A map $f: K \to \mathbb{R}^d$ of a simplicial complex is an almost embedding if $f(\sigma) \cap f(\tau) = \varnothing$ whenever $\sigma, \tau$ are disjoint simplices of $K$. Fix integers $d,k \geqslant 2$ such that $k+2 \leqslant d…

In this paper, we study the critical orbit of a post-critically finite polynomial of the form $f_{c,d}(x) = x^d+c \in \mathbb{C}[x]$. We discover that in many cases the orbit elements satisfy some strong arithmetic properties. It is well…

Consider factorizations into transpositions of an n-cycle in the symmetric group S_n. To every such factorization we assign a monomial in variables w_{ij} that retains the transpositions used, but forgets their order. Summing over all…

Given a proper cone $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$, a multivariate polynomial $f \in \mathbb{C}[z] = \mathbb{C}[z_1, \ldots, z_n]$ is called $K$-stable if it does not have a root whose vector of the imaginary parts is contained in the interior…

Let $G$ be a graph without 4-cycles and 5-cycles. We show that the problem to determine whether $G$ is $(0,k)$-colorable is NP-complete for each positive integer $k.$ Moreover, we construct non-$(1,k)$-colorable planar graphs without…

Consider the question: Given integers $k<d<n$, does there exist a simple $d$-polytope with $n$ faces of dimension $k$? We show that there exist numbers $G(d,k)$ and $N(d,k)$ such that for $n> N(d,k)$ the answer is yes if and only if…

Let $p$ be a polynomial in several non-commuting variables with coefficients in a field $K$ of arbitrary characteristic. It has been conjectured that for any $n$, for $p$ multilinear, the image of $p$ evaluated on the set $M_n(K)$ of $n$ by…

The aim of this paper is to start the study of images of graded polynomials on full matrix algebras. We work with the matrix algebra $M_n(K)$ over a field $K$ endowed with its canonical $\mathbb{Z}_n$-grading (Vasilovsky's grading). We…

In this follow-up paper, we again inspect a surprising connection between the set of fixed points of a polynomial map $\varphi_{d,c}$ defined by $\varphi_{d,c}(z) = z^d + c$ for all $c, z \in \mathcal{O}_{K}$ and the coefficient $c$, where…

We consider the polynomials $\displaystyle f(x)=x^d+c$, where $d\ge 2$ and $c\in\mathbb Q$. It is conjectured that if $d=2$, then $f$ has no rational periodic point of exact period $N\ge 4$. In this note, fixing some integer $d\ge 2$, we…

For $\alpha \in \mathbb{R},$ we consider the scale of function spaces, namely the Dirichlet-type space $\mathcal{D}_{\alpha}$ consisting of holomorphic functions on the unit bidisk $\mathbb{D}^2$, $f(z,w)=\sum_{k,l=0}^{\infty}a_{kl}z^kw^l$…

Let K be an algebraic number field of degree d and discriminant D over Q. Let A be an associative algebra over K given by structure constants such that A is isomorphic to the algebra M_n(K) of n by n matrices over K for some positive…

Let $f_{c,d}(x)=x^d+c\in \mathbb{C}[x]$. The $c_0$ values for which $f_{c_0,d}$ has a strictly pre-periodic finite critical orbit are called Misiurewicz points. Any Misiurewicz point lies in $\bar{\mathbb{Q}}$. Suppose that the Misiurewicz…

In the goundbreaking paper [BD11] (which opened a wide avenue of research regarding unlikely intersections in arithmetic dynamics), Baker and DeMarco prove that for the family of polynomials $f_\lambda(x):=x^d+\lambda$ (parameterized by…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic zero, $K[x,y]$ be the polynomial ring in two variables. Let $\phi=(f, g)$ be an endomorphism of $K[x,y]$. It is proved that if $\phi$ maps each coordinate to a generator of some proper retract, then it…

We consider two number-theoretic problems arising from Fuglede's spectral set conjecture: characterizing finite sets that tile integers, and finding polynomials with (0,1) coefficients whose roots have a certain multiplicative structure. We…

Let $D$ be a principal ideal domain with infinite spectrum such that for every nonzero prime ideal $M$ of $D$, the residue field $D/M$ is finite. Let $K$ be the quotient field of $D$. We investigate sets of lengths in the ring of…

Let f and g be nonconstant polynomials over an arbitrary field K. In this paper we study the intersection of the polynomial rings K[f] and K[g], and in particular we ask whether this intersection is larger than K. We completely resolve this…

We show that polynomial recursions $x_{n+1}=x_{n}^{m}-k$ where $k,m$ are integers and $m$ is positive have no nontrivial periodic integral orbits for $m\geq3$. If $m=2$ then the recursion has integral two-cycles for infinitely many values…

Fix $d \ge 2$ and a field $k$ such that $\mathrm{char}~k \nmid d$. Assume that $k$ contains the $d$th roots of $1$. Then the irreducible components of the curves over $k$ parameterizing preperiodic points of polynomials of the form $z^d+c$…
