Let $k \geq 1$ be a natural number and $f \in \mathbb{F}_q[t]$ be a monic polynomial. Let $\omega_k(f)$ denote the number of distinct monic irreducible factors of $f$ with multiplicity $k$. We obtain asymptotic estimates for the first and…

In this paper, we investigate the proportion of monogenic orders among the orders whose indices are a power of a fixed prime in a pure cubic field. We prove that the proportion is zero for a prime number that is not equal to 2 or 3. To do…

Let $m$ be a square-free positive integer, $m\equiv 2,3 \; (\bmod \; 4)$. We show that the number field $K=Q(i,\sqrt[4]{m})$ is non-monogene, that is it does not admit any power integral bases of type $\{1,\alpha,\ldots,\alpha^7\}$. In this…

For a class of polynomials $f \in \mathbb{Z}[X]$, which in particular includes all quadratic polynomials, and also trinomials of some special form, we show that, under some natural conditions (necessary for quadratic polynomials), the set…

We present the formula for the number of monic irreducible polynomials of degree $n$ over the finite field $\mathbb F_q$ where the coefficients of $x^{n-1}$ and $x$ vanish for $n\ge3$. In particular, we give a relation between rational…

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic two. We prove that a non constant monic polynomial $f\in k[X]$ of degree $n$ is the minimal/characteristic polynomial of a symmetric matrix with entries in $k$ if and only if it is not the product of…

We investigate the computational complexity of deciding whether a given univariate integer polynomial p(x) has a factor q(x) satisfying specific additional constraints. When the only constraint imposed on q(x) is to have a degree smaller…

Let $K=\mathbb Q(\theta)$ be an algebraic number field with $\theta$ a root of an irreducible trinomial $f(x)=x^6+ax+b$ belonging to $\mathbb{Z}[x]$. In this paper, for each prime number $p$ we compute the highest power of $p$ dividing the…

We prove the real non-attractive fixed point conjecture for complex polynomial and rational harmonic functions. A harmonic function $f=h+\overline{g}$ is polynomial (rational) if both $h$ and $g$ are polynomials (rational functions) of…

Let $K$ be a number field with ring of integers $\mathcal O_K$, and let $\{f_k\}_{k\in \mathbb N}\subseteq \mathcal O_K[x]$ be a sequence of monic polynomials such that for every $n\in \mathbb N$, the composition $f^{(n)}=f_1\circ…

We show that for any polynomial $f$ from the integers to the integers, with positive leading coefficient and irreducible over the rationals, if $x$ is large enough then there is a string of $(\log x)(\log\log x)^{1/835}$ consecutive…

We show that a monic univariate polynomial over a field of characteristic zero, with $k$ distinct non-zero known roots, is determined by its $k$ proper leading coefficients by providing an explicit algorithm for computing the multiplicities…

We investigate non-unique factorization of polynomials in Z_{p^n}[x] into irreducibles. As a Noetherian ring whose zero-divisors are contained in the Jacobson radical, Z_{p^n}[x] is atomic. We reduce the question of factoring arbitrary…

Suppose $m$ be a $12$-th power free integer. Let $K=\mathbb{Q}(\theta)$ be an algebraic number field defined by a complex root $\theta$ of an irreducible polynomial $x^{12}-m$ and $O_K$ be its ring of integers. In this paper, we determine…

We consider infinite parametric families of high degree number fields composed of quadratic fields with pure cubic, pure quartic, pure sextic fields and with the so called simplest cubic, simplest quartic fields. We explicitly describe an…

Several recent results prove the monogenity of some polynomials. In these cases the root of the polynomial generates a power integral basis in the number field generated by the root. A straightforward question is whether such a number field…

Let $f(z)$ be in $1+z\mathbb{Q}[[z]]$ and $\mathcal{S}$ be an infinite set of prime numbers such that, for all $p\in\mathcal{S}$, we can reduce $f(z)$ modulo $p$. We let $f(z)_{\mid p}$ denote the reduction of $f(z)$ modulo $p$. Generally,…

A class of self-inversive polynomials includes all the self-reciprocal polynomials. Let A denote the set of all self-reciprocal polynomials with n+1 coefficients. Let B denote the set of certain self-inversive and non self-reciprocal…

Let $S$ be a rational fraction and let $f$ be a polynomial over a finite field. Consider the transform $T(f)=\operatorname{numerator}(f(S))$. In certain cases, the polynomials $f$, $T(f)$, $T(T(f))\dots$ are all irreducible. For instance,…

Let $K$ be a number field and $f\in K[X]$ an irreducible monic polynomial with coefficients in $O_K$, the ring of integers of $K$. We aim to enounce an effective criterion, in terms of the Galois group of $f$ over $K$ and a linear…
