Let f be a polynomial of degree at least 2 with coefficients in a number field K, let x_0 be a sufficiently general element of K, and let alpha be a root of f. We give precise conditions under which Newton iteration, started at the point…

Let $K$ be a field and $S = K[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ be a polynomial ring over $K$. We discuss the behaviour of the extremal Betti numbers of the class of squarefree strongly stable ideals. More precisely, we give a numerical characterization of…

The famous Descartes' rule of signs from 1637 giving an upper bound on the number of positive roots of a real univariate polynomials in terms of the number of sign changes of its coefficients, has been an indispensable source of inspiration…

We prove that any pair of bivariate trinomials has at most 5 isolated roots in the positive quadrant. The best previous upper bounds independent of the polynomial degrees counted only non-degenerate roots and even then gave much larger…

In this paper, we study the root distribution of some univariate polynomials $W_n(z)$ satisfying a recurrence of order two with linear polynomial coefficients over positive numbers. We discover a sufficient and necessary condition for the…

Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, the non-trivial zeros of $L$-functions lie on the critical line with the real part $1/2$. We find an upper bound of the lowest first zero in families of even cuspidal newforms of prime level…

For each positive integer n greater than or equal to 2, a new approach to expressing real numbers as sequences of nonnegative integers is given. The n=2 case is equivalent to the standard continued fraction algorithm. For n=3, it reduces to…

Let $f(z)=q+\sum_{n\geq 2}a(n)q^n$ be a weight $k$ normalized newform with integer coefficients and trivial residual mod 2 Galois representation. We extend the results of Amir and Hong in \cite{AH} for $k=2$ by ruling out or locating all…

We refine known dimension formulas for spaces of cusp forms of squarefree level, determining the dimension of subspaces generated by newforms both with prescribed global root numbers and with prescribed local signs of Atkin-Lehner…

Let Q be a non-singular quadratic form with integer coefficients. When Q is indefinite we provide new upper bounds for the least non-trivial integral solution to the equation Q=0. When Q is positive definite we provide improved upper bounds…

Let f traverse a sequence of classical holomorphic newforms of fixed weight and increasing squarefree level q tending to infinity. We prove that the pushforward of the mass of f to the modular curve of level 1 equidistributes with respect…

Let K be a field and t>=0. Denote by Bm(t,K) the maximum number of non-zero roots in K, counted with multiplicities, of a non-zero polynomial in K[x] with at most t+1 monomial terms. We prove, using an unified approach based on Vandermonde…

In the first half of the paper, we lay down a classical approach to the study of Saito-Kurokawa (SK) lifts of (Hecke congruence) square-free level, including the allied new-oldform theory. Our treatment of this relies on a novel idea of…

Finite metric trees are known to have strict 1-negative type. In this paper we introduce a new family of inequalities that quantify the extent of the "strictness" of the 1-negative type inequalities for finite metric trees. These…

In the present paper we show that there exist infinitely many consecutive square-free numbers of the form $[\alpha n]$, $[\alpha n]+1$, where $\alpha>1$ is irrational number with bounded partial quotient or irrational algebraic number.

We study rooted planar random trees with a probability distribution which is proportional to a product of weight factors $w_n$ associated to the vertices of the tree and depending only on their individual degrees $n$. We focus on the case…

Every natural number greater than $2$ can be written as the sum of a prime and a square-free number, and recent work has imposed additional divisibility conditions on the square-free number. We overcome limitations in these works to prove…

The paper suggests new topological lower bounds for the number of zeros of closed 1-forms within a given cohomology class. The main new technical tool is the deformation complex, which allows to pass to a singular limit and reduce the…

Let K be a field and S a polynomial ring in a finite number of variables over K. Let F be a finitely generated graded free S-module. We examine some classes of squarefree monomial submodules of F. Hence, we focalize our attention on the…

We study the roots of a random polynomial over the field of $p$-adic numbers. For a random monic polynomial with i.i.d. coefficients in $\mathbb{Z}_p$, we obtain an estimate for the expected number of roots of this polynomial. In…
