We study real univariate polynomials with non-zero coefficients and with all roots real, out of which exactly two positive. The sequence of coefficients of such a polynomial begins with $m$ positive coefficients followed by $n$ negative…
A word $w$ is said to contain the pattern $P$ if there is a way to substitute a nonempty word for each letter in $P$ so that the resulting word is a subword of $w$. Bean, Ehrenfeucht and McNulty and, independently, Zimin characterised the…
We pose 100 new conjectures on representations involving primes or related things, which might interest number theorists and stimulate further research. Below are five typical examples: (i) For any positive integer $n$, there exists…
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…
We show that all sign patterns of the coefficients Hilbert polynomials of standard graded $k$-algebras are possible.
Recently, Chapoton found a $q$-analog of Ehrhart polynomials, which are polynomials in $x$ whose coefficients are rational functions in $q$. Chapoton conjectured the shape of the Newton polygon of the numerator of the $q$-Ehrhart polynomial…
This work represents a systematic computational study of the distribution of the Fourier coefficients of cuspidal Hecke eigenforms of level $\Gamma_0(4)$ and half-integral weights. Based on substantial calculations, the question is raised…
We give a signed puzzle rule to compute Schubert coefficients. The rule is based on a careful analysis of Knutson's recurrence arXiv:math/0306304. We use the rule to prove polynomiality of the sums of Schubert coefficients with bounded…
Quillen proved that, if a Hermitian bihomogeneous polynomial is strictly positive on the unit sphere, then repeated multiplication of the standard sesquilinear form to this polynomial eventually results in a sum of Hermitian squares.…
Motivated by recent research of Wang and Krattenthaler, we use Maple to propose five new ``Borwein-type'' conjectures modulo $3$ and two new ``Borwein-type'' conjectures modulo $5$.
For a system of two measures supported on a starlike set in the complex plane, we study asymptotic properties of associated multiple orthogonal polynomials $Q_{n}$ and their recurrence coefficients. These measures are assumed to form a…
A real square matrix is algebraically positive if there exists a real polynomial $f$ such that $f(A)$ is a positive matrix. In this paper, we give a sufficient condition for a sign pattern matrix to allow algebraic positivity, and give some…
We present a new proof of Witten's conjecture. The proof is based on the analysis of the relationship between intersection indices on moduli spaces of complex curves and Hurwitz numbers enumerating ramified coverings of the 2-sphere.
In his paper Almost-Primes Represented by Quadratic Polynomials, Iwaniec proved that the polynomial n^2 + 1 takes on values with at most two prime factors (counted with multiplicity) infinitely often. He states that "in order to avoid…
About 40 years ago Jonathan and Peter Borwein discovered the series identity $$ \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{(-1)^n(6n)!}{(3n)!(n!)^3} \frac{(A+nB)}{C^{n+1/2}} = \frac{1}{12\pi} $$ where \begin{align*} A&=1657145277365+212175710912\sqrt{61},\cr…
We prove two multivariate $q$-binomial identities conjectured by Bousseau, Brini and van Garrel [Geom. Topol. 28 (2024), 393-496, arXiv:2011.08830] which give generating series for Gromov-Witten invariants of two specific log Calabi-Yau…
We study the joint distribution of values of a pair consisting of a quadratic form $q$ and a linear form $\mathbf l$ over the set of integral vectors, a problem initiated by Dani-Margulis (1989). In the spirit of the celebrated theorem of…
Zaremba's conjecture (1971) states that every positive integer number d can be represented as a denominator of a finite continued fraction b/d = [d1,d2,...,dk], with all partial quotients d1,d2,...,dk being bounded by an absolute constant…
By Descartes' rule of signs, a real degree $d$ polynomial $P$ with all nonvanishing coefficients, with $c$ sign changes and $p$ sign preservations in the sequence of its coefficients ($c+p=d$) has $pos\leq c$ positive and $neg\leq p$…
Bergeron--Ceballos--K\"ustner introduced the $q$-Fibonomial coefficients \( \qfibonom{m+n}{n}\), gave a combinatorial interpretation of the $q$-Fibonomial coefficients via a weighted path-domino tiling model, and conjectured that these…
