We show that the counts of low degree irreducible factors of a random polynomial $f$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$ with independent but non-uniform coefficients behave like that of a uniform random polynomial, exhibiting a form of universality for…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, $I$ an ideal, $M$ and $N$ finitely generated $R$-modules. Assume $V(I)\cap Supp(M)\cap Supp(N)$ consists of finitely many maximal ideals and let ${\l}(\e^i(N/I^nN,M))$ denote the length of…

Let $f$ be an irreducible polynomial of prime degree $p\geq 5$ over $\QQ$, with precisely $k$ pairs of complex roots. Using a result of Jens H\"{o}chsmann (1999), we show that if $p\geq 4k+1$ then $\Gal(f/\QQ)$ is isomorphic to $A_{p}$ or…

All groups are 2-generator. For any prime-power q, Theorem 1 constructs a solvable matrix group over a quotient of a Laurent polynomial ring. This group is closely related to a group of exponent q as shown in Theorems 2 & 3 . Theorem 4 in…

For each uniformity $k \geq 3$, we construct $k$-uniform linear hypergraphs $G$ with arbitrarily large maximum degree $\Delta$ whose independence polynomial $Z_G$ has a root $\lambda$ with $\lvert\lambda\rvert = O\left(\frac{\log…

Given polynomials $f_1,\ldots,f_n$ in $m$ variables with integral coefficients, we give upper bounds for the number of integral $m$-tuples $\mathbf{u}_1,\ldots, \mathbf{u}_n$ of bounded height such that $f_1(\mathbf{u}_1), \ldots,…

We study singularity of effective $\mathbb{Q}$-divisors on products of projective spaces of multidegree $(1,1...,1).$ This generalizes works of Bath, Musta{\c{t}}{\u{a}} and Walther on singularity of square-free polynomials. We also give a…

Given an inhomogeneous quadratic form $Q_\xi(v)=Q(v+\xi)$ with $Q$ an indefinite $\mathbb{Q}$-isotropic rational ternary form and $\xi\in \mathbb{R}^3$ irrational, we prove an effective lower bound for the number of integer vectors $v\in…

Let $P\in\mathbb Q[t,x]$ be a polynomial in two variables with rational coefficients, and let $G$ be the Galois group of $P$ over the field $\mathbb Q(t)$. It follows from Hilbert's Irreducibility Theorem that for most rational numbers $c$…

Let $V$ be a valuation ring of a global field $K$. We show that for all positive integers $k$ and $1 < n_1 \leq \ldots \leq n_k$ there exists an integer-valued polynomial on $V$, that is, an element of $\text{Int}(V) = \{ f \in K[X] \mid…

We show that there exist absolute constants $\Delta > \delta > 0$ such that, for all $n \geqslant 2$, there exists a polynomial $P$ of degree $n$, with $\pm 1$ coefficients, such that $$\delta\sqrt{n} \leqslant |P(z)| \leqslant…

We prove that the generalised Laguerre polynomials $L_{n}^{(\alpha)}(x)$ with $0\le \al\le 50$ are irreducible except for finitely many pairs $(n, \al)$ and that these exceptions are necessary. In fact it follows from a more general…

Let $F$ be a field of prime characteristic $p$ and let $q$ be a power of $p$. We assume that $F$ contains the finite field of order $q$. A $q$-polynomial $L$ over $F$ is an element of the polynomial ring $F[x]$ with the property that those…

We consider incomplete exponential sums in several variables of the form S(f,n,m) = \frac{1}{2^n} \sum_{x_1 \in \{-1,1\}} ... \sum_{x_n \in \{-1,1\}} x_1 ... x_n e^{2\pi i f(x)/p}, where m>1 is odd and f is a polynomial of degree d with…

We show that if a closed discrete subset $A \subseteq \mathbf{R}^d$ is denser than a certain critical threshold, then $A$ is a Fourier uniqueness set, while if $A$ is sparser, then uniqueness fails and one can prescribe arbitrary values for…

We improve Irving's method of the double-sieve by using the DHR sieve. By extending the upper and lower sieve functions into their respective non-elementary ranges, we are able to make improvements on the previous records on the number of…

Fix $k \geq 6$. We prove that any large enough finite group $G$ contains $k$ elements which span quadratically many triples of the form $(a,b,ab) \in S \times G$, given any dense set $S \subseteq G \times G$. The quadratic bound is…

Noether, Fleischmann and Fogarty proved that if the characteristic of the underlying field does not divide the order $|G|$ of a finite group $G$, then the polynomial invariants of $G$ are generated by polynomials of degrees at most $|G|$.…

The aim of this paper is to derive (by using two operators, representable by a Jacobi matrix) a family of q-orthogonal polynomials, which turn to be dual to alternative q-Charlier polynomials. A discrete orthogonality relation and a…

We obtain quantitative bounds in the polynomial Szemer\'edi theorem of Bergelson and Leibman, provided the polynomials are homogeneous and of the same degree. Such configurations include arithmetic progressions with common difference equal…
