A polynomial f (multivariate over a field) is decomposable if f = g(h) with g univariate of degree at least 2. We determine the dimension (over an algebraically closed field) of the set of decomposables, and an approximation to their number…

Given a valued field $(K,v)$ and an irreducible polynomial $g\in K[x]$, we survey the ideas of Ore, Maclane, Okutsu, Montes, Vaqui\'e and Herrera-Olalla-Mahboub-Spivakovsky, leading (under certain conditions) to an algorithm to find the…

An efficient evaluation method is described for polynomials in finite fields. Its complexity is shown to be lower than that of standard techniques when the degree of the polynomial is large enough. Applications to the syndrome computation…

For a field $E$ of characteristic different from $2$ and cohomological $2$-dimension one, quadratic forms over the rational function field $E(X)$ are studied. A characterisation in terms of polynomials in $E[X]$ is obtained for having that…

Let $\Sigma(f)$ be critical points of a polynomial $f \in \mathbb{K}[x,y]$ in the plane $\mathbb{K}^2$, where $\mathbb{K}$ is $\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$. Our goal is to study the critical point map $\mathfrak{S}_d$, by sending polynomials…

Let K be a number field, and let a be a non-zero element of K. Fix some prime number l. We compute the density of the following set: the primes p of K such that the multiplicative order of the reduction of a modulo p is coprime to l (or,…

We introduce the notion of semi-characteristic polynomial for a semi-linear map of a finite- dimensional vector space over a field of characteristic p. This polynomial has some properties in common with the classical characteristic…

We illustrate some simple ideas that can be used for obtaining a classification of small-dimensional solvable Lie algebras.Using these we obtain the classification of 3 and 4 dimensional solvable Lie algebras (over fields of any…

Polynomials are common algebraic structures, which are often used to approximate functions including probability distributions. This paper proposes to directly define polynomial distributions in order to describe stochastic properties of…

We give a formula and an estimation for the number of irreducible polynomials in two (or more) variables over a finite field.

These are the notes of my lectures at the 1996 European Congress of Mathematicians. {} Polynomials appear in mathematics frequently, and we all know from experience that low degree polynomials are easier to deal with than high degree ones.…

In this paper we characterize, in algebraic and geometric terms, when a graded vanishing ideal is generated by binomials over any field K.

These notes include introductory material on the notion of splitting fields for modules over a k-algebra where k is a field.

Properties of 2-adic valuation sequences for general quadratic polynomials with integer coefficients are determined directly from the coefficients. These properties include boundedness or unboundedness, periodicity, and valuations at…

This note presents absolute bounds on the size of the coefficients of the characteristic and minimal polynomials depending on the size of the coefficients of the associated matrix. Moreover, we present algorithms to compute more precise…

Numerous results on self-reciprocal polynomials over finite fields have been studied. In this paper we generalize some of these to a-self reciprocal polynomials defined in [4]. We consider some properties of the divisibility of a-reciprocal…

Refining a constructive combinatorial method due to MacLane and Schilling, we give several criteria for a valued field that guarantee that all of its maximal immediate extensions have infinite transcendence degree. If the value group of the…

We count the number of irreducible polynomials in several variables of a given degree over a finite field. The results are expressed in terms of a generating series, an exact formula and an asymptotic approximation. We also consider the…

We extend the definitions of upper and lower valuations on partially ordered sets, and consider the metrics they induce, in particular the metrics available (or not) based on the logarithms of such valuations. Motivating applications in…

We classify gradings on matrix algebras by a finite abelian group. A grading is called good if all elementary matrices are homogeneous. For cyclic groups, all gradings on a matrix algebra over an algebraically closed field are good. We can…
