We examine the polynomial analogues of McMullen's and Zaremba's conjectures on continued fractions with bounded partial quotients. It has already been proved by Blackburn that if the base field is infinite, then the polynomial analogue of…

Fix an odd prime $p$. If $r$ is a positive integer and $f$ a polynomial with coefficients in $\mathbb{F}_{p^r}$, let $P_{p,r}(f)$ be the proportion of $\mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{F}_{p^r})$ that is periodic with respect to $f$. We show that as…

Let $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ be a finite field with $q$ elements and $\mathbb{F}_{q}[x]$ the ring of polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. Let $l(x), k(x)$ be coprime polynomials in $\mathbb{F}_{q}[x]$ and $\Phi(k)$ the Euler function in…

In this paper we establish function field versions of two classical conjectures on prime numbers. The first says that the number of primes in intervals (x,x+x^epsilon] is about x^epsilon/log x and the second says that the number of primes…

We prove that $\mathrm{deg}(f) \leq \widetilde{O}(\mathrm{rdeg}(f)^3)$ for every Boolean function $f$, where $\mathrm{deg}(f)$ is the degree of $f$ and $\mathrm{rdeg}(f)$ is the rational degree of $f$. This resolves the second of the three…

Let $g(x)$ be a fixed non-constant complex polynomial. It was conjectured by Schinzel that if $g(h(x))$ has boundedly many terms, then $h(x)\in \C[x]$ must also have boundedly many terms. Solving an older conjecture raised by R\'enyi and by…

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…

We solve the first-order classification problem for rings $R$ of polynomials $F[x_1, \ldots,x_n]$ and Laurent polynomials $F[x_1,x_1^{-1}, \ldots,x_n,x_n^{-1}]$ with coefficients in an infinite field $F$ or the ring of integers $\mathbb Z$,…

Littlewood investigated polynomials with coefficients in $\{-1,1\}$ (Littlewood polynomials), to see how small their ratio of norms $||f||_4/||f||_2$ on the unit circle can become as $deg(f)\to\infty$. A small limit is equivalent to slow…

The class B of lacunary polynomials f(x) := -1 + x + x^n + x^{m_1} + x^{m_2} + ... + x^{m_s}, where s >= 0, m_1 - n >= n - 1, m_{q+1} - m_{q} >= n - 1 for 1 <= q < s, n >= 3 is studied. A polynomial having its coefficients in {0, 1} except…

In this paper, we first consider the graph of $(F_1,F_{2},\cdots,F_{n})$ on $\overline{\mathbb{D}}^{n},$ where $F_{j}(z)=\bar{z}^{m_{j}}_{j}+R_{j}(z),j=1,2,\cdots,n,$ which has non-isolated CR-singularities if $m_{j}>1$ for some…

Let $f_i(P)$ denote the number of $i$-dimensional faces of a convex polytope $P$. Furthermore, let $S(n,d)$ and $C(n,d)$ denote, respectively, the stacked and the cyclic $d$-dimensional polytopes on $n$ vertices. Our main result is that for…

Using Stickelberger's theorem on Gauss sums, we show that if $F$ is a planar function on a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, then for all non-zero functions $G : \mathbb{F}_q \to \mathbb{F}_q$, we have \begin{equation*} d_{\mathsf{alg}}(G \circ…
