For odd square-free n > 1 the n-th cyclotomic polynomial satisfies an identity of Gauss. There are similar identity of Aurifeuille, Le Lasseur and Lucas. These identities all involve certain polynomials with integer coefficients. We show…

We prove a structure theorem for multiplicative functions which states that an arbitrary bounded multiplicative function can be decomposed into two terms, one that is approximately periodic and another that has small Gowers uniformity norm…

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…

This paper investigates coefficients of cyclotomic polynomials theoretically and experimentally. We prove the following result. {{\em If $n=p_1\ldots p_k$ where $p_i$ are odd primes and $p_1<p_2<\ldots<p_r<p_1+p_2<p_{r+1}<\ldots<p_t$ with…

Let $P_1,...,P_n$ be generic homogeneous polynomials in $n$ variables of degrees $d_1,...,d_n$ respectively. We prove that if $\nu$ is an integer satisfying ${\sum_{i=1}^n d_i}-n+1-\min\{d_i\}<\nu,$ then all multivariate subresultants…

We show that the existence of exceptional polynomials leads to the presence of non-trivial supersymmetry. The existence of these polynomials reveals several distinct isospectral potentials for the Schr\"odinger equation. All Schr\"odinger…

Consider a sparse polynomial in several variables given explicitly as a sum of non-zero terms with coefficients in an effective field. In this paper, we present several algorithms for factoring such polynomials and related tasks (such as…

The Casas-Alvero conjecture predicts that every univariate polynomial over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero sharing a common factor with each of its Hasse-Schmidt derivatives is a power of a linear polynomial. The…

Let $f(x)$ be a monic polynomial in $\dZ[x]$ with no rational roots but with roots in $\dQ_p$ for all $p$, or equivalently, with roots mod $n$ for all $n$. It is known that $f(x)$ cannot be irreducible but can be a product of two or more…

We study the explicit factorization of $2^n r$-th cyclotomic polynomials over finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ where $q, r$ are odd with $(r, q) =1$. We show that all irreducible factors of $2^n r$-th cyclotomic polynomials can be obtained…

The tensor square conjecture states that for $n \geq 10$, there is an irreducible representation $V$ of the symmetric group $S_n$ such that $V \otimes V$ contains every irreducible representation of $S_n$. Our main result is that for large…

In this paper, we construct the supersymmetric spinning polynomials. These are orthogonal polynomials that serve as an expansion basis for the residue or discontinuity of four-point scattering amplitudes, respecting four-dimensional super…

The aim of this paper is to prove an important generalization of the construction of the Incidence Divisor given in [BMg]. Let Z be a complex manifold and (X_{s})_{s\in S}an family of n-cycles (not necessarily compact) in Z parametrized by…

We generalize Sylvester single sums to multisets (sets with repeated elements), and show that these sums compute subresultants of two univariate polyomials as a function of their roots independently of their multiplicity structure. This is…

We prove a conjecture by Brown, Dilcher and Manna on the asymptotic behavior of sparse binomial-type polynomials arising naturally in a graph theoretical context in connection with the expected number of independent sets of a graph.

The Poupard polynomials are polynomials in one variable with integer coefficients, with some close relationship to Bernoulli and tangent numbers. They also have a combinatorial interpretation. We prove that every Poupard polynomial has all…

The simplest version of Bertini's irreducibility theorem states that the generic fiber of a non-composite polynomial function is an irreducible hypersurface. The main result of this paper is its analog for a free algebra: if $f$ is a…

For a suitable irreducible \textit{base} polynomial $f(x)\in \mathbf{Z}[x]$ of degree $k$, a family of polynomials $F_m(x)$ depending on $f(x)$ is constructed with the properties: (i) there is exactly one irreducible factor $\Phi_{d,f}(x)$…

Morton and Vivaldi defined the polynomials whose roots are parabolic parameters for a one-parameter family of polynomial maps. We call these polynomials delta factors. They conjectured that delta factors are irreducible for the family…

The Shub-Smale Tau Conjecture is a hitherto unproven statement (on integer roots of polynomials) whose truth implies both a variant of $P\neq NP$ (for the BSS model over C) and the hardness of the permanent. We give alternative conjectures,…
