For every $m\in\mathbb{N}$, we establish the convergence of the averaged distributions of the zeros of the $m$-th order derivatives $(f^n)^{(m)}$ of the iterated polynomials $f^n$ of a polynomial $f\in\mathbb{C}[z]$ of degree $>1$ towards…

Let $V$ be a valuation ring of a global field $K$. We show that for all positive integers $k$ and $1 < n_1 \leq \ldots \leq n_k$ there exists an integer-valued polynomial on $V$, that is, an element of $\text{Int}(V) = \{ f \in K[X] \mid…

In this paper, we provide the degree distribution of irreducible factors of the composed polynomial $f(L(x))$ over $\mathbb F_q$, where $f(x)\in \mathbb F_q[x]$ is irreducible and $L(x)\in \mathbb F_q[x]$ is a linearized polynomial. We…

For each odd prime power q, and each integer k, we determine the sum of the k-th powers of all elements x in F_q for which both x and x+1 are squares in F_q^*. We also solve the analogous problem when one or both of x and x+1 is a…

Let $(f_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ be a sequence of polynomials and $\alpha>1$. In this paper we study the distribution of the sequence $(f_n(\alpha))_{n=1}^{\infty}$ modulo one. We give sufficient conditions for a sequence $(f_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$…

An important result of Bilu deals with the equidistribution of the Galois orbits of a sequence $(\alpha_n)_n$ in $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}^*$. Here, we prove a quantitative equidistribution theorem for a sequence of finite subsets in…

We formulate an abstract notion of equidistribution for families of $\lambda$-probability spaces parameterized by admissible $\mathbb{Z}$-sets. Under the assumption of equidistribution, we show that the $\sigma$-moment generating functions…

Using equidistribution criteria, we establish divisibility by cyclotomic polynomials of several partition polynomials of interest, including $spt$-crank, overpartition pairs, and $t$-core partitions. As corollaries, we obtain new proofs of…

We establish an equidistribution result for push-forwards of certain locally finite algebraic measures in the adelic extension of the space of lattices in the plane. As an application of our analysis we obtain new results regarding the…

$q$-analogs of special functions, including hypergeometric functions, play a central role in mathematics and have numerous applications in physics. In the theory of probability, $q$-analogs of various probability distributions have been…

Let $\ell$ be an odd prime, $q$ an odd prime power such that $q \not\equiv 0 \pmod \ell$, and $m$ the order of $q$ in $\F_\ell^\times$. We propose an explicit $L$-polynomial of hyperelliptic function field $K:=\F_q(T,…

An irreducible polynomial over $\Bbb F_q$ is said to be normal over $\Bbb F_q$ if its roots are linearly independent over $\Bbb F_q$. We show that there is a polynomial $h_n(X_1,\dots,X_n)\in\Bbb Z[X_1,\dots,X_n]$, independent of $q$, such…

In this note, we study the distribution of the rational canonical form of a random matrix over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$, whose entries are independent and $\epsilon$-balanced with $\epsilon\in(0,1-1/p]$. We show that, as the matrix…

There exist homogeneous polynomials $f$ with $\mathbb Q$-coefficients that are sums of squares over $\mathbb R$ but not over $\mathbb Q$. The only systematic construction of such polynomials that is known so far uses as its key ingredient…

We study the problem of representing multivariate polynomials with rational coefficients, which are nonnegative and strictly positive on finite semialgebraic sets, using rational sums of squares. We focus on the case of finite semialgebraic…
