We design a recursive algorithm to compute the partition function of the Ising model, summed over cubic maps with fixed size and genus. The algorithm runs in polynomial time, which is much faster than methods based on a Tutte-like, or…

In 1923 Schur considered the following problem. Let f(X) be a polynomial with integer coefficients that induces a bijection on the residue fields Z/pZ for infinitely many primes p. His conjecture, that such polynomials are compositions of…

For one variable rational function $\phi\in K(z)$ over a field $K$, we can define a discrete dynamical system by regarding $\phi$ as a self morphism of $\mathbb{P}_{K}^{1}$. Hatjispyros and Vivaldi defined a dynamical zeta function for this…

Let $R$ be a finite non-commutative ring with $1\ne 0$. By a polynomial function on $R$, we mean a function $F\colon R\longrightarrow R$ induced by a polynomial $f=\sum\limits_{i=0}^{n}a_ix^i\in R[x]$ via right substitution of the variable…

We prove the local motivic monodromy conjecture for singularities that are nondegenerate with respect to a simplicial Newton polyhedron. It follows that all poles of the local topological zeta functions of such singularities correspond to…

It is well-known that for each fixed $n$ and $e$, the number of subgroups of index $p^e$ in $\mathbb{Z}^n$ is a polynomial in $p$. Is this true for \emph{subrings} in $\mathbb{Z}^n$ of index $p^e$? Let $f_n(k)$ denote the number of subrings…

We discuss whether finiteness properties of a profinite group $G$ can be deduced from the probabilistic zeta function $P_G(s)$. In particular we prove that if $P_G(s)$ is rational and all but finitely many nonabelian composition factors of…

One mentions in a lot of papers that the poles of Igusa's p-adic zeta function determine the asymptotic behavior of the number of solutions of polynomial congruences. However, no publication clarifies this connection precisely. We try to…

In this paper, we study a family of single variable integral representations for some products of $\zeta(2n+1)$, where $\zeta(z)$ is Riemann zeta function and $n$ is positive integer. Such representation involves the integral…

Presburger arithmetic is the first-order theory of the natural numbers with addition (but no multiplication). We characterize sets that can be defined by a Presburger formula as exactly the sets whose characteristic functions can be…

Let $C$ be a projective smooth connected curve over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, let $F$ be its field of functions, let $C_0$ be a dense open subset of $C$. Let $X$ be a projective flat morphism to $C$ whose generic…

We introduce motivic zeta functions for matroids. These zeta functions are defined as sums over the lattice points of Bergman fans, and in the realizable case, they coincide with the motivic Igusa zeta functions of hyperplane arrangements.…

We introduce an algorithm to compute the functions belonging to a suitable set ${\mathscr F}$ defined as follows: $f\in {\mathscr F}$ means that $f(s,x)$, $s\in A\subset {\mathbb R}$ being fixed and $x>0$, has a power series expansion…

Given a function f: [a,b] -> R, if f(a) < 0 and f(b)> 0 and f is continuous, the Intermediate Value Theorem implies that f has a root in [a,b]. Moreover, given a value-oracle for f, an approximate root of f can be computed using the…

Let $x\geq 1$ be a large number, and let $1 \leq a <q $ be integers such that $\gcd(a,q)=1$ and $q=O(\log^c)$ with $c>0$ constant. This note proves that the counting function for the number of primes $p \in \{p=qn+a: n \geq1 \}$ with a…

Let $p>3$ be a prime. Gauss first introduced the polynomial $S_p(x)=\prod_{c}(x-\zeta_p^c),$ where $0<c<p$ and $c$ varies over all quadratic residues modulo $p$ and $\zeta_p=e^{2\pi i/p}$. Later Dirichlet investigated this polynomial and…
