Any multilinear non-central polynomial $p$ (in several noncommuting variables) takes on values of degree $n$ in the matrix algebra $M_n(F)$ over an infinite field $F$. The polynomial $p$ is called {\it $\nu$-central} for $M_n(F)$ if $p^\nu$…

The article is devoted to the investigation of transformation groups of polynomials over Cayley-Dickson algebras and their manifolds of zeros. The problems about expressibility of zeros with the help of roots and decomposibility of…

The aim of this paper is to derive explicitly a connection between the Zagier elliptic trilogarithm and Mahler measures of a certain family of three-variable polynomials defining K3 surfaces. In addition, we prove some linear relations…

Stein proved that for each simple plane triangulation H there exists a partitioning of the vertex of H into two subsets each of which induces a forest if and only if the dual H^{*} has a Hamilton cycle. We extend the Stein theorem for…

Suppose that f has continuous derivatives thru order r+1 for x>0, and let P_{c} denote the Taylor polynomial to f of order r at x=c,c>0. In a previous paper of the author, it was shown that if r is an odd whole number and the (r+1)st…

Pappus' Involution Theorem is a powerful tool for proving theorems about non-euclidean triangles and generalized triangles in Cayley-Klein models. Its power is illustrated by proving with it some theorems about euclidean and non-euclidean…

Modular curves like X_0(N) and X_1(N) appear very frequently in arithmetic geometry. While their complex points are obtained as a quotient of the upper half plane by some subgroups of SL_2(Z), they allow for a more arithmetic description as…

We prove that for any circulant matrix $C$ of size $n\times n$ with the monic characteristic polynomial $p(z)$, the spectrum of its $(n-1)\times(n-1)$ submatrix $C_{n-1}$ constructed with first $n-1$ rows and columns of $C$ consists of all…

Landau's work on the singularities of Feynman diagrams suggests that they can only be of three types: either poles, logarithmic divergences, or the roots of quadratic polynomials. On the other hand, many Feynman integrals exist whose…

The isolation intervals of the real roots of the symbolic monic cubic polynomial $x^3 + a x^2 + b x + c$ are determined, in terms of the coefficients of the polynomial, by solving the Siebeck-Marden-Northshield triangle - the equilateral…

A linear operator on a finite dimensional nonzero real vector space may not have an eigenvalue. We define a related notion of a true-pair of a linear operator, and then show that each linear operator on a finite dimensional nonzero real…

In this paper, we introduce a ring isomorphism between the Clifford algebra $C\ell_2$ and a ring of matrices, and represent the elements in $C\ell_2$ by real matrices. By such a ring isomorphism, we introduce the concept of the…

For positive integers m and n, denote S(m,n) as the associated Stirling number of the second kind and let z be a complex variable. In this paper, we introduce the Stirling functions S(m,n,z) which satisfy S(m,n,z) = S(m,n) for any z which…

In this paper we consider images of (ordinary) noncommutative polynomials on matrix algebras endowed with a graded structure. We give necessary and sufficient conditions to verify that some multilinear polynomial is a central polynomial, or…

We discover suprising connections between three seemingly different problems: finding right triangles with rational sides in a non-Euclidean geometry, finding three integers such that the difference of the squares of any two is a square,…

This article makes the key observation that when using cylindrical algebraic decomposition (CAD) to solve a problem with respect to a set of polynomials, it is not always the signs of those polynomials that are of paramount importance but…

The isodynamic points of a plane triangle are known to be the only pair of its centers invariant under the action of the Mobius group on the set of triangles. Generalizing this classical result, we introduce below the isodynamic map…

We introduce a kind of converse of Pompeiu's theorem. Fix an equilateral triangle $\triangle A_0B_0C_0$, then for any triangle $\triangle ABC$ there is a unique point $P$ inside the circumcircle $\Gamma_0$ of $\triangle A_0B_0C_0$ such that…

We introduce a series of $\Z_2^n$-graded quasialgebras $\bbP_n(m)$ which generalizes Clifford algebras, higher octonions, and higher Cayley algebras. The constructed series of algebras and their minor perturbations are applied to contribute…
