We discuss a conjecture concerning the enumeration of nonsingular matrices over a finite field that are block companion and whose order is the maximum possible in the corresponding general linear group. A special case is proved using some…

The Furstenberg-S\'ark\"ozy theorem asserts that the difference set $E-E$ of a subset $E \subset \mathbb{N}$ with positive upper density intersects the image set of any polynomial $P \in \mathbb{Z}[n]$ for which $P(0)=0$. Furstenberg's…

Consider a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ and positive integers $d,m,r$ with $1\leq r\leq \binom{m+d}{d}$. Let $S_d(m)$ be the $\mathbb{F}_q$ vector space of all homogeneous polynomials of degree $d$ in $X_0,\dots,X_m$. Let $e_r(d,m)$ be the…

We prove various results on the size and structure of subsets of vector spaces over finite fields which, in some sense, have too many mutually orthogonal pairs of vectors. In particular, we obtain sharp finite field variants of a theorem of…

Sequences that are defined by multisums of hypergeometric terms with compact support occur frequently in enumeration problems of combinatorics, algebraic geometry and perturbative quantum field theory. The standard recipe to study the…

Vershik and Kerov gave asymptotical bounds for the maximal and the typical dimensions of irreducible representations of symmetric groups $S_n$. It was conjectured by G. Olshanski that the maximal and the typical dimensions of the isotypic…

We study some counting questions concerning products of positive integers $u_1, \ldots, u_n$ which form a non-zero perfect square, or more generally, a perfect $k$-th power. We obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of such integers of…

In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of the maximum magnitude of a complex random polynomial with i.i.d. uniformly distributed random roots on the unit circle. More specifically, let $\{n_k\}_{k=1}^{\infty}$ be an infinite…

Using an elementary identity, we prove that for infinitely many polynomials $P(x)\in \mathbb{Z}[X]$ of fourth degree, the equation $\prod\limits_{k=1}^{n}P(k)=y^2$ has finitely many solutions in $\mathbb{Z}$. We also give an example of a…

In the present paper, we provide a new analogy between number fields and 1-dimensional function fields over finite fields from the viewpoint that the maximal cyclotomic extension of a number field is analogous to the constant field…

We establish a new asymptotic formula for the number of polynomials of degree $n$ with $k$ prime factors over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. The error term tends to $0$ uniformly in $n$ and in $q$, and $k$ can grow beyond $\log n$.…

We study a finite analog of a conjecture of Erd\"os on the sum of the squared multiplicities of the distances determined by an $n$-element point set. Our result is based on an estimate of the number of hinges in spectral graphs.

We develop a theory of sesquilinear forms over finite fields, investigating their representations via polynomials and coefficient matrices, along with classification results for these forms. Through their connection to quadratic forms, we…

We give a simple proof of a classical theorem by A.M\'at\'e, P.Nevai, and V.Totik on asymptotic behavior of orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle. It is based on a new real-variable approach involving an entropy estimate for the…

We establish upper bounds on the size of the largest subset of $\{1,2,\dots,N\}$ lacking nonzero differences of the form $h(p_1,\dots,p_{\ell})$, where $h\in \mathbb{Z}[x_1,\dots,x_{\ell}]$ is a fixed polynomial satisfying appropriate…

In this paper we prove some results on sum-product estimates over arbitrary finite fields. More precisely, we show that for sufficiently small sets $A\subset \mathbb{F}_q$ we have \[|(A-A)^2+(A-A)^2|\gg |A|^{1+\frac{1}{21}}.\] This can be…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ denote the ring of polynomials over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Building off of techniques of Balog and Ruzsa and of Keil in the integer setting, we determine the precise order of magnitude of $k$th moments of…

This paper deals with the following problem. Given a finite extension of fields $\mathbb{L}/\mathbb{K}$ and denoting the trace map from $\mathbb{L}$ to $\mathbb{K}$ by $\mathrm{Tr}$, for which elements $z$ in $\mathbb{L}$, and $a$, $b$ in…
