This paper investigates the number of monic integer polynomials of degree $n$ whose roots are all real and positive. We establish an asymptotic formula for the case of fixed trace by estimating the number of integer sequences satisfying…
In this article, we are interested in the enumeration of Fully Packed Loops configurations on a grid with a given noncrossing matching. These quantities also appear as the groundstate components of the Completely Packed Loops model as…
Koiran's real $\tau$-conjecture claims that the number of real zeros of a structured polynomial given as a sum of $m$ products of $k$ real sparse polynomials, each with at most $t$ monomials, is bounded by a polynomial in $m,k,t$. This…
We present a Suffridge-like extension of the Grace-Szeg\"o convolution theorem for polynomials and entire functions with only real zeros. Our results can also be seen as a $q$-extension of P\'olya's and Schur's characterization of…
We study polynomials p(x) satisfying a differential equation of the form p"(x)-h'(x)p'(x)+H(x)p(x)=0, where h(x)=x^3/3+ax. We prove a conjecture of A. Eremenko and A. Gabrielov.
The Casas-Alvero conjecture predicts that every univariate polynomial over a field of characteristic zero having a common factor with each of its derivatives $H_i(f)$ is a power of a linear polynomial. One approach to proving the conjecture…

Consider a real algebraic curve with set of real points $R\neq\emptyset$ and complexification $P\supset R$. Let $f$ be an algebraic function on $P$ with devisor of critical points $D\subset P$. We prove that $f$ is real after a…
Based on Casas-Alvero conjecture \textit{[J. Algebra, 2001]} we formulate the following conjecture.\\ \textbf{C*-algebraic Casas-Alvero Conjecture : Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a commutative C*-algebra, $n\in \mathbb{N}$ and let $P(z) =…
In this paper we give a conditional improvement to the Elekes-Szab\'{o} problem over the rationals, assuming the Uniformity Conjecture. Our main result states that for $F\in \mathbb{Q}[x,y,z]$ belonging to a particular family of…
Artin solved Hilbert's $17^{th}$ problem by showing that every positive semidefinite polynomial can be realized as a sum of squares of rational functions. Pfister gave a bound on the number of squares of rational functions: if $p$ is a…
Sendov's conjecture, which was first introduced in the last 50s, asserts that if all the zeros of a polynomial $p$ lie in the closed unit disk then for each zero there must be a critical point of $p$ within unit distance. This paper…
The Neggers-Stanley conjecture (also known as the Poset conjecture) asserts that the polynomial counting the linear extensions of a partially ordered set on $\{1,2,...,p\}$ by their number of descents has real zeros only. We provide…
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 $1/p$.
The Skolem Problem asks to determine whether a given linear recurrence sequence (LRS) has a zero term. Showing decidability of this problem is equivalent to giving an effective proof of the Skolem-Mahler-Lech Theorem, which asserts that a…
We prove that any lower unitriangular and totally nonnegative matrix gives rise to a family of polynomials with only real zeros. This has consequences for problems in several areas of mathematics. We use it to develop a general theory for…
We compute the maximum number of rational points at which a homogeneous polynomial can vanish on a weighted projective space over a finite field, provided that the first weight is equal to one. This solves a conjecture by Aubry, Castryck,…
In this short note we confirm the relation between the generalized $abc$-conjecture and the $p$-rationality of number fields. Namely, we prove that given K$/\mathbb{Q}$ a real quadratic extension or an imaginary $S_3$-extension, if the…
The famous strongly binary Goldbach's conjecture asserts that every even number $2n \geq 8$ can always be expressible as the sum of two distinct odd prime numbers. We use a new approach to dealing with this conjecture. Specifically, we…
We give a new elementary proof of the following theorem: if all critical points of a rational function g belong to the real line then there exists a fractional linear transformation L such that L(g) is a real rational function. Then we…
