We introduce and investigate multivariate Tutte polynomials, dichromatic polynomials, subset-corank polynomials, size-corank polynomials, and rank generating polynomials of semimatroids, which generalize the corresponding polynomial…
At present there exist numerous different approaches to results on Toeplitz determinants of the type of Szeg\"o's strong limit theorem. The intention of this paper is to show that Jacobi's theorem on the minors of the inverse matrix remains…
In the setting of the Fock space over the complex plane, Bauer and Lee have recently characterized commutants of Toeplitz operators with radial symbols, under the assumption that symbols have at most polynomial growth at infinity. Their…
Univariate polynomial root-finding is a classical subject, still important for modern computing. Frequently one seeks just the real roots of a polynomial with real coefficients. They can be approximated at a low computational cost if the…
We study the probability that a random polynomial with integer coefficients is reducible when factored over the rational numbers. Using computer-generated data, we investigate a number of different models, including both monic and non-monic…
The Bergelson-Leibman theorem states that if P_1, ..., P_k are polynomials with integer coefficients, then any subset of the integers of positive upper density contains a polynomial configuration x+P_1(m), ..., x+P_k(m), where x,m are…
Counterparts of several classical results of number theory are proven for the ring of polynomials with coefficients in a number field. A theorem of Milnor that determines the Witt ring of a function field is applied to prove an analogue of…
The exponential of an NxN matrix can always be expressed as a matrix polynomial of order N-1. In particular, a general group element for the fundamental representation of SU(N) can be expressed as a matrix polynomial of order N-1 in a…
We develop a theory of formal multivariate polynomials over commutative rings by treating them as ring terms. Our main result is that two ring terms are s-equivalent (when expanded they yield the same standard polynomial) iff they are…
Fix a commutative ring $\mathbf{k}$, two elements $\beta,\alpha\in\mathbf{k}$ and a positive integer $n$. Let $\mathcal{X}$ be the polynomial ring over $\mathbf{k}$ in the $n(n-1)/2$ indeterminates $x_{i,j}$ for all $1\leq i<j\leq n$.…
In this note we prove positivity of Maclaurin coefficients of polynomials written in terms of rising factorials and arbitrary log-concave sequences. These polynomials arise naturally when studying log-concavity of rising factorial series.…
The ring of integer-valued polynomials on an arbitrary integral domain is well-studied. In this paper we initiate and provide motivation for the study of integer-valued polynomials on commutative rings and modules. Several examples are…
Generalization of the Euler polynomials ${{A}_{n}}\left( x \right)={{\left( 1-x \right)}^{n+1}}\sum\nolimits_{m=0}^{\infty }{{{m}^{n}}{{x}^{m}}}$ are the polynomials ${{\alpha }_{n}}\left( x \right)={{\left( 1-x…
We make two observations regarding the invertibility of Keller maps. i.e., polynomial maps for which the determinant of their Jacobian matrix is identically equal to 1. In our first result, we show that if P is a n-dimensional Keller map,…
The theory of standard bases in polynomial rings with coefficients in a ring R with respect to local orderings is developed. R is a commutative Noetherian ring with 1 and we assume that linear equations are solvable in R.
We prove Dirichlet's theorem for polynomial rings: Let F be a pseudo algebraically closed field. Then for all relatively prime polynomials a(X), b(X)\in F[X] and for every sufficiently large positive integer n there exist infinitely many…
Let $R=\mathcal{O}_{\Q(\sqrt{d})}$ for $d<0$, squarefree, $d\neq -1,-3$. We prove Lehmer's conjecture for associated reciprocal polynomials of $R$-matrices; that is, any noncyclotomic $R$-matrix has Mahler measure at least…
We investigate non-unique factorization of polynomials in Z_{p^n}[x] into irreducibles. As a Noetherian ring whose zero-divisors are contained in the Jacobson radical, Z_{p^n}[x] is atomic. We reduce the question of factoring arbitrary…

Let T(x) in k[x] be a monic non-constant polynomial and write R=k[x] / (T) the quotient ring. Consider two bivariate polynomials a(x, y), b(x, y) in R[y]. In a first part, T = p^e is assumed to be the power of an irreducible polynomial p. A…
