Let $F(X)= \prod_{i=1}^k(a_iX+b_i)$ be a polynomial with $a_i, b_i$ being integers. Suppose the discriminant of $F$ is non-zero and $F$ is admissible. Given any natural number $N$, let $S(F,N)$ denotes those integers less than or equal to…

For any two integers $k,n$, $2\leq k\leq n$, let $f:(\mathbb{C}^*)^n\rightarrow\mathbb{C}^k$ be a generic polynomial map with given Newton polytopes. It is known that points, whose fiber under $f$ has codimension one, form a finite set…

We show that, for generic bihomogeneous polynomials, the determinant of the matrix of moving planes is irreducible.

Let $I\subset \mathbb C[x,y,z]$ be an ideal of height 2 and minimally generated by three homogeneous polynomials of the same degree. If $I$ is a locally complete intersection we give a criterion for $\mathbb C[x,y,z]/I$ to be arithmetically…

We evaluate the number of monic polynomials (of arbitrary degree $N$) the zeros of which equal their coefficients when these are allowed to take arbitrary complex values. In the following, we call polynomials with this property {\em…

This paper has two aims. The first is to study ideals of minors of matrices whose entries are among the variables of a polynomial ring. Specifically, we describe matrices whose ideals of minors of a given size are prime. The main result in…

Let R be a ring and let B be a commutative ring. Let p be a homogeneous multiplicative polynomial law of degree n from R to B. We show that p is essentially a determinant, in the sense that p is obtained from a determinant by left and right…

Let $f=(f_1,\ldots,f_n)$ be a system of $n$ complex homogeneous polynomials in $n$ variables of degree $d$. We call $\lambda\in\mathbb{C}$ an eigenvalue of $f$ if there exists $v\in\mathbb{C}^n\backslash\{0\}$ with $f(v)=\lambda v$,…

Motivated by a work of Knutson, in a recent paper Conca and Varbaro have defined a new class of ideals, namely "Knutson ideals", starting from a polynomial $f$ with squarefree leading term. We will show that the main properties that this…

We introduced previously the generalized characteristic polynomial defined by $P_C(\lambda)={\rm det}\,C(\lambda),$ where $C(\lambda)=C+{\rm diag}\big(\lambda_1,\dots,\lambda_n\big)$ for $C\in {\rm Mat}(n,\mathbb C)$ and…

We give two determinantal representations for a bivariate polynomial. They may be used to compute the zeros of a system of two of these polynomials via the eigenvalues of a two-parameter eigenvalue problem. The first determinantal…

Let $n\in\mathbb{N}$ be fixed, $Q>1$ be a real parameter and $\mathcal{P}_n(Q)$ denote the set of polynomials over $\mathbb{Z}$ of degree $n$ and height at most $Q$. In this paper we investigate the following counting problems regarding…

The aim of this article is to introduce standard bases of ideals in polynomial rings with respect to a class of orderings which are not necessarily semigroup orderings. Our approach generalises the concept of standard bases with respect to…

Let $K$ be the number field determined by a monic irreducible polynomial $f(x)$ with integer coefficients. In previous papers we parameterized the prime ideals of $K$ in terms of certain invariants attached to Newton polygons of higher…

Using the Newton polytope and polyhedron, we study analytic spread and ideal reductions of monomial ideals. We determine a bound for analytic spread based on halfspaces and hyperplanes of the Newton polytope, and we classify basic monomial…

We define the second discriminant $D_2$ of a univariate polynomial $f$ of degree greater than $2$ as the product of the linear forms $2\,r_k-r_i-r_j$ for all triples of roots $r_i, r_k, r_j$ of $f$ with $i<j$ and $j\neq k, k\neq i$. $D_2$…

Some applications of a result, which is proved recently, is considered. We first prove three determinantal identities concerning the binomial coefficient and Stirling numbers of the first and the second kind. We also easily obtain the…

We resolve a conjecture about a class of binomial initial ideals of $I_{2,n}$, the ideal of the Grassmannian, Gr$(2,\mathbb{C}^n$), which are associated to phylogenetic trees. For a weight vector $\omega$ in the tropical Grassmannian,…

We study a family of determinantal ideals whose decompositions encode the structural zeros in conditional independence models with hidden variables. We provide explicit decompositions of these ideals and, for certain subclasses of models,…
