Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and let $f \in K[x]$. The $m$-th {\it cyclic resultant} of $f$ is \[r_m = \text{Res}(f,x^m-1).\] A generic monic polynomial is determined by its full sequence of cyclic…

Let $g$ and $h$ be real-valued arithmetic functions, positive and normalized. Specific choices within the following general scheme of recursively defined polynomials \begin{equation*} P_n^{g,h}(x):= \frac{x}{h(n)} \sum_{k=1}^{n} g(k) \,…

Let $n \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geqslant 2}$. By $P(n)$ we denote the set of all prime divisors of the integers in the sequence $n, n^2-1, (n^2-1)^2-1, \dots$. We ask whether the set $P(n)$ determines $n$ uniquely under the assumption that $n \neq…

We give a purely combinatorial proof of the positivity of the stabilized forms of the generalized exponents associated to each classical root system. In finite type A_{n-1}, we rederive the description of the generalized exponents in terms…

We prove a case of a positivity conjecture of Mihalcea-Singh, concerned with the local Euler obstructions associated to the Schubert stratification of the Lagrangian Grassmannian LG(n,2n). Combined with work of…

For any branched double covering of compact Riemann surfaces, we consider the associated character varieties that are unitary in the global sense, which we call $\text{GL}_n\rtimes\!<\!\sigma\!>\!~$-character varieties. We restrict the…

Generalization of the Euler polynomials ${{A}_{n}}\left( x \right)={{\left( 1-x \right)}^{n+1}}\sum\nolimits_{m=0}^{\infty }{{{m}^{n}}{{x}^{m}}}$ are the polynomials ${{\alpha }_{n}}\left( x \right)={{\left( 1-x…

Let $(f_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ be a sequence of polynomials and $\alpha>1$. In this paper we study the distribution of the sequence $(f_n(\alpha))_{n=1}^{\infty}$ modulo one. We give sufficient conditions for a sequence $(f_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$…

We prove that for no nontrivial ordered abelian group G, the ordered power series field R((G)) admits an exponential, i.e. an isomorphism between its ordered additive group and its ordered multiplicative group of positive elements, but that…

A classical result states that the parity balance of the number of excedances of all permutations (derangements, respectively) of length $n$ is the Euler number. In 2010, Josuat-Verg\`{e}s gives a $q$-analogue with $q$ representing the…

Andr\'e proved that the number of alternating permutations on $\{1, 2, \dots, n\}$ is equal to the Euler number $E_n$. A refinement of Andr\'e's result was given by Entringer, who proved that counting alternating permutations according to…

Based on a determinantal formula for the higher derivative of a quotient of two functions, we first present the determinantal expressions of Eulerian polynomials and Andre polynomials. In particular, we discover that the Euler number…

A Cullen number is a number of the form $m2^m+1$, where $m$ is a positive integer. In 2004, Luca and St\u anic\u a proved, among other things, that the largest Fibonacci number in the Cullen sequence is $F_4=3$. Actually, they searched for…

Let $E$ and $A$ be elliptic curves over a number field $K$. Let $\chi$ be a quadratic character of $K$. We prove the conjecture posed by Mazur and Rubin on $n$-Selmer near-companion curves in the case $n=2$. Namely, we show if the…

Let $n$ be a nonnegative integer. The $n$-th Ap\'{e}ry number is defined by $$ A_n:=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom{n+k}{k}^2\binom{n}{k}^2. $$ Z.-W. Sun ever investigated the congruence properties of Ap\'{e}ry numbers and posed some conjectures. For…

In this article, we construct matrices associated to Pachner $\frac{n-1}{2}$-$\frac{n-1}{2}$ moves for odd $n$ and matrices associated to Pachner $(\frac{n}{2}-1)$-$\frac{n}{2}$ moves for even $n$. The entries of these matrices are rational…
