Let $\mathcal{R} = \mathbb{K}[x_1, \dots, x_n]$ be a multivariate polynomial ring over a field $\mathbb{K}$ of characteristic 0. Consider $n$ algebraically independent elements $g_1, \dots, g_n$ in $\mathcal{R}$. Let $\mathcal{S}$ denote…
We show that a real homogeneous polynomial f(x,y) with distinct roots and degree d greater or equal than 3 has d real roots if and only if for any (a,b) not equal to (0,0) the polynomial af_x+bf_y has d-1 real roots. This answers to a…
As part of a program to develop $K$-theoretic analogues of combinatorially important polynomials, Monical, Pechenik, and Searles (2021) proved two expansion formulas $\overline{\mathfrak{A}}_a = \sum_b Q_b^a(\beta)\overline{\mathfrak{P}}_b$…
A polynomial $f(x)\in {\mathbb Z}[x]$ of degree $N$ is called \emph{monogenic} if $f(x)$ is irreducible over ${\mathbb Q}$ and $\{1,\theta,\theta^2,\ldots ,\theta^{N-1}\}$ is a basis for the ring of integers of ${\mathbb Q}(\theta)$, where…
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 $\omega > 0$.
We study $\mathbb{R}_{\textrm{an},\exp}$-definable functions $f:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ that take integer values at all sufficiently large positive integers. If $|f(x)|= O\big(2^{(1+10^{-5})x}\big)$, then we find polynomials $P_1, P_2$…
It is known that the elementary symmetric polynomials $e_k(x)$ have the property that if $ x, y \in [0,\infty)^n$ and $e_k(x) \leq e_k(y)$ for all $k$, then $||x||_p \leq ||y||_p$ for all real $0\leq p \leq 1$, and moreover $||x||_p \geq…
We show that for any even positive integer d there exist polynomials x and y with integer coefficients such that deg(x) = 2d, deg(y) = 3d and deg(x^3 - y^2) = d + 5.
Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and let f(x,y) be a nonzero polynomial of K[x,y]. We prove that if the generic element of the family $(f-\lambda)\_{\lambda}$ is a rational polynomial, and if the Jacobian J(f,g)…
Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field with an absolute value. This note gives an elementary proof of the classical result that the roots of a polynomial with coefficients in $K$ are continuous functions of the coefficients of the…
The theorem proved in this note, although elementary, is related to a certain misconception. If $K$ is a field, $f\in K[X]$ is separable and irreducible over $K$, and $g$ is a polynomial dividing $f$, whose coefficients lie in some finite…
We first show that a continuous function f is nonnegative on a closed set $K\subseteq R^n$ if and only if (countably many) moment matrices of some signed measure $d\nu =fd\mu$ with support equal to K, are all positive semidefinite (if $K$…
We determine the set of polynomials $f(x)\in k[x]$, where $k$ is a finite field, such that the local system on $\mathbb G_m^2$ which parametrizes the family of exponential sums $(s,t)\mapsto\sum_{x\in k}\psi(sf(x)+tx)$ has finite monodromy,…
Let $S \subset R$ be an arbitrary subset of a unique factorization domain $R$ and $\K$ be the field of fractions of $R$. The ring of integer-valued polynomials over $S$ is the set $\mathrm{Int}(S,R)= \{ f \in \mathbb{K}[x]: f(a) \in R\…
Given any polynomial with real coefficients, the existence of a real quadratic polynomial factor is proven using only basic real analysis. The aim is to provide an approachable proof to anybody who is familiar with the least upper bound…
Let $\iota:K\hookrightarrow L\cong K(x)$ be a simple transcendental extension of valued fields, where $K$ is equipped with a valuation $\nu$ of rank 1. That is, we assume given a rank 1 valuation $\nu$ of $K$ and its extension $\nu'$ to…
A positive integer k is a length of a polynomial if that polynomial factors into a product of k irreducible polynomials. We find the set of lengths of polynomials of the form x^n in R[x], where (R, m) is an Artinian local ring with m^2 = 0.
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…
Let K be a field and denote by K[t], the polynomial ring with coefficients in K. Set A = K[f1,. .. , fs], with f1,. .. , fs $\in$ K[t]. We give a procedure to calculate the monoid of degrees of the K algebra M = F1A + $\times$ $\times$…
We show two results. First, a refinement of Freiman's theorem: if A is a finite set of integers and |A+A| < K|A|, then A is contained in a multidimensional progression of dimension at most O(K^{7/4} log^3K) and size at most exp(O(K^{7/4}…
