We characterize the fixed divisor of a polynomial $f(X)$ in $\mathbb{Z}[X]$ by looking at the contraction of the powers of the maximal ideals of the overring ${\rm Int}(\mathbb{Z})$ containing $f(X)$. Given a prime $p$ and a positive…

We consider the distance to the nearest integer of f(p), where f is a quadratic polynomial with irrational leading coefficient. This distance is very small as a function of p, for infinitely many primes p. We give a 14% improvement in the…

It is shown that, under some mild technical conditions, representations of prime numbers by binary quadratic forms can be computed in polynomial complexity by exploiting Schoof's algorithm, which counts the number of $\mathbb F_q$-points of…

Let $f\colon\mathbb{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{N}_0$ be a multiplicative arithmetic function such that for all primes $p$ and positive integers $\alpha$, $f(p^{\alpha})<p^{\alpha}$ and $f(p)\vert f(p^{\alpha})$. Suppose also that any prime that…

For a fixed prime $p$, the maximum coefficient (in absolute value) $M(p)$ of the cyclotomic polynomial $\Phi_{pqr}(x)$, where $r$ and $q$ are free primes satisfying $r>q>p$ exists. Sister Beiter conjectured in 1968 that $M(p)\le(p+1)/2$. In…

The Mersenne primes are primes which can be written as some prime power of 2 minus 1. These primes were studied from antiquity in that their close connection with perfect numbers and even to present day in that their easiness for primality…

This paper was removed due to an error in the proof (Claim 4.12 as stated is not true). The authors would like to thank Ilya Volkovich for pointing out a counterexample to this paper's main result in positive characteristic: If $F$ is a…

We consider almost-primes of the form $f(p)$ where $f$ is an irreducible polynomial over $\mathbb Z$ and $p$ runs over primes. We improve a result of Richert for polynomials of degree at least $3$. In particular we show that, when the…

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…

Questions concerning small fractional parts of polynomials and pseudo-polynomials have a long history in analytic number theory. In this paper, we improve on earlier work by Madritsch and Tichy. In particular, let $f=P+\phi$ where $P$ is a…

Define the $n$-th fibotomic polynomial to be the product of the monic irredicible factors of the $n$-th Fibonacci polynomial which are not factors of any Fibonacci polynomial of smaller degree. In this paper, we prove a number of properties…

Call a monic integer polynomial exceptional if it has a root modulo all but a finite number of primes, but does not have an integer root. We classify all irreducible monic integer polynomials $h$ for which there is an irreducible monic…

We study some properties of the exponents of the terms appearing in the splitting perfect polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_{p^2}$, where $p$ is a prime number. This generalizes the work of Beard et al. over $\mathbb{F}_p$. Corrected paper.…

Fix m >= 1 and let E be an elliptic curve over Q with complex multiplication. We formulate conjectures on the density of primes p (congruent to one modulo m) for which the pth Fourier coefficient of E is an mth power modulo p; often these…
