Let $\{X_{\mathbf{n}} : \mathbf{n}\in\mathbb{Z}^d\}$ be a weakly dependent stationary field with maxima $M_{A} := \sup\{X_{\mathbf{i}} : \mathbf{i}\in A\}$ for finite $A\subset\mathbb{Z}^d$ and $M_{\mathbf{n}} := \sup\{X_{\mathbf{i}} :…

The celebrated Ore-DeMillo-Lipton-Schwartz-Zippel (ODLSZ) lemma asserts that n-variate non-zero polynomial functions of degree d over a field $\mathbb{F}$ are non-zero over any "grid" $S^n$ for finite subset $S \subseteq \mathbb{F}$, with…

For all simple and finite extension of a valued field, we prove that its defect is the product of the effective degrees of the complete set of key polynomials associated. As a consequence, we obtain a local uniformization theorem for…

We first show that a continuous function f is nonnegative on a closed set $K\subseteq R^n$ if and only if (countably many) moment matrices of some signed measure $d\nu =fd\mu$ with support equal to K, are all positive semidefinite (if $K$…

In this note we aim to give a new, elementary proof of a statement that was first proved by Timofte. It says that a symmetric real polynomial $F$ of degree $d$ in $n$ variables is positive on $\R^n$ (on $\R^{n}_{\geq 0}$) if and only if it…

We present in this paper a geometric theorem which clarifies and extends in several directions work of Brownawell, Kollar and others on the effective Nullstellensatz. To begin with, we work on an arbitrary smooth complex projective variety…

Let $k$ be a field, $V$ a $k$-vector space and $X$ be a subset of $V $. A function $f:X\to k$ is weakly polynomial of degree $\leq a$, if the restriction of $f$ on any affine subspace $L\subset X$ is a polynomial of degree $\leq a$. In this…

In this paper we prove a strong version of the Hilbert Nullstellensatz in the ring $\mathbb H[q_1,\ldots,q_n]$ of slice regular polynomials in several quaternionic variables. Our proof deeply depends on a detailed analysis of the common…

In the present we develop a fragment of the theory of superfields, polynomials and Marshall's quotient in order to obtain for general special groups, a proof of the Arason-Pfister Hauptsatz (APH): "if $\phi \neq \emptyset$ is an anisotropic…

We investigate the structure of polynomials of degree four in many variables over a fixed prime field $\mathbb{F}=\mathbb{F}_{p}$. In 2007, Green and Tao proved that if a polynomial $f:\mathbb{F}^{n}\rightarrow\mathbb{F}$ is poorly…

Let $f,g_1,\dots,g_m$ be polynomials of degree at most $d$ with real coefficients in a vector of variables $x=(x_1,\dots,x_n)$. Assume that $f$ is non-negative on a basic semi-algebraic set $S$ defined by polynomial inequalities $g_j(x)\ge…

A low-degree test is a collection of simple, local rules for checking the proximity of an arbitrary function to a low-degree polynomial. Each rule depends on the function's values at a small number of places. If a function satisfies many…

Nisan and Szegedy (CC 1994) showed that any Boolean function $f:\{0,1\}^n\rightarrow \{0,1\}$ that depends on all its input variables, when represented as a real-valued multivariate polynomial $P(x_1,\ldots,x_n)$, has degree at least $\log…

We evaluate the number of monic polynomials (of arbitrary degree $N$) the zeros of which equal their coefficients when these are allowed to take arbitrary complex values. In the following, we call polynomials with this property {\em…

We study the computational limits of the following general hypothesis testing problem. Let H=H_n be an \emph{arbitrary} undirected graph on n vertices. We study the detection task between a ``null'' Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi random graph G(n,p)…

We prove a low characteristic counterpart to the main result in (Peluse, 2019), establishing power saving bounds for the polynomial Szemer\'{e}di theorem for certain families of polynomials. Namely, we show that if $P_1, \dots, P_m \in…

We study the problem of testing whether a function $f: \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}$ is a polynomial of degree at most $d$ in the \emph{distribution-free} testing model. Here, the distance between functions is measured with respect to an…

Let $V$ be a vector space over a finite field $k$. We give a condition on a subset $A \subset V$ that allows for a local criterion for checking when a function $f:A \to k$ is a restriction of a polynomial function of degree $<m$ on $V$. In…

We upper bound the number of common zeros over a finite grid of multivariate polynomials and an arbitrary finite collection of their consecutive Hasse derivatives (in a coordinate-wise sense). To that end, we make use of the tool from…

The determinantal complexity of a polynomial $P \in \mathbb{F}[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ over a field $\mathbb{F}$ is the dimension of the smallest matrix $M$ whose entries are affine functions in $\mathbb{F}[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ such that $P =…
