This paper presents a unified theory for the power of a point with respect to generalized spheres (spheres, horospheres, and hyperspheres) in $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space $\mathbf{H}^n$. By extending the classical secant theorem, we…

The problem of finding superintegrable Hamiltonians and their integrals of motion can be reduced to solving a series of compatibility equations that result from the overdetermination of the commutator or Poisson bracket relations. The…

Let $G$ be a topological commutative semigroup with unit. We prove that a continuous function $f\colon G\to \cc$ is a generalized exponential polynomial if and only if there is an $n\ge 2$ such that $f(x_1 +\ldots +x_n )$ is decomposable;…

We introduce the Primitive Eulerian polynomial $P_{\cal A}(z)$ of a central hyperplane arrangement ${\cal A}$. It is a reparametrization of its cocharacteristic polynomial. Previous work of the first author implicitly show that, for…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in real projective $d$-space, not all contained in a hyperplane, such that any $d$ points span a hyperplane. An ordinary hyperplane of $P$ is a hyperplane containing exactly $d$ points of $P$. We show that if…

Generalized Macdonald polynomials (GMP) are eigenfunctions of specifically-deformed Ruijsenaars Hamiltonians and are built as triangular polylinear combinations of Macdonald polynomials. They are orthogonal with respect to a modified scalar…

We describe an algorithm for computing, for all primes $p \leq X$, the mod-$p$ reduction of the trace of Frobenius at $p$ of a fixed hypergeometric motive in time quasilinear in $X$. This combines the Beukers--Cohen--Mellit trace formula…

Given a polynomial \( H(x) \) over \(\mathbb{F}_{q^n}\), we study permutation polynomials of the form \( x + \gamma \mathrm{Tr}(H(x)) \) over \(\mathbb{F}_{q^n}\). Let \[P_H=\{\gamma\in \mathbb{F}_{q^n} : x+\gamma \mathrm{Tr}(H(x))~\text{is…
