We prove a new upper bound for the number of smooth values of a polynomial with integer coefficients. This improves Timofeev's previous result unless the polynomial is a product of linear polynomials with integer coefficients. As an…

We provide a multidimensional extension of previous results on the existence of polynomial progressions in dense subsets of the primes. Let $A$ be a subset of the prime lattice - the d-fold direct product of the primes - of positive…

Let $f_r(d,s_1,\ldots,s_r)$ denote the least integer $n$ such that every $n$-point set $P\subseteq\mathbb{R}^d$ admits a partition $P=P_1\cup\cdots\cup P_r$ with the property that for any choice of $s_i$-convex sets $C_i\supseteq P_i$…

As early as the 1930s, P\'al Erd\H{o}s conjectured that: {\em for any multiplicative function $f:\mathbb{N}\to\{-1,1\}$, the partial sums $\sum_{n\leq x}f(n)$ are unbounded.} Considering this conjecture, in this paper we consider…

Let $P(z)=z^{n}+a_{n-2}z^{n-2}+\cdots+a_0$ be a nonconstant polynomial and $S(z)$ be a nonzero rational function and denote $h(z)=S(z)e^{P(z)}$. Let $\theta\in(0,\pi/2n)$ be a constant and $\varepsilon>0$ be a small constant. It is shown…

Suppose $F$ is an infinite field and let $f \in F\{X_1, \dots,X_m\}$ be a noncommutative polynomial. Partially answering a query of Makar-Limanov, we show that there are numbers $d$ and $m'$ such that, if $F$ is closed under taking $d$th…

Let $f(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$. Set $f_{0}(x) = x$ and, for $n \geq 1$, define $f_{n}(x)$ $=$ $f(f_{n-1}(x))$. We describe several infinite families of polynomials for which the infinite product \prod_{n=0}^{\infty} (1 + \frac{1}{f_{n}(x)})…

It was asked by E. Szemer\'edi if, for a finite set $A\subset\mathbb{Z}$, one can improve estimates for $\max\{|A+A|,|A\cdot A|\}$, under the constraint that all integers involved have a bounded number of prime factors -- that is, each…

Given convex polytopes $P_1,...,P_r$ in $R^n$ and finite subsets $W_I$ of the Minkowsky sums $P_I=\sum_{i \in I} P_i$, we consider the quantity $N(W)=\sum_{I \subset {\bf [}r {\bf ]}} {(-1)}^{r-|I|} \big| W_I \big|$. We develop a technique…

We provide upper bounds for the size of subsets of finite fields lacking the polynomial progression $$ x, x+y, ..., x+(m-1)y, x+y^m, ..., x+y^{m+k-1}.$$ These are the first known upper bounds in the polynomial Szemer\'{e}di theorem for the…

Let $k_i\ (i=1,2,\ldots,t)$ be natural numbers with $k_1>k_2>\cdots>k_t>0$, $k_1\geq 2$ and $t<k_1.$ Given real numbers $\alpha_{ji}\ (1\leq j\leq t,\ 1\leq i\leq s)$, we consider polynomials of the shape…

We consider Chebyshev polynomials, $T_n(z)$, for infinite, compact sets $\frak{e} \subset \mathbb{R}$ (that is, the monic polynomials minimizing the sup-norm, $\Vert T_n \Vert_{\frak{e}}$, on $\frak{e}$). We resolve a $45+$ year old…

For each integers $\ell > 1$ and $n \ge m \ge 1$, we prove an equivalence between the category of polynomial modules over a paraholic subalgebra $\mathfrak p$ of an affine Lie algebra of $\mathfrak{gl}(n\ell)$ and the module category of the…

Let $f\in \mathbb{R}[x_1,\ldots, x_k]$, for $k\ge 2$. For any finite sets $A_1,\ldots, A_k\subset \mathbb{R}$, consider the set $$ f(A_1,\ldots, A_k):=\{f(a_1,\ldots, a_k)\mid (a_1,\cdots,a_k)\in A_1\times\cdots \times A_k\}, $$ that is,…

We establish expansion properties for suitably generic polynomials of degree $d$ in $d+1$ variables over finite fields. In particular, we show that if $P\in\mathbb{F}_q[x_1,\ldots,x_{d+1}]$ is a polynomial of degree $d$ coming from an…

Let $\omega$ be a sequence of positive integers. Given a positive integer $n$, we define $$ r_n(\omega) = | \{ (a,b)\in \mathbb{N}\times \mathbb{N}\colon a,b \in \omega, a+b = n, 0 <a<b \}|. $$ S. Sidon conjectured that there exists a…

It is known that there are infinitely-many prime numbers which take the form of a polynomial of degree one with integer coefficients, this is Dirichlet's theorem. We use an elementary sieving argument together with bounds on the prime…

Let $F(X)= \prod_{i=1}^k(a_iX+b_i)$ be a polynomial with $a_i, b_i$ being integers. Suppose the discriminant of $F$ is non-zero and $F$ is admissible. Given any natural number $N$, let $S(F,N)$ denotes those integers less than or equal to…

For a finite set $\cal F$ of polynomials over fixed finite prime field of size $p$ containing all polynomials $x^2 - x$ a Nullstellensatz proof of the unsolvability of the system $$ f = 0\ ,\ \mbox{ all } f \in {\cal F} $$ in the field is a…

We deduce, as a consequence of the arithmetic removal lemma, an almost-all version of the Balog-Szemer\'{e}di-Gowers theorem: For any $K\geq 1$ and $\varepsilon > 0$, there exists $\delta = \delta(K,\varepsilon)>0$ such that the following…
