For each positive integer n, we define a polynomial in the variables z_1,...,z_n with coefficients in the ring $\mathbb{Q}[q,t,r]$ of polynomial functions of three parameters q, t, r. These polynomials naturally arise in the context of…

We classify Frobenius forms, a special class of homogeneous polynomials in characteristic $p>0$, in up to five variables over an algebraically closed field. We also point out some of the similarities with quadratic forms.

Several notions of multiplicativity are introduced for forms of degree $d\geq 3$ over a field of characteristic 0 or greater than d. Examples of multiplicative and strongly multiplicative forms of higher degree are given. Conditions…

There is considered the problem of describing up to linear conformal equivalence those harmonic cubic homogeneous polynomials for which the squared-norm of the Hessian is a nonzero multiple of the quadratic form defining the Euclidean…

We extend to characteristic two recent results about isotropy of quadratic forms over function fields. In particular, we provide a characterization of function fields not only of quadratic forms but also more generally of polynomials in…

A theorem is proved concerning approximation of analytic functions by multivariate polynomials in the $s$-dimensional hypercube. The geometric convergence rate is determined not by the usual notion of degree of a multivariate polynomial,…

Antimonotonous quadratic forms generalizing P-faithful posets defined by authors earlier are introduced. The criterion of antimonotonousness is given for posets with positive semidefinite quadratic forms. As consequence the new proofs of…

In this paper, we present a general framework for the derivation of interesting finite combinatorial sums starting with certain classes of polynomial identities. The sums that can be derived involve products of binomial coefficients and…

A triangular form is defined to be an integer-valued quadratic polynomial of the form $a_1P_3(x_1)+a_2P_3(x_2)+\cdots+a_kP_3(x_k)$ where $a_i's$ are positive integers and $P_3(x)=x(x+1)/2$. A triangular form is called regular if it…

Let $A$ and $B$ be finite-dimensional simple algebras with arbitrary signature over an algebraically closed field. Suppose $A$ and $B$ are graded by a semigroup $S$ so that the graded identitical relations of $A$ are the same as those of…

It is known that every complex square matrix with nonnegative determinant is the product of positive semi-definite matrices. There are characterizations of matrices that require two or five positive semi-definite matrices in the product.…

For a field $E$ of characteristic different from $2$ and cohomological $2$-dimension one, quadratic forms over the rational function field $E(X)$ are studied. A characterisation in terms of polynomials in $E[X]$ is obtained for having that…

We give a criterion which characterizes a homogeneous real multi-variate polynomial to have the property that all sufficiently large powers of the polynomial (as well as their products with any given positive homogeneous polynomial) have…

A collection $\mathcal S$ of equivalence classes of positive definite integral quadratic forms in $n$ variables is called an $n$-exceptional set if there exists a positive definite integral quadratic form which represents all equivalence…

Orthogonal polynomials of two real variables can often be represented in complex variables. We explore the connection between the two types of representations and study the structural relations of complex orthogonal polynomials. The complex…

In this paper we generalize the result of Fouvry and Iwaniec dealing with prime values of the quadratic form $x^2 + y^2$ with one input restricted to a thin subset of the integers. We prove the same result with an arbitrary primitive…

The signature(s) of the curvature of the zero set V of a free (non-commutative) polynomial is defined as the number of positive and negative eigenvalues of the non-commutative second fundamental form on V determined by p. With some natural…

In this note, we give an elementary proof of the following classical fact. Any positive definite ternary quadratic form over the rational numbers fails to represent infinitely many positive integers. For any ternary quadratic form (positive…

In different areas of discrete mathematics, a certain type of polynomials, having coefficients in a field K of finite characteristic, has been considered. The form and the degree of these polynomials, here called projective, are simply…

A positive quadratic form is $(k,\ell)$-universal if it represents all the numbers $kx+\ell$ where $x$ is a non-negative integer, and almost $(k,\ell)$-universal if it represents all but finitely many of them. We prove that for any $k,\ell$…
