In even-dimensional Euclidean space for integer powers of the Laplacian greater than or equal to the dimension divided by two, a fundamental solution for the polyharmonic equation has logarithmic behavior. We give two approaches for…

We propose a mathematical walk around the gcd of the values $A(n)$ and $B(n)$ of two polynomials evaluated at an integer $n$. This is an opportunity to use a very powerful tool: the resultant.

For any sequence of matrix algebras that converge to a coadjoint orbit we give explicit formulas that show that the distances between the matrix algebras (viewed as quantum metric spaces) converges to 0. In the process we develop a general…

The Alexander-Hirschowitz theorem says that a general collection of $k$ double points in ${\bf P}^n$ imposes independent conditions on homogeneous polynomials of degree $d$ with a well known list of exceptions. We generalize this theorem to…

We construct a matrix algebra $\Lambda(A,B)$ from two given finite dimensional elementary algebras $A$ and $B$ and give some sufficient conditions on $A$ and $B$ under which the derived Jordan--H\"older property (DJHP) fails for…

We prove that no ball admits a non-harmonic orthogonal basis of exponentials. We use a combinatorial result, originally studied by Erd\H os, which says that the number of distances determined by $n$ points in ${\Bbb R}^d$ is at least $C_d…

The Lorentzian distance formula, conjectured several years ago by Parfionov and Zapatrin, has been recently proved by the second author. In this work we focus on the derivation of an equivalent expression in terms of the geometry of…

We present a method to obtain higher order integrals and polynomial algebras for two-dimensional superintegrable systems from creation and annihilation operators. All potentials with a second and a third order integrals of motion separable…

Multiplication of polynomials is among key operations in computer algebra which plays important roles in developing techniques for other commonly used polynomial operations such as division, evaluation/interpolation, and factorization. In…

Alexander polynomials of sextics with only simple singularities or sextics of torus type with arbitrary singularities are computed. We show that for ieeducible sextics,there are four possibilities: $(t^2-t+1)^j, j=0,1,2,3$.

We establish homotopy ribbon concordance obstructions coming from the Blanchfield form and Levine-Tristram signatures. Then, as an application of twisted Alexander polynomials, we show that for every knot K with nontrivial Alexander…

The authors present a unified method for calculating the zeros of the classical orthogonal polynomials based upon the electrostatic interpretation and its connection to the energy minimization problem. Examples are given with error…

In this paper, we focus on clarifying the concept of solving equations of degree greater than six using continuous functions or hypergeometric functions and providing another proof of the non-existence of algebraic solutions for equations…

An infinite dimensional algebra, which is useful for deriving exact solutions of the generalized pairing problem, is introduced. A formalism for diagonalizing the corresponding Hamiltonian is also proposed. The theory is illustrated with…

Let $f(x)$ be a polynomial of degree $n \ge 1$ with real coefficients and let $X \ge 2$ and $\delta \ge 0$ be real numbers. Let $\|\cdot\|$ be the distance to the nearest integer. We obtain upper bounds for the number of solutions to the…

We investigate the zeros of polynomial solutions to the differential-difference equation \[ P_{n+1}(x)=A_{n}(x)P_{n}^{\prime}(x)+B_{n}(x)P_{n}(x), n=0,1,... \] where $A_{n}$ and $B_{n}$ are polynomials of degree at most 2 and 1…

We study one-dimensional algebraic families of pairs given by a polynomial with a marked point. We prove an "unlikely intersection" statement for such pairs thereby exhibiting strong rigidity features for these pairs. We infer from this…
