We give an elementary proof of the Kontsevich conjecture that asserts that the iterations of the noncommutative rational map K_r:(x,y)-->(xyx^{-1},(1+y^r)x^{-1}) are given by noncommutative Laurent polynomials.

Constant-recursive sequences are those which satisfy a linear recurrence, so that later terms can be obtained as a linear combination of the previous ones. The rank of a constant-recursive sequence is the minimal number of previous terms…

Theory of motivic superpolynomials is developed, including its extension to algebraic links colored by rows, relations to $L$-functions of plane curve singularities, the justification of the motivic versions of Weak Riemann Hypothesis, and…

Erman, Smith, and V\'arilly-Alvarado showed that the expected number of doubly monic Laurent polynomials $f(z) = z^{-m} + a_{-m+1}z^{-m+1} + \cdots + a_{n-1}z^{n-1} + z^n$ whose first $m+n-1$ powers have vanishing constant term is the…

In the work we have considered p-adic functional series with binomial coefficients and discussed its p-adic convergence. Then we have derived a recurrence relation following with a summation formula which is invariant for rational argument.…

This work is a study of polynomial compositions having a fixed number of terms. We outline a recursive method to describe these characterizations, give some particular results and discuss the general case. In the final sections, some…

We formulate a stability conjecture for the coefficients of the colored Jones polynomial of a knot, colored by irreducible representations in a fixed ray of a simple Lie algebra, and verify it for all torus knots and all simple Lie algebras…

We give a new combinatorial description for stable Grothendieck polynomials in terms of subdivisions of Gelfand-Zetlin polytopes. Moreover, these subdivisions also provide a description of Lascoux polynomials. This generalizes a similar…

We develop a robust structure theory for multiple ergodic averages of commuting transformations along Hardy sequences of polynomial growth. We then apply it to derive a number of novel results on joint ergodicity, recurrence and…

We give a short proof of the inner product conjecture for the symmetric Macdonald polynomials of type $A_{n-1}$. As a special case, the corresponding constant term conjecture is also proved.

In this paper, we prove some extensions of recent results given by Shkredov and Shparlinski on multiple character sums for some general families of polynomials over prime fields. The energies of polynomials in two and three variables are…

We explicitly determine the Ap\'ery limits for the sums of powers of binomial coefficients. As an application, we prove a weak version of Franel's conjecture on the order of the recurrences for these sequences. Namely, we prove the…

We apply a symbolic approach of the general quadratic decomposition of polynomial sequences - presented in a previous article referenced herein - to polynomial sequences fulfilling specific orthogonal conditions towards two given…

We present a theorem about irreducibility of a polynomial that is the resultant of two others polynomials. The proof of this fact is based on the field theory. We also consider the converse theorem and some examples.

Using a direct algebraic approach we derive convolution identities for second order sequences, hereby distinguishing between sequences obeying the same or different recurrence relations. We also state a general convolution for Horadam…

In this note, we describe a family of particular algebraic, and nonquadratic, power series over an arbitrary finite field of characteristic 2, having a continued fraction expansion with all partial quotients of degree one. The main purpose…

Can any element in a sufficiently large finite field be represented as a sum of two $d$th powers in the field? In this article, we recount some of the history of this problem, touching on cyclotomy, Fermat's last theorem, and diagonal…

Bugeaud, Mignotte, and Siksek proved that the only perfect powers in Fibonacci sequence are 0, 1, 8, and 144. In this paper, we study the polynomial analogue of the problem. Especially, we give a complete characterization of the Fibonacci…

The classical polynomial interpolation problem in several variables can be generalized to the case of points with greater multiplicities. What is known, as yet, is essentially concentrated in the Alexander-Hirschowitz Theorem which says…

Let $\operatorname{Con}(\mathbf T)\!\restriction\!x$ denote the finite consistency statement "there are no proofs of contradiction in $\mathbf T$ with $\leq x$ symbols". For a large class of natural theories $\mathbf T$, Pudl\'ak has shown…
