For any integer n >= 2 and any nonnegative integers r,s with r+2s = n, we give an unconditional construction of infinitely many monic irreducible polynomials of degree n with integer coefficients having squarefree discriminant and exactly r…

We establish the equidistribution of the sequence of the averaged pullbacks of a Dirac measure at any value in $\mathbb{C}\setminus\{0\}$ under the derivatives of the iterations of a polynomials $f\in\mathbb{C}[z]$ of degree more than one…

In this paper we present an unexpected link between the Factorial Conjecture and Furter's Rigidity Conjecture. The Factorial Conjecture in dimension $m$ asserts that if a polynomial $f$ in $m$ variables $X_i$ over $\C$ is such that ${\cal…

This article gives a class of Nullstellens\"atze for noncommutative polynomials. The singularity set of a noncommutative polynomial $f=f(x_1,\dots,x_g)$ is $Z(f)=(Z_n(f))_n$, where $Z_n(f)=\{X \in M_n^g: \det f(X) = 0\}.$ The first main…

Let f(x) be a primitive irreducible polynomial with integer coefficients of degree greater than one. In 1964, Hooley showed that the sequence of normalized roots u/n, where f(u) = 0(n), ordered in the obvious way, is uniformly distributed…

We introduce and carefully study a natural probability measure over the numerical range of a complex matrix $A \in M_n(\C)$. This numerical measure $\mu_A$ can be defined as the law of the random variable $<AX,X> \in \C$ when the vector $X…

Let $f(x)=x^n+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+\dots+a_0$ be an irreducible polynomial with integer coefficients. For a prime $p$ for which $f(x)$ is fully splitting modulo $ p$, we consider $n$ roots $r_i$ of $f(x)\equiv 0\bmod p$ with $0 \le r_1\le\dots\le…

We prove that a random bivariate polynomial with plus minus 1 coefficients is irreducible with high probability.

We generalize an approach from a 1960 paper by Ljunggren, leading to a practical algorithm that determines the set of $N > \operatorname{deg}(c) + \operatorname{deg}(d)$ such that the polynomial $$f_N(x) = x^N c(x^{-1}) + d(x)$$ is…

Let $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ be a finite field with $q$ elements and $\mathbb{F}_{q}[x]$ the ring of polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. Let $l(x), k(x)$ be coprime polynomials in $\mathbb{F}_{q}[x]$ and $\Phi(k)$ the Euler function in…

For any positive integers $n \ge 3$ and $r \ge 1$, we prove that the number of monic irreducible polynomials of degree $n$ over $\mathbb{F}_{2^r}$ in which the coefficients of $T^{n-1}$, $T^{n-2}$ and $T^{n-3}$ are prescribed has period…

Towards a well-known open question in arithmetic dynamics, L. M\'erai, A. Ostafe and I. E. Shparlinski (2023), have shown, for a class of polynomials $f \in \mathbb Z[X]$, which in particular includes all quadratic polynomials, that, under…

In this paper, we concentrate on counting and testing dominant polynomials with integer coefficients. A polynomial is called dominant if it has a simple root whose modulus is strictly greater than the moduli of its remaining roots. In…

We investigate the computational complexity of deciding whether a given univariate integer polynomial p(x) has a factor q(x) satisfying specific additional constraints. When the only constraint imposed on q(x) is to have a degree smaller…

Let $\mu$ be a probability measure with an infinite compact support on $\mathbb{R}$. Let us further assume that $(F_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ is a sequence of orthogonal polynomials for $\mu$ where $(f_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ is a sequence of nonlinear…

In this paper we consider the even monic degree-8 cuboid polynomial $P_{a,u}(t)$ with coprime integers $a\neq u>0$. We prove irreducibility over $\mathbb{Z}$ by excluding all degree-8 splittings. First, any putative $4{+}4$ factorization is…

In this paper, we give error bounds on the number of monic irreducible polynomials $a_0+a_1x+\dots+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+x^n$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of degree $n$ with $(a_0, a_1, \dots, a_{n-1}, 1)$ lying in a fixed affine algebraic…

Quantum cat maps are toy models in quantum chaos associated to hyperbolic symplectic matrices $A\in \operatorname{Sp}(2n,\mathbb{Z})$. The macroscopic limits of sequences of eigenfunctions of a quantum cat map are characterized by…

The Kac polynomial $$f_n(x) = \sum_{i=0}^{n} \xi_i x^i$$ with independent coefficients of variance 1 is one of the most studied models of random polynomials. It is well-known that the empirical measure of the roots converges to the uniform…

The index of a monic irreducible polynomial $f(x)\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$ having a root $\theta$ is the index $[\mathbb{Z}_K:\mathbb{Z}[\theta]]$, where $\mathbb{Z}_K$ is the ring of algebraic integers of the number field $K=\mathbb{Q}(\theta)$.…
