristic polynomials of abelian varieties over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with $q=p^n$ elements have a lot of arithmetic and geometric information. They have been explicitly described for abelian varieties up to dimension 4,…

Let $\F_q$ be a finite field of order $q$ and $P$ be a polynomial in $\F_q[x_1, x_2]$. For a set $A \subset \F_q$, define $P(A):=\{P(x_1, x_2) | x_i \in A \}$. Using certain constructions of expanders, we characterize all polynomials $P$…

Hyperovals in $\PG(2,\gf(q))$ with even $q$ are maximal arcs and an interesting research topic in finite geometries and combinatorics. Hyperovals in $\PG(2,\gf(q))$ are equivalent to $[q+2,3,q]$ MDS codes over $\gf(q)$, called hyperoval…

For any polynomial $P \in \mathbb{C}[X_1,X_2,...,X_n]$, we describe a $\mathbb{C}$-vector space $F(P)$ of solutions of a linear system of equations coming from some algebraic partial differential equations such that the dimension of $F(P)$…

Polynomials and elements over finite fields exhibit closely related algebraic structures, and many properties defined for elements extend naturally to polynomials. The concepts of order and $\mathbb{F}_q$-Order for elements have been…

A smooth hypersurface over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ is called Frobenius nonclassical if the image of every geometric point under the $q$-th Frobenius endomorphism remains in the unique hyperplane tangent to the point. In this paper, we…

We define a $q$-deformation of the classical ring of integer-valued polynomials which we call the ring of quantum integer-valued polynomials. We show that this ring has a remarkable combinatorial structure and enjoys many positivity…

Polynomials known as Multiple Orthogonal Polynomials in a single variable are polynomials that satisfy orthogonality conditions concerning multiple measures and play a significant role in several applications such as Hermite-Pad\'e…

The intersection distribution of a polynomial $f$ over finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ was recently proposed in Li and Pott (arXiv:2003.06678v1), which concerns the collective behaviour of a collection of polynomials $\{f(x)+cx \mid c \in…

We consider cubic polynomials f(z)=z^3+az+b defined over the function field C(L), with a marked point of period N and multiplier L. In the case N=1, there are infinitely many such objects, and in the case N>2, only finitely many. The case…

Given a ternary homogeneous polynomial, the fixed points of the map from $\mathbb{P}^2$ to itself defined by its gradient are called its eigenpoints. We focus on cubic polynomials, and analyze configurations of eigenpoints that admit one or…

Let $\mathbb F_{q^2}$ be the finite field with $q^2$ elements. We provide a simple and effective method, using reciprocal polynomials, for the construction of algebraic curves over $\mathbb F_{q^2}$ with many rational points. The curves…

A subset of $\mathbb{F}_q^2$ is called an arc if it does not contain three collinear points. We show that there are at most $\binom{(1 + o(1))q}{m}$ arcs of size $m \gg q^{1/2} (\log q)^{3/2}$, nearly matching a trivial lower bound…

Generalising the concept of a complete permutation polynomial over a finite field, we define completness to level $k$ for $k\ge1$ in fields of odd characteristic. We construct two families of polynomials that satisfy the condition of high…

Using an algebraic method for solving the wave equation in quantum mechanics, we encountered a new class of orthogonal polynomials on the real line. It consists of a four-parameter polynomial with continuous spectrum on the whole real line…

We study sets of univariate hyperbolic polynomials that share the same first few coefficients and show that they have a natural combinatorial description akin to that of polytopes. We define a stratification of such sets in terms of root…

We use tools of additive combinatorics for the study of subvarieties defined by {\it high rank} families of polynomials in high dimensional $\mathbb{F} _q$-vector spaces. In the first, analytic part of the paper we prove a number properties…
