We consider systems of strict multivariate polynomial inequalities over the reals. All polynomial coefficients are parameters ranging over the reals, where for each coefficient we prescribe its sign. We are interested in the existence of…

The ring of dual numbers over a ring $R$ is $R[\alpha] = R[x]/(x^2)$, where $\alpha$ denotes $x+(x^2)$. For any finite commutative ring $R$, we characterize null polynomials and permutation polynomials on $R[\alpha]$ in terms of the…

Let $K$ be a number field with ring of integers $\mathbb{Z}_K$. We prove two asymptotic formulas connected with the distribution of irreducible elements in $\mathbb{Z}_K$. First, we estimate the maximum number of nonassociated irreducibles…

In this article a class of additive invariant positive selfadjoint pseudodifferential unbounded operators on $L^{2}(\mathbb{A}_{f})$, where $\mathbb{A}_{f}$ is the ring of finite ad\'eles of the rational numbers, is considered to state a…

Recently, M. Kompatscher proved that for each finite supernilpotent algebra $\mathbf{A}$ in a congruence modular variety, there is a polynomial time algorithm to solve polynomial equations over this algebra. Let $\mu$ be the maximal arity…

Given a trivially graded polynomial ring $A=K[a_1,\dots,a_m]$ over a field $K$ and a positively graded polynomial ring $P=A[x_1,\dots,x_k]$, we study graded rings $R=P/I$, where $I$ is a homogeneous ideal in $P$ such that $I\cap A = \{0\}$.…

A zero-dimensional polynomial ideal may have a lot of complex zeros. But sometimes, only some of them are needed. In this paper, for a zero-dimensional ideal $I$, we study its complex zeros that locate in another variety $\textbf{V}(J)$…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and let $\mathcal{K} := K(t)$ be the rational function field over $K$. For each $d \ge 2$, we consider the unicritical polynomial $f_d(z) := z^d + t \in \mathcal{K}[z]$, and…

An asymptotic formula is established for the number of rational points of bounded anticanonical height which lie on a certain Zariski open subset of an arbitrary smooth biquadratic hypersurface in sufficiently many variables. The proof uses…

We prove an asymptotic formula for the number of fixed rank matrices with integer coefficients over a number field K/Q and bounded norm. As an application, we derive an approximate Rogers integral formula for discrete sets of module…

Deciding whether or not two polynomials have isomoprhic splitting fields over the rationals is the Field Isomorphism Problem. We consider polynomials of the form $f_n(x) = x^4-nx^3-6x^2+nx+1$ with $n \neq 3$ a positive integer and we let…

Several problems in algebraic geometry and coding theory over finite rings are modeled by systems of algebraic equations. Among these problems, we have the rank decoding problem, which is used in the construction of public-key cryptography.…

In 1960, W. Sierpinski proved that there are infinitely many positive odd numbers $k$, such that for any positive integer $n$, $k\times2^n+1$ is a composite number. Such numbers are called "Sierpinski numbers". In this study, by using…

We use bounds of mixed character sums modulo a prime $p$ to estimate the density of integer points on the hypersurface $$ f_1(x_1) + \ldots + f_n(x_n) =a x_1^{k_1} \ldots x_n^{k_n} $$ for some polynomials $f_i \in {\mathbb Z}[X]$, nonzero…

Let $k\in \mathbb{N}\setminus\{0\}$. For a commutative ring $R$, the ring of dual numbers of $k$ variables over $R$ is the quotient ring $R[x_1,\ldots,x_k]/ I $, where $I$ is the ideal generated by the set $\{x_ix_j\mid i,j=1,\ldots,k\}$.…

To any integer matrix $A$ one can associate a matroid structure consisting of a graph and another integer matrix $A_B$. The connected components of this graph are called bouquets. We prove that bouquets behave well with respect to the…

We derive asymptotic expansions of the Kummer functions $M(a,b,z)$ and $U(a,b+1,z)$ for large positive values of $a$ and $b$, with $z$ fixed. For both functions we consider $b/a\le 1$ and $b/a\ge 1$, with special attention for the case…

We present some new and recent algorithmic results concerning polynomial system solving over various rings. In particular, we present some of the best recent bounds on: (a) the complexity of calculating the complex dimension of an algebraic…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a hypersurface local ring of dimension $d \geq 1$, $N$ a perfect $A$-module and let $I$ be an ideal in $A$ with $\ell(N/IN)$ finite. We show that there is a integer $r_I \geq -1$ (depending only on $I$ and $N$)…
