We prove an analogue of the classical Bateman-Horn conjecture on prime values of polynomials for the ring of polynomials over a large finite field. Namely, given non-associate, irreducible, separable and monic (in the variable $x$)…
The class of self-conjugate-reciprocal irreducible monic (SCRIM) polynomials over finite fields are studied. Necessary and sufficient conditions for monic irreducible polynomials to be SCRIM are given. The number of SCRIM polynomials of a…
Let $f(x)\in {\mathbb Z}[x]$ be a monic polynomial of degree $N$ that is irreducible over ${\mathbb Q}$. We say $f(x)$ is \emph{monogenic} if $\Theta=\{1,\theta,\theta^2,\ldots ,\theta^{N-1}\}$ is a basis for the ring of integers ${\mathbb…
The aim of this paper is to provide sufficient conditions for when a polynomial or rational function over a field K is prime using its order of vanishing at infinity and the resultant.
A numerical integrator for $\dot{x}=f(x)$ is called \emph{stable} if, when applied to the 1D Dahlquist test equation $\dot{x}=\lambda x,\lambda\in\mathbb{C}$ with fixed timestep $h>0$, the numerical solution remains bounded as the number of…
Fix a number field k. We prove that k* - k*^2 is diophantine over k. This is deduced from a theorem that for a nonconstant separable polynomial P(x) in k[x], there are at most finitely many a in k* modulo squares such that there is a…
A monomial (or equivariant) selfmap of a toric variety is called stable if its action on the Picard group commutes with iteration. Generalizing work of Favre to higher dimensions, we show that under suitable conditions, a monomial map can…
We provide an alternative exposition of a result due to Schinzel. Fix an integer $k \ge 2$. For almost all choices of positive integers $n_{1} < \cdots < n_{k}$, we show that the polynomial $F(x) = 1 + x^{n_{1}} + \cdots + x^{n_{k}}$,…
A graph $G$ is well-covered if all its maximal stable sets have the same size, denoted by alpha(G) (M. D. Plummer, 1970). If for any $k$ the $k$-th coefficient of a polynomial I(G;x) is equal to the number of stable sets of cardinality $k$…
Given a global field K and a polynomial f defined over K of degree at least two, Morton and Silverman conjectured in 1994 that the number of K-rational preperiodic points of f is bounded in terms of only the degree of K and the degree of f.…
The focal point of this paper is to provide some simple and efficient criteria to judge the ${\cal D}$-stability of two families of polynomials, i.e., an interval multilinear polynomial matrix family and a polytopic polynomial family.…
Let M be a field of finite type over {\bf Q} and X a variety defined over M. We study when the set {P \in X(K) \mid f^{\circ n} (P) = P for some n \geq 1} is finite for any finite extension fields K of M and for any dominant K-morphisms f :…
Let $q$ be an odd prime power and $D$ be the set of monic irreducible polynomials in $\mathbb F_q[x]$ which can be written as a composition of monic degree two polynomials. In this paper we prove that $D$ has a natural regular structure by…
In this note, we prove an irreducibility criterion for the polynomial of the form $f(x) = a_{n}x^{n} + a_{n-1}x^{n-1} + \cdots + a_{m}x^{m} + p^{u} \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$, where $p$ is a prime number, $u \geqslant 1$, $\gcd(u, m) = 1$, $p \nmid…
Let $K$ be a number field defined by a monic irreducible polynomial $F(X) \in \mathbb{Z}[X]$, $p$ a fixed rational prime, and $\nu_p$ the discrete valuation associated to $p$. Assume that $\overline{F}(X)$ factors modulo $p$ into the…
A conjecture of Odoni stated over Hilbertian fields $K$ of characteristic zero asserts that for every positive integer $d$, there exists a polynomial $f\in K[x]$ of degree $d$ such that for every positive integer $n$, each iterate $f^{\circ…
Let $f$ be a polynomial of degree $d$ in $n$ variables over a finite field $\mathbb{F}$. The polynomial is said to be unbiased if the distribution of $f(x)$ for a uniform input $x \in \mathbb{F}^n$ is close to the uniform distribution over…
Given $k$ sets $\mathcal{A}_i \subseteq \mathbb{F}_q^d$ and a non-degenerate bilinear form $B$ in $\mathbb{F}_q^d$. We consider the system of $l \leq \binom{k}{2}$ bilinear equations \[ B (\tmmathbf{a}_i, \tmmathbf{a}_j) = \lambda_{i j},…
We prove that every birationally superrigid Fano variety whose alpha invariant is greater than (resp. no smaller than) $\frac{1}{2}$ is K-stable (resp. K-semistable). We also prove that the alpha invariant of a birationally superrigid Fano…
We define a notion of stability for chiral ring of four dimensional N=1 theory by introducing test chiral rings and generalized a maximization. We conjecture that a chiral ring is the chiral ring of a superconformal field theory if and only…
