The paper introduces a notion of the Laplace operator of a polynomial p in noncommutative variables x=(x_1,...,x_g). The Laplacian Lap[p,h] of p is a polynomial in x and in a noncommuting variable h. When all variables commute we have…
The determinant of an anti-symmetric matrix $g$ is the square of its Pfaffian, which like the determinant is a polynomial in the entries of $g$. Studies of certain super conformal field theories (of class S) suggested a conjectural…
Given a multi-variable polynomial, there is an associated divided symmetrization (in particular turning it into a symmetric function). Postinkov has found the volume of a permutohedron as a divided symmetrization (DS) of the power of a…
Given a sequence of complex numbers {\rho}_n, we study the asymptotic distribution of the sets of parameters c {\epsilon} C such that the quadratic maps z^2 +c has a cycle of period n and multiplier {\rho}_n. Assume 1/n.log|{\rho}_n| tends…

Let R be a ring and let B be a commutative ring. Let p be a homogeneous multiplicative polynomial law of degree n from R to B. We show that p is essentially a determinant, in the sense that p is obtained from a determinant by left and right…
We study higher order determinantal varieties obtained by considering generic $m\times n$ ($m \le n$) matrices over rings of the form $F[t]/(t^k)$, and for some fixed $r$, setting the coefficients of powers of $t$ of all $r \times r$ minors…
We consider the characterizations of positive definite as well as nonnegative definite quadratic forms in terms of the principal minors of the associated symmetric matrix. We briefly review some of the known proofs, including a classical…
In this article, we show that the algebraic degree in semidefinite programming can be expressed in terms of the coefficient of a certain monomial in a doubly symmetric polynomial. This characterization of the algebraic degree allows us to…
For a fixed quadratic irreducible polynomial $f$ with no fixed prime factors at prime arguments, we prove that there exist infinitely many primes $p$ such that $f(p)$ has at most 4 prime factors, improving a classical result of Richert who…
We give a combinatorial interpretation of the determinant of a matrix as a generating function over Brauer diagrams in two different but related ways. The sign of a permutation associated to its number of inversions in the Leibniz formula…

We consider the class of polynomial optimization problems $\inf \{f(x):x\in K\}$ for which the quadratic module generated by the polynomials that define $K$ and the polynomial $c-f$ (for some scalar $c$) is Archimedean. For such problems,…
When reasoning about explanations of Machine Learning (ML) classifiers, a pertinent query is to decide whether some sensitive features can serve for explaining a given prediction. Recent work showed that the feature membership problem (FMP)…
Let $A$ be an $(m \times n)$ integral matrix, and let $P=\{ x : A x \leq b\}$ be an $n$-dimensional polytope. The width of $P$ is defined as $ w(P)=min\{ x\in \mathbb{Z}^n\setminus\{0\} :\: max_{x \in P} x^\top u - min_{x \in P} x^\top v…
