Let $n\geq 2$ be an integer. Let $\phi(x)$ belonging to $\mathbb{Z}[x]$ be a monic polynomial which is irreducible modulo all primes less than or equal to $n$. Let $a_0(x), a_1(x), \dots, a_{n-1}(x)$ belonging to $\mathbb{Z}[x]$ be…

Richard G. Swan proved in 1962 that trinomials x^{8k} + x^m + 1 with 8k > m have an even number of irreducible factors, and so cannot be irreducible. In fact, he found the parity of the number of irreducible factors for any square-free…

We prove that the generalised Laguerre polynomials $L_{n}^{(\alpha)}(x)$ with $0\le \al\le 50$ are irreducible except for finitely many pairs $(n, \al)$ and that these exceptions are necessary. In fact it follows from a more general…

Rational solutions for a $q$-difference analogue of the Painlev\'e III equation are considered. A Determinant formula of Jacobi-Trudi type for the solutions is constructed.

The main purpose of this short note, on the one hand, to is rigorize some part of the proof of Theorem 1.3 in [11] in a simple way, and on the other hand, to give an alternative argument from local inequalities to global ones.

We study the polynomials $x^n + (1-x)^n + a^n, a \in\mathbb{Q}$, whose rational roots would yield counterexamples to Fermat's Last Theorem. We investigate their factorization over $\mathbb{Q}$. In the case $a \notin \{0, \pm 1\}$, we ask…

The Jacobian Conjecture states that any locally invertible polynomial system in C^n is globally invertible with polynomial inverse. C. W. Bass et al. (1982) proved a reduction theorem stating that the conjecture is true for any degree of…

In this article, we propose a few sufficient conditions on polynomials having integer coefficients all of whose zeros lie outside a closed disc centered at the origin in the complex plane and deduce the irreducibility over the ring of…

We prove that an inductive limit of aperiodic noncommutative Cartan inclusions is a noncommutative Cartan inclusion whenever the connecting maps are injective, preserve normalisers and entwine conditional expectations. We show that under…

An irreducible element of a commutative ring is absolutely irreducible if no power of it has more than one (essentially different) factorization into irreducibles. In the case of the ring $\text{Int}(D)=\{f\in K[x]\mid f(D)\subseteq D\}$,…

We provide a short and self-contained argument for the existence of Cartan-Iwahori-Matsumoto decompositions for reductive groups.

We verify that $\liminf_{q\to\infty} q\cdot |q|_p\cdot ||qx||<\epsilon$ for all real $x$, small primes $p$ and relatively small $\epsilon$. This result supports the famous $p$-adic Littlewood conjecture which states that the above lower…

A compactness theorem is proved for a family of K\"{a}hler surfaces with constant scalar curvature and volume bounded from below, diameter bounded from above, Ricci curvature bounded and the signature bounded from below. Furthermore, a…

We discuss various necessary and sufficient conditions for the complete reducibility of a ternary cubic form. In doing so, we prove the claim made in the 19th century that such a form is completely reducible if and only if its Hessian is a…

We give a simple proof of a recently result concerning Hardy $q$-inequalities.

Recently, the authors of Ref.1[arXiv:1004.3100] claimed that they have proven the traditional adiabatic condition is a necessary condition. Here, it is claimed that there are some mistakes and an artificial over-strong constraint in [1],…

We show that the de Sitter quantum breaking bound when applied to QCD exposes the necessity of the axion solution to the strong CP problem. The Peccei-Quinn mechanism emerges as a consistency requirement independent of the naturalness…

We present several approaches on finding necessary and sufficient conditions on $n$ so that $\Phi_k(x^n)$ is irreducible where $\Phi_k$ is the $k$-th cyclotomic polynomial.

We introduce reflection properties of cardinals in which the attributes that reflect are expressible by infinitary formulas whose lengths can be strictly larger than the cardinal under consideration. This kind of generalized reflection…

We give two different simple proofs for the removable singularities of the heat equation in $(\Omega\setminus\{x_0\})\times (0,T)$ with $n\ge 3$. We also give a necessary and sufficient condition for removable singularities of the heat…
