Using a result of Robertson \textit{[Proc. Edinburgh Math. Soc. (2), 1976]}, we introduce a notion of differentiation of maps on certain classes of unital commutative C*-algebras. We then derive C*-algebraic Gauss-Lucas theorem and…

We use a generalization of Vinogradov's mean value theorem of S. Parsell, S. Prendiville and T. Wooley and ideas of W. Schmidt to give nontrivial bounds for the number of solutions to polynomial congruences, for arbitrary polynomials, when…

Consider a homogeneous polynomial $p(z_1,...,z_n)$ of degree $n$ in $n$ complex variables . Assume that this polynomial satisfies the property : \\ $|p(z_1,...,z_n)| \geq \prod_{1 \leq i \leq n} Re(z_i)$ on the domain $\{(z_1,...,z_n) :…

The AJ Conjecture relates a quantum invariant, a minimal order recursion for the colored Jones polynomial of a knot (known as the $\hat{A}$ polynomial), with a classical invariant, namely the defining polynomial $A$ of the $\psl$ character…

We introduce a new problem on the elementary symmetric polynomials $\sigma_k$, stemming from the constraint equations of some modified gravity theory. For which coefficients is a linear combination of $\sigma_k$ $1/p$-concave, with $0 \leq…

We provide explicit conditions for a real polynomial $f$ of degree 2d to be a sum of squares (s.o.s.), stated only in terms of the coefficients of $f$, i.e. with no lifting. All conditions are simple and provide an explicit description of a…

A hyperplane arrangement is said to satisfy the ``Riemann hypothesis'' if all roots of its characteristic polynomial have the same real part. This property was conjectured by Postnikov and Stanley for certain families of arrangements which…

We present a sufficient condition for a self-inversive polynomial to have a fixed number of roots on the complex unit circle. We also prove that these roots are simple when that condition is satisfied. This generalizes the condition found…

We study the probability that a random polynomial with integer coefficients is reducible when factored over the rational numbers. Using computer-generated data, we investigate a number of different models, including both monic and non-monic…

We provide a short proof of the theorem that every real multivariate polynomial has a symmetric determinantal representation, which was first proved in J. W. Helton, S. A. McCullough, and V. Vinnikov, Noncommutative convexity arises from…

We prove Odoni's conjecture in all prime degrees; namely, we prove that for every positive prime $p$, there exists a degree $p$ polynomial $\varphi\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$ with surjective arboreal Galois representation. We also show that Vojta's…

We show generic existence of power series a with complex coefficients a_n, such that the sequence of partial sums of a new power series where its coefficients b_n are functions of a_0, a_1, ..., a_n approximate every polynomial uniformly on…

In this paper we study and relate several invariants connected to the solving degree of a polynomial system. This provides a rigorous framework for estimating the complexity of solving a system of polynomial equations via Groebner bases…

Recently, it was proved by Anari-Oveis Gharan-Vinzant, Anari-Liu-Oveis Gharan-Vinzant and Br\"{a}nd\'{e}n-Huh that, for any matroid $M$, its basis generating polynomial and its independent set generating polynomial are log-concave on the…

In this elementary note we prove that a polynomial with rational coefficients divides the derivative of some polynomial which splits in $\Q$ if and only if all of its irrational roots are real and simple. This provides an answer to a…

Notions of rank abound in the literature on tensor decomposition. We prove that strength, recently introduced for homogeneous polynomials by Ananyan-Hochster in their proof of Stillman's conjecture and generalised here to other tensors, is…

We prove equality of the vector field (iterated commutator) type and the regular contact type, which together with the Bloom theorem on equality of the Levi-form type and the regular contact type provides a complete solution of a long…

This review dealt with generalized Melvin solutions for simple finite-dimensional Lie algebras. Each solution appears in a model which includes a metric and $n$ scalar fields coupled to $n$ Abelian 2-forms with dilatonic coupling vectors…

Let $f \in \mathbb{R}[x]$ be a polynomial with real coefficients. We say that $f$ is eventually non-negative if $f^m$ has non-negative coefficients for all sufficiently large $m \in \mathbb{N}$. In this short note, we give a classification…

To directed graphs with unique sink and source we associate a noncommutative associative alsgebra and a polynomial over this algebra. Edges of the graph correspond to pseudo-roots of the polynomial. We give a sufficient condition when…
