Using the functional interpretation from proof theory, we analyze nonconstructive proofs of several central theorems about polynomial and differential polynomial rings. We extract effective bounds, some of which are new to the literature,…

Grigoriev and Podolskii (2018) have established a tropical analogue of the effective Nullstellensatz, showing that a system of tropical polynomial equations is solvable if and only if a linearized system obtained from a truncated Macaulay…

We investigate $k$-superirreducible polynomials, by which we mean irreducible polynomials that remain irreducible under any polynomial substitution of positive degree at most $k$. Let $\mathbb F$ be a finite field of characteristic $p$. We…

Alon's combinatorial Nullstellensatz (Theorem 1.1 from \cite{Alon1}) is one of the most powerful algebraic tools in combinatorics, with a diverse array of applications. Let $\F$ be a field, $S_1,S_2,..., S_n$ be finite nonempty subsets of…

We show that there is a defining equation of degree at most $\mathsf{poly}(n)$ for the (Zariski closure of the) set of the non-rigid matrices: that is, we show that for every large enough field $\mathbb{F}$, there is a non-zero…

We use recent results about linking the number of zeros on algebraic varieties over $\mathbb{C}$, defined by polynomials with integer coefficients, and on their reductions modulo sufficiently large primes to study congruences with products…

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 $f_1,\dots,f_k \in \mathbb{R}[X]$ be polynomials of degree at most $d$ with $f_1(0)=\dots=f_k(0)=0$. We show that there is an $n<x$ such that $\|f_i(n)\|\ll x^{-1/10.5kd(d-1)+o(1)}$ for all $1\le i\le k$. This improves on an earlier…

We address some questions concerning indecomposable polynomials and their behaviour under specialization. For instance we give a bound on a prime $p$ for the reduction modulo $p$ of an indecomposable polynomial $P(x)\in \Zz[x]$ to remain…

We establish expansion properties for suitably generic polynomials of degree $d$ in $d+1$ variables over finite fields. In particular, we show that if $P\in\mathbb{F}_q[x_1,\ldots,x_{d+1}]$ is a polynomial of degree $d$ coming from an…

Given a polynomial system $\mathcal{F}$ over a finite field $k$ which is not necessarily of dimension zero, we consider the Weil descent $\mathcal{F}'$ of $\mathcal{F}$ over a subfield $k'$. We prove a theorem which relates the last fall…

Let $A$ be the algebra of all $n \times n$ matrices with entries from $\RR[x_1,\ldots,x_d]$ and let $G_1,\ldots,G_m,F \in A$. We will show that $F(a)v=0$ for every $a \in \RR^d$ and $v \in \RR^n$ such that $G_i(a)v=0$ for all $i$ if and…

We prove an analogue of the classical Bateman-Horn conjecture on prime values of polynomials for the ring of polynomials over a large finite field. Namely, given non-associate, irreducible, separable and monic (in the variable $x$)…

Understanding bounds for the effective differential Nullstellensatz is a central problem in differential algebraic geometry. Recently, several bounds have been obtained using Dicksonian and antichains sequences (with a given growth rate).…

We study zeros of polynomials in the multivariate skew polynomial ring $D[x_1,\ldots,x_n; \sigma]$, where $\sigma$ is an automorphism of a division ring $D$. We prove a generalization of Alon's celebrated Combinatorial Nullstellensatz for…

We show that algebraic formulas and constant-depth circuits are closed under taking factors. In other words, we show that if a multivariate polynomial over a field of characteristic zero has a small constant-depth circuit or formula, then…

Let $P_1,\dots,P_m\in\mathbb{Z}[y]$ be any linearly independent polynomials with zero constant term. We show that there exists a $\gamma>0$ such that any subset of $\mathbb{F}_q$ of size at least $q^{1-\gamma}$ contains a nontrivial…

We give a general method for producing various effective Null and Positivstellens\"atze, and getting new Positivstellens\"atze in algebraically closed valued fields and ordered groups. These various effective Nullstellens\"atze produce…

We obtain a polynomial upper bound in the finite-field version of the multidimensional polynomial Szemer\'{e}di theorem for distinct-degree polynomials. That is, if $P_1, ..., P_t$ are nonconstant integer polynomials of distinct degrees and…

In this article we will discuss a new, mostly theoretical, method for solving (zero-dimensional) polynomial systems, which lies in between Gr\"obner basis computations and the heuristic first fall degree assumption and is not based on any…
