Let $p$ be a prime number, $K$ be the henselization of the rational functions over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$ and $R$ be the ring of additive polynomials over K. We show that the field of Laurent series over $\mathbb{F}_p$ is decidable…

We give an algorithm for computing all roots of polynomials over a univariate power series ring over an exact field $\mathbb{K}$. More precisely, given a precision $d$, and a polynomial $Q$ whose coefficients are power series in $x$, the…

Let p be an odd prime number. We show that there exists a finite group of order p^{p+3} whose the mod p cycle map from the mod p Chow ring of its classifying space to its ordinary mod p cohomology is not injective.

In this paper, we introduce the prime trees associated with a finite subset $P$ of the set of all prime numbers, and provide conditions under which the tree is of finite type. Moreover, we compute the density of finite-type subsets $P$. As…

For a fixed prime $p$, the maximum coefficient (in absolute value) $M(p)$ of the cyclotomic polynomial $\Phi_{pqr}(x)$, where $r$ and $q$ are free primes satisfying $r>q>p$ exists. Sister Beiter conjectured in 1968 that $M(p)\le(p+1)/2$. In…

Let $p$ be a prime number and let $S=\{x^p+c_1,\dots,x^p+c_r\}$ be a finite set of unicritical polynomials for some $c_1,\dots,c_r\in\mathbb{Z}$. Moreover, assume that $S$ contains at least one irreducible polynomial over $\mathbb{Q}$. Then…

For any polynomial $P(x)\in\mathbb{Z}[x],$ we study arithmetic dynamical systems generated by $\displaystyle{F_P(n)=\prod_{k\le n}}P(n)(\text{mod}\ p),$ $n\ge 1.$ We apply this to improve the lower bound on the number of distinct quadratic…

A convex-polynomial is a convex combination of the monomials $\{1, x, x^2, \ldots\}$. This paper establishes that the convex-polynomials on $\mathbb R$ are dense in $L^p(\mu)$ and weak$^*$ dense in $L^\infty(\mu)$, precisely when…

We show that almost all permutations have some power that is a cycle of prime length. The proof includes a theorem giving a strong upper bound on the proportion of elements of the symmetric group having no cycles with length in a given set.

For a given graph $G$ of minimum degree at least $k$, let $G_p$ denote the random spanning subgraph of $G$ obtained by retaining each edge independently with probability $p=p(k)$. We prove that if $p \ge \frac{\log k + \log \log k +…

In [GTZ08, GTZ12], the following result was established: given polynomials $f,g\in\mathbb{C}[x]$ of degrees larger than $1$, if there exist $\alpha,\beta\in\mathbb{C}$ such that their corresponding orbits $\mathcal{O}_f(\alpha)$ and…

Let $K/\Q$ be a cyclic extension of number fields with Galois group $G$. We study the ideal classes of primes $\mathfrak{p}$ of $K$ of residue degree bigger than one in the class group of $K$. In particular, we explore such extensions…

We give a short proof for an explicit upper bound on the proportion of permutations of a given prime order $p$, acting on a finite set of given size $n$, which is sharp for certain $n$ and $p$. Namely, we prove that if $n\equiv k\pmod{p}$…

For any complex polynomial P having all its zeros in the unit disk, we estimate the rate of change of the argument P (z) when the point z runs through the boundary of this disk.

We derive an upper bound on the density of Jones polynomials of knots modulo a prime number $p$, within a sufficiently large degree range: $4/p^7$. As an application, we classify knot Jones polynomials modulo two of span up to eight.

Let $f(x)\in {\mathbb Z}[x]$ be monic of degree $N\ge 2$. Suppose that $f(x)$ is monogenic, and that $f(x)$ is the characteristic polynomial of the $N$th order linear recurrence sequence $\Upsilon_f:=(U_n)_{n\ge 0}$ with initial conditions…

We study maps of the unit interval whose graph is made up of two increasing segments and which are injective in an extended sense. Such maps $f_{\p}$ are parametrized by a quintuple $\p$ of real numbers satisfying inequations. Viewing…

We address some questions concerning indecomposable polynomials and their behaviour under specialization. For instance we give a bound on a prime $p$ for the reduction modulo $p$ of an indecomposable polynomial $P(x)\in \Zz[x]$ to remain…

Let $A(p,n,k)$ be the number of $p$-tuples of commuting permutations of $n$ elements whose permutation action results in exactly $k$ orbits or connected components. We formulate the conjecture that, for every fixed $p$ and $n$, the…
