For a root system R, a field K and an invertible element q in K let U be the associated quantum group, defined via Lusztig's divided powers construction. We study the irreducible characters of this algebra with integral (but not necessarily…

It has been a well-known fact since Euclid's time that there exist infinitely many rational primes. Two natural questions arise: In which other rings, sufficiently similar to the integers, are there infinitely many irreducible elements? Is…

For a commutative ring $R$, a polynomial $f\in R[x]$ is called separable if $R[x]/f$ is a separable $R$-algebra. We derive formulae for the number of separable polynomials when $R = \mathbb{Z}/n$, extending a result of L. Carlitz. For…

This is a complement to our paper arXiv:0802.1461. We study irreducibility of spectral determinants of some one-parametric eigenvalue problems in dimension one with polynomial potentials.

The Schinzel hypothesis essentially claims that finitely many irreducible polynomials in one variable over Z simultaneously assume infinitely many prime values unless there is an obvious reason why this is impossible. We prove that under a…

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…

We present a more general proof that cyclotomic polynomials are irreducible over Q and other number fields that meet certain conditions. The proof provides a new perspective that ties together well-known results, as well as some new…

Call a domain $R$ an sQQR-domain if each simple overring of $R$, i.e., each ring of the form $R[u]$ with $u$ in the quotient field of $R$, is an intersection of localizations of $R$. We characterize Pr\"ufer domains as integrally closed…

We count the number of irreducible polynomials in several variables of a given degree over a finite field. The results are expressed in terms of a generating series, an exact formula and an asymptotic approximation. We also consider the…

In this paper we investigate to what extent the results of Z. Wang and D. Daigle on nice derivations of the polynomial ring in three variables over a field k of characteristic zero extend to the polynomial ring over a PID R, containing the…

We study the irreducibility of Wronskian Hermite polynomials labelled by partitions. It is known that these polynomials factor as a power of x times a remainder polynomial. We show that the remainder polynomial is irreducible for the…

Let $q\geqslant 2$ be a fixed prime power. We prove an asymptotic formula for counting the number of monic polynomials that are of degree $n$ and have exactly $k$ irreducible factors over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. We also compare our…

Numerous results on self-reciprocal polynomials over finite fields have been studied. In this paper we generalize some of these to a-self reciprocal polynomials defined in [4]. We consider some properties of the divisibility of a-reciprocal…

We study the coinvariant ring of the complex reflection group $G(r,p,n)$ as a module for the corresponding rational Cherednik algebra $\HH$ and its generalized graded affine Hecke subalgebra $\mathcal{H}$. We construct a basis consisting of…

We prove that a random bivariate polynomial with plus minus 1 coefficients is irreducible with high probability.

We provide an irreducibility test and factoring algorithm (with some qualifications) for formal power series in the unique factorization domain $R[[X]]$, where $R$ is any principal ideal domain. We also classify all integral domains arising…

In this paper, the result of applying iterative univariate resultant constructions to multivariate polynomials is analyzed. We consider the input polynomials as generic polynomials of a given degree and exhibit explicit decompositions into…

We introduce an interesting and rather large class of monoid homomorphisms, on arbitrary integral domain $R$, that we call Dumas valuations. Then we formulate a conjecture addressing the question asking when a polynomial $f\in R[X]$ cannot…

For any infinite field k and any positive integer r, we show constructively that the map sending each polynomial P $\in$ k[x] to its r-th iterate is dominant in various inductive limit topologies on the space of all polynomials.

We generalize the theory of radical factorization from almost Dedekind domain to strongly discrete Pr\"ufer domains; we show that, for a fixed subset $X$ of maximal ideals, the finitely generated ideals with $\mathcal{V}(I)\subseteq X$ have…
