It is known that a $2\times 2$ quaternionic matrix has one, two or an infinite number of left eigenvalues, but the available algebraic proofs are difficult to generalize to higher orders. In this paper a different point of view is adopted…

The border rank of the matrix multiplication operator for n by n matrices is a standard measure of its complexity. Using techniques from algebraic geometry and representation theory, we show the border rank is at least 2n^2-n. Our bounds…

Let $n$ be a positive integer and $f(x)$ be a polynomial with nonnegative integer coefficients. We prove that ${\rm lcm}_{\lceil n/2\rceil \le i\le n} \{f(i)\}\ge 2^n$ except that $f(x)=x$ and $n=1, 2, 3, 4, 6$ and that $f(x)=x^s$ with…

We show that the values of the minimal polynomials ${\phi_n}(x)$ of $4{\sin ^2}\left( {\frac{\pi }{n}} \right)$ for $x \in \left\{ {0,1,2,3,4} \right\}$ are intimately related to the prime factorization of $n.$

It is proved that the universal degree bound for separating polynomial invariants of a finite abelian group (in non-modular characteristic) is strictly smaller than the universal degree bound for generators of polynomial invariants, unless…

We establish the central limit theorem for the number of real roots of the Weyl polynomial $P_n(x)=xi_0 + xi_1 x+ ... + xi_n (n!)^{(-1/2)} x^n$, where $xi_i$ are iid Gaussian random variables. The main ingredients in the proof are new…

For an associative algebra $A$ over a field of characteristic zero, let $P_n(A)$ and $P_n^z(A)$ denote the spaces of multilinear polynomials of degree $n$ modulo the polynomial identities and the central polynomials of $A$, respectively. We…

We show that the proportion of polynomials of degree $n$ over the finite field with $q$ elements, which have a divisor of every degree below $n$, is given by $c_q n^{-1} + O(n^{-2})$. More generally, we give an asymptotic formula for the…

The interplay among the time-evolution of the coefficients and the zeros of a generic time-dependent (monic) polynomial provides a convenient tool to identify certain classes of solvable dynamical systems. Recently this tool has been…

We use a variety of computational tools to obtain a degree-$\binom{m + n - 2}{m - 1}$ polynomial equation conjecturally satisfied by the top-left entry of the Sinkhorn limit of a positive $m \times n$ matrix. The degree of this equation has…

We consider properties of polynomials with coefficients in division rings. A theorem on the decomposition of a polynomial with coefficients in an arbitrary division ring is obtained. It is shown that if a non-central element is not a root…

In this paper, I have proved that for a class of polynomial differential systems of degree n+1 ( where n is an arbitrary positive integer) the composition conjecture is true. I give the sufficient and necessary conditions for these…

Minimal annihilating polynomials are very useful in a wide variety of algorithms in exact linear algebra. A new efficient method is proposed for calculating the minimal annihilating polynomials for all the unit vectors, for a square matrix…

For each fixed value of $\beta$ in the range $-2<\beta<-1$ and $0<c<1$, we investigate interlacing properties of the zeros of polynomials of consecutive degree for $M_{n}(x;\beta,c)$ and $M_k(x,\beta+t,c)$, $k\in\{n-1,n,n+1\}$ and…

Up to linear transformations, we obtain a classification of permutation polynomials (PPs) of degree $8$ over $\mathbb{F}_{2^r}$ with $r>3$. By [J. Number Theory 176 (2017) 466-66], a polynomial $f$ of degree $8$ over $\mathbb{F}_{2^r}$ is…

In the paper, we first give the least upper bound formula on the number of centers of planar real polynomial Hamiltonian vector fields. This formula reveals that the greater the number of invariant straight lines of the vector field and the…

We answer an open question in the theory of transducer degrees initially posed in [3], on the structure of polynomial transducer degrees, in particular the question of what degrees, if any, lie below the degree of $n^3$. Transducer degrees…

We describe the weak polynomial identities of the Jordan algebra of symmetric $2\times 2$ matrices over a field of characteristic zero. The corresponding weak verbal ideal is generated by the standard identity of degree four and the…
