Stanley's non-negativity theorem is at the heart of many of the results in Ehrhart theory. In this paper, we analyze the root behavior of general polynomials satisfying the conditions of Stanley's theorem and compare this to the known root…

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…

We prove that, on a complete hyperbolic domain D\subset C^q, any Loewner PDE associated with a Herglotz vector field of the form H(z,t)=A(z)+O(|z|^2), where the eigenvalues of A have strictly negative real part, admits a solution given by a…

We show that for every smooth hyperbolic polynomial h there is another hyperbolic polynomial q such that qh has a definite determinantal representation. This is proved by considering sum-of-squares decompositions of certain bilinear forms…

We consider complex Henon maps which are quasi-hyperbolic. We show that a quasi-hyperbolic map is uniformly hyperbolic if and only if there are no tangencies between stable and unstable manifolds.

It is shown that for non-hyperbolic real quadratic polynomials topological and quasisymmetric conjugacy classes are the same. By quasiconformal rigidity, each class has only one representative in the quadratic family, which proves that…

For a given real polynomial $p$ we study the possible number of real roots of a differential polynomial $H_{\varkappa}[p](x) = \varkappa\left(p'(x)\right)^2-p(x)p''(x), \varkappa \in \mathbb{R}.$ In the special case when all real zeros of…

Let $f \in \mathbb{R}[x]$ be a polynomial with real coefficients. We say that $f$ is eventually non-negative if $f^m$ has non-negative coefficients for all sufficiently large $m \in \mathbb{N}$. In this short note, we give a classification…

In this paper, we introduce polytopes ${\mathcal B}_G$ arising from root systems $B_n$ and finite graphs $G$, and study their combinatorial and algebraic properties. In particular, it is shown that ${\mathcal B}_G$ is reflexive if and only…

This paper gives examples of hyperbolic 3-manifolds whose SL(2,C) character varieties have ideal points whose associated roots of unity are not 1 or -1. This answers a question of Cooper, Culler, Gillet, Long, and Shalen as to whether roots…

We present a method for proving that Jensen polynomials associated with functions in the $\delta$-Laguerre-P\'olya class have all real roots, and demonstrate how it can be used to construct new functions belonging to the Laguerre-P\'olya…

It is well known that for $a>4$, the dynamical behaviors of the logistic map $f_a(x)=ax(1-x)$ on the maximal invariant compact set are "simple" which could be clearly explained by the theories of hyperbolic dynamics and symbolic dynamics.…

Every symmetric polynomial p(x)=p(x_1,...,x_g) (with real coefficients) in g noncommuting variables x_1, ..., x_g can be written as a sum and difference of squares of noncommutative polynomials. Let s(p), the negative signature of p, denote…

This paper seeks to further explore the distribution of the real roots of random polynomials with non-centered coefficients. We focus on polynomials where the typical values of the coefficients have power growth and count the average number…

For every bivariate polynomial $p(z_1, z_2)$ of bidegree $(n_1, n_2)$, with $p(0,0)=1$, which has no zeros in the open unit bidisk, we construct a determinantal representation of the form $$p(z_1,z_2)=\det (I - K Z),$$ where $Z$ is an…

It is shown that if two hyperbolic polynomials have a particular factorization into quadratics, then their roots satisfy a power majorization relation whenever key coefficients in their factorizations satisfy a corresponding majorization…

We classify hyperbolic polynomials in two real variables that admit a transitive action on some component of their hyperbolic level sets. Such surfaces are called special homogeneous surfaces, and they are equipped with a natural Riemannian…
