We introduce two closure operations on ideals in commutative rings related to the ring operation of root closure. One closure is the result of iterating a root-like operation on ideals infinitely many times, and the other closure arises as…
We introduce a zeta function counting imaginary quadratic number fields by their class numbers. It is proved that such a function is rational depending only on the eight roots of unity of degrees $1$ and $2$. As a corollary, one gets a…
We consider a family of infinite sums of products of Catalan numbers, indexed by trees. We show that these sums are polynomials in $1/\pi$ with rational coefficients; the proof is effective and provides an algorithm to explicitly compute…
Motivated by the recent developments of the theory of Cherednik algebras in positive characteristic, we study rational Cherednik algebras with divided powers. In our research we have started with the simplest case, the rational Cherednik…
By establishing an interesting connection between ordinary Bell polynomials and rational convolution powers, some composition and inverse relations of Bell polynomials as well as explicit expressions for convolution roots of sequences are…
We present counting methods for some special classes of multivariate polynomials over a finite field, namely the reducible ones, the s-powerful ones (divisible by the s-th power of a nonconstant polynomial), and the relatively irreducible…
We define winding numbers of regular closed curves on surfaces with a nice euclidean or hyperbolic geometry. We prove that two regular closed curves are regularly homotopic if and only if they are freely homotopic and have the same winding…
Let $X$ be a Hausdorff compact space and $C(X)$ be the algebra of all continuous complex-valued functions on $X$, endowed with the supremum norm. We say that $C(X)$ is (approximately) $n$-th root closed if any function from $C(X)$ is…
A new efficient algorithm is proposed for factoring polynomials over an algebraic extension field. The extension field is defined by a polynomial ring modulo a maximal ideal. If the maximal ideal is given by its Groebner basis, no extra…
We compute K-theory for ring C*-algebras in the case of higher roots of unity and thereby completely determine the K-theory for ring C*-algebras attached to rings of integers in arbitrary number fields.
Given any polynomial system with fixed monomial term structure, we give explicit formulae for the generic number of roots with specified coordinate vanishing restrictions. For the case of affine space minus an arbitrary union of coordinate…
We develop a recursive formula for counting the number of rectangulations of a square, i.e the number of combinatorially distinct tilings of a square by rectangles. Our formula specializes to give a formula counting generic rectangulations,…
We give a new complexity bound for calculating the complex dimension of an algebraic set. Our algorithm is completely deterministic and approaches the best recent randomized complexity bounds. We also present some new, significantly sharper…
We present an algorithm for computing circuit polynomials in the algebraic rigidity matroid $\mathcal{A}(\text{CM}_n)$ associated to the Cayley-Menger ideal CM$_n$ for $n$ points in 2D. It relies on combinatorial resultants, a new operation…
Until recently, the only known method of finding the roots of polynomials over prime power rings, other than fields, was brute force. One reason for this is the lack of a division algorithm, obstructing the use of greatest common divisors.…
We give a new formula for the rotation number (or Whitney index) of a smooth closed plane curve. This formula is obtained from the winding numbers associated with the regions and the crossing points of the curve. One difference with the…
Polynomial interpretations are a useful technique for proving termination of term rewrite systems. They come in various flavors: polynomial interpretations with real, rational and integer coefficients. As to their relationship with respect…
With the introduction of special roots, we show the existence of some special weights with quite interesting properties for finite Lie algebras. We propose and discuss two statements which lead us to an explicit construction of these…
We use folding techniques to define a new class of gentle-like algebras that generalise the iterated tilted algebras of type $C$ and $\widetilde{C}$, which we call folded gentle algebras. We then show that folded gentle algebras satisfy…
In this paper we define a variant of Roe algebras for spaces with cylindrical ends and use this to study questions regarding existence and classification of metrics of positive scalar curvature on such manifolds which are collared on the…
