We propose an efficient algorithm to compute the real roots of a sparse polynomial $f\in\mathbb{R}[x]$ having $k$ non-zero real-valued coefficients. It is assumed that arbitrarily good approximations of the non-zero coefficients are given…

This work is a study of $p$-adic multiple zeta values at roots of unity ($p$MZV$\mu_{N}$'s), the $p$-adic periods of the crystalline pro-unipotent fundamental groupoid of $(\mathbb{P}^{1} - \{0,\mu_{N},\infty\})/ \mathbb{F}_{q}$. The main…

Greene's rational function $\Psi_P({\bf x})$ is a sum of certain rational functions in ${\bf x}=(x_1, \ldots, x_n)$ over the linear extensions of the poset $P$ (which has $n$ elements), which he introduced in his study of the…

In 1922 Ritt described polynomial solutions of the functional equation P(f)=Q(g). In this paper we describe solutions of the equation above in the case when P,Q are polynomials while f,g are allowed to be arbitrary entire functions. In…

We prove, without recourse to the Extended Riemann Hypothesis, that the projection modulo $p$ of any prefixed polynomial with integer coefficients can be completely factored in deterministic polynomial time if $p-1$ has a $(\ln…

Let $K$ be a field, complete with respect to a discrete non-archimedian valuation and let $k$ be the residue field. Consider a system $F$ of $n$ polynomial equations in $K\vars$. Our first result is a reformulation of the classical Hensel's…

We present three new, practical algorithms for polynomials in $\mathbb{Z}[x]$: one to test if a polynomial is cyclotomic, one to determine which cyclotomic polynomials are factors, and one to determine whether the given polynomial is…

We prove that the p-adic Koba-Nielsen type string amplitudes are bona fide integrals. We attach to these amplitudes Igusa-type integrals depending on several complex parameters and show that these integrals admit meromorphic continuations…

Let $x \geq 1$ be a large number, let $f(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ be a prime polynomial of degree $\text{deg}(f)=m$, and let $u\ne \pm 1, v^2$ be a fixed integer. Assuming the Bateman-Horn conjecture, an asymptotic counting function for the…

This paper describes a systematic method of numerically computing and indexing fixed points of $z^{z^w}$ for fixed $z$ or equivalently, the roots of $T_2(w;z)=w-z^{z^w}$. The roots are computed using a modified version of fixed-point…

Let $f \in { \mathbb R} ( t) [x]$ be given by $ f(t, x) = x^n + t \cdot g(x) $ and $\beta_1 < \dots < \beta_m$ the distinct real roots of the discriminant $\Delta_{(f, x)} (t)$ of $f(t, x)$ with respect to $x$. Let $\gamma$ be the number of…

In this paper, we study functions of the roots of a univariate polynomial in which the roots have a given multiplicity structure $\mu$. Traditionally, root functions are studied via the theory of symmetric polynomials; we extend this theory…

We construct the p-adic zeta function for a one-dimensional (as a p-adic Lie extension) non-commutative p-extension of a totally real number field such that the finite part of its Galois group is a pgroup with exponent p. We first calculate…

We explain how to obtain the set of solutions of a multivariate polynomial equation modulo a power of a prime number. These solutions are determined by a tree, called the trunk, which makes it possible to reconstruct all solutions. We apply…

Let $q$ be a prime power, let $\mathbb F_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements and let $\theta$ be a generator of the cyclic group $\mathbb F_q^*$. For each $a\in \mathbb F_q^*$, let $\log_{\theta} a$ be the unique integer $i\in \{1,…

E. Bach, following an idea of T. Itoh, has shown how to build a small set of numbers modulo a prime p such that at least one element of this set is a generator of $\pF{p}$\cite{Bach:1997:sppr,Itoh:2001:PPR}. E. Bach suggests also that at…

Given a function $f$ in a finite field ${\mathbb F}_q$ of $q$ elements, we define the functional graph of $f$ as a directed graph on $q$ nodes labelled by the elements of ${\mathbb F}_q$ where there is an edge from $u$ to $v$ if and only if…

Seminal works by Birch and Ihara gave formulas for the $m$th power moments of the traces of Frobenius endomorphisms of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{F}_{p}$ for primes $p \geq 5$. Recent works by Kaplan and Petrow generalized these results…

By restricting the variables running over various (possibly different) subfields, we introduce the notion of a partial zeta function. We prove that the partial zeta function is rational in an interesting case, generalizing Dwork's well…

Zeta functions of periodic cubical lattices are explicitly derived by computing all the eigenvalues of the adjacency operators and their characteristic polynomials. We introduce cyclotomic-like polynomials to give factorization of the zeta…
