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…

It is well known that the expected number of real zeros of a random cosine polynomial $ V_n(x) = \sum_ {j=0} ^{n} a_j \cos (j x) , \ x \in (0,2\pi) $, with the $ a_j $ being standard Gaussian i.i.d. random variables is asymptotically $ 2n /…

This paper provides an estimate of the sum of a homogeneous polynomial $P$ of degree $\nu$ and mean zero over the lattice points inside a sphere of radius $R$. It is proved that $$ \sum_{\mathbf x \in \mathbb Z^3 \atop |\mathbf x| \le R}…
