We prove that when n>=5, the Dehn function of SL(n,Z) is at most quartic. The proof involves decomposing a disc in SL(n,R)/SO(n) into a quadratic number of loops in generalized Siegel sets. By mapping these loops into SL(n,Z) and replacing…

In this article, we prove some factorization results for several classes of polynomials having integer coefficients, which in particular yield several classes of irreducible polynomials. Such classes of polynomials are devised by imposing…

Let $q$ be a prime power. We construct stable polynomials of the form $b^{m-1}(x+a)^m+c(x+a)+d$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ for $m=2,3,4$ by Capelli's lemma. When $m=3$ and $q$ is even, we confirm the conjecture of Ahmadi and…

Let $\mathcal{S}$ denote the class of functions $f$ which are analytic and univalent in the unit disk ${\mathbb D}=\{z:|z|<1\}$ and normalized with $f(z)=z+\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} a_n z^n$. Using a method based on Grusky coefficients we study…

We establish an elementary, but rather striking pattern concerning the quartic residues of primes $p$ that are congruent to 5 modulo 8. Let $g$ be a generator of the multiplicative group of $\mathbb Z_p$ and let $M$ be the $4\times 4$…

Fix $d\geq2$ and let $f_{t}(z)=z^{d}+t$ be the family of polynomials parameterized by $t\in\mathbb{C}$. In this article, we will show that there exists a constant $C(d)$ such that for any $a,b\in\mathbb{C}$ with $a^{d}\neq b^{d}$, the…

In this article we show that the motive of an affine quadric {q = 1} determines the respective quadratic form.

This note presents new results for the squarefree value sets of quartic polynomials over the integers.

The functional equation f(p(z))=g(q(z)) is studied, where p,q are polynomials and f,g are trancendental meromorphic functions in C. We find all the pairs p,q for which there exist nonconstant f,g satisfying our equation and there exist no…

A $\textit{square-full}$ number is a positive integer for which all its prime divisors divide itself at least twice. The counting function of square-full integers of the form $f(n)$ for $n\leqslant N$ is denoted by…

Let $k\in\mathbb{N}$. Let $f(x)\in \Bbb{Z}[x]$ be any polynomial such that $f(x)$ and $f(x+1)f(x+2)... f(x+k)$ are coprime in $\mathbb{Q}[x]$. We call $$g_{k,f}(n):=\frac{|f(n)f(n+1)... f(n+k)|}{\text{lcm}(f(n),f(n+1),...,f(n+k))}$$ a Farhi…

Let ${\mathcal A}$ be the class of functions $f$ that are analytic in the unit disk ${\mathbb D}$ and normalized such that $f(z)=z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+\cdots$. Let $0<\lambda\le1$ and \[ {\mathcal U}(\lambda) = \left\{ f\in{\mathcal A}: \left…

We prove that the average error term when counting square-free values of polynomials is the quartic root of the main term.

For univalent and normalized functions $f$ the logarithmic coefficients $\gamma_n(f)$ are determined by the formula $\log(f(z)/z)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}2\gamma_n(f)z^n$. In the paper \cite{Pon} the authors posed the conjecture that a locally…

Let $q$ be a power of $2$. Recently, Tu and Zeng considered trinomials of the form $f(X)=X+aX^{(1/4)q^2(q-1)}+bX^{(3/4)q^2(q-1)}$, where $a,b\in\Bbb F_{q^2}^*$. They proved that $f$ is a permutation polynomial of $\Bbb F_{q^2}$ if…

We investigate univalent functions $f(z)=z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+\ldots$ in the unit disk $\mathbb D$ extendible to $k$-q.c.(=quasiconformal) automorphisms of $\mathbb C$. In particular, we answer a question on estimation of $|a_3|$ raised by…

We consider the question of certifying that a polynomial in ${\mathbb Z}[x]$ or ${\mathbb Q}[x]$ is irreducible. Knowing that a polynomial is irreducible lets us recognise that a quotient ring is actually a field extension (equiv.~that a…

We prove a function field analogue of a conjecture of Schinzel on the factorization of univariate polynomials over the rationals. We derive from it a finiteness theorem for the irreducible factorizations of the bivariate Laurent polynomials…

In this note we shall give conditions which guarantee that $\frac{1-q^b}{1-q^a}{n\brack m}\in\mathbb{Z}[q]$ holds. We shall provide a full characterisation for $\frac{1-q^b}{1-q^a}{ka\brack m}\in\mathbb{Z}[q]$. This unifies a variety of…

Let $f$ and $F$ be two polynomials satisfying $F(x)=u(x)f(x)+v(x)f'(x)$. We characterize the relation between the location and multiplicity of the real zeros of $f$ and $F$, which generalizes and unifies many known results, including the…
