Let $K$ be the field of Laurent series with complex coefficients, let $\mathcal{R}$ be the inverse limit of the standard-graded polynomial rings $K[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$, and let $\mathcal{R}^{\flat}$ be the subring of $\mathcal{R}$ consisting…
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.
Generalized polynomials are mappings obtained from the conventional polynomials by the use of operations of addition, multiplication and taking the integer part. Extending the classical theorem of H. Weyl on equidistribution of polynomials,…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field of $q$ elements. In this paper we obtain bounds on the following counting problem: given a polynomial $f(x)\in \mathbb{F}_q[x]$ of degree $k+m$ and a non-negative integer $r$, count the number of…
Let $f$ be an $\mathbb{F}_q$-linear function over $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$. If the $\mathbb{F}_q$-subspace $U= \{ (x^{q^t}, f(x)) : x\in \mathbb{F}_{q^n} \}$ defines a maximum scattered linear set, then we call $f$ a scattered polynomial of index…
Given a prime $p$, let $P(t)$ be a non-constant monic polynomial in $t$ over the ring $\mathbb{Z}_{p}$ of $p$-adic integers. Let $X_{n}$ be an $n \times n$ random matrix over $\mathbb{Z}_{p}$ with independent entries that lie in any residue…
Let $R$ be a commutative ring, $f \in R[X_1,\ldots,X_k]$ a multivariate polynomial, and $G$ a finite subgroup of the group of units of $R$ satisfying a certain constraint, which always holds if $R$ is a field. Then, we evaluate $\sum…
Let $K$ be a field of characteristic zero and suppose that $f:\mathbb{N}\to K$ satisfies a recurrence of the form $$f(n)\ =\ \sum_{i=1}^d P_i(n) f(n-i),$$ for $n$ sufficiently large, where $P_1(z),...,P_d(z)$ are polynomials in $K[z]$.…
n this paper, we state several conjectures regarding distribution of primes and of pairs of primes represented by irreducible homogeneous polynomial in two variables $f(a,b)$. We formulate conjectures with respect to the slope $t=b/a$ for…
Let $r$, $n$ be positive integers, $k$ be a non-negative integer and $q$ be any prime power such that $r\mid q^n-1.$ An element $\alpha$ of the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ is called an {\it $r$-primitive} element, if its multiplicative…

We prove the first case of polynomially effective equidistribution of closed orbits of semisimple groups with nontrivial centralizer. The proof relies on uniform spectral gap, builds on, and extends work of Einsiedler, Margulis, and…

Weyl's classical equidistribution theorem states that real-valued polynomial sequences are uniformly distributed modulo 1, unless all non-constant coefficients are rational. A continuous function between two topological groups is called a…

Fibonacci polynomials are generalizations of Fibonacci numbers, so it is natural to consider polynomial versions of the various results for Fibonacci numbers. According to Hong, Pongsriiam, Bulawa, and Lee, the generating function of the…
H. Weyl proved in \cite{Weyl} that integer evaluations of polynomials are equidistributed mod 1 whenever at least one of the non-free coefficients is irrational. We use Weyl's result to prove a higher dimensional analogue of this fact.…
This paper concerns the enumeration of isomorphism classes of modules of a polynomial algebra in several variables over a finite field. This is the same as the classification of commuting tuples of matrices over a finite field up to…
In the study of the cyclicity of a function $f$ in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces an important role is played by sequences of polynomials $\{p_n\}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ called \emph{optimal polynomial approximants} (o.p.a.). For many such…
