We investigate the density of square-free values of polynomials with large coefficients over the rational function field $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$. Some interesting questions answered as special cases of our results include the density of…

This is an exposition of results of R.C. Vaughan and the author (Mathematika 70 (2024), no. 4). We discuss how often the squarefree values of an integral polynomial do occur. We discuss interrelations between our results and results of B.…

This note presents new results for the squarefree value sets of quartic polynomials over the integers.

We develop a method for determining the density of squarefree values taken by certain multivariate integer polynomials that are invariants for the action of an algebraic group on a vector space. The method is shown to apply to the…

We study representation of square-free polynomials in the polynomial ring F[t] over a finite field F by polynomials in F[t][x]. This is a function field version of the well-studied problem of representing squarefree integers by integer…

We study a function field version of a classical problem concerning square-free values of polynomials evaluated at primes. We show that for a square-free polynomial $f\in \mathbb{F}_q[t][x]$, there is a limiting density as $n\to \infty$ of…

Given f in Z[x_1,...,x_n], we compute the density of x in Z^n such that f(x) is squarefree, assuming the abc conjecture. Given f,g in Z[x_1,...,x_n], we compute unconditionally the density of x in Z^n such that gcd(f(x),g(x))=1. Function…

We determine the density of monic integer polynomials of given degree $n>1$ that have squarefree discriminant; in particular, we prove for the first time that the lower density of such polynomials is positive. Similarly, we prove that the…

In this paper we prove that polynomials $F(x_1, \cdots, x_n) \in \mathbb{Z}[x_1, \cdots, x_n]$ of degree $d \geq 3$, satisfying certain hypotheses, take on the expected density of $(d-1)$-free values. This extends the authors' earlier…

The question of whether or not a given integral polynomial takes infinitely many square-free values has only been addressed unconditionally for polynomials of degree at most 3. We address this question, on average, for polynomials of…

We study the density of complex zeros of a system of real random SO($m+1$) polynomials in several variables. We show that the density of complex zeros of this random polynomial system with real coefficients rapidly approaches the density of…

Let f be a square-free polynomial in Fq[t][x] where Fq is a field of q elements. We view f as a polynomial in the variable x with coefficients in the ring Fq[t]. We study squarefree values of f in sparse subsets of Fq[t] which are given by…

We describe the limit zero distributions of sequences of polynomials with positive coefficients.

Let $P$ and $T$ be disjoint sets of prime numbers with $T$ finite. A simple formula is given for the natural density of the set of square-free numbers which are divisible by all of the primes in $T$ and by none of the primes in $P$. If $P$…

In this paper we study the density of polynomials in some $L^2(M)$ spaces. Two choices of the measure $M$ and polynomials are considered: 1) a $(N\times N)$ matrix non-negative Borel measure on $\mathbb{R}$ and vector-valued polynomials…

We establish asymptotic formulae for the number of $k$-free values of polynmilas $F(x_1,\cdots,x_n)\in\mathbb{Z}[x_1,\cdots,x_n]$ of degree $d\geq 2$ for any $n\geq 1$, including when the variables are prime, as long as $k\geq (3d+1)/4$.…

For nonempty subsets $S_0, \dots, S_{n-1}$ of a (large enough) finite field $\mathbb{F}$ satisfying $$|S_1|, \dots, |S_{n-1}| > 2 \quad \mathrm{or} \quad |S_1|,|S_{n-1}| > n - 1,$$ we show that there exist $a_0 \in S_0, \dots, a_{n-1} \in…

In this paper, we prove formulas for local densities of quadratic polynomials over non-dyadic fields and over unramified dyadic fields.
