The characteristic polynomial plays an important role in study of hyperplane arrangements. There are several refinements of the characteristic polynomial. One of them is the coboundary polynomial defined by Crapo. Another refinement is the…

For any given polynomial $f$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with degree at most $q-1$, we associate it with a $q\times q$ matrix $A(f)=(a_{ik})$ consisting of coefficients of its powers $(f(x))^k=\sum_{i=0}^{q-1}a_{ik} x^i$ modulo…

In this paper we prove that the PDE $p(D)f=q,$ where $p$ and $q$ are multivariate polynomials, has a solution in the space of polynomials of total degree not exceeding ${n+s},$ where $n$ is the degree of $q$ and $s$ is the zero order of…

We consider the problem of the reconstruction of a Schwarz matrix from exactly one given eigenvalue. This inverse eigenvalue problem leads to the Jacobi orthogonal polynomials~$\{P_k^{(-n,n)}\}_{k=0}^{n-1}$ that can be treated as a discrete…

Let $\F_q$ be a finite field of order $q$ and $P$ be a polynomial in $\F_q[x_1, x_2]$. For a set $A \subset \F_q$, define $P(A):=\{P(x_1, x_2) | x_i \in A \}$. Using certain constructions of expanders, we characterize all polynomials $P$…

We provide upper bounds for the cardinality of the value set of a polynomial map in several variables over a finite field. These bounds generalize earlier bounds for univariate polynomials.

In this paper we prove the generalized Kaplansky conjecture for the Jordan algebras of the type $J_n$ in particular for self adjoint $2\times 2$ matrices over $\R$, over $\C$, $\HH$ and $\Oct$. In fact, we prove that the image of…

In recent years, there has been a lot of progress in obtaining non-trivial bounds for bilinear forms of Kloosterman sums in $\mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z}$ for arbitrary integers $m$. These results have been motivated by a wide variety of…

We introduce the inversion polynomial for Dedekind sums $f_b(x)=\sum x^{\operatorname{inv}(a,b)}$ to study the number of $s(a,b)$ which have the same value for given $b$. We prove several properties of this polynomial and present some…

A polynomial with coefficients in the ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_{K}$ of a global field $K$ is called intersective if it has a root modulo every finite-indexed subgroup of $\mathcal{O}_{K}$. We prove two criteria for a polynomial…
