For a subgroup of $PGL(2,q)$ we show how some irreducible polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_q$ arise from the field of invariant rational functions. The proofs rely on two actions of $PGL(2,F)$, one on the projective line over a field $F$ and…

We extend some results about shifted Schur functions to the general context of shifted Macdonald polynomials. We obtain two explicit formulas for these polynomials: a $q$-integral representation and a combinatorial formula. Our main tool is…

We retrace the recent history of the Umbral Calculus. After studying the classic results concerning polynomial sequences of binomial type, we generalize to a certain type of logarithmic series. Finally, we demonstrate numerous typical…

Recently, a $q$-polynomial approach to the construction and analysis of cyclic codes over $\gf(q)$ was given by Ding and Ling. The objective of this paper is to give another $q$-polynomial approach to all cyclic codes over $\gf(q)$.

The ring of q-character polynomials is a q-analog of the classical ring of character polynomials for the symmetric groups. This ring consists of certain class functions defined simultaneously on the groups $Gl_n(F_q)$ for all n, which we…

Let $K$ be a field and $S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$, the ring of polynomials in $n$ variables, over $K$. Using the fact that the Hilbert depth is an upper bound for the Stanley depth of a quotient of squarefree monomial ideals $0\subset…

The ring of polynomial over a finite field $F_q[x]$ has received much attention, both from a combinatorial viewpoint as in regards to its action on measurable dynamical systems. In the case of $(\mathbb{Z},+)$ we know that the ideal…

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…

The summatory function of a $q$-regular sequence in the sense of Allouche and Shallit is analysed asymptotically. The result is a sum of periodic fluctuations for eigenvalues of absolute value larger than the joint spectral radius of the…

One of the generalizations of multiple zeta values is the $q$-version, and in the case of finite sums, they may be expressed explicitly in polynomial form. Several results have been found when the powers of the factors in the denominator…

Given a semi-algebraic set S, we study compactifications of S that arise from embeddings into complete toric varieties. This makes it possible to describe the asymptotic growth of polynomial functions on S in terms of combinatorial data. We…

We study the characteristic polynomial of random permutation matrices following some measures which are invariant by conjugation, including Ewens' measures which are one-parameter deformations of the uniform distribution on the permutation…

L. Bary-Soroker and R. Shmueli (2026) have given an asymptotic formula for the number of irreducible polynomials over the finite fields $\mathbb F_q$ of $q$ elements, such that their coefficients are perfect squares in $\mathbb F_q$ and…

Schur's transforms of a polynomial are used to count its roots in the unit disk. These are generalized them by introducing the sequence of symmetric sub-resultants of two polynomials. Although they do have a determinantal definition, we…

We derive raising and lowering operators for orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle and find second order differential and $q$-difference equations for these polynomials. A general functional equation is found which allows one to relate…

We classify all post-critically finite unicritical polynomials defined over the maximal totally real algebraic extension of ${\mathbb Q}$. Two auxiliary results used in the proof of this result may be of some independent interest. The first…

We first show the existence and nature of convergence to a limiting set of roots for polynomials in a three-term recurrence of the form $p_{n+1}(z) = Q_k(z)p_{n}(z)+ \gamma p_{n-1}(z)$ as $n$ $\rightarrow$ $\infty$, where the coefficient…

Descent polynomials and peak polynomials, which enumerate permutations with given descent and peak sets respectively, have recently received considerable attention. We give several formulas for $q$-analogs of these polynomials which refine…

We consider summations over digamma and polygamma functions, often with summands of the form (\pm 1)^n\psi(n+p/q)/n^r and (\pm 1)^n\psi^{(m)} (n+p/q)/n^r, where m, p, q, and r are positive integers. We develop novel general integral…

Let $P: \F \times \F \to \F$ be a polynomial of bounded degree over a finite field $\F$ of large characteristic. In this paper we establish the following dichotomy: either $P$ is a moderate asymmetric expander in the sense that $|P(A,B)|…
