Let $f_1,\dots,f_m$ be polynomials in $n$ variables with coefficients in a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. We estimate the number of points $\underline{x}$ in $\mathbb{F}_q^n$ such that each value $f_i(\underline{x})$ is a nonzero square in…

We consider the question of determining the maximum number of $\mathbb{F}_q$-rational points that can lie on a hypersurface of a given degree in a weighted projective space over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, or in other words, the…

Let $C$ be an affine plane curve. We consider additive functions $f: K\rightarrow K$ for which $f(x)f(y)=0$, whenever $(x,y)\in C$. We show that if $K=\mathbb{R}$ and $C$ is the hyperbola with defining equation $xy=1$, then there exist…

Let $\A$ be an algebra and let $f(x_1,...,x_d)$ be a multilinear polynomial in noncommuting indeterminates $x_i$. We consider the problem of describing linear maps $\phi:\A\to \A$ that preserve zeros of $f$. Under certain technical…

We construct, for every even dimensional sphere $S^n$, $n >1$, and every odd integer $k$, a homogeneous polynomial map $f: S^{n}\to S^{n}$ of Brouwer degree $k$ and algebraic degree $2|k|-1$.

I give a theory of Moebius-flat hypersurfaces in n-dimensional projective space, analogous to that in conformal geometry. This unifies the classes of hypersurfaces with flat induced conformal structure (n > 3) and a classically studied…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic $0$. We present an explicit algorithm that, given the invariants of a generic homogeneous polynomial $f$ under the linear action of $\mathrm{GL}_n$ or $\mathrm{SL}_n$, returns a polynomial differing from…

A subspace $X$ of a vector space over a field $K$ is hyperinvariant with respect to an endomorphism $f$ of $V$ if it is invariant for all endomorphisms of $V$ that commute with $f$. We assume that $f$ is locally nilpotent, that is, every $…

In this paper we present and analyse a construction of irreducible polynomials over odd prime fields via the transforms which take any polynomial $f \in \mathbf{F}_p[x]$ of positive degree $n$ to $\left(\frac{x}{k} \right)^n \cdot…

Let X be a smooth quasiprojective subscheme of P^n of dimension m >= 0 over F_q. Then there exist homogeneous polynomials f over F_q for which the intersection of X and the hypersurface f=0 is smooth. In fact, the set of such f has a…

M. Amer and A. Brumer have shown that, for two homogeneous quadratic polynomials f and g in at least 3 variables over a field k of characteristic different from 2, the locus f=g=0 has non-trivial solution over k if and only if, for a…

Let $q>2$, and let $a$ and $b$ be two elements of the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with $a\ne 0$. Carlitz represented the transposition $(0a)$ by a polynomial of degree $(q-2)^3$. In this note, we represent the transposition $(ab)$ by a…

Let $f_1(x),\ldots,f_n(x)$ be some polynomials. The upper bound on the number of $x\in\mathbb F_p$ such that $f_1(x),\ldots,f_n(x)$ are roots of unit of order $t$ is obtained. This bound generalize the bound of the paper \cite{V-S} to the…

Let f be a generic polynomial mapping mapping from the plane to the plane. There are constructed quadratic forms whose signatures determine the number of positive and negative cusps of f.

We consider surjective endomorphisms f of degree > 1 on the projective n-space with n = 3, and f^{-1}-stable hypersurfaces V. We show that V is a hyperplane (i.e., deg(V) = 1) but with four possible exceptions; it is conjectured that deg(V)…

Several classes of *-algebras associated to the action of an affine transformation are considered, and an investigation of the interplay between the different classes of algebras is initiated. Connections are established that relate…

A notion of Drinfeld polynomials is introduced for modules of two-parameter quantum affine algebras. Finite dimensional representations are then characterized by sets of $l$-tuples of pairs of Drinfeld polynomials with certain conditions.

Let $S$ be a smooth projective complex algebraic surface and $f\, :\, S\, \longrightarrow\, {\mathbb C}{\mathbb P}^2$ a finite map. Consider a pencil of hyperplane sections on ${\mathbb C}{\mathbb P}^2$ and pull it back to $S$. We address…

We present an algorithmic equivalent statement to the Jacobian conjecture. Given a polynomial map F on an affine space of dimension n, our algorithm constructs n sequences of polynomials such that F is invertible if and only if the zero…

Let $f\in\mathbb{Z}[T]$ be any polynomial of degree $d>1$ and $F\in\mathbb{Z}[X_{0},...,X_{n}]$ an irreducible homogeneous polynomial of degree $e>1$ such that the projective hypersurface $V(F)$ is smooth. In this paper we give a bound for…
