It was earlier conjectured by the second and the third authors that any rational curve $g:{\mathbb C}P^1\to {\mathbb C}P^n$ such that the inverse images of all its flattening points lie on the real line ${\mathbb R}P^1\subset {\mathbb…
Let $R$ be a polynomial ring in $N$ variables over an arbitrary field $K$ and let $I$ be an ideal of $R$ generated by $n$ polynomials of degree at most 2. We show that there is a bound on the projective dimension of $R/I$ that depends only…
For the generalized Jacobi, Laguerre and Hermite polynomials $P_n^{(\alpha_n, \beta_n)} (x), L_n^{(\alpha_n)} (x),$\break $H_n^{(\gamma_n)} (x)$ the limit distributions of the zeros are found, when the sequences $\alpha_n$ or $\beta_n$ tend…
Let $R$ be an associative ring with ${\bf 1}$ which is not commutative. Assume that any non-zero commutator $v\in R$ satisfies: $v^2$ is in the center of $R$ and $v$ is not a zero-divisor. (Note that our assumptions do not include finite…
Let I and J be homogeneous ideals in a standard graded polynomial ring. We study upper bounds of the Hilbert function of the intersection of I and g(J), where g is a general change of coordinates. Our main result gives a generalization of…
Let $p_n(x)$ be orthogonal polynomials associated to a measure $d\mu$ of compact support in $R$. If $E\not\in supp(d\mu)$, we show there is a $\delta>0$ so that for all $n$, either $p_n$ or $p_{n+1}$ has no zeros in $(E-\delta, E+\delta)$.…
Laguerre's theorem regarding the number of non-real zeros of a polynomial and its image under certain linear operators is generalized. This generalization is then used to (1) exhibit a number of previously undiscovered complex zero…
Along with the development of the theory of slice regular functions over the real algebra of quaternions $\mathbb{H}$ during the last decade, some natural questions arose about slice regular functions on the open unit ball $\mathbb{B}$ in…
Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a regular local ring containing a field $K$. Let $I$ be a Cohen-Macaulay ideal of height $g$. If $\text{char } K = p > 0$ then by a result of Peskine and Szpiro the local cohomology modules $H^i_I(R)$ vanish for $i…
In this paper, we show that the GVC (generalized vanishing conjecture) holds for the differential operator $\Lambda=(\partial_x-\Phi(\partial_y))\partial_y$ and all polynomials $P(x,y)$, where $\Phi(t)$ is any polynomial over the base…
We use representation theory and Bott's theorem to show vanishing of higher cotangent cohomology modules for the homogeneous coordinate ring of Grassmannians in the Pl\"ucker embedding. As a biproduct we answer a question of Wahl about the…
Given a zero-dimensional ideal I in a polynomial ring, many computations start by finding univariate polynomials in I. Searching for a univariate polynomial in I is a particular case of considering the minimal polynomial of an element in…
The complex or non-hermitian orthogonal polynomials with analytic weights are ubiquitous in several areas such as approximation theory, random matrix models, theoretical physics and in numerical analysis, to mention a few. Due to the…
We extend some of the results of Agler, Knese, and McCarthy [1] to $n$-tuples of commuting isometries for $n>2$. Let $\mathbb{V}=(V_1,\dots,V_n)$ be an $n$-tuple of a commuting isometries on a Hilbert space and let Ann$(\mathbb{V})$ denote…
Schinzel's Hypothesis H is a general conjecture in number theory on prime values of polynomials that generalizes, e.g., the twin prime conjecture and Dirichlet's theorem on primes in arithmetic progression. We prove an arithmetic analog of…
Let $S$ be a dense subring of the real numbers. In this paper we prove a polynomial version of Van der Waerden's theorem near zero. In fact, we prove that if $p_1,\ldots,p_m \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ are polynomials such that $p_i(0) = 0$ and…
Given a polynomial $p$ with no zeros in the polydisk, or equivalently the poly-upper half-plane, we study the problem of determining the ideal of polynomials $q$ with the property that the rational function $q/p$ is bounded near a boundary…
Let $\A$ be an algebra and let $f(x_1,...,x_d)$ be a multilinear polynomial in noncommuting indeterminates $x_i$. We consider the problem of describing linear maps $\phi:\A\to \A$ that preserve zeros of $f$. Under certain technical…
We prove a Jensen-disc type theorem for polynomials $p\in\mathbb{R}[z]$ having all their zeros in a sector of the complex plane. This result is then used to prove the existence of a collection of linear operators…
The purpose of this note is to point out that the main result of [M. Chamberland, When Are All the Zeros of a Polynomial Real and Distinct? Amer. Math. Monthly. 127 (2020) 449-451] is implicitly contained in the elementary lore of the…
