We study the zeros of exceptional Hermite polynomials associated with an even partition $\lambda$. We prove several conjectures regarding the asymptotic behavior of both the regular (real) and the exceptional (complex) zeros. The real zeros…

Let $F(X) = \sum_{n \geq 0} (-1)^{\varepsilon_n} X^{-\lambda_n}$ be a real lacunary formal power series, where $\varepsilon_n = 0, 1$ and $\lambda_{n+1}/\lambda_n > 2$. It is known that the denominators $Q_n(X)$ of the convergents of its…

Suppose X is the complex zero set of a finite collection of polynomials in Z[x_1,...,x_n]. We show that deciding whether X contains a point all of whose coordinates are d_th roots of unity can be done within NP^NP (relative to the sparse…

Given a polynomial \[ f(x)=a_0x^n+a_1x^{n-1}+\cdots +a_n \] with positive coefficients $a_k$, and a positive integer $M\leq n$, we define a(n infinite) generalized Hurwitz matrix $H_M(f):=(a_{Mj-i})_{i,j}$. We prove that the polynomial…

Positivstellensatz is a fundamental result in real algebraic geometry providing algebraic certificates for positivity of polynomials on semialgebraic sets. In this article Positivstellens\"atze for trace polynomials positive on…

Let $\mathcal{L}$ be a positive line bundle over a Riemann surface $\Sigma$ defined over $\mathbb{R}$. We prove that sections $s$ of $\mathcal{L}^d$, $d\gg 0$, whose number of real zeros $\#Z_s$ deviates from the expected one are rare. We…

We show that a discrete sequence $\Lambda$ of the complex plane is the union of $n$ interpolating sequences for the H\"ormander algebras $A_p$ if and only if the trace of $A_p$ on $\Lambda$ coincides with the space of functions on $\Lambda$…

An elegant but elementary result of Wolff from 1921, when interpreted in terms of Banach algebras, shows that it is possible to find a sequence of distinct characters $\phi_n$ on the disc algebra and an $\ell_1$ sequence of complex numbers…

Xu introduced a system of partial differential equations to investigate singular vectors in the Verma modules of highest weight $\lambda$ over $\mathfrak{sl}(n,\mathbb{C})$. He proved that the solution space of this system in the space of…

Let $p(n)$ denote the number of partitions of a natural number $n$. As $ n \to \infty$, the $n$th root of $p(n)$ tends to $1$, which is related to the Cauchy--Hadamard test for power series. Andrews also discovered an elementary proof. Sun…

Let $s_0,s_1,\dots,s_{m-1}$ be complex numbers and $r_0,\dots,r_{m-1}$ rational integers in the range $0\le r_j\le m-1$. Our first goal is to prove that if an entire function $f$ of sufficiently small exponential type satisfies…

Erd\"os conjectured the existence of an infinite Sidon sequence of positive integers which is also an asymptotic basis of order 3. We make progress towards this conjecture in several directions. First we prove the conjecture for all cyclic…

According to the classical Gauss-Lucas theorem all zeros of the derivative of a complex non-constant polynomial p lie in the convex hull of the zeros of p. It is proved that for a polynomial p of degree four with four different zeros…

Integer partitions express the different ways that a positive integer may be written as a sum of positive integers. Here we explore the analytic properties of a new polynomial $f_\lambda(x)$ that we call the partition polynomial for the…

Recently, Z. W. Sun introduced a sequence $(S_n)_{n\geq 0}$, where $S_n=\frac{\binom{6n}{3n} \binom{3n}{n}}{2(2n+1)\binom{2n}{n}}$, and found one congruence and two convergent series on $S_n$ by {\tt{Mathematica}}. Furthermore, he proposed…

Let $p>3$ be a prime. Gauss first introduced the polynomial $S_p(x)=\prod_{c}(x-\zeta_p^c),$ where $0<c<p$ and $c$ varies over all quadratic residues modulo $p$ and $\zeta_p=e^{2\pi i/p}$. Later Dirichlet investigated this polynomial and…

We study the expected number of zeros of $$P_n(z)=\sum_{k=0}^n\eta_kp_k(z),$$ where $\{\eta_k\}$ are complex-valued i.i.d standard Gaussian random variables, and $\{p_k(z)\}$ are polynomials orthogonal on the unit disk. When…

For $n=1,2,3,\ldots$ let $S_n$ be the sum of the first $n$ primes. We mainly show that the sequence $a_n=\root n\of{S_n/n}\ (n=1,2,3,\ldots)$ is strictly decreasing, and moreover the sequence $a_{n+1}/a_n\ (n=10,11,\ldots)$ is strictly…

We give a brief history of transcendental number theory, including Schanuel's conjecture (S). Assuming (S), we prove that if z and w are complex numbers, not 0 or 1, with z^w and w^z algebraic, then z and w are either both rational or both…

A conjecture of Khang Tran [6] claims that for an arbitrary pair of polynomials $A(z)$ and $B(z)$, every zero of every polynomial in the sequence $\{P_n(z)\}_{n=1}^\infty$ satisfying the three-term recurrence relation of length $k$…
