We show that the shortest nonzero polynomials vanishing on bounded-rank matrices and skew-symmetric matrices are the determinants and Pfaffians characterising the rank. Algebraically, this means that in the ideal generated by all $t$-minors…

Polynomial processes are defined by the property that conditional expectations of polynomial functions of the process are again polynomials of the same or lower degree. Many fundamental stochastic processes, including affine processes, are…

Let $K$ be a nonempty finite subset of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^k$ $(k\ge 2)$. We prove that if a function $f\colon \mathbb{R}^k\to \mathbb{C}$ is such that the sum of $f$ on every congruent copy of $K$ is zero, then $f$ vanishes…

Let F be a class of functions with the uniqueness property: if a function f in F vanishes on a set of positive measure, then f is the zero function. In many instances, we would like to have a quantitative version of this property, e.g. a…

We provide detailed local descriptions of stable polynomials in terms of their homogeneous decompositions, Puiseux expansions, and transfer function realizations. We use this theory to first prove that bounded rational functions on the…

In the study of the cyclicity of a function $f$ in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces an important role is played by sequences of polynomials $\{p_n\}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ called \emph{optimal polynomial approximants} (o.p.a.). For many such…

We study the structure of the backward shift invariant and nearly invariant subspaces in weighted Fock-type spaces $\mathcal{F}_W^p$, whose weight $W$ is not necessarily radial. We show that in the spaces $\mathcal{F}_W^p$ which contain the…

We establish new recurrence and multiple recurrence results for a rather large family $\mathcal{F}$ of non-polynomial functions which includes tempered functions defined in [11], as well as functions from a Hardy field with the property…

We show that for any compact convex set $K$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and any finite family $\mathcal{F}$ of convex sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$, if the intersection of every sufficiently small subfamily of $\mathcal{F}$ contains an isometric copy of $K$…

In most classical holomorphic function spaces on the unit disk, a function $f$ can be approximated in the norm of the space by its dilates $f\_r(z):=f(rz)~(r \textless{} 1)$. We show that this is \emph{not} the case for the de…

We provide an irreducibility test in the ring K[[x]][y] whose complexity is quasi-linear with respect to the valuation of the discriminant, assuming the input polynomial F square-free and K a perfect field of characteristic zero or greater…

Consider the Dirichlet-type space on the bidisk consisting of holomorphic functions $f(z_1,z_2):=\sum_{k,l\geq 0}a_{kl}z_1^kz_2^l$ such that $\sum_{k,l\geq 0}(k+1)^{\alpha_1} (l+1)^{\alpha_2}|a_{kl}|^2 <\infty.$ Here the parameters…

X. Buff and A. Cheritat proved that there are quadratic polynomials having Siegel disks with smooth boundaries. Based on a simplification of A. Avila, we give yet another simplification of their proof. The main tool used is a harmonic…

The Sendov conjecture asserts that if all the zeros of a polynomial p lie in the closed unit disk then there must be a zero of p ' within unit distance of each zero. In this paper we give a partial result when p has simple zeros.

Let F be any field. Let p(F) be the characteristic of F if F is not of characteristic zero, and let p(F)=+\infty otherwise. Let A_1,...,A_n be finite nonempty subsets of F, and let $$f(x_1,...,x_n)=a_1x_1^k+...+a_nx_n^k+g(x_1,...,x_n)\in…

We give a full metric describing the gravitational field of a static and axisymmetric thin disk without radial pressure encircling a Schwarzschild black hole. The disk density profiles are astrophysically realistic, stretching from the…

Makienko's conjecture, a proposed addition to Sullivan's dictionary, can be stated as follows: The Julia set of a rational function R has buried points if and only if no component of the Fatou set is completely invariant under the second…

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…

We use tools of additive combinatorics for the study of subvarieties defined by {\it high rank} families of polynomials in high dimensional $\mathbb{F} _q$-vector spaces. In the first, analytic part of the paper we prove a number properties…

We show that the counts of low degree irreducible factors of a random polynomial $f$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$ with independent but non-uniform coefficients behave like that of a uniform random polynomial, exhibiting a form of universality for…
