Schur's transforms of a polynomial are used to count its roots in the unit disk. These are generalized them by introducing the sequence of symmetric sub-resultants of two polynomials. Although they do have a determinantal definition, we…

We study nonnegative and sums of squares symmetric (and even symmetric) functions of fixed degree. We can think of these as limit cones of symmetric nonnegative polynomials and symmetric sums of squares of fixed degree as the number of…

Let $L$ be a finite distributive lattice and $\mu : L \to {\mathbb R}^{+}$ a log-supermodular function. For functions $k: L \to {\mathbb R}^{+}$ let $$E_{\mu} (k; q) \defeq \sum_{x\in L} k(x) \mu (x) q^{{\mathrm rank}(x)} \in {\mathbb…

We consider the partial theta function $\theta (q,z):=\sum _{j=0}^{\infty}q^{j(j+1)/2}z^j$, where $(q,z)\in \mathbb{C}^2$, $|q|<1$. We show that for any $0<\delta _0<\delta <1$, there exists $n_0\in \mathbb{N}$ such that for any $q$ with…

We briefly describe what tau-functions in integrable systems are. We then define a collection of tau-functions given as matrix elements for the action of $\widehat{GL_2}$ on two-component Fermionic Fock space. These tau-functions are…

We consider representations of algebraic tori $T_n(F_q)$ over finite fields. We make use of normal elliptic bases to show that, for infinitely many squarefree integers $n$ and infinitely many values of $q$, we can encode $m$ torus elements,…

Let $B(X,Y)$ be a polynomial over $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ which defines an $\mathbb{F}_q$-bilinear form on the vector space $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$, and let $\xi$ be a nonzero element in $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$. In this paper, we consider for which…

Let $F$ be an affine flat group scheme over a commutative ring $R$, and $S$ an $F$-algebra (an $R$-algebra on which $F$ acts). We define an equivariant analogue $Q_F(S)$ of the total ring of fractions $Q(S)$ of $S$. It is the largest…

We consider a certain class of multiplicative functions $f: \mathbb N \rightarrow \mathbb C$. Let $F(s)= \sum_{n=1}^\infty f(n)n^{-s}$ be the associated Dirichlet series and $F_N(s)= \sum_{n\le N} f(n)n^{-s}$ be the truncated Dirichlet…

In this paper, a normality criterion concerning a sequence of meromorphic functions and their differential polynomials is obtained. Precisely, we have proved: Let $\left\{f_j\right\}$ be a sequence of meromorphic functions in the open unit…

Let $\lbrace f_i(x)=s_i \cdot x+t_i \rbrace$ be a self-similar IFS on $\mathbb{R}$ and let $\beta >1$ be a Pisot number. We prove that if $\frac{\log |s_i|}{\log \beta}\notin \mathbb{Q}$ for some $i$ then for every $C^1$ diffeomorphism $g$…

This paper deals with function field analogues of the famous theorem of Landau which gives the asymptotic density of sums of two squares in $\mathbb{Z}$. We define the analogue of a sum of two squares in $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ and estimate the…

We prove that if $A \subset {\Bbb F}_q$ is such that $$|A|>q^{{1/2}+\frac{1}{2d}},$$ then $${\Bbb F}_q^{*} \subset dA^2=A^2+...+A^2 d \text{times},$$ where $$A^2=\{a \cdot a': a,a' \in A\},$$ and where ${\Bbb F}_q^{*}$ denotes the…
