The Milnor-Wood inequality states that if a (topological) oriented circle bundle over an orientable surface of genus $g$ has a smooth transverse foliation, then the Euler class of the bundle satisfies $$|\mathcal{E}|\leq 2g-2.$$ We give a…

The theory of orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle is developed for a general class of weights leading to systems of recurrence relations and derivatives of the polynomials and their associated functions, and to functional-difference…

We show the existence of and explicitly construct generic polynomials for various groups, over fields of positive characteristic. The methods we develop apply to a broad class of connected linear algebraic groups defined over finite fields…

We introduce certain special polynomials in an arbitrary number of indeterminates over a finite field. These polynomials generalize the special polynomials associated to the Goss zeta function and Goss-Dirichlet $L$-functions over the ring…

We record a few observations on number theoretic aspects of Milnor-Witt K-theory, focusing on generalizing classical results on reciprocity laws, Hasse's norm theorem and K_2 of number fields and rings of integers.

This article provides a gentle introduction for a general mathematical audience to the factorization theory of motion polynomials and its application in mechanism science. This theory connects in a rather unexpected way a seemingly abstract…

We prove a general divisibility theorem that implies, e.g., that, in any group, the number of generating pairs (as well as triples, etc.) is a multiple of the order of the commutator subgroup. Another corollary says that, in any associative…

This paper develops a theory of polynomial maps from commutative semigroups to arbitrary groups and proves that it has desirable formal properties when the target group is locally nilpotent. We apply this theory to solve Waring's Problem…

We investigate degree bounds for fields of rational invariants of representations of finite groups. We prove many cases of a bound for $\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$ conjectured by Blum-Smith, Garcia, Hidalgo, and Rodriguez. For arbitrary groups,…

We prove a number field analogue of the Green--Tao--Ziegler theorem on simultaneous prime values of degree 1 polynomials whose linear parts are pairwise linearly independent. Applications of our results include a Hasse principle of rational…

A fundamental theorem of linear algebra asserts that every basis for the vector space $\mathbb{R}^n$ has $n$ elements. In this expository note we present a theorem of W. G. Leavitt describing one way in which this invariant basis number…

We prove the classical result, which goes back at least to Fourier, that a polynomial with real coefficients has all zeros real and distinct if and only if the polynomial and also all of its nonconstant derivatives have only negative minima…

For a polynomial $P$ of degree greater than one, we show the existence of patterns of the form $(x,x+t,x+P(t))$ with a gap estimate on $t$ in positive density subsets of the reals. This is an extension of an earlier result of Bourgain. Our…

We describe the ideals, especially the prime ideals, of semirings of polynomials over layered domains, and in particular over supertropical domains. Since there are so many of them, special attention is paid to the ideals arising from…

For Poincare series of binary polyhedral groups and Coxeter polynomials there are obtained statements close to the Euclid algorithm and orthogonal polynomials theory: generalized Ebeling formula, decompositions into ramified continued…

Starting from Ritt's classical theorems, we give a survey of results in functional decomposition of polynomials and of applications in Diophantine equations. This includes sufficient conditions for the indecomposability of polynomials, the…

We establish a novel connection between the central binomial coefficients $\binom{2n}{n}$ and Gould's sequence through the construction of a specialized multivariate polynomial quotient ring. Our ring structure is characterized by ideals…

In this paper, we study properties of polynomials over division rings. Moreover, we present formulas for finding roots of some polynomials

We define a Rasmussen $s$-invariant over the coefficient ring of the integers, and show how it is related to the $s$-invariants defined over a field. A lower bound for the slice genus of a knot arising from it is obtained, and we give…

Recent proofs of classical theorems in polynomial algebra and functional analysis are discussed, which use tools from the topology of real manifolds. Simpler proofs were discovered in the new century, of the Hilbert Nullstellensatz, and the…
