As defined by W. Thurston, the core entropy of a polynomial is the entropy of the restriction to its Hubbard tree. For each d >= 2, we study the core entropy as a function on the parameter space of polynomials of degree d, and prove it…

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…

Let K be F_q((T)), or more generally any field of characteristic p equipped with a valuation having a finite residue field of q elements. Then a polynomial f(x) in K[x] having k+1 nonzero coefficients has at most q^k distinct zeros in K. We…

This paper studies so-called "null polynomials modulo m", i.e., polynomials with integer coefficients that satisfy f(x)=0 (mod m) for any integer x. The study on null polynomials is helpful to reduce congruences of higher degrees modulo m…

Consider a polynomial of large degree n whose coefficients are independent, identically distributed, nondegenerate random variables having zero mean and finite moments of all orders. We show that such a polynomial has exactly k real zeros…

For all polynomials $f$ with ${\rm deg}(f)\ge2$ that have a connected filled Julia set $K$, we introduce a new quantity $h_{\rm GCE}(f)$, such that $h_{\rm GCE}\left(f^n\right)=n\cdot h_{\rm GCE}(f)$ for all $n\ge1$ and $h_{\rm…

Several years ago, Aziz and Zargar, while considering some questions related to Sendov's conjecture, solved a problem posed by Brown (see [1,2]), showing that any complex polynomial of degree $n$ with a single zero at $z=0$ does not have…

We give sufficient conditions under which a polyanalytic polynomial of degree $n$ has (i) at least one zero, and (ii) finitely many zeros. In the latter case, we prove that the number of zeros is bounded by $n^2$. We then show that for all…

Polynomials whose coefficients, roots, and critical points lie in the ring of rational integers are called nice polynomials. In this paper, we present a general method for investigating such polynomials. We extend our results from the ring…

We consider integer recurrences of the form a_n = f(a_{n-1}), where f is a quadratic polynomial with integer coefficients. We show, for four infinite families of f, that the set of primes dividing at least one term of such a sequence must…

Degree-$d$-invariant laminations of the disk model the dynamical action of a degree-$d$ polynomial; such a lamination defines an equivalence relation on $S^1$ that corresponds to dynamical rays of an associated polynomial landing at the…

A polynomial $f$ of degree $d$ and coefficients in an algebraically closed field $k$ defines a morphism $f:\mathbb{P}^1_k\longrightarrow\mathbb{P}^1_k$ which, if char$(k)\nmid d$, is unramified outside a finite set of points in the image:…

We characterize polynomials having the same set of nonzero cyclic resultants. Generically, for a polynomial $f$ of degree $d$, there are exactly $2^{d-1}$ distinct degree $d$ polynomials with the same set of cyclic resultants as $f$.…

The relationship between a polynomial's zeros and factors is well known. If a is a zero of f(x) then (x-a) is a factor of f(x). In this paper, we generalize this idea to polynomials of two variables and with real coefficients. We consider…

We find a formula, in terms of n, d and p, for the value of the F-pure threshold for the generic homogeneous polynomial of degree d in n variables over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. We also show that, in every…

In this paper, we give some results on closed polynomials and factorially closed polynomial in $n$ variables. In particular, we give a characterization of factorially closed polynomials in $n$ variables over an algebraically closed field…

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…

The problem "A general characterization of uniqueness polynomial for non-critically injective polynomials" has been remained open since the last two decades. In this paper, we explore this open problem. To this end, we initiate a new…

We study the structure of the Fourier coefficients of low degree multivariate polynomials over finite fields. We consider three properties: (i) the number of nonzero Fourier coefficients; (ii) the sum of the absolute value of the Fourier…

It is known that the weight (that is, the number of nonzero coefficients) of a univariate polynomial over a field of characteristic zero is larger than the multiplicity of any of its nonzero roots. We extend this result to an appropriate…
