Let $G$ be an almost simple simply-connected affine algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p > 0$. If $G$ has type $B_n$, $C_n$ or $F_4$, we assume that $p > 2$, and if $G$ has type $G_2$, we assume that…

Let $\mathbb F$ be a field and $P \in \mathbb F [x_1,\ldots, x_n]$ be a homogeneous polynomial such that $|\mathbb F| > \deg(P)$ and $\phi, \psi\colon \mathbb F^n \to \mathbb F^n$ be two maps such that $P(\mathbf{x} + \lambda\mathbf{y}) =…

This is a full study of the dynamics of polynomial planar vector fields whose linear part is a multiple of the identity and whose nonlinear part is a homogeneous polynomial of arbitrary degree $n>1$. It extends previous work by other…

One of the interesting problems in arithmetic dynamics is to study the stability of polynomials over a field. In this paper, we study the stability of $f(z)=z^d+\frac{1}{c}$ for $d\geq 2$, $c\in{\mathbb{Z}\setminus\{0\}}$. We show that for…

Let $p$ be a homogeneous polynomial of degree $n$ in $n$ variables, $p(z_1,...,z_n) = p(Z)$, $Z \in C^{n}$. We call such a polynomial $p$ {\bf H-Stable} if $p(z_1,...,z_n) \neq 0$ provided the real parts $Re(z_i) > 0, 1 \leq i \leq n$. This…

We study the stability of general weakly coupled systems subject to a reduced number of local or boundary controls. We show that, under Kalman's rank condition, the exponential stability of the underlying scalar equation implies polynomial…

In this paper, we characterize the stability region for trinomials of the form $f(\zeta):=a\zeta ^n + b\zeta ^m +c$, $\zeta\in \mathbb{C}$, where $a$, $b$ and $c$ are non-zero complex numbers and $n,m\in \mathbb{N}$ with $n>m$. More…

We bound the location of roots of polynomials that have nonnegative coefficients with respect to a fixed but arbitrary basis of the vector space of polynomials of degree at most $d$. For this, we interpret the basis polynomials as vector…

The totally nonnegative Grassmannian is the set of k-dimensional subspaces V of R^n whose nonzero Pluecker coordinates all have the same sign. Gantmakher and Krein (1950) and Schoenberg and Whitney (1951) independently showed that V is…

In this paper, we investigate the geometric properties of complex-valued pluriharmonic mappings defined over convex Reinhardt domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$. We first establish a multidimensional analogue of the Noshiro-Warschawski Theorem,…

The following observation must surely be "well-known", but it seems worth giving a simple and quite explicit proof. Take any finite subset X of Rn, n>1. Then, there is a polynomial function P:Rn -> R which has local minima on the set X, and…

A transversely holomorphic foliation on a compact complex manifold, exhibits a compact stable leaf if and only if the set of compact leaves is not a zero measure subset of the manifold.

There is a cell decomposition of the nonnegative Grassmannian. For each cell, totally positive bases(TP-bases) is defined as the minimal set of Pl\"ucker variables such that all other nonzero Pl\"ucker variables in the cell can be expressed…

Functions preserving Loewner positivity when applied entrywise to positive semidefinite matrices have been widely studied in the literature. Following the work of Schoenberg [Duke Math. J. 9], Rudin [Duke Math. J. 26], and others, it is…

We show that the associated form, or equivalently a Macaulay inverse system, of an Artinian complete intersection of type $(d,\dots, d)$ is polystable. As an application, we obtain an invariant-theoretic variant of the Mather-Yau theorem…

We continue our study of the topology of the spaces of $m$ tuples of real polynomials with common degree $d$ and without common roots of multiplicity $n$, and in particular their stability properties with respect to $d$. In an earlier paper…

Combining the Kazarian approach to Thom polynomials via classifying spaces of singularities with the Fulton-Lazarsfeld theory of numerical positivity for ample vector bundles, we show that the coefficients of various Schur function…

A matrix is called totally nonnegative (TN) if all its minors are nonnegative, and totally positive (TP) if all its minors are positive. Multiplying a vector by a TN matrix does not increase the number of sign variations in the vector. In a…

This paper aims at extending the criterion that the quasi-stability of a polynomial is equivalent to the total nonnegativity of its Hurwitz matrix. We give a complete description of functions generating doubly infinite series with totally…

Given two polynomials $P(\underline x)$, $Q(\underline x)$ in one or more variables and with integer coefficients, how does the property that they are coprime relate to their values $P(\underline n), Q(\underline n)$ at integer points…
