Quantum cat maps are toy models in quantum chaos associated to hyperbolic symplectic matrices $A\in \operatorname{Sp}(2n,\mathbb{Z})$. The macroscopic limits of sequences of eigenfunctions of a quantum cat map are characterized by…

For a regular, compact, polynomially convex circled set K in C^2, we construct a sequence of pairs {P_n,Q_n} of homogeneous polynomials in two variables with deg P_n = deg Q_n = n such that the sets K_n: = {(z,w) \in C^2 : |P_n(z,w)| \leq…

Within the framework of mappings between affine spaces, the notion of $n$-th polarization of a function will lead to an intrinsic characterization of polynomial functions. We prove that the characteristic features of derivations, such as…

Subdifferentials (in the sense of convex analysis) of matrix-valued functions defined on $\mathbb{R}^d$ that are convex with respect to the L\"{o}wner partial order can have a complicated structure and might be very difficult to compute…

We study sums of Dirichlet characters over polynomials in $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ with a prescribed number of irreducible factors. Our main results are explicit formulae for these sums in terms of zeros of Dirichlet L-functions. We also exhibit…

For a set-valued map, we characterize, in terms of its (unconvexified or convexified) graphical derivatives near the point of interest, positively homogeneous maps that are generalized derivatives in the sense of [20]. This result…

We consider a deformation of Kerov character polynomials, linked to Jack symmetric functions. It has been introduced recently by M. Lassalle, who formulated several conjectures on these objects, suggesting some underlying combinatorics. We…

In this paper, we will give suitable conditions on differential polynomials $Q(f)$ such that they take every finite non-zero value infinitely often, where $f$ is a meromorphic function in complex plane. These results are related to Problem…

We show that $C^0$-fine approximation of convex functions by smooth (or real analytic) convex functions on $\R^d$ is possible in general if and only if $d=1$. Nevertheless, for $d\geq 2$ we give a characterization of the class of convex…

We consider a relation between local and global characteristics of a differential algebraic variety. We prove that dimension of tangent space for every regular point of an irreducible differential algebraic variety coincides with dimension…

In this paper we investigate the uniform distribution properties of polynomials in many variables and bounded degree over a fixed finite field F of prime order. Our main result is that a polynomial P : F^n -> F is poorly-distributed only if…

For a convex domain $K$ in the complex plane, the well-known general Bernstein-Markov inequality holds asserting that a polynomial $p$ of degree $n$ must have $||p'|| < c(K) n^2 ||p||$. On the other hand for polynomials in general, $||p'||$…

We classify isoparametric functions on Damek-Ricci spaces which can be written in terms of the standard coordinates $(v,z,t)$ on the half-space model as a polynomial function divided by $t$. Regular level sets of the functions in our…

This expository paper presents elementary proofs of four basic results concerning derivatives of quasi-convex functions. They are combined into a fifth theorem which is simple to apply and adequate in many cases. Along the way we establish…

We consider complex projective schemes $X\subset\Bbb{P}^{r}$ defined by quadratic equations and satisfying a technical hypothesis on the fibres of the rational map associated to the linear system of quadrics defining $X$. Our assumption is…

In this paper we present algorithmic considerations and theoretical results about the relation between the orders of certain groups associated to the components of a polynomial and the order of the group that corresponds to the polynomial,…

We prove that certain classical groups $G\subseteq {\rm GL}(d,\mathbb{R}^d)$ serve to characterize ordinary polynomials in $d$ real variables as elements of finite-dimensional subspaces of $C(\mathbb{R}^d)$ that are invariant by changes of…

We give lower bounds for the degree of the discriminant with respect to y of separable polynomials f in K[x,y] over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Depending on the invariants involved in the lower bound, we give a…

In this paper, we construct some piecewise defined functions, and study their $c$-differential uniformity. As a by-product, we improve upon several prior results. Further, we look at concatenations of functions with low differential…

The level of a function f on an n-dimensional space encloses a region. The volume of a region between two such levels depends on both levels. Fixing one of them the volume becomes a function of the remaining level. We show that if the…
