Given a complex polynomial $P$ with zeroes $z_1,\dotsc,z_d$, we show that the asymptotic zero-counting measure of the iterated derivatives $Q^{(n)}, \ n=1,2,\dotsc$, where $Q=R/P$ is any irreducible rational function, converges to an…

We present a novel idea to compute square roots over finite fields, without being given any quadratic nonresidue, and without assuming any unproven hypothesis. The algorithm is deterministic and the proof is elementary. In some cases, the…

H. Lenstra has pointed out that a cubic polynomial of the form (x-a)(x-b)(x-c) + r(x-d)(x-e), where {a,b,c,d,e} is some permutation of {0,1,2,3,4}, is irreducible modulo 5 because every possible linear factor divides one summand but not the…

We present a set of new, efficient high-order symplectic methods designed for Hamiltonian systems with cubic or quartic potentials. By demonstrating that polynomial potentials require fewer order conditions, we develop schemes that…

This paper contains the first knot polynomials which can distinguish the orientations of classical knots and which make no excplicit use of the knot group. But they make extensive use of the meridian and of the longitude in a geometric way.…

We study equidistribution problem of zeros in relation to a sequence of $Z$-asymptotically Chebyshev polynomials on $\mathbb{C}^{m}$. We use certain results obtained in a very recent work of Bayraktar, Bloom and Levenberg and have an…

Zeros of many ensembles of polynomials with random coefficients are asymptotically equidistributed near the unit circumference. We give quantitative estimates for such equidistribution in terms of the expected discrepancy and expected…

A generic method to construct zero-difference functions (ZDFs) on algebraic rings is proposed in this paper. Then this method is used over some rings $\mathbb{Z}_{p^k}$, where $p$ is a prime number and $k\ge 2$ is a positive integer, and…

In terms of the creative microscoping method recently introduced by Guo and Zudilin and the Chinese remainder theorem for coprime polynomials, we establish a $q$-supercongruence with two parameters modulo $[n]\Phi_n(q)^3$. Here…

Let $\K$ be a finite extension of a characteristic zero field $\F$. We say that the pair of $n\times n$ matrices $(A,B)$ over $\F$ represents $\K$ if $\K \cong \F[A]/< B >$ where $\F[A]$ denotes the smallest subalgebra of $M_n(\F)$…

We show that any irreducible representation $\rho$ of a finite group $G$ of exponent $n$, realisable over $\mathbb{R}$, is realisable over the field $E:=\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_n)\cap\mathbb{R}$ of real cyclotomic numbers of order $n$, and…

We prove that the generating polynomials of partitions of an $n$-element set into non-singleton blocks, counted by the number of blocks, have real roots only and we study the asymptotic behavior of the leftmost roots. We apply this…

Let $k$ and $m$ be positive integers and $\lambda/\mu$ a skew partition. We compute the principal specialization of the skew Schur polynomials $s_{\lambda /\mu}(x_1, \ldots, x_{k})$ modulo $q^m-1$ under suitable conditions. We interpret the…

Intersection numbers are rational scalar products among functions that admit suitable integral representations, such as Feynman integrals. Using these scalar products, the decomposition of Feynman integrals into a basis of linearly…

We build a new theory for analyzing the coefficients of any cyclotomic polynomial by considering it as a gcd of simpler polynomials. Using this theory, we generalize a result known as periodicity and provide two new families of flat…

In this paper, we confirm the following conjecture of Guo and Schlosser: for any odd integer $n>1$ and $M=(n+1)/2$ or $n-1$, $$ \sum_{k=0}^{M}[4k-1]_{q^2}[4k-1]^2\frac{(q^{-2};q^4)_k^4}{(q^4;q^4)_k^4}q^{4k}\equiv…

In this article, we give upper bounds for cyclotomic numbers of order e over a finite field with q elements, where e is a divisor of q-1. In particular, we show that under certain assumptions, cyclotomic numbers are at most…

Let $\Phi_n^{(k)}(x)$ be the $k$-th derivative of $n$-th cyclotomic polynomial. Extending a work of D.~H.~Lehmer, we show some curious congruences: $2\Phi^{(3)}_n(1)$ is divisible by $\phi(n)-2$ and $\Phi^{(2k+1)}_n(1)$ is divisible by…

Building upon the work of A. Booker and C. Pomerance (2017), we prove that for a prime power $q \geq 7$, every residue class modulo an irreducible polynomial $F \in \mathbb{F}_q[X]$ has a non-constant, square-free representative which has…

For a root system R, a field K and an invertible element q in K let U be the associated quantum group, defined via Lusztig's divided powers construction. We study the irreducible characters of this algebra with integral (but not necessarily…
