Consider the ring $\mathcal{S}$ of symmetric polynomials in $k$ variables over an arbitrary base ring $\mathbf{k}$. Fix $k$ scalars $a_{1},a_{2},\ldots,a_{k}\in\mathbf{k}$. Let $I$ be the ideal of $\mathcal{S}$ generated by…

We prove that the 1D Schr\"odinger equation with derivative in the nonlinear term is globally well-posed in $H^{s}$, for $s>2/3$ for small $L^{2}$ data. The result follows from an application of the ``I-method''. This method allows to…

In this paper we continue our study of a complex variables version of Hilbert's seventeenth problem by generalizing some of the results from [CD]. Given a bihomogeneous polynomial $f$ of several complex variables that is positive away from…

A celebrated theorem of Shoda states that over any field K (of characteristic 0), every matrix with trace 0 can be expressed as a commutator AB-BA, or, equivalently, that the set of values of the polynomial f(x,y)=xy-yx on the nxn-matrix…

This article introduces a finite piecewise Euclidean cell complex homeomorphic to the space of monic centered complex polynomials of degree $d$ whose critical values lie in a fixed closed rectangular region. We call this the branched…

Let $d$ and $n$ be natural numbers greater or equal to $2$. Let $\langle \boldsymbol{a}, \nu_{d,n}(\boldsymbol{x})\rangle\in \mathbb{Z}[\boldsymbol{x}]$ be a homogeneous polynomial in $n$ variables of degree $d$ with integer coefficients…

We prove a detailed sums of squares formula for two variable polynomials with no zeros on the bidisk $\mathbb{D}^2$ extending previous versions of such a formula due to Cole-Wermer and Geronimo-Woerdeman. The formula is related to the…

We consider the set $\Pi ^*_d$ of monic polynomials $Q_d=x^d+\sum _{j=0}^{d-1}a_jx^j$, $x\in \mathbb{R}$, $a_j\in \mathbb{R}^*$, having $d$ distinct real roots, and its subsets defined by fixing the signs of the coefficients $a_j$. We show…

We identify the scaling region of a width O(n^{-1}) in the vicinity of the accumulation points $t=\pm 1$ of the real roots of a random Kac-like polynomial of large degree n. We argue that the density of the real roots in this region tends…

Let $\mathsf{r}_k$ be the unique positive root of $x^k - (x+1)^{k-1} = 0$. We prove the best known bounds on the number $n_{g,d}$ of $d$-dimensional generalized numerical semigroups, in particular that \[n_{g,d} > C_d^{g^{(d-1)/d}}…

We prove that if $g(x,y)$ is a polynomial of constant degree $d$ that $y_2-y_1$ does not divide $g(x_1,y_1)-g(x_2,y_2)$, then for any finite set $A \subset \mathbb{R}$ \[ |X| \gg_d |A|^2, \quad \text{where} \…

Rado's theorem about permutahedra and dominance order on partitions reveals that each Schur polynomial is M-convex, or equivalently, it has a saturated Newton polytope and this polytope is a generalized permutahedron as well. In this paper…

In this paper we derive aggregate separation bounds, named after Davenport-Mahler-Mignotte (\dmm), on the isolated roots of polynomial systems, specifically on the minimum distance between any two such roots. The bounds exploit the…

An analog of the Falconer distance problem in vector spaces over finite fields asks for the threshold $\alpha>0$ such that $|\Delta(E)| \gtrsim q$ whenever $|E| \gtrsim q^{\alpha}$, where $E \subset {\Bbb F}_q^d$, the $d$-dimensional vector…

We study the asymptotic distribution of roots of Lommel polynomials as polynomials of the order with a variable and purely imaginary argument. The roots are complex and accumulate on certain curves in the complex plane. We prove existence…

We study the roots of generalized Eulerian polynomials via a novel approach. We interpret Eulerian polynomials as the generating polynomials of a statistic over inversion sequences. Inversion sequences (also known as Lehmer codes or…

It is shown that, for each $d \geq 4$, there exists an integral convex polytope $\mathcal{P}$ of dimension $d$ such that each of the coefficients of $n, n^{2}, \ldots, n^{d-2}$ of its Ehrhart polynomial $i(\mathcal{P},n)$ is negative.
