After a brief review of existing results on permutation binomials of finite fields, we introduce the notion of equivalence among permutation binomials (PBs) and describe how to bring a PB to its canonical form under equivalence. We then…

This note establishes the full range of $L^p$--$L^q$ Fourier extension estimates for the model $n$-dimensional quadratic submanifold in ${\mathbb R}^{n(n+3)/2}$ parametrized by $\gamma(x_1,\ldots,x_n) := (x_1,\ldots,x_n, (x_i x_j)_{1 \leq i…

We study the existence of non-special divisors of degree $g$ and $g-1$ for algebraic function fields of genus $g\geq 1$ defined over a finite field $\F_q$. In particular, we prove that there always exists an effective non-special divisor of…

We show that the degree of the Alexander polynomial of an irreducible plane algebraic curve with nodes and cusps as the only singularities does not exceed ${5 \over 3}d-2$ where $d$ is the degree of the curve. We also show that the…

Let $E/\mathbb Q$ be an elliptic curve, and denote by $N(p)$ the number of $\mathbb{F}_p$-points of the reduction modulo $p$ of $E$. A conjecture of Koblitz, refined by Zywina, states that the number of primes $p \leq X$ at which $N(p)$ is…

Let $K$ be a number field, $f\in K[x]$ a quadratic polynomial, and $n\in\{1,2,3\}$. We show that if $f$ has a point of period $n$ in every non-archimedean completion of $K$, then $f$ has a point of period $n$ in $K$. For $n\in\{4,5\}$ we…

Here we answer a conjecture by Ron Graham about getting finer upper bounds for van der Waerden numbers in the affirmative, but without the application of double induction or combinatorics as applied to sets of integers that contain some van…

We determine all permutation polynomials among several families of polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_{q^3}$ for arbitrary prime powers $q$. We obtain some new families of permutation polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_{q^3}$ with simple coefficients…

Let $V$ be a valuation ring of a global field $K$. We show that for all positive integers $k$ and $1 < n_1 \leq \ldots \leq n_k$ there exists an integer-valued polynomial on $V$, that is, an element of $\text{Int}(V) = \{ f \in K[X] \mid…

Under mild conditions on $n,p$, we give a lower bound on the number of $n$-variable balanced symmetric polynomials over finite fields $GF(p)$, where $p$ is a prime number. The existence of nonlinear balanced symmetric polynomials is an…

Generalized polynomials are mappings obtained from the conventional polynomials by the use of operations of addition, multiplication and taking the integer part. Extending the classical theorem of H. Weyl on equidistribution of polynomials,…

Some new results on plane F_{q^2}-maximal curves are stated and proved. It is known that the degree d of such curves is upper bounded by q+1 and that d=q+1 if and only if the curve is F_{q^2}-isomorphic to the Hermitian. We show that d\le…

We present a polynomial partitioning theorem for finite sets of points in the real locus of an irreducible complex algebraic variety of codimension at most two. This result generalizes the polynomial partitioning theorem on the Euclidean…

We determine the minimal number of separating invariants for the invariant ring of a matrix group $G < \mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{F}_q)$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. We show that this minimal number can be obtained with invariants of…

We study the problem of placing effective upper bounds for the number of zeros of solutions of Fuchsian systems on the Riemann sphere. The principal result is an explicit (non-uniform) upper bound, polynomially growing on the frontier of…
