This paper explores a natural action of the group $\mathrm{PGL}_2(\mathbb F_q)$ on the set of monic irreducible polynomials of degree at least two over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$. Our main results deal with the existence and number of…
Given a field $K$ and $n > 1$, we say that a polynomial $f \in K[x]$ has newly reducible $n$th iterate over $K$ if $f^{n-1}$ is irreducible over $K$, but $f^n$ is not (here $f^i$ denotes the $i$th iterate of $f$). We pose the problem of…
Up to linear transformations, we obtain a classification of permutation polynomials (PPs) of degree $8$ over $\mathbb{F}_{2^r}$ with $r>3$. By [J. Number Theory 176 (2017) 466-66], a polynomial $f$ of degree $8$ over $\mathbb{F}_{2^r}$ is…
The subset of quadratic primes {p = an^2 + bn + c : n => 1} generated by an irreducible polynomial f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c over the integers is widely believed to be an unbounded subset of prime numbers. This note provides the details of a…
We study the semiring $\mathbb{N}_0[\alpha]$ as an additive monoid where $\alpha$ is a positive real algebraic number. In the atomic case, the atoms of $\mathbb{N}_0[\alpha]$ are precisely the powers $\alpha^n$ up to a certain nonnegative…
Given a natural number $n \geq 4$ we show that there exists infinitely many polynomials $f_{n}(x):= \prod_{i=1}^{n} (x^{2} - a_{i})$ such that (i) $f_{n}(x)$ has a root modulo every positive integer, (ii) $f_{n}(x)$ has no rational roots,…
Let F,G in C[x_1,...,x_n] be two polynomials in n variables x_1,...,x_n over the complex numbers field C. In this paper, we prove that if the degree of the Poisson bracket [F,G] is small enough then there are strict constraints for…
Let $K$ be a pure number field generated by a complex root of a monic irreducible polynomial $F(x)=x^{60}-m\in \mathbb{Z}[x]$, with $m\neq \pm1$ a square free integer. In this paper, we study the monogeneity of $K$. We prove that if…
Let $f(T)$ be a monic polynomial of degree $d$ with coefficients in a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Extending earlier results in the literature, but now allowing $(q,2d)>1$, we give a criterion for $f$ to satisfy the following property: for…
Let $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ be two real polynomials whose leading coefficients have the same sign. Suppose that $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ have only real zeros and that $g$ interlaces $f$ or $g$ alternates left of $f$. We show that if $ad\ge bc$ then the…
Say a trinomial $x^n+A x^m+B \in \Q[x]$ has reducibility type $(n_1,n_2,...,n_k)$ if there exists a factorization of the trinomial into irreducible polynomials in $\Q[x]$ of degrees $n_1$, $n_2$,...,$n_k$, ordered so that $n_1 \leq n_2 \leq…
Let $q$ be a Pisot or Salem number. Let $f_j(x)$ $(j=1,2,\dots)$ be integer-valued polynomials of degree $\ge2$ with positive leading coefficients, and let $\{a_j (n)\}_{n\ge1}$ $(j=1,2,\dots)$ be sequences of algebraic integers in the…
An intersective polynomial is a monic polynomial in one variable with rational integer coefficients, with no rational root and having a root modulo $m$ for all positive integers $m$. Let $G$ be a finite noncyclic group and let $r(G)$ be the…
An irreducible polynomial $f\in\Bbb F_q[X]$ of degree $n$ is {\em normal} over $\Bbb F_q$ if and only if its roots $r, r^q,\dots,r^{q^{n-1}}$ satisfy the condition $\Delta_n(r, r^q,\dots,r^{q^{n-1}})\ne 0$, where…
Let $K$ be a number field. Given a polynomial $f(x)\in K[x]$ of degree $d\ge 2$, it is conjectured that the number of preperiodic points of $f$ is bounded by a uniform bound that depends only on $d$ and $[K:\mathbb Q]$. However, the only…
Let $q$ be a prime power and $U$ the group of lower unitriangular matrices of order $n$ for some natural number $n$. We give a lower bound for the degrees of irreducible constituents of Andr\'{e}-Yan supercharacters and classify the…
We study a random polynomial of degree $n$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, where the coefficients are independent and identically distributed and uniformly chosen from the squares in $\mathbb{F}_q$. Our main result demonstrates that…
Let $f\in\mathbb{Z}[X]$ be quadratic or cubic polynomial. We prove that there exists an integer $G_f\geq 2$ such that for every integer $k\geq G_f$ one can find infinitely many integers $n\geq 0$ with the property that none of…
In this paper, we consider the problem of determining the density of monic polynomials over $\mathbb{Z}_p$ with squarefree discriminant over various subsets of the set of monic polynomials over $\mathbb{Z}_p$ of fixed degree. We compute the…
