We investigate structural properties of the cone of roots of relative Steiner polynomials of convex bodies. We prove that they are closed, monotonous with respect to the dimension, and that they cover the whole upper half-plane, except the…

We investigate Newton's method for complex polynomials of arbitrary degree $d$, normalized so that all their roots are in the unit disk. For each degree $d$, we give an explicit set $\mathcal{S}_d$ of $3.33d\log^2 d(1 + o(1))$ points with…

A partition polynomial is a refinement of the partition number p(n) whose coefficients count some special partition statistic. Just as partition numbers have useful asymptotics so do partition polynomials. In fact, their asymptotics…

We investigate monogenicity and prime splitting in extensions generated by roots of iterated quadratic polynomials. Let $f(x)\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$ be an irreducible, monic, quadratic polynomial, and write $f^n(x)$ for the $n^{\text{th}}$…

Let $f,g \in k[x]$ be nonconstant polynomials over a number field $k$. We count $S$-integer inputs $a$ for which $f(a)$ has a $k$-rational preimage under $g$, after removing the polynomial graph components $Y=h(X)$ with $f=g\circ h$. The…

In this paper, we study the Newton polygons for the $L$-functions of $n$-variable generalized Kloosterman sums. Generally, the Newton polygon has a topological lower bound, called the Hodge polygon. In order to determine the Hodge polygon,…

We examine the behavior of the sequences of $p$-adic valuations of quadratic polynomials with integer coefficients for an odd prime $p$ through tree representations. Under this representation, a finite tree corresponds to a periodic…

Ritt studied the functional decomposition of a univariate complex polynomial f into prime (indecomposable) polynomials, f = u_1 o u_2 o ... o u_r. His main achievement was a procedure for obtaining any decomposition of f from any other by…

A mixed polynomial $f(\boldsymbol{z}, \bar{\boldsymbol{z}})$ is called a mixed weighted homogeneous polynomial (Definition 5) if it is both radially and polar weighted homogeneous. Let $f$ be a mixed weighted homogeneous polynomial with…

Graph polynomials encode fundamental combinatorial invariants of graphs. Their computation is investigated using tree and path decomposition frameworks, with formal definitions of treewidth, k-trees, and pathwidth establishing the…

An unfolding of a polyhedron is produced by cutting the surface and flattening to a single, connected, planar piece without overlap (except possibly at boundary points). It is a long unsolved problem to determine whether every polyhedron…

The simplest version of Bertini's irreducibility theorem states that the generic fiber of a non-composite polynomial function is an irreducible hypersurface. The main result of this paper is its analog for a free algebra: if $f$ is a…

Let $p$ denote an odd prime. In this paper, we are concerned with the $p$-divisibility of additive exponential sums associated to one variable polynomials over a finite field of characteristic $p$, and with (the very close question of)…

Theorem. An irreducible cubic polynomial with rational coefficients has a root in a one step radical extension of Q if and only if the discriminate is a square of a rational number. Theorem. An irreducible polynomial x^4+px^2+qx+s with…

Consider any nonzero univariate polynomial with rational coefficients, presented as an elementary algebraic expression (using only integer exponents). Letting sigma(f) denotes the additive complexity of f, we show that the number of…

A codimension one singular holomorphic foliation is Newton non-degenerate if it satisfies the classical conditions of Kouchnirenko and Oka, in terms of its Newton polyhedra system. In this paper we prove that a foliation is Newton…

Firstly, we provide a different proof of an important lemma in Buzzard and Calegari's work on slopes of overconvergent 2-adic modular forms via nonarchimedean linear Hodge-Newton decomposition. The lemma shows that two equivalent matrices…

We introduce a class of dynamical systems of algebraic origin, consisting of self-interacting irreducible polynomials over a field. A polynomial f is made to act on a polynomial g by mapping the roots of g. This action identifies a new…

We show that for a monic polynomial $f(x)$ over a number field $K$ containing a global permutation polynomial of degree $>1$ as its composition factor, the Newton Polygon of $f\mod\mathfrak p$ does not converge for $\mathfrak p$ passing…

Let $(f,g)\colon (\mathbb{C}^2,0)\longrightarrow (\mathbb{C}^2,0)$ be a holomorphic mapping with an isolated zero. We show that the initial Newton polynomial of its discriminant is determined, up to rescalling variables, by the ideals $(f)$…
