Write $\zeta_m(n)$, $1\le m\le n-1$, for the negative zeros of the $n$-th Bell polynomial, ordered in decreasing size. In this paper, we prove the following asymptotic: for a positive integer $m$ we have $$ \lim_{n\to…
Every real hyperbolic form in three variables can be realized as the determinant of a linear net of Hermitian matrices containing a positive definite matrix. Such representations are an algebraic certificate for the hyperbolicity of the…
We prove that a finitely generated group $G$ hyperbolic relative to the collection of finitely generated subgroups H_1,..., H_m has the Rapid Decay property if and only if each H_i, i=1,2,..., m, has the Rapid Decay property.
D. Khavinson and G. Swiatek proved that harmonic polynomials p(z)+q(z), where p is holomorphic, q is antiholomorphic, and deg p = n > 1 = deg q, can have at most 3n-2 complex zeros. We show that this bound is sharp for all n by proving a…
Let $G$ be either a non-elementary (word) hyperbolic group or a large group (both in the sense of Gromov). In this paper we describe several approaches for constructing continuous families of periodic quotients of $G$ with various…
We show how to obtain linear combinations of polynomials in an orthogonal sequence $\{P_n\}_{n\geq 0}$, such as $Q_{n,k}(x)=\sum\limits_{i=0}^k a_{n,i}P_{n-i}(x)$, $a_{n,0}a_{n,k}\neq0$, that characterize quasi-orthogonal polynomials of…
Let $f(x)$ be a monic polynomial in $\dZ[x]$ with no rational roots but with roots in $\dQ_p$ for all $p$, or equivalently, with roots mod $n$ for all $n$. It is known that $f(x)$ cannot be irreducible but can be a product of two or more…
Let $P_1,\dots,P_m\in\mathbb{Z}[y]$ be any linearly independent polynomials with zero constant term. We show that there exists a $\gamma>0$ such that any subset of $\mathbb{F}_q$ of size at least $q^{1-\gamma}$ contains a nontrivial…
The starting point of this paper is the computation of minimal hyperbolic polynomials of duals of cones arising from chordal sparsity patterns. From that, we investigate the relation between ranks of homogeneous cones and their minimal…
In this paper we derive two expressions for the Hurwitz zeta function involving the complete Bell polynomials in the restricted case where q is a positive integer greater than 1. The arguments of the complete Bell polynomials comprise the…
A difference equation analogue of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation is exhibited by developing a theory of the generating function $H(z)$ of Hurwitz polyzeta functions to parallel that of the polylogarithms. By emulating the role of the…
We present a method for proving that Jensen polynomials associated with functions in the $\delta$-Laguerre-P\'olya class have all real roots, and demonstrate how it can be used to construct new functions belonging to the Laguerre-P\'olya…
It is shown that if $f$ or $1/f$ is a real entire function of infinite order of growth, with only real zeros, then $f''+\omega f$ has infinitely many non-real zeros for any $\omega > 0$.
The sequence $\{\,_2\phi_1(q^{-k},q^{b+1};\,q^{-\overline{b}-k+1};\, q, q^{-\overline{b}+1/2} z)\}_{k \geq 0}$ of basic hypergeometric polynomials is known to be orthogonal on the unit circle with respect to the weight function…
This paper presents a new generating function for Hermite polynomials of one variable in the form of $g(x,t)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty }t^{n}H^{e}_{n}(x)$ and reveals its connection with incomplete gamma function.
We prove several statements about arithmetic hyperbolicity of certain blow-up varieties. As a corollary we obtain multiple examples of simply connected quasi-projective varieties that are pseudo-arithmetically hyperbolic. This generalizes…
We study properties of the Potts model partition function $Z(H_m,q,v)$ on $m$'th iterates of Hanoi graphs, $H_m$, and use the results to draw inferences about the $m \to \infty$ limit that yields a self-similar Hanoi fractal, $H_\infty$. We…
Let $G$ be a group that is relatively hyperbolic with respect to a collection of subgroups $\{H_{\lambda}\}_{\lambda\in \Lambda}$. Suppose that $G$ is given by a finite relative presentation $\mathcal{P}$ with respect to this collection. We…
