For a class of polynomials $f \in \mathbb{Z}[X]$, which in particular includes all quadratic polynomials, and also trinomials of some special form, we show that, under some natural conditions (necessary for quadratic polynomials), the set…
We study the higher-order Euler polynomials and give the corresponding monic orthogonal polynomials, which are Meixner-Pollaczek polynomials with certain arguments and constant factors. Moreover, through a general connection between moments…
We investigate power series satisfying the exponential concentration property, and show that suitable modifications of hypergeometric series respect this property. As a geometric application, we prove that the quantum period of a Fano…
We study the set of algebraic objects known as vanishing polynomials (the set of polynomials that annihilate all elements of a ring) over general commutative rings with identity. These objects are of special interest due to their close…
Let $F$ be an infinite field, and let $M_{n}(F)$ be the algebra of $n\times n$ matrices over $F$. Suppose that this algebra is equipped with an elementary grading whose neutral component coincides with the main diagonal. In this paper, we…
Given a prime power $q$ and positive integers $m,t,e$ with $e > mt/2$, we determine the number of all monic irreducible polynomials $f(x)$ of degree $m$ with coefficients in $\mathbb{F}_q$ such that $f(x^t)$ contains an irreducible factor…
We say that a monic polynomial $f(x)\in {\mathbb Z}[x]$ of degree $N\ge 2$ is monogenic if $f(x)$ is irreducible over ${\mathbb Q}$ and $\{1,\theta,\theta^2,\ldots ,\theta^{N-1}\}$ is a basis for the ring of integers of ${\mathbb…
We introduce Lehmer codes, with immersions in the Bruhat order, for several finite Coxeter groups, including all the classical Weyl groups. This allows to associate to each lower Bruhat interval of these groups a multicomplex whose…
Let f be a polynomial of degree at least 2 with coefficients in a number field K, let x_0 be a sufficiently general element of K, and let alpha be a root of f. We give precise conditions under which Newton iteration, started at the point…
We consider a certain left action by the monoid $SL_2(\mathbf{N}_0)$ on the set of divisor pairs $\mathcal{D}_f := \{ (m, n) \in \mathbf{N}_0 \times \mathbf{N}_0 : m \lvert f(n) \}$ where $f \in \mathbf{Z}[x]$ is a polynomial with integer…
Given $f \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ and $n \in \mathbb{Z^{+}}$, the $\emph{discriminator}$ $D_f(n)$ is the smallest positive integer $m$ such that $f(1), \ldots, f(n)$ are distinct mod $m$. In a recent paper, Z.-W. Sun proved that $D_f(n) =…
We present a simple discussion of the appearance of light-front partons in local field theory.The description in terms of partons provides a dimensional reduction which relates a 2+1 with a 3+1 dimensional theory for example. The…
The main focus of this paper is to study multi-valued linear monotone operators in the contexts of locally convex spaces via the use of their Fitzpatrick and Penot functions. Notions such as maximal monotonicity, uniqueness,…
Using Newton polygons, a key factorization result for polynomials over discrete valuation domains is proved, which in particular yields new irreducibility criteria including a generalization of the classical irreducibility criterion of…
Suppose $F$ is an infinite field and let $f \in F\{X_1, \dots,X_m\}$ be a noncommutative polynomial. Partially answering a query of Makar-Limanov, we show that there are numbers $d$ and $m'$ such that, if $F$ is closed under taking $d$th…
Choose a random degree d poly f with coefficients in a finite field F. We estimate the ultimate period of f under compositional iteration. We also determine the joint distribution of the small cycle lengths in the graph with edges (x,f(x)),…
We design a deterministic subexponential time algorithm that takes as input a multivariate polynomial $f$ computed by a constant-depth circuit over rational numbers, and outputs a list $L$ of circuits (of unbounded depth and possibly with…
We interest in the behaviour of the period function for equations of the type $u'' + g(u) = 0$ and $u'' + f(u)u' + g(u) = 0$ with a center at the origin 0. $g$ is a function of class $C^k$. For the conservative case, if $k \geq 2$ one shows…
The aim of the present article is to construct quadratically integrable three dimensional systems in non-vanishing magnetic fields which possess so-called non-subgroup type integrals. The presence of such integrals means that the system…
Let $p$ be a prime. We study the structure of and the inclusion relations among the terms in the monomial lattice in the modular symmetric power representations of $\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbb{F}_p)$. We also determine the structure of certain…
