Extension problems for polynomial valuations on different cones of convex functions are investigated. It is shown that for the classes of functions under consideration, the extension problem reduces to a simple geometric obstruction on the…

Following our first article, we continue to investigate ultrametic modules over a ring of twisted polynomials of the form $[K;\vfi]$, where $\vfi$ is a ring endomorphism of $K$. The main motivation comes from the the theory of valued…

In this paper we present characterizations of the sets of key polynomials and abstract key polynomials for a valuation $\mu$ of $K(x)$, in terms of (ultrametric) balls in the algebraic closure $\overline K$ of $K$ with respect to $v$, a…

We show how suitable extensions $(L|K,v)$ of prime degree of valued fields give rise to definable coarsenings of the valuation rings of $L$ and $K$. In the case of Artin-Schreier and Kummer extensions with wild ramification, we can also…

Let $K$ be a large field such that $K[\sqrt{-1}]$ is not algebraically closed and $F/K$ a function field in one variable. Extending techniques and results from earlier work with Becher and Dittmann, we show that every valuation ring on $F$…

Let $K$ be a field equipped with a discrete valuation $v$. In a pioneering work, S. MacLane determined all valuations on $K(x)$ extending $v$. His work was recently reviewed and generalized by M. Vaqui\'e, by using the graded algebra of a…

Let $(K,\nu)$ be an arbitrary valued field with valuation ring $R_{\nu}$ and $L=K(\alpha)$, where $\alpha$ is a root of a monic irreducible polynomial $f\in R_{\nu}[x]$. In this paper, we characterize the integral closedness of…

Let $K/\mathbb{Q}$ be a finite extension. We prove that the minimal height of polynomials of degree $n$ of which all roots are in $K^\times$ increases exponentially in $n$. We determine the implied constant exactly for totally real $K$ and…

In this paper, we extend the theory of minimal limit key polynomials of valuations on the polynomial ring $\kx$. We use the theory of cuts on ordered abelian groups to show that the previous results on bounded sets of key polynomials of…

We provide an irreducibility test in the ring K[[x]][y] whose complexity is quasi-linear with respect to the valuation of the discriminant, assuming the input polynomial F square-free and K a perfect field of characteristic zero or greater…

Given an integral domain $D$ with quotient field $K$, the ring of integer-valued polynomials on D is the subring $\{f (X) \in K[X]: f(D) \subset D\}$ of the polynomial ring $K[X]$. Using the related tools of $t$-closure and associated…

Let $(K,v)$ be a valued field. We review some results of MacLane and Vaqui\'e on extensions of $v$ to valuations on the polynomial ring $K[x]$. We introduce certain MacLane-Vaqui\'e chains of residually transcendental valuations, and we…

Most results on the value sets $V_f$ of polynomials $f \in \mathbb{F}_q[x]$ relate the cardinality $|V_f|$ to the degree of $f$. In particular, the structure of the spectrum of the class of polynomials of a fixed degree $d$ is rather well…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements, where $q$ is a prime power and $n$ be a positive integer. In this paper, we explore the factorization of $f(x^{n})$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$, where $f(x)$ is an irreducible polynomial…

In this paper, we provide the degree distribution of irreducible factors of the composed polynomial $f(L(x))$ over $\mathbb F_q$, where $f(x)\in \mathbb F_q[x]$ is irreducible and $L(x)\in \mathbb F_q[x]$ is a linearized polynomial. We…

The main goal of this paper is to characterize limit key polynomials for a valuation $\nu$ on $K[x]$. We consider the set $\Psi_\alpha$ of key polynomials for $\nu$ of degree $\alpha$. We set $p$ be the exponent characteristic of $\nu$. Our…

We show that for a random polynomial \[ F(X) = \sum_{n=1}^{N} f(n) X^{n-1}, \] where $f(n)$ is a random completely multiplicative function taking values in $\{\pm 1\}$, one has \[ \limsup_{N \to \infty} \mathbb{P}\big[F(X) \text{ is…
