Motivated by the question of whether a random polynomial with integer coefficients is likely to be irreducible, we study the probability that a monic polynomial with integer coefficients has a low-degree factor over the integers, which is…

Univariate polynomial root-finding is a classical subject, still important for modern computing. Frequently one seeks just the real roots of a real coefficient polynomial. They can be approximated at a low computational cost if the…

We present the formula for the number of monic irreducible polynomials of degree $n$ over the finite field $\mathbb F_q$ where the coefficients of $x^{n-1}$ and $x$ vanish for $n\ge3$. In particular, we give a relation between rational…

Let D be a Krull domain and Int(D) the ring of integer-valued polynomials on D. For any f in Int(D), we explicitly construct a divisor homomorphism from [f], the divisor-closed submonoid of Int(D) generated by f, to a finite sum of copies…

For a polynomial $f(x)$ in $(\mathbb{Z}_p\cap \mathbb{Q})[x]$ of degree $d>2$ let $L(f \bmod p;T)$ be the $L$-function of the exponential sum of $f \bmod p$. Let $\mathrm{NP}(f \bmod p)$ denote the Newton polygon of $L(f \bmod p;T)$. Let…

The approximate degree of a Boolean function $f(x_{1},x_{2},\ldots,x_{n})$ is the minimum degree of a real polynomial that approximates $f$ pointwise within $1/3$. Upper bounds on approximate degree have a variety of applications in…

Let $k$ be a field, $V$ a $k$-vector space and $X$ be a subset of $V $. A function $f:X\to k$ is weakly polynomial of degree $\leq a$, if the restriction of $f$ on any affine subspace $L\subset X$ is a polynomial of degree $\leq a$. In this…

Let K be a local field of characteristic zero, O its ring of integers and F(x) a monic irreducible polynomial with coefficients in O. K. Okutsu attached to F(x) certain primitive divisor polynomials F_1(x),..., F_r(x), that are specially…

Let $f(Z)=Z^n-a_{1}Z^{n-1}+\cdots+(-1)^{n-1}a_{n-1}Z+(-1)^na_n$ be a monic polynomial with coefficients in a ring~$R$ with identity, not necessarily commutative. We study the ideal $I_f$ of $R[X_1,\dots,X_n]$ generated by…

We study the $p$-adic absolute value of the roots of the $L$-functions associated to certain twisted character sums, and additive character sums associated to polynomials $P(x^d)$, when $P$ varies among the space of polynomial of fixed…

We derive a relative version of the local monodromy theorem for ordinary differential equations on an annulus over a mixed-characteristic nonarchimedean field, and give several applications in $p$-adic cohomology and $p$-adic Hodge theory.…

We determine the probability that a random polynomial of degree $n$ over $\mathbb{Z}_p$ has exactly $r$ roots in $\mathbb{Q}_p$, and show that it is given by a rational function of $p$ that is invariant under replacing $p$ by $1/p$.

Motivated by the result that an `approximate' evaluation of the Jones polynomial of a braid at a $5^{th}$ root of unity can be used to simulate the quantum part of any algorithm in the quantum complexity class BQP, and results relating BQP…

Motivated by a construction of Gorelik and Shaviv, we show that the real roots of a root generated subalgebra associated with a $\pi$-system contained in the positive roots are obtained by successive applications of even and odd reflections…

Let $A$ be a Dedekind domain, $K$ the fraction field, $\p$ a non-zero prime ideal of $A$, and $K_\pp$ the completion of $K$ with respect to the $\p$-adic topology. At the input of a monic irreducible separable polynomial, $f(x)\in A[x]$,…

In this paper, we mainly give a general explicit form of Cassels' $p$-adic embedding theorem for number fields. We also give its refined form in the case of cyclotomic fields. As a byproduct, given an irreducible polynomial $f$ over $Z$, we…

We show that a monic univariate polynomial over a field of characteristic zero, with $k$ distinct non-zero known roots, is determined by its $k$ proper leading coefficients by providing an explicit algorithm for computing the multiplicities…

The index of a monic irreducible polynomial $f(x)\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$ having a root $\theta$ is the index $[\mathbb{Z}_K:\mathbb{Z}[\theta]]$, where $\mathbb{Z}_K$ is the ring of algebraic integers of the number field $K=\mathbb{Q}(\theta)$.…

The absolute separation of a polynomial is the minimum nonzero difference between the absolute values of its roots. In the case of polynomials with integer coefficients, it can be bounded from below in terms of the degree and the height…
