We consider the problem of existence of polynomials with small norm. This range of problems has been extensively studied by many authors in the case of the unit circle (or a compact Abelian group), i.e. when the characters are bounded. In…

In this paper, we extend the theory of minimal limit key polynomials of valuations on the polynomial ring $\kx$. We use the theory of cuts on ordered abelian groups to show that the previous results on bounded sets of key polynomials of…

These are the notes of my lectures at the 1996 European Congress of Mathematicians. {} Polynomials appear in mathematics frequently, and we all know from experience that low degree polynomials are easier to deal with than high degree ones.…

We establish the first pointwise ergodic theorems along thin sets of prime numbers; a set with zero density with respect to the primes. For instance we will be able to achieve this with the Piatetski-Shapiro primes. Our methods will be…

There is currently a growing interest in understanding which lattice simplices have unimodal local $h^\ast$-polynomials (sometimes called box polynomials); specifically in light of their potential applications to unimodality questions for…

In this expository article we revisit the Bernstein problem for several geometric PDEs including the minimal surface, Monge-Amp\`{e}re, and special Lagrangian equations. We also discuss the minimal surface system where appropriate. The…

We show that several problems of compacting orthogonal graph drawings to use the minimum number of rows, area, length of longest edge or total edge length cannot be approximated better than within a polynomial factor of optimal in…

Let L be a finite dimensional Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic zero. We provide necessary and also some sufficient conditions in order for its Poisson center and semi-center to be polynomial algebras over…

We discuss existence of explicit search bounds for zeros of polynomials with coefficients in a number field. Our main result is a theorem about the existence of polynomial zeros of small height over the field of algebraic numbers outside of…

In the polynomial ring $T=k[y_1,...,y_n]$, with $n>1$, we bound the multiplicity of homogeneous radical ideals $I\subset (y_1^{a_1},...,y_n^{a_n})$ such that $T/I$ is a graded $k$-algebra with Krull dimension one. As a consequence we solve…

We reveal a complexity chasm, separating the trinomial and tetranomial cases, for solving univariate sparse polynomial equations over certain local fields. First, for any fixed field $K\in\{\mathbb{Q}_2,\mathbb{Q}_3,\mathbb{Q}_5,\ldots\}$,…

We prove a lower bound on the canonical height associated to polynomials over number fields evaluated at points with infinite forward orbit. The lower bound depends only on the degree of the polynomial, the degree of the number field, and…

We present a simple proof on the existence of $L^1$-flat analytic polynomials with coefficients $0,1$ on the circle and on the real line and we give an example of a conservative ergodic map and flow whose unitary operators admits a simple…

Let $K$ be any field, and let $E$ be any graph. We explicitly construct the projective resolution of simple left modules over the Leavitt path algebra $L_K(E)$ associated to cycles and irreducible polynomials. Then we study the dimension of…

We investigate the boundedness of Fourier multipliers on a compact Lie group when acting on Triebel-Lizorkin spaces. Criteria are given in terms of the H\"ormander-Mihlin-Marcinkiewicz condition. In our analysis, we use the difference…

We show that a $d$-dimensional polyhedron $S$ in $\real^d$ can be represented by $d$-polynomial inequalities, that is, $S = \{x \in \real^d : p_0(x) \ge 0, >..., p_{d-1}(x) \ge 0 \}$, where $p_0,...,p_{d-1}$ are appropriate polynomials.…

Let M be a 3-manifold (possibly with boundary). We show that, for any positive integer g, there exists an open nonempty set of metrics on M for each of which there are stable compact embedded minimal surfaces of genus g with arbitrarily…

For any compact set $K$ lying on a closed surface $\mathcal{S}$ we introduce a closed equivalence relation $\sim$, called the {\em Sch\"onflies equivalence} on $K$. We show that every class $[x]_\sim$ of $\sim$ is a continuum and that the…

We study rational homology groups of one-point compactifications of spaces of complex monic polynomials with multiple roots. These spaces are indexed by number partitions. A standard reformulation in terms of quotients of orbit arrangements…

We consider (compact or noncompact) Lorentzian manifolds whose holonomy group has compact closure. Among other results, we obtain that this property is equivalent to admitting a parallel timelike vector field. We also derive some properties…
