Let \ $\lambda \in \mathbb{Q}^{*+}$ \ and consider a multivalued formal function of the type $$ \phi(s) : = \sum_{j=0}^k \ c_j(s).s^{\lambda + m_j}.(Log\, s)^j $$ where \ $c_j \in \C[[s]], m_j \in \mathbb{N}$ \ for \ $j \in [0,k-1]$. The…

We prove a vanishing theorem for the p-adic cohomology of exponential sums on affine space. In particular, we obtain new classes of exponential sums on affine space that have a single nonvanishing p-adic cohomology group. The dimension of…

For $K\subset \mathbb C$ a compact subset and $\mu$ a positive finite Bore1 measure supported on $K,$ let $R^\infty (K,\mu)$ be the weak-star closure in $L^\infty (\mu)$ of rational functions with poles off $K.$ We show that if $R^\infty…

Let $u\not\equiv -\infty$ be a subharmonic function on the complex plane $\mathbb C$. In 2016, we obtained a result on the existence of an entire function $f\neq 0$ satisfying the estimate $\log|f|\leq {\sf B}_u$ on $\mathbb C$, where…

Let P_nk(x) denote the sum of the lowest k+1 terms in the expansion of (1+x)^n. We investigate the irreducibility of P_nk(x) and more general univariate polynomials related to it. Polynomials P_nk(x) naturally arise in Schubert calculus,…

We study representations of inner functions on the bidisc from a fractional linear transformation point of view, and provide sufficient conditions, in terms of colligation matrices, for the existence of two-variable inner functions. Here…

In this article, we propose a few sufficient conditions on polynomials having integer coefficients all of whose zeros lie outside a closed disc centered at the origin in the complex plane and deduce the irreducibility over the ring of…

In the last few years, the notion of optimal polynomial approximant has appeared in the mathematics literature in connection with Hilbert spaces of analytic functions of one or more variables. In the 70s, researchers in engineering and…

In this paper, we define a fractional negative binomial process (FNBP) by replacing the Poisson process by a fractional Poisson process (FPP) in the gamma subordinated form of the negative binomial process. First, it is shown that the…

Gibbs manifolds are images of affine spaces of symmetric matrices under the exponential map. They arise in applications such as optimization, statistics and quantum~physics, where they extend the ubiquitous role of toric geometry. The Gibbs…

In this paper, we present a more complete version of the minimax theorem established in [7]. As a consequence, we get, for instance, the following result: Let $X$ be a compact, not singleton subset of a normed space $(E,\|\cdot\|)$ and let…

It is well known that a strictly convex minimand admits at most one minimizer. We prove a partial converse: Let $X$ be a locally convex Hausdorff space and $f \colon X \mapsto \left( - \infty , \infty \right]$ a function with compact…

We study some systems of polynomials whose support lies in the convex hull of a circuit, giving a sharp upper bound for their numbers of real solutions. This upper bound is non-trivial in that it is smaller than either the Kouchnirenko or…

We establish the \emph{inverse conjecture for the Gowers norm over finite fields}, which asserts (roughly speaking) that if a bounded function $f: V \to \C$ on a finite-dimensional vector space $V$ over a finite field $\F$ has large Gowers…

We propose a symbolic-numeric algorithm to count the number of solutions of a polynomial system within a local region. More specifically, given a zero-dimensional system $f_1=\cdots=f_n=0$, with $f_i\in\mathbb{C}[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$, and a…

A 1993 result of Alon and F\"uredi gives a sharp upper bound on the number of zeros of a multivariate polynomial over an integral domain in a finite grid, in terms of the degree of the polynomial. This result was recently generalized to…

In this paper, two structural results concerning low degree polynomials over finite fields are given. The first states that over any finite field $\mathbb{F}$, for any polynomial $f$ on $n$ variables with degree $d \le \log(n)/10$, there…

We prove an analogue of Chebyshev's alternation theorem for linearly independent discrete functions $\Phi_n=\{\varphi_k\}_{k=1}^n$ on the interval $[0,q]_{\mathbb{Z}}=[0,q]\cap \mathbb{Z}$. In particular, we establish that the polynomial of…

In this paper, we prove that a weak form of the Akizuki-Nakano vanishing theorem holds on globally $F$-split 3-folds. Making use of this vanishing theorem, we study deformations of globally $F$-split Fano 3-folds and the Kodaira vanishing…

In a recent paper, Madritsch and Tichy established Diophantine inequalities for the fractional parts of polynomial-like functions. In particular, for $f(x)=x^k+x^c$ where $k$ is a positive integer and $c>1$ is a non-integer, and any fixed…
