We study the limiting behavior of the zeros of the Euler polynomials. When linearly scaled, they approach a definite curve in the complex plane related to the Szego curve which governs the behavior of the roots of the Taylor polynomials…

We construct type A partially-symmetric Macdonald polynomials $P_{(\lambda \mid \gamma)}$, where $\lambda \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}^{n-k}$ is a partition and $\gamma \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}^k$ is a composition. These are polynomials which are…

We consider a certain class of multiplicative functions $f: \mathbb N \rightarrow \mathbb C$ and study the distribution of zeros of Dirichlet polynomials $F_N(s)= \sum_{n\le N} f(n)n^{-s}$ corresponding to these functions. We prove that the…

We introduce certain special polynomials in an arbitrary number of indeterminates over a finite field. These polynomials generalize the special polynomials associated to the Goss zeta function and Goss-Dirichlet $L$-functions over the ring…

We investigate the homogeneous symmetric Macdonald polynomials $P_\lambda(\X;q,t)$ for the specialization $t=q^k$. We show an identity relying the polynomials $P_\lambda(\X;q,q^k)$ and $P_\lambda(\frac{1-q}{1-q^k}\X;q,q^k)$. As a…

The Newton polytope $P_f$ of a polynomial $f$ is well known to have a strong impact on its zeros, as in the Kouchnirenko-Bernstein theorem on the number of simultaneous zeros of $m$ polynomials with given Newton polytopes. In this article,…

Let $1<q<2$ and \[ \Lambda(q)={\sum_{k=0}^n a_kq^k\mid a_k\in\{-1,0,1\}, n\ge1}. \] It is well known that if $q$ is not a root of a polynomial with coefficients $0,\pm1$, then $\Lambda(q)$ is dense in $\mathbb{R}$. We give several…

Assuming an integral quadratic polynomial with nonsingular quadratic part has a nontrivial zero on an integer lattice outside of a union of finite-index sublattices, we prove that there exists such a zero of bounded norm and provide an…

Let $p$ be an odd prime, and define $$G_p(x)=\prod_{k=1}^{(p-1)/2}\left(x-e^{2\pi i k^2/p}\right).$$ In this paper we study values of $G_p(x)$ at roots of unity via Galois theory, and confirm some previous conjectures. For example, for any…

We study the effect on the zeros of generating functions of sequences under certain non-linear transformations. Characterizations of P\'olya--Schur type are given of the transformations that preserve the property of having only real and…

We consider the weight distributions of the cosets of weight 2 of the generalized $[q+1,q+2-d,d]_q$ doubly extended Reed-Solomon codes (GDRS) of minimum distance $d\ge5$, over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with $q$ elements. For a GDRS…

We study the repartition of the roots of a random p-adic polynomial in an algebraic closure of Qp.We prove that the mean number of roots generating a fixed finite extension K of Qp depends mostly on the discriminant of K, an extension…

The ring of symmetric functions $\Lambda$, with natural basis given by the Schur functions, arise in many different areas of mathematics. For example, as the cohomology ring of the grassmanian, and as the representation ring of the…

Following both Ernvall-Mets\"{a}nkyl\"{a} and Ellenberg-Jain-Venkatesh, we study the density of the number of zeroes (i.e. the cyclotomic $\lambda$-invariant) for the $p$-adic zeta-function twisted by a Dirichlet character $\chi$ of any…

We examine the non-symmetric Macdonald polynomials $E_\lambda(x;q,t)$ at $q=1$, as well as the more general permuted-basement Macdonald polynomials. When $q=1$, we show that $E_\lambda(x;1,t)$ is symmetric and independent of $t$ whenever…

Let $q$ be a prime power, let $\mathbb F_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements and let $\theta$ be a generator of the cyclic group $\mathbb F_q^*$. For each $a\in \mathbb F_q^*$, let $\log_{\theta} a$ be the unique integer $i\in \{1,…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group over the algebraic closure of $GF(p)$ ($p$ prime), and let $G(q)$ denote a corresponding finite group of Lie type over $GF(q)$, where $q$ is a power of $p$. Let $X$ be an irreducible subvariety of $G^r$…

For $0<\alpha<1$, we study the zeros of the sequence of polynomials $\left\{ P_{m}(z)\right\} _{m=0}^{\infty}$ generated by the reciprocal of $(1-t)^{\alpha}(1-2zt+t^{2})$, expanded as a power series in $t$. Equivalently, this sequence is…

Given a polynomial f(z) = z^d + c over a global field K and a_0 in K, we study the density of prime ideals of K dividing at least one element of the orbit of a_0 under f. The density of such sets for linear polynomials has attracted much…
