Fix an integer $d\geq 2$. The parameters $c_0\in \bar{\mathbb{Q}}$ for which the unicritical polynomial $f_{d,c}(z)=z^d+c\in \mathbb{C}[z]$ has finite postcritical orbit, also known as Misiurewicz parameters, play a significant role in…

We consider the problem of finding a condition for a univariate polynomial having a given multiplicity structure when the number of distinct roots is given. It is well known that such conditions can be written as conjunctions of several…

For every polynomial f of degree n with no double roots, there is an associated family C(f) of harmonic algebraic curves, fibred over the circle, with at most n-1 singular fibres. We study the combinatorial topology of C(f) in the generic…

Two families $\mathcal{F}$ and $\mathcal{G}$ are called cross-intersecting if for every $F\in \mathcal{F}$ and $G\in \mathcal{G}$, the intersection $F\cap G$ is non-empty. It is significant to determine the maximum sum of sizes of…

We classify the graphs that can occur as the graph of rational preperiodic points of a quadratic polynomial over $\bold Q$, assuming the conjecture that it is impossible to have rational points of period $4$ or higher. In particular, we…

We consider the problem of complex root classification, i.e., finding the conditions on the coefficients of a univariate polynomial for all possible multiplicity structures on its complex roots. It is well known that such conditions can be…

We characterize polynomials having the same set of nonzero cyclic resultants. Generically, for a polynomial $f$ of degree $d$, there are exactly $2^{d-1}$ distinct degree $d$ polynomials with the same set of cyclic resultants as $f$.…

We address the Uniform Boundedness Conjecture of Morton and Silverman in the case of unicritical polynomials, assuming a generalization of the $abc$-conjecture. For unicritical polynomials of degree at least five, we require only the…

Let a and b be algebraic numbers such that exactly one of a and b is an algebraic integer, and let f_t(z):=z^2+t be a family of polynomials parametrized by t. We prove that the set of all algebraic numbers t for which there exist positive…

A set partition is $c$-uniform if every block has size $c$. Two families of $c$-uniform partitions of a finite set are said to be cross $t$-intersecting if two partitions from different families share at least $t$ blocks. In this paper, we…

We call a family of sets intersecting, if any two sets in the family intersect. In this paper we investigate intersecting families $\mathcal{F}$ of $k$-element subsets of $[n]:=\{1,\ldots, n\},$ such that every element of $[n]$ lies in the…

We estimate the average cardinality $\mathcal{V}(\mathcal{A})$ of the value set of a general family $\mathcal{A}$ of monic univariate polynomials of degree $d$ with coefficients in the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{\hskip-0.7mm q}$. We…

We prove that for every path H, and every integer d, there is a polynomial f such that every graph G with chromatic number greater than f(t) either contains H as an induced subgraph, or contains as a subgraph the complete d-partite graph…

For an integer $d \geq 2$, a family $\mathcal{F}$ of sets is $\textit{$d$-wise intersecting}$ if for any distinct sets $A_1,A_2,\dots,A_d \in \mathcal{F}$, $A_1 \cap A_2 \cap \dots \cap A_d \neq \emptyset$, and $\textit{non-trivial}$ if…

Let E be a compact set of C of positive logarithmic capacity. Let us suppose that for every polynomial $P\not=id$ we have $P^{-1}(E)\not=E$. Then for all no constant polynomials f and g such that $f^{-1}(E)=g^{-1}(E)$ we have f=g.

Let $f(x)\in {\mathbb Z}[x]$ be an $N$th degree polynomial that is monic and irreducible over ${\mathbb Q}$. We say that $f(x)$ is {\em monogenic} if $\{1,\theta,\theta^2,\ldots ,\theta^{N-1}\}$ is a basis for the ring of integers of…

Let $f$ be a polynomial of degree $d>6$, with integer coefficients. Then the paucity of non-trivial positive integer solutions to the equation $f(a)+f(b)=f(c)+f(d)$ is established. The corresponding situation for equal sums of three like…

We consider the group M of all polynomial matrices U(z) = U0 + U1*z + U2*z*z +...+Uk*z*...*z, k=0,1,... that satisfy equation U(z)*D*U(z)" = D with the diagonal n*n matrix D=diag{-1,1,1,...1}. Here n > 1, U(z)" = U0" + U1"*z + U2"*z*z +…

This paper establishes an analog of the Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorem to polynomial rings over finite fields, affirmatively answering a conjecture of C. Tompkins. A $k$-uniform family of subsets of a set of finite size $n$ is $l$-intersecting…

We prove that a sumset of a TE subset of (\N) (these sets can be viewed as "aperiodic" sets) with a set of positive upper density intersects a set of values of any polynomial with integer coefficients., i.e. for any (A \subset \N ) a TE…
