In this paper, we consider the following $(A, B)$-polynomial $f$ over finite field: $$f(x_0,x_1,\cdots,x_n)=x_0^Ah(x_1,\cdots,x_n)+g(x_1,\cdots,x_n)+P_B(1/x_0),$$ where $h$ is a Deligne polynomial of degree $d$, $g$ is an arbitrary…

We study functions satisfying the composition law $F(xy)+F(x/y)=P(F(x),F(y))$ with a symmetric polynomial combiner $P$. We prove that symmetry together with a quadratic degree bound on $P$ forces a composition law of d'Alembert type. We…

We provide upper bounds on the total number of irreducible factors, and in particular irreducibility criteria for some classes of bivariate polynomials $f(x,y)$ over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{K}$. Our results rely on information on the…

Let $A$ be an associative simple (central) superalgebra over ${\mathbb C}$ and $L$ an invariant linear functional on it (trace). Let $a\mapsto a^t$ be an antiautomorphism of $A$ such that $(a^t)^ t=(-1)^{p(a)}a$, where $p(a)$ is the parity…

We show that if a polynomial $f\in \mathbb{R}[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ is nonnegative on a closed basic semialgebraic set $X=\{x\in\mathbb{R}^n:g_1(x)\ge 0,\ldots,g_r (x)\ge 0\}$, where $g_1,\ldots,g_r\in\mathbb{R}[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$, then $f$ can be…

We introduce a generalization of the product expansion of a finite semigroup. As an application, we provide an alternative proof of the decidability of pointlike sets for pseudovarieties consisting of semigroups whose subgroups all belong…

Let $\mathbb{P}= \{P_1, \cdots, P_{k}\in \mathbb{R}[y]\}$ be a collection of polynomials with distinct degrees and zero constant terms. We proved that there exists $\epsilon=\epsilon(\mathbb{P})>0$ such that, for any compact set $E \subset…

We study the sum-product problem for the planar hypercomplex numbers: the dual numbers and double numbers. These number systems are similar to the complex numbers, but it turns out that they have a very different combinatorial behavior. We…

We extend the proximity technique of Solymosi and Zahl [J. Combin. Theory, Ser. A (2024)] to the setting of trivariate polynomials. In particular, we prove the following result: Let $f(x,y,z)=(x-y)^2+(\varphi(x)-z)^2$, where $\varphi(x)\in…

Given $d,n \in \mathbb{N}$, we write a polynomial $F \in \mathbb{C}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ to be degenerate if there exist $P\in \mathbb{C}[y_1, \dots, y_{n-1}]$ and $m_j = x_1^{v_{j,1}}\dots x_n^{v_{j,n}}$ with $v_{j,1}, \dots, v_{j,n} \in…

A famous theorem of Hilbert from 1888 states that a positive semidefinite (psd) real form is a sum of squares (sos) of real forms if and only if $n=2$ or $d=1$ or $(n,2d)=(3,4)$, where $n$ is the number of variables and $2d$ the degree of…

Using the combinatorics of $\alpha$-unimodal sets, we establish two new results in the theory of quasisymmetric functions. First, we obtain the expansion of the fundamental basis into quasisymmetric power sums. Secondly, we prove that…

Let $U^N$ be a family of $N\times N$ independent Haar unitary random matrices and their adjoints, $Z^N$ a family of deterministic matrices, and $P$ a self-adjoint noncommutative polynomial, i.e. for any $N$, $P(U^N,Z^N)$ is self-adjoint,…

In this work, linearized multivariate skew polynomials over division rings are introduced. Such polynomials are right linear over the corresponding centralizer and generalize linearized polynomial rings over finite fields, group rings or…

We deduce Katz's theorems for $(A,B)$-exponential sums over finite fields using $\ell$-adic cohomology and a theorem of Denef-Loeser, removing the hypothesis that $A+B$ is relatively prime to the characteristic $p$. In some degenerate…

Given a semisimple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, we can represent invariants of tensor products of fundamental representations of the quantum enveloping algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{g})$ using particular directed graphs called webs. In particular…

A generalized polymorphism of a predicate $P \subseteq \{0,1\}^m$ is a tuple of functions $f_1,\dots,f_m\colon \{0,1\}^n \to \{0,1\}$ satisfying the following property: If $x^{(1)},\dots,x^{(m)} \in \{0,1\}^n$ are such that…

We prove a Liouville-type theorem for semilinear parabolic systems of the form $${\partial_t u_i}-\Delta u_i =\sum_{j=1}^{m}\beta_{ij} u_i^ru_j^{r+1}, \quad i=1,2,...,m$$ in the whole space ${\mathbb R}^N\times {\mathbb R}$. Very recently,…
