Let $ G $ be a connected, simply connected nilpotent Lie group and $ \Gamma < G $ a lattice. We prove that each ergodic diffeomorphism $ \phi(x\Gamma)=uA(x)\Gamma $ on the nilmanifold $ G/\Gamma $, where $ u\in G $ and $ A:G\to G $ is a…

We use some properties of orthogonal polynomials to provide a class of upper/lower variance bounds for a function $g(X)$ of an absolutely continuous random variable $X$, in terms of the derivatives of $g$ up to some order. The new bounds…

We study seminormalization of affine complex varieties. We show that polynomials on the seminormalization correspond to the rational functions which are continuous for the Euclidean topology. We further study this type of functions which…

Assuming Sarnak conjecture is true for any singular dynamical process, we prove that the spectral measure of the M\"{o}bius function is equivalent to Lebesgue measure. Conversely, under Elliott conjecture, we establish that the M\"{o}bius…

Let $f(x)$ be a monic polynomial in $\dZ[x]$ with no rational roots but with roots in $\dQ_p$ for all $p$, or equivalently, with roots mod $n$ for all $n$. It is known that $f(x)$ cannot be irreducible but can be a product of two or more…

Self-orthogonal codes are an important subclass of linear codes which have nice applications in quantum codes and lattices. It is known that a binary linear code is self-orthogonal if its every codeword has weight divisible by four, and a…

Orthogonal polynomials for a family of weight functions on $[-1,1]^2$, $$ \CW_{\a,\b,\g}(x,y) = |x+y|^{2\a+1} |x-y|^{2\b+1} (1-x^2)^\g(1-y^2)^{\g}, $$ are studied and shown to be related to the Koornwinder polynomials defined on the region…

We prove that the radii of convergence of the solutions of a $p$-adic differential equation $\mathcal{F}$ over an affinoid domain $X$ of the Berkovich affine line are continuous functions on $X$ that factorize through the retraction of…

In this paper, we study primeness and pseudo primeness of p-adic meromorphic functions. We also consider left (resp. right ) primeness of these functions. We give, in particular, sufficient conditions for a meromorphic function to satisfy…

Planar functions are mappings from a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ to itself with an extremal differential property. Such functions give rise to finite projective planes and other combinatorial objects. There is a subtle difference between…

We consider a problem of bounding the maximal possible multiplicity of a zero at of some expansions $\sum a_i F_i(x)$, at a certain point $c,$ depending on the chosen family $\{F_i \}$. The most important example is a polynomial with $c=1.$…

In 1923 Schur considered the following problem. Let f(X) be a polynomial with integer coefficients that induces a bijection on the residue fields Z/pZ for infinitely many primes p. His conjecture, that such polynomials are compositions of…

Let $q$ be a prime power. We estimate the number of tuples of degree bounded monic polynomials $(Q_1,\ldots,Q_v) \in (\mathbb{F}_q[z])^v$ that satisfy given pairwise coprimality conditions. We show how this generalises from monic…

This paper provides a detailed expository and computational account of the elementary methods developed by P. L. Chebyshev and J. J. Sylvester to establish explicit bounds on the prime counting function. The core of the method involves…

A permutation rational function $f\in \mathbb{F}_q(x)$ is a rational function that induces a bijection on $\mathbb{F}_q$, that is, for all $y\in\mathbb{F}_q$ there exists exactly one $x\in\mathbb{F}_q$ such that $f(x)=y$. Permutation…

Fix a positive prime power $q$, and let $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ be the ring of polynomials over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Suppose $A \subseteq \{f \in \mathbb{F}_q[t]\colon\text{deg}~ f \le N\}$ contains no pair of elements whose…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote the finite field of order $q$. For $q$ odd, we investigate the planarity over $\mathbb{F}_{q^3}$ of the family $$ f_{E,A,B,C,D}(X) := EX^2+ AX^{q+1}+ BX^{q^2+1}+CX^{2q} +DX^{2q^2}\in \mathbb{F}_{q}[X]. $$ Using…

We analyze the polynomial solutions of a nonlinear integral equation, generalizing the work of C. Bender and E. Ben-Naim. We show that, in some cases, an orthogonal solution exists and we give its general form in terms of kernel…

In this paper we obtain explicit estimates and existence results on the number of $\mathbb{F}_q$-rational solutions of certain systems defined by families of diagonal equations over finite fields. Our approach relies on the study of the…
