Recently, Corvaja and Zannier obtained an extension of the Subspace Theorem with arbitrary homogeneous polynomials of arbitrary degreee instead of linear forms. Their result states that the set of solutions in P^n(K) (K number field) of the…
In this note we consider Diophantine equations of the form \begin{equation*} a(x^p-y^q) = b(z^r-w^s), \quad \mbox{where}\quad \frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}+\frac{1}{r}+\frac{1}{s}=1, \end{equation*} with even positive integers $p,q,r,s$. We show…
This paper supplements recents results on linear differential equations $f''+Af=0$, where the coefficient $A$ is analytic in the unit disc of the complex plane $\mathbb{C}$. It is shown that, if $A$ is analytic and $|A(z)|^2(1-|z|^2)^3\,…
We investigate integrality and divisibility properties of Fourier coefficients of meromorphic modular forms of weight $2k$ associated to positive definite integral binary quadratic forms. For example, we show that if there are no…
The finite-degree Zariski (Z-) closure is a classical algebraic object, that has found a key place in several applications of the polynomial method in combinatorics. In this work, we characterize the finite-degree Z-closures of a subclass…
In this article, we study the Zariski closure of modular points in the two-dimensional universal deformation space when the residual Galois representation is reducible. Unlike the previous approaches in the residually irreducible case from…
Let $A_1, A_2\in \mathbb C(z)$ be rational functions of degree at least two that are neither Latt\`es maps nor conjugate to $z^{\pm n}$ or $\pm T_n.$ We describe invariant, periodic, and preperiodic algebraic curves for endomorphisms of…
Lehner's 1949 results on the $j$-invariant showed high divisibility of the function's coefficients by the primes $p\in\{2,3,5,7\}$. Expanding his results, we examine a canonical basis for the space of level $p$ modular functions holomorphic…
Chazy studied a family of homogeneous third-order autonomous differential equations. They are those, within a certain class, admitting exclusively single-valued solutions. Each one of these equations yields a polynomial vector field in…
Our main result describes the relation between the syzygies involving the first order partial derivatives $f_0,...,f_n$ of a homogeneous polynomial $f\in \C[x_0,...x_n]$ and the defect of the linear systems vanishing on the singular locus…
This paper continues an earlier work on the structure of solutions to two classes of functional equation. Let $Z$ be a compact Abelian group and $U_1$, \ldots, $U_k \leq Z$ be closed subgroups. Given $f:Z\to\mathbb{T}$ and $w \in Z$, one…
We look for spectral type differential equations satisfied by the generalized Jacobi polynomials, which are orthogonal on the interval [-1,1] with respect to a weight function consisting of the classical Jacobi weight function together with…
Let $\mathbf{f} = (f_1, \ldots, f_R)$ be a system of polynomials with integer coefficients in which the degrees need not all be the same. We provide sufficient conditions for which the system of equations $f_j (x_1, \ldots, x_n) = 0 \ (1…
Given linearly independent holomorphic functions $f_0,...,f_n$ on a planar domain $\Omega$, let $\mathcal E$ be the set of those points $z\in\Omega$ where a nontrivial linear combination $\sum_{j=0}^n\lambda_jf_j$ may have a zero of…
In this paper, we will first show that, the homogeneous polynomials which satisfy the Jacobian condition are injective on the lines that pass through the origin. Secondly, we will show that $F$ and $G'$ are paired, where $F$ is a Druzkowski…
We introduce a basis of rational polynomial-like functions $P_0,\ldots,P_{n-1}$ for the free module of functions $Z/nZ\to Z/mZ$. We then characterize the subfamily of congruence preserving functions as the set of linear combinations of the…
Let f in Z[X,Y,Z] be a non-constant, absolutely irreducible, homogeneous polynomial with integer coefficients, such that the projective curve given by f=0 has a function field isomorphic to the rational function field Q(t). We show that all…
Let $F\in\mathbb{C}[x,y,s,t]$ be an irreducible constant-degree polynomial, and let $A,B,C,D\subset\mathbb{C}$ be finite sets of size $n$. We show that $F$ vanishes on at most $O(n^{8/3})$ points of the Cartesian product $A\times B\times…
