Polynomials in a category have been studied as a generalization of the traditional notion in mathematics. Their construction has recently been extended to higher groupoids, as formalized in homotopy type theory, by Finster, Mimram, Lucas…

We study the bispectrality of Jacobi type polynomials, which are eigenfunctions of higher-order differential operators and can be defined by taking suitable linear combinations of a fixed number of consecutive Jacobi polynomials. Jacobi…

In this paper we consider monic polynomials such that their coefficients coincide with their zeros. These polynomials were first introduced by S. Ulam. We combine methods of algebraic geometry and dynamical systems to prove several results.…

In contrast to the univariate case, interpolation with polynomials of a given maximal total degree is not always possible even if the number of interpolation points and the space dimension coincide. Due to that, numerous constructions for…

Let $p(n)$ denote the number of partitions of a natural number $n$. As $ n \to \infty$, the $n$th root of $p(n)$ tends to $1$, which is related to the Cauchy--Hadamard test for power series. Andrews also discovered an elementary proof. Sun…

Let R denote the reals, and let h: R^n --> R be a continuous, piecewise-polynomial function. The Pierce-Birkhoff conjecture (1956) is that any such h is representable in the form sup_i inf_j f_{ij}, for some finite collection of polynomials…

We show that the multipole vector decomposition, recently introduced by Copi et al., is a consequence of Sylvester's theorem, and corresponds to the Maxwell's representation. Analyzing it in terms of harmonic polynomials, we show that this…

We prove a previously conjectured closed form formula for the norm of the Jack polynomials in superspace with respect to a certain scalar product. The proof is mainly combinatorial and relies on the explicit expression in terms of…

Kerov polynomials express the normalized characters of irreducible representations of the symmetric group, evaluated on a cycle, as polynomials in the free cumulants of the associated Young diagram. We present two positivity conjectures for…

We link the study of positive quantum maps, block positive operators, and entanglement witnesses with problems related to multivariate polynomials. For instance, we show how indecomposable block positive operators relate to biquadratic…

We investigate which homogeneous polynomials are determined by their Jacobian ideals, and extend and complete previous results due to J. Carlson and Ph. Griffiths, K. Ueda and M. Yoshinaga, and A. Dimca and E. Sernesi.

Orthogonal polynomials on the real line always satisfy a three-term recurrence relation. The recurrence coefficients determine a tridiagonal semi-infinite matrix (Jacobi matrix) which uniquely characterizes the orthogonal polynomials. We…

The Schinzel Hypothesis is a celebrated conjecture in number theory linking polynomial values and prime numbers. In the same vein we investigate the common divisors of values $P_1(n),\ldots, P_s(n)$ of several polynomials. We deduce this…

Inspired by a recent work of M. Nakasuji, O. Phuksuwan and Y. Yamasaki we combine interpolated multiple zeta values and Schur multiple zeta values into one object, which we call interpolated Schur multiple zeta values. Our main result will…

Let $p_1,p_2,\dots,p_n, a_1,a_2,\dots,a_n \in \N$, $x_1,x_2,\dots,x_n \in \R$, and denote the $k$th periodized Bernoulli polynomial by $\B_k(x)$. We study expressions of the form \[ \sum_{h \bmod{a_k}} \ \prod_{\substack{i=1\\ i\not=k}}^{n}…

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…

We study Jack characters, which are the coefficients of the power-sum expansion of Jack symmetric functions with a suitable normalization. These quantities have been introduced by Lassalle who formulated some challenging conjectures about…

In this article we first compare the set of elements in the socle of an ideal of a polynomial algebra $K[x_1,\ldots,x_d]$ over a field $K$ that are not in the ideal itself and Macaulay's inverse systems of such polynomial algebras in a…

Let $I\supsetneq J$ be two monomial ideals of a polynomial algebra over a field generated in degree $\geq d$, resp. $\geq d+1$ . We study when the Stanley Conjecture holds for $I/J$ using the recent result of \cite{IKM} concerning the…

A seminal result of Agler characterizes the so-called Schur-Agler class of functions on the polydisk in terms of a unitary colligation transfer function representation. We generalize this to the unit ball of the algebra of multipliers for a…
