Cyclotomic polynomials play an important role in several areas of mathematics and their study has a very long history, which goes back at least to Gauss (1801). In particular, the properties of their coefficients have been intensively…

Let $p(z)=a_0+a_1z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+\cdots+a_nz^n$ be a polynomial of degree $n$ having no zeros in the unit disk. ~Then it is well known that for $R\geq 1,$ $\displaystyle{\max_{|z|=R}|p(z)|}\leq…

We derive explicit formulas for integrals of certain symmetric polynomials used in Keiju Sono's multidimensional sieve of $E_2$-numbers, i.e., integers which are products of two distinct primes. We use these computations to produce the…

The height of a polynomial with integer coefficients is the largest coefficient in absolute value. Many papers have been written on the subject of bounding heights of cyclotomic polynomials. One result, due to H. Maier, gives a best…

Let $p>7$ be a prime, let $G=\Z/p\Z$, and let $S_1=\prod_{i=1}^p g_i$ and $S_2=\prod_{i=1}^p h_i$ be two sequences with terms from $G$. Suppose that the maximum multiplicity of a term from either $S_1$ or $S_2$ is at most $\frac{2p+1}{5}$.…

We study the number of real critical points of a cyclotomic polynomial $\Phi_{n}(x)$, that is, the real roots of $\Phi_{n}^{\prime}(x)$. As usual, one can, without losing generality, restrict $n$ to be the product of distinct odd primes,…

We determine the leading order of the maximum of the random potential associated to a two-dimensional Coulomb gas for general $\beta$ and general confinement potential, extending the recent result of Lambert-Lebl\'e-Zeitouni. In the case…

We give an upper bound in O(d ^((n+1)/2)) for the number of critical points of a normal random polynomial with degree d and at most n variables. Using the large deviation principle for the spectral value of large random matrices we obtain…

A polynomial is called self-reciprocal (or palindromic) if the sequence of its coefficients is palindromic. In this paper we obtain improved error bounds for the number of irreducible polynomials and self-reciprocal irreducible monic…

We show that large gaps between smooth numbers are infrequent. The key new tool is a novel mean value bound for a special type of Dirichlet polynomial.

We present a new bound on $A = \max_n |a_{pqr}(n)|$, where $a_{pqr}(n)$ are the coefficients of a ternary cyclotomic polynomial. We also prove that two consecutive coefficients of such a polynomial differ by at most one.

Let $p_n$ denote the $n$-th prime, and for any $k \geq 1$ and sufficiently large $X$, define the quantity $$ G_k(X) := \max_{p_{n+k} \leq X} \min( p_{n+1}-p_n, \dots, p_{n+k}-p_{n+k-1} ),$$ which measures the occurrence of chains of $k$…

Taking a combinatorial point of view on cyclotomic polynomials leads to a larger class of polynomials we shall call the inclusion-exclusion polynomials. This gives a more appropriate setting for certain types of questions about the…

We study the difference between the number of facets of the order polytope and the chain polytope of a poset. Hibi and Li classified posets where the gap is exactly zero. We describe the bounds on this gap using the new notion of crossing…
