The aim of this paper is to provide sufficient conditions for when a polynomial or rational function over a field K is prime using its order of vanishing at infinity and the resultant.

In this note, the main focus is on a question about transcendental entire functions mapping $\mathbb{Q}$ into $\mathbb{Q}$ (which is related to a Mahler's problem). In particular, we prove that, for any $t>0$, there is no a transcendental…

We present a theory of the $b$-function (or Bernstein-Sato polynomial) in positive characteristic. Let $f$ be a non-constant polynomial with coefficients in a perfect field $k$ of characteristic $p>0.$ Its $b$-function $b_f$ is defined to…

We prove a Nullstellensatz for the ring of polynomial functions in n non-commuting variables over Hamilton's ring of real quaternions. We also characterize the generalized polynomial identities in n variables which hold over the…

We adapt the proof of the Green-Tao theorem on arithmetic progressions in primes to the setting of polynomials over a finite field, to show that for every $k$, the irreducible polynomials in $\mathbf{F}_q[t]$ contain configurations of the…

Let K be a function field, let f be a rational function of degree d at least 2 defined over K, and suppose that f is not isotrivial. In this paper, we show that a point P in P^1(Kbar) has f-canonical height zero if and only if P is…

It is known that Hilbert's Tenth Problem over the Gaussian ring $\mathbb Z[i]=\{a+bi:\ a,b\in\mathbb Z\}$ is undecidable. In this paper we obtain the following further result: There is no algorithm to decide whether an arbitrarily given…

Let $F$ be a field, char$(F)\neq 2$. Then every finite-dimensional $F$-algebra has either an idempotent or an absolute nilpotent if and only if over $F$ every polynomial of odd degree has a root in $F$. This is also necessary and sufficient…

We study the problem of \emph{robust satisfiability} of systems of nonlinear equations, namely, whether for a given continuous function $f:\,K\to\mathbb{R}^n$ on a~finite simplicial complex $K$ and $\alpha>0$, it holds that each function…

We prove an effective form of Hilbert's irreducibility theorem for polynomials over a global field $K$. More precisely, we give effective bounds for the number of specializations $t\in \mathcal{O}_K$ that do not preserve the irreducibility…

We provide an irreducibility test in the ring K[[x]][y] whose complexity is quasi-linear with respect to the valuation of the discriminant, assuming the input polynomial F square-free and K a perfect field of characteristic zero or greater…

A key property of an algebraic variety is whether it is absolutely irreducible, meaning that it remains irreducible over the algebraic closure of its defining field, and determining absolute irreducibility is important in algebraic geometry…

We provide an irreducibility test in the ring K[[x]][y] whose complexity is quasi-linear with respect to the discriminant valuation, assuming the input polynomial F square-free and K a perfect field of characteristic zero or greater than…

A classical result states that if $f(z)$ is a polynomial of degree at most $n$ with nonnegative coefficients, then $f(z)$ has no zeros in the sector $|\arg(z)| < \frac{\pi}{n}$ of the complex plane, and the bound $\frac{\pi}{n}$ is tight.…

Let $P_1,\dots,P_m\in\mathbb{Z}[y]$ be any linearly independent polynomials with zero constant term. We show that there exists a $\gamma>0$ such that any subset of $\mathbb{F}_q$ of size at least $q^{1-\gamma}$ contains a nontrivial…

We show that for any quadratic extension of number fields $K/F$, there exists an abelian variety $A/F$ of positive rank whose rank does not grow upon base change to $K$. This result implies that Hilbert's tenth problem over the ring of…

The main purpose of this paper is solve polynomial equations that are satisfied by (generalized) polynomials. More exactly, we deal with the following problem: let $\mathbb{F}$ be a field with $\mathrm{char}(\mathbb{F})=0$ and $P\in…
