The independence polynomial of a graph $G$ is \[I(G,x)=\sum\limits_{k\ge 0}i_k(G)x^k,\] where $i_k(G)$ denotes the number of independent sets of $G$ of size $k$ (note that $i_0(G)=1$). In this paper we show a new method to prove…

Already for bivariate tropical polynomials, factorization is an NP-Complete problem. In this paper, we give an efficient algorithm for factorization and rational factorization of a rich class of tropical polynomials in $n$ variables.…

We examine "partition zeta functions" analogous to the Riemann zeta function but summed over subsets of integer partitions. We prove an explicit formula for a family of partition zeta functions already shown to have nice properties -- those…

We present a general and effective algebraic framework for enumerating finite-length quotients of a torsion-free sheaf of arbitrary rank (the Quot zeta function) and finite-length coherent sheaves (the Coh zeta function) over reduced…

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 $f$ be a polynomial of degree $d>1$ in $n$ variables over $\mathbb{Z}$. Let $f_d$ be the homogeneous part of degree $d$ of $f$ and $s$ be the dimension of the critical locus of $f_d$. In this paper, we prove Igusa's conjecture for…

In this article, we introduce a systematic new method to investigate the conjectural p-adic meromorphic continuation of Professor Bernard Dwork's unit root zeta function attached to an ordinary family of algebraic varieties defined over a…

Fix an odd prime $p$. If $r$ is a positive integer and $f$ a polynomial with coefficients in $\mathbb{F}_{p^r}$, let $P_{p,r}(f)$ be the proportion of $\mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{F}_{p^r})$ that is periodic with respect to $f$. We show that as…

Let $p$ be a prime, $k$ a positive integer and let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field of $q=p^k$ elements. Let $f(x)$ be a polynomial over $\mathbb F_q$ and $a\in\mathbb F_q$. We denote by $N_{s}(f,a)$ the number of zeros of…

We consider a certain linear combination $S(\mathbf{s},\mathbf{y};I;\Delta)$ of zeta-functions of root systems, where $\Delta$ is a root system of rank $r$ and $I\subset\{1,2,\ldots,r\}$. Showing two different expressions of…

We develop a meta-algorithm that, given a polynomial (in one or more variables), and a prime p, produces a fast (logarithmic time) algorithm that takes a positive integer n and outputs the number of times each residue class modulo p appears…

Suppose $q$ is a prime power and $f\in\mathbb{F}_q[x]$ is a univariate polynomial with exactly $t$ monomial terms and degree $<q-1$. To establish a finite field analogue of Descartes' Rule, Bi, Cheng, and Rojas (2013) proved an upper bound…

Given a finite abelian $p$-group $F$, we prove an efficient recursive formula for $\sigma_a(F)=\sum_{\substack{H\leq F}}|H|^a$ where $H$ ranges over the subgroups of $F$. We infer from this formula that the $p$-component of the…

For a nonzero ideal I of C[x_1,...,x_n], with 0 in supp I, a generalization of a conjecture of Igusa - Denef - Loeser predicts that every pole of its topological zeta function is a root of its Bernstein-Sato polynomial. However, typically…

Let $G$ be a profinite group. A strongly admissible smooth representation $\rho$ of $G$ over $\mathbb{C}$ decomposes as a direct sum $\rho \cong \bigoplus_{\pi \in \mathrm{Irr}(G)} m_\pi(\rho) \, \pi$ of irreducible representations with…

Curves over finite fields are of great importance in cryptography and coding theory. Through studying their zeta-functions, we would be able to find out vital arithmetic and geometric information about them and their Jacobians, including…

In multicentric calculus one takes a polynomial $p$ with distinct roots as a new variable and represents complex valued functions by $\mathbb C^d$-valued functions, where $d$ is the degree of $p$. An application is e.g. the possibility to…

We consider the generalised root identities introduced in [1] for simple functions, and also for \Gamma(z+1) and \zeta(s). In this paper, unlike [1], we focus on the case of noninteger \mu. For the simplest function f(z)=z, and hence for…

Let K be a p-adic field. We explore Igusa's p-adic zeta function, which is associated to a K-analytic function on an open and compact subset of K^n. First we deduce a formula for an important coefficient in the Laurent series of this…
