We establish expansion properties for suitably generic polynomials of degree $d$ in $d+1$ variables over finite fields. In particular, we show that if $P\in\mathbb{F}_q[x_1,\ldots,x_{d+1}]$ is a polynomial of degree $d$ coming from an…

Assume that the Riemann hypothesis holds for Dedekind zeta functions. Under this assumption, we prove that a degree $d$ polynomial with random multiplicative $\pm1$ coefficients is irreducible in $\mathbb{Z}[x]$ with probability…

We make progress on a conjecture of Cilleruelo on the growth of the least common multiple of consecutive values of an irreducible polynomial $f$ on the additional hypothesis that the polynomial be even. This strengthens earlier work of…

The Basic Universal Deformation Formula is proven and applied to show that Weyl algebras, which encode Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, are effective deformations of polynomial rings, and that uncertainty is necessary for stability.…

The Weyl group of the Cuntz algebra O_n, with n finite, is investigated. This is (isomorphic to) the group of polynomial automorphisms of O_n, namely those induced by unitaries that can be written as finite sums of words in the canonical…

We obtain sharp estimates for multidimensional generalisations of Vinogradov's mean value theorem for arbitrary translation-dilation invariant systems, achieving constraints on the number of variables approaching those conjectured to be the…

We classify the polynomials with integral coefficients that, when evaluated on a group element of finite order $n$, define a unit in the integral group ring for infinitely many positive integers $n$. We show that this happens if and only if…

We prove a new upper bound for the number of smooth values of a polynomial with integer coefficients. This improves Timofeev's previous result unless the polynomial is a product of linear polynomials with integer coefficients. As an…

We prove that for any Borel probability measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb R^n$ there exists a set $X\subset \mathbb R^n$ of $n+1$ points such that any $n$-variate quadratic polynomial $P$ that is nonnegative on $X$ (i.e. $P(x)\geq 0$, for every $x…

We show that $$\bigg\|\sup_{0 < t < 1} \big|\sum_{n=1}^{N} e^{2\pi i (n(\cdot) + n^2 t)}\big| \bigg\|_{L^{4}([0,1])} \leq C_{\epsilon} N^{3/4 + \epsilon}$$ and discuss some applications to the theory of large values of Weyl sums. This…

We find asymptotic equalities for the exact upper bounds of approximations by Fourier sums of Weyl-Nagy classes $W^r_{\beta,p}, 1\le p\le\infty,$ for rapidly growing exponents of smoothness $r$ $(r/n\rightarrow\infty)$ in the uniform…

A beautiful result of Br\"ocker and Scheiderer on the stability index of basic closed semi-algebraic sets implies, as a very special case, that every $d$-dimensional polyhedron admits a representation as the set of solutions of at most…

We show that there exists $c>0$ such that any subset of $\{1, \dots, N\}$ of density at least $(\log\log{N})^{-c}$ contains a nontrivial progression of the form $x,x+y,x+y^2$. This is the first quantitatively effective version of the…

We study Laurent polynomials in any number of variables that are sums of at most $k$ monomials. We first show that the Mahler measure of such a polynomial is at least $h/2^{k-2}$, where $h$ is the height of the polynomial. Next, restricting…

We establish asymptotic estimates for the least upper bounds of approximations in the uniform metric by Fourier sums of order $n-1$ of classes of $2\pi$-periodic Weyl--Nagy differentiable functions, $W^r_{\beta,p}, 1\le p\le \infty,…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring, $f \in R[X_1,\ldots,X_k]$ a multivariate polynomial, and $G$ a finite subgroup of the group of units of $R$ satisfying a certain constraint, which always holds if $R$ is a field. Then, we evaluate $\sum…

We consider Weil sums of binomials of the form $W_{F,d}(a)=\sum_{x \in F} \psi(x^d-a x)$, where $F$ is a finite field, $\psi\colon F\to {\mathbb C}$ is the canonical additive character, $\gcd(d,|F^\times|)=1$, and $a \in F^\times$. If we…

The multi-variable Schmidt polynomials are defined by $$ S_n^{(r)}(x_0,\ldots,x_n):=\sum_{k=0}^n {n+k \choose 2k}^{r}{2k\choose k} x_k. $$ We prove that, for any positive integers $m$, $n$, $r$, and $\varepsilon=\pm 1$, all the coefficients…

We study Cauchy means of Dirichlet polynomials $$\int_\R \Big|\sum_{n=1}^N \frac{1}{ n^{\s+ ist}} \Big|^{2q} \frac{\dd t}{\pi( t^2+1)}.$$ These integrals were investigated when $q=1,\s= 1, s=1/2 $ by Wilf, using integral operator theory and…
