Let $U$ be a set of polynomials of degree at most $k$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$, the finite field of $q$ elements. Assume that $U$ is an intersecting family, that is, the graphs of any two of the polynomials in $U$ share a common point.…

Let $K$ be a field, $a, b\in K$ and $ab\neq 0$. Let us consider the polynomials $g_{1}(x)=x^n+ax+b, g_{2}(x)=x^n+ax^2+bx$, where $n$ is a fixed positive integer. In this paper we show that for each $k\geq 2$ the hypersurface given by the…

Let $f$ be a homogeneous polynomial with rational coefficients in $d$ variables. We prove several results concerning uniform simultaneous approximation to points on the graph of $f$, as well as on the hypersurface $\{f(x_1,\dots,x_d) =…

We consider the problem of deterministically factoring a univariate polynomial over a finite field under the assumption of the Extended Riemann Hypothesis (ERH). This work builds upon the line of approach first explored by Gao in $2001$.…

The surface corresponding to the moduli space of quadratic endomorphisms of $\mathbb{P}^1$ with a marked periodic point of order $n$ is studied. It is shown that the surface is rational over $\mathbb{Q}$ when $n\le 5$ and is of general type…

We prove that if f is a self-map of an algebraic variety over a field K, then under certain conditions on X, f and K the set of possible periods of K-valued periodic points of f is finite.

In this follow-up paper, we again inspect a surprising relationship between the set of $m$-periodic 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…

We study rational periodic points of polynomial $f_{d,c}(x)=x^d+c$ over the field of rational numbers, where $d$ is an integer greater than 2. For period 2, we classify all possible periodic points for degrees $d=4,6$. We also demonstrate…

It has been conjectured that for $N$ sufficiently large, there are no quadratic polynomials in $\bold Q[z]$ with rational periodic points of period $N$. Morton proved there were none with $N=4$, by showing that the genus~$2$ algebraic curve…

Inspired by Feynman integral computations in quantum field theory, Kontsevich conjectured in 1997 that the number of points of graph hypersurfaces over a finite field $\F_q$ is a (quasi-) polynomial in $q$. Stembridge verified this for all…

Let $q$ be an odd prime power. Let $f\in \mathbb{F}_q[x]$ be a polynomial having degree at least $2$, $a\in \mathbb{F}_q$, and denote by $f^n$ the $n$-th iteration of $f$. Let $\chi$ be the quadratic character of $\mathbb{F}_q$, and…

Call two pairs $(M,N)$ and $(M',N')$ of $m\times n$ matrices over a field $K$, \emph{simultaneously K-equivalent} if there exist square invertible matrices $S,T$ over K, with $M'=SMT$ and $N'=SNT$. Kronecker \cite{Kronecker} has given a…
