This paper is purely expository. We present short elementary proofs of * the Gauss Theorem on constructibility of regular polygons; * the existence of a cubic equation unsolvable in real radicals; * the existence of a quintic equation…

Let $S$ be the collection of quadratic polynomial maps, and degree $2$-rational maps whose automorphism groups are isomorphic to $C_2$ defined over the rational field. Assuming standard conjectures of Poonen and Manes on the period length…

By using purely algebraic tools, we establish well-known properties of roots of Chebyshev polynomials. Especially, we show that these zeros are simple and lie in $(-1,1)$ and we prove in two ways that they are mostly irrational.

Using techniques of algebraic and analytic number theory, we resolve a question on monoid rings posed by Kulosman, et. al., under the assumption of the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH). Specifically, we show that under an appropriate…

Let $G$ be a finite group and, for a given complex character $\chi$ of $G$, let ${\mathbb{Q}}(\chi)$ denote the field extension of ${\mathbb{Q}}$ obtained by adjoining all the values $\chi(g)$, for $g\in G$. The group $G$ is called…

Consider the smooth projective models C of curves y^2=f(x) with f(x) in Z[x] monic and separable of degree 2g+1. We prove that for g >= 3, a positive fraction of these have only one rational point, the point at infinity. We prove a lower…

Spinor polynomials are polynomials with coefficients in the even sub-algebra of conformal geometric algebra whose norm polynomial is real. They describe rational conformal motions. Factorizations of spinor polynomial corresponds to the…

Presented is a two-tier analysis of the location of the real roots of the general quartic equation $x^4 + ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d = 0$ with real coefficients and the classification of the roots in terms of $a$, $b$, $c$, and $d$, without using…

It appears that, along with many of my friends and colleagues, I had been brainwashed by the great and tragic lives of Abel and Galois to believe that no general formulas are possible for roots of equations higher than quartic. This seemed…

Let K be a number field. We prove that its ray class group modulo p 2 (resp. 8) if p > 2 (resp. p = 2) characterizes its p-rationality. Then we give two short, very fast PARI Programs (\S \S 3.1, 3.2) testing if K (defined by an irreducible…

Let $X_4\subset\mathbb{P}^{n+1}$ be a quartic hypersurface of dimension $n\geq 4$ over an infinite field $k$. We show that if either $X_4$ contains a linear subspace $\Lambda$ of dimension $h\geq \max\{2,\dim(\Lambda\cap…

We raise a question on the existence of continuous roots of families of monic polynomials (by the root of a family of polynomials we mean a function of the coefficients of polynomials of a given family that maps each tuple of coefficients…

In this work, we consider rational ordinary differential equations dy/dx = Q(x,y)/P(x,y), with Q(x,y) and P(x,y) coprime polynomials with real coefficients. We give a method to construct equations of this type for which a first integral can…

Let $f(T)$ be a monic polynomial of degree $d$ with coefficients in a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Extending earlier results in the literature, but now allowing $(q,2d)>1$, we give a criterion for $f$ to satisfy the following property: for…

Let $f:\mathbb{P}^1\rightarrow\mathbb{P}^1$ be a quadratic rational map defined over the rational field $\mathbb{Q}$ with nonabelian automorphism group. We prove that no such map has a $\mathbb{Q}$-rational periodic point with exact period…

We introduce parabolic induction and restriction functors for rational Cherednik algebras, and study their basic properties. Then we discuss applications of these functors to representation theory of rational Cherednik algebras. In…

Permutation rational functions over finite fields have attracted much attention in recent years. In this paper, we introduce a class of permutation rational functions over $\mathbb F_{q^2}$, whose numerators are so-called $q$-quadratic…

We realize the Pauli group $P$ as Galois group of polynomials over the rational numbers. It is shown by construction that each pure polynomial in the infinite family of the form $X^8+k^2$ for $k\neq \lambda^2, 2\lambda^2; k,\lambda \in…

Let $p(z)$ be a monic cubic complex polynomial with distinct roots and distinct critical points. We say a critical point has the {\it Voronoi property} if it lies in the Voronoi cell of a root $\theta$, $V(\theta)$, i.e. the set of points…

Let $f,g \in k[x]$ be nonconstant polynomials over a number field $k$. We count $S$-integer inputs $a$ for which $f(a)$ has a $k$-rational preimage under $g$, after removing the polynomial graph components $Y=h(X)$ with $f=g\circ h$. The…
