Suppose that $(K,v_0)$ is a valued field, $f(x)\in K[x]$ is a monic and irreducible polynomial and $(L,v)$ is an extension of valued fields, where $L=K[x]/(f(x))$. Let $A$ be a local domain with quotient field $K$ dominated by the valuation…

Let $V$ be a valuation ring of a global field $K$. We show that for all positive integers $k$ and $1 < n_1 \leq \ldots \leq n_k$ there exists an integer-valued polynomial on $V$, that is, an element of $\text{Int}(V) = \{ f \in K[X] \mid…

A method for generating irreducible polynomials of degree n over the finite field GF(2) is proposed. The irreducible polynomials are found by solving a system of equations that brings the information on the internal properties of the…

This paper investigates the location of the zeros of a sequence of polynomials generated by a rational function with a binomial-type denominator. We show that every member of a two-parameter family consisting of such generating functions…

The main contribution of this paper is to find a representation of the class $\mathcal{F}_d(p)$ of multivariate Bernoulli distributions with the same mean $p$ that allows us to find its generators analytically in any dimension. We map…

Most results on the value sets $V_f$ of polynomials $f \in \mathbb{F}_q[x]$ relate the cardinality $|V_f|$ to the degree of $f$. In particular, the structure of the spectrum of the class of polynomials of a fixed degree $d$ is rather well…

New and old results on closed polynomials, i.e., such polynomials f in K[x_1,...,x_n] that the subalgebra K[f] is integrally closed in K[x_1,...,x_n], are collected. Using some properties of closed polynomials we prove the following…

Let $f(x)\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$ be a nonconstant polynomial. Let $n, k$ and $c$ be integers such that $n\ge 1$ and $k\ge 2$. An integer $a$ is called an $f$-exunit in the ring $\mathbb{Z}_n$ of residue classes modulo $n$ if $\gcd(f(a),n)=1$. In…

We count the number of irreducible polynomials in several variables of a given degree over a finite field. The results are expressed in terms of a generating series, an exact formula and an asymptotic approximation. We also consider the…

Vanishing polynomials are polynomials over a ring which output $0$ for all elements in the ring. In this paper, we study the ideal of vanishing polynomials over specific types of rings, along with the closely related ring of polynomial…

Given a square matrix $A$ with entries in a commutative ring $S$, the ideal of $S[X]$ consisting of polynomials $f$ with $f(A) =0$ is called the null ideal of $A$. Very little is known about null ideals of matrices over general commutative…

An integer-valued multiplicative function $f$ is said to be polynomially-defined if there is a nonconstant separable polynomial $F(T)\in \mathbb{Z}[T]$ with $f(p)=F(p)$ for all primes $p$. We study the distribution in coprime residue…

For a suitable irreducible \textit{base} polynomial $f(x)\in \mathbf{Z}[x]$ of degree $k$, a family of polynomials $F_m(x)$ depending on $f(x)$ is constructed with the properties: (i) there is exactly one irreducible factor $\Phi_{d,f}(x)$…

For every $m\in\mathbb{N}$, we establish the convergence of the averaged distributions of the zeros of the $m$-th order derivatives $(f^n)^{(m)}$ of the iterated polynomials $f^n$ of a polynomial $f\in\mathbb{C}[z]$ of degree $>1$ towards…

Let $\mathscr{R}$ denote the ring of real polynomials on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$. Fix $m\geq 0$, and let $A_{1},\cdots ,A_{M}\in \mathscr{R}$. The $ C^{m}$-closure of $\left( A_{1},\cdots ,A_{M}\right) $, denoted here by $ \left[ A_{1},\cdots…

Let $K$ be a field equipped with a discrete valuation $v$. In a pioneering work, S. MacLane determined all valuations on $K(x)$ extending $v$. His work was recently reviewed and generalized by M. Vaqui\'e, by using the graded algebra of a…

Let $V$ be a finite set of divisorial valuations centered at a 2-dimensional regular local ring $R$. In this paper we study its structure by means of the semigroup of values, $S_V$, and the multi-index graded algebra defined by $V$, $\gr_V…

For any polynomial $P(x)\in\mathbb{Z}[x],$ we study arithmetic dynamical systems generated by $\displaystyle{F_P(n)=\prod_{k\le n}}P(n)(\text{mod}\ p),$ $n\ge 1.$ We apply this to improve the lower bound on the number of distinct quadratic…

Suppose $I$ is an ideal of a polynomial ring over a field, $I\subseteq k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$, and whenever $fg\in I$ with degree $\leq b$, then either $f\in I$ or $g\in I$. When $b$ is sufficiently large, it follows that $I$ is prime.…
