We prove the existence of complex polynomials $p(z)$ of degree $n$ and $q(z)$ of degree $m<n$ such that the harmonic polynomial $ p(z) + \overline{q(z)}$ has at least $\lceil n \sqrt{m} \rceil$ many zeros. This provides an array of new…

Investigating a problem posed by W. Hengartner (2000), we study the maximal valence (number of preimages of a prescribed point in the complex plane) of logharmonic polynomials, i.e., complex functions that take the form $f(z) = p(z)…

The valence of a function $f$ at a point $w$ is the number of distinct, finite solutions to $f(z) = w$. Let $f$ be a complex-valued harmonic function in an open set $R \subseteq \mathbb{C}$. Let $S$ denote the critical set of $f$ and $C(f)$…

Consider a logharmonic polynomial; that is, a product of the form $p(z)\overline{q(z)}$, where $p$, $q$ are holomorphic polynomials. Assume $q$ is linear and denote by $n$ the degree of $p$. It was recently shown in arXiv:2302.04339…

We find a new lower bound for the maximal number of zeros to harmonic polynomials, $p(z)+\overline{q(z)}$, when ${\rm deg}\, p = n$ and ${\rm deg}\, q = n-2$.

D. Khavinson and G. Swiatek proved that harmonic polynomials p(z)+q(z), where p is holomorphic, q is antiholomorphic, and deg p = n > 1 = deg q, can have at most 3n-2 complex zeros. We show that this bound is sharp for all n by proving a…

We prove the real non-attractive fixed point conjecture for complex polynomial and rational harmonic functions. A harmonic function $f=h+\overline{g}$ is polynomial (rational) if both $h$ and $g$ are polynomials (rational functions) of…

A 2p-times continuously differentiable complex valued function $f = u + iv$ in a simply connected domain is polyharmonic (or p-harmonic) if it satisfies the polyharmonic equation $\Delta^pF = 0$ . Every polyharmonic mapping f can be written…

We consider harmonic polynomials of real variables $x,y,z$ that are eigenfunctions of the rotations about the axis $z$. They have the form $(x\pm yi)^{n}p(x,y,z)$, where $p$ is a rotation invariant polynomial. Let ${\mathfrak R}_{m}$ be the…

We introduce the notion of $(\mathcal F,p)$-valent functions. We concentrate in our investigation on the case, where $\mathcal F$ is the class of polynomials of degree at most $s$. These functions, which we call $(s,p)$-valent functions,…

For normalized harmonic functions $f(z)=h(z)+\bar{g(z)}$ in the open unit disk $\mathbb{U}$, a sufficient condition on $h(z)$ for $f(z)$ to be $p$-valent in $\mathbb{U}$ is discussed. Moreover, some interesting examples and images of $f(z)$…

We study the fixed points of the Berezin transform on the Fock-type spaces $F_m^2$ with the weight $e^{-|z|^m}, m > 0.$ It is known that the Berezin transform is well-defined on the polynomials in $z$ and $\overline{z}$. In this paper we…

For given two harmonic functions $\Phi$ and $\Psi$ with real coefficients in the open unit disk $\mathbb{D}$, we study a class of harmonic functions $f(z)=z-\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}A_nz^{n}+\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}B_n\bar{z}^n$ $(A_n, B_n \geq 0)$…

Supposing that $A(z)$ is an exponential polynomial of the form $$ A(z)=H_0(z)+H_1(z)e^{\zeta_1z^n}+\cdots +H_m(z)e^{\zeta_mz^n}, $$ where $H_j$'s are entire and of order $<n$, it is demonstrated that the function $H_0(z)$ and the geometric…

In this paper, we consider complex polynomials of degree three with distinct zeros and their polarization ((z1,z2,z3) with three complex variables. We show, through elementary means, that the variety P(z1,z2,z3)=0 is birationally equivalent…

We give a short proof that the quartic polynomial $f(z)=\frac 1 6 z^{4} + \frac 2 3 z^{3} + \frac 7 6 z^{2} + z$ is univalent.

In 1984, Gehring and Pommerenke proved that if the Schwarzian derivative $S(f)$ of a locally univalent analytic function $f$ in the unit disk satisfies that $\limsup_{|z|\to 1} |S(f)(z)| (1-|z|^2)^2 < 2$, then there exists a positive…

Let P(z) and Q(y) be polynomials of the same degree k>=1 in the complex variables z and y, respectively. In this extended abstract we study the non-linear functional equation P(z)=Q(y(z)), where y(z) is restricted to be analytic in a…

We study the rationality of the Artin-Mazur zeta function of a dynamical system defined by a polynomial self-map of A^1(k), where k is the algebraic closure of the finite field F_p. The zeta functions of the maps f(x)=x^m for (p,m)=1 and…

In this article, we study the multiple zeta functions (MZF) and some of its variants at identical arguments. Using the harmonic product, these functions can be expressed as polynomials in the Riemann zeta function. Firstly, we note that an…
