An alternative and combinatorial proof is given for a connection between a system of Hahn polynomials and identities for symmetric elements in the Heisenberg algebra, which was first observed by Bender, Mead, and Pinsky [Phys. Rev. Lett. 56…
We present a new effective Nullstellensatz with bounds for the degrees which depend not only on the number of variables and on the degrees of the input polynomials but also on an additional parameter called the {\it geometric degree of the…
We investigate special values of Goss L-functions for Dirichlet characters at s=1 over rings of class number one and prove results on their transcendence and algebraic independence.
In this paper, we prove that $\boldsymbol{\zeta}$ cannot be a solution to any nontrivial algebraic differential equation whose coefficients are polynomials in $\boldsymbol{\Gamma},\boldsymbol{\Gamma}^{(n)}$ and $\boldsymbol{\Gamma}^{(\ell…
We show that Hilbert's Nullstellensatz, the problem of deciding if a system of multivariate polynomial equations has a solution in the algebraic closure of the underlying field, lies in the counting hierarchy. More generally, we show that…
In the first part of this expository paper, we present and discuss the interplay of Dirichlet polynomials in some classical problems of number theory, notably the Lindel\"of Hypothesis. We review some typical properties of their means and…
The Stern polynomials defined by $s(0;x)=0$, $s(1;x)=1$, and for $n\geq 1$ by $s(2n;x)=s(n;x^2)$ and $s(2n+1;x)=x\,s(n;x^2)+s(n+1;x^2)$ have only 0 and 1 as coefficients. We construct an infinite lower-triangular matrix related to the…
Given an integer $k\geq 3$ and an initial $k-1$ isolated vertices, an {\em antiregular $k$-hypergraph} is constructed by alternatively adding an isolated vertex (connected to no other vertices) or a dominating vertex (connected to every…
We construct a set $M_d$ whose points parametrize families of Meixner polynomials in $d$ variables. There is a natural bispectral involution $b$ on $M_d$ which corresponds to a symmetry between the variables and the degree indices of the…
We provide a general result for the algebraic independence of Mahler functions by a new method based on asymptotic analysis. As a consequence of our method, these results hold not only over $\mathbb{C}(z)$, but also over…
The breakthrough paper of Croot, Lev, Pach \cite{CLP} on progression-free sets in $\Z_4^n$ introduced a polynomial method that has generated a wealth of applications, such as Ellenberg and Gijswijt's solutions to the cap set problem…
By using the elementary symmetric polynomials and some results of number theory, we solve the well known problem of Lehmer on Euler's totient function. As application, we obtain a new characterization of prime numbers.
A class of second order difference (discrete) operators with a partial algebraization of the spectrum is introduced. The eigenfuncions of the algebraized part of the spectrum are polinomials (discrete polinomials). Such difference operators…
We prove that star-like limit cycles of any planar polynomial system can also be seen either as solutions defined on a given interval of a new associated planar non-autonomous polynomial system or as heteroclinic solutions of a…
A collection of $k$ sets is said to form a $k$-sunflower, or $\Delta$-system, if the intersection of any two sets from the collection is the same, and we call a family of sets $\mathcal{F}$ sunflower-free if it contains no sunflowers.…
The Chowla--Milnor conjecture predicts the linear independence of certain Hurwitz zeta values. In this paper, we prove that for any fixed integer $k \geqslant 2$, the dimension of the $\mathbb{Q}$-linear span of…
We address some questions concerning indecomposable polynomials and their behaviour under specialization. For instance we give a bound on a prime $p$ for the reduction modulo $p$ of an indecomposable polynomial $P(x)\in \Zz[x]$ to remain…
We revise the symmetries of the Zernike polynomials that determine the Lie algebra su(1,1) + su(1,1). We show how they induce discrete as well continuous bases that coexist in the framework of rigged Hilbert spaces. We also discuss some…
Let $f_{1}, \ldots, f_{k}$ be polynomials defining an algebraic set in affine $n$-space over a finite field. Suppose $k>n$. We prove that there exists a system of polynomials $g_{1}, \ldots, g_{n}$, each being a linear combination with…
The goal of this paper is to develop a Heine-Stieltjes theory for univariate linear differential operators of higher order. Namely, for a given given operator T=\sum_i Q_i(z)d^i/dz^i with polynomial coefficients Q_i(z) set r=max_i (deg…
