A simple way to generate a Boolean function is to take the sign of a real polynomial in $n$ variables. Such Boolean functions are called polynomial threshold functions. How many low-degree polynomial threshold functions are there? The…
The zero sets of harmonic polynomials play a crucial role in the study of the free boundary regularity problem for harmonic measure. In order to understand the fine structure of these free boundaries a detailed study of the singular points…
In this work we develop a novel recursive method for parametrizing the cone of copositive univariate polynomials of any arbitrary degree $d$. This parametrization is surjective, almost injective, and has the easily described domain of…
In this paper we study the topology of three different kinds of spaces associated to polynomial knots of degree at most $d$, for $d\geq2$. We denote these spaces by $\mathcal{O}_d$, $\mathcal{P}_d$ and $\mathcal{Q}_d$. For $d\geq3$, we show…
A topological invariant of a polynomial map $p:X\to B$ from a complex surface containing a curve $C\subset X$ to a one-dimensional base is given by a rational second homology class in the compactification of the moduli space of genus $g$…
We introduce a new class of countably infinite random geometric graphs, whose vertices are points in a metric space, and vertices are adjacent independently with probability p if the metric distance between the vertices is below a given…
We study random, finite-dimensional, ungraded chain complexes over a finite field and show that for a uniformly distributed differential a complex has the smallest possible homology with the highest probability: either zero or…
The purpose of this note is to study asymptotic zero distribution of multivariate random polynomials as their degrees grow. For a smooth weight function with super logarithmic growth at infinity, we consider random linear combinations of…
We give a deterministic algorithm for approximately counting satisfying assignments of a degree-$d$ polynomial threshold function (PTF). Given a degree-$d$ input polynomial $p(x_1,\dots,x_n)$ over $R^n$ and a parameter $\epsilon> 0$, our…
We study a configuration model on bipartite planar maps in which, given $n$ even integers, one samples a planar map with $n$ faces uniformly at random with these face degrees. We prove that when suitably rescaled, such maps always admit…
We investigate the probability that a random polynomial with independent, mean-zero and finite variance coefficients has no real zeros. Specifically, we consider a random polynomial of degree $2n$ with coefficients given by an i.i.d.…
We show that for Gaussian random SU(m+1) polynomials of a large degree N the probability that there are no zeros in the disk of radius r is less than $e^{-c_{1,r} N^{m+1}}$, and is also greater than $e^{-c_{2,r} N^{m+1}}$. Enroute to this…
The probability that a zero of a random real polynomial of increasing degree is real tends to zero. However, passing from polynomials to Laurent polynomials yields a surprising result: the probability that a root is real tends not to zero,…
We revisit extending the Kolmogorov-Smirnov distance between probability distributions to the multidimensional setting and make new arguments about the proper way to approach this generalization. Our proposed formulation maximizes the…
We show that for Gaussian random SU(2)polynomials of a large degree $N$ the probability that there are no zeros in the disk of radius $r$ is less than $e^{-c_{1,r} N^2}$, and is also greater than $e^{-c_{2,r} N^2}$. Enroute to this result,…
We introduce a sequence P_d of monic reciprocal polynomials with integer coefficients having the central coefficients fixed as well as the peripheral coefficients. We prove that the ratio between number of nonunimodular roots of P_d and its…
We obtain a Central Limit Theorem for the normalized number of real roots of a square Kostlan-Shub-Smale random polynomial system of any size as the degree goes to infinity. A study of the asymptotic variance of the number of roots is…
We prove that almost every level set of a Sobolev function in a planar domain consists of points, Jordan curves, or homeomorphic copies of an interval. For monotone Sobolev functions in the plane we have the stronger conclusion that almost…
We study asymptotic zero distribution of random Laurent polynomials whose support are contained in dilates of a fixed integral polytope $P$ as their degree grow. We consider a large class of probability distributions including the ones…
An important theorem by Timofte states that nonnegativity of real $n$-variate symmetric polynomials of degree $d$ can be decided at test sets given by all points with at most $\lfloor\frac{d}{2}\rfloor$ distinct components. However, if the…
