Let $r$ be a prime power and $q=r^m$. For $0\le i\le m-1$, let $f_i\in \mathbb{F}_r[x]$ be $q$-linearized and $a_i\in \mathbb{F}_q$. Assume that $z\in \mathbb{\bar{F}}_r$ satisfies the equation $\sum_{i=0}^{m-1}a_if_i(z)^{r^i}=0$, where…

In this article we study the irreducibility of polynomials of the form $x^n+\epsilon_1 x^m+p^k\epsilon_2$, $p$ being a prime number. We will show that they are irreducible for $m=1$. We have also provided the cyclotomic factors and…

Let $p$ be a prime, $q=p^n$, and $D \subset \mathbb{F}_q^*$. A celebrated result of McConnel states that if $D$ is a proper subgroup of $\mathbb{F}_q^*$, and $f:\mathbb{F}_q \to \mathbb{F}_q$ is a function such that $(f(x)-f(y))/(x-y) \in…

We consider the issue of when the L-polynomial of one curve over $\F_q$ divides the L-polynomial of another curve. We prove a theorem which shows that divisibility follows from a hypothesis that two curves have the same number of points…

In this short note, we prove several new congruences for the overcubic partition triples function, using both elementary techniques and the theory of modular forms. These extend the recent list of such congruences given by Nayaka,…

A number of authors have proven explicit versions of Lehmer's conjecture for polynomials whose coefficients are all congruent to 1 modulo m. We prove a similar result for polynomials f(X) that are divisible in (Z/mZ)[X] by a polynomial of…

We find a combinatorial setting for the coefficients of the Boros-Moll polynomials $P_m(a)$ in terms of partially 2-colored permutations. Using this model, we give a combinatorial proof of a recurrence relation on the coefficients of…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field of $q$ elements. Then a \emph{permutation polynomial} (PP) of $\mathbb{F}_q$ is a polynomial $f \in \mathbb{F}_q[x]$ such that the associated function $c \mapsto f(c)$ is a permutation of the elements…

Transformation formulas for four-parameter refinements of the q-trinomial coefficients are proven. The iterative nature of these transformations allows for the easy derivation of several infinite series of q-trinomial identities, and can be…

In this paper, we study the non trivial idempotents of the $2 \times 2$ matrix ring over the polynomial ring $\mathbb{Z}_{pqr}[x]$ for distinct primes $p, q $ and $r$ greater than $3$. We have classified all the idempotents of this matrix…

The ring of dual numbers over a ring $R$ is $R[\alpha] = R[x]/(x^2)$, where $\alpha$ denotes $x+(x^2)$. For any finite commutative ring $R$, we characterize null polynomials and permutation polynomials on $R[\alpha]$ in terms of the…

It is shown that the polynomial \[p(t) = \text{Tr}[(A+tB)^m]\] has positive coefficients when $m = 6$ and $A$ and $B$ are any two 3-by-3 complex Hermitian positive definite matrices. This case is the first that is not covered by prior,…
