Given a complex polynomial $P$ with zeroes $z_1,\dotsc,z_d$, we show that the asymptotic zero-counting measure of the iterated derivatives $Q^{(n)}, \ n=1,2,\dotsc$, where $Q=R/P$ is any irreducible rational function, converges to an…

In his shire theorem, G. P\'olya proves that the zeros of iterated derivatives of a meromorphic function in the complex plane accumulate on the union of edges of the Voronoi diagram of the poles of this function. By recasting the local…

B\o gvad and H\"agg proved that for a rational function with simple poles, the zeros of successive derivatives accumulate on the Voronoi diagram of the pole set, and the normalized zero-counting measures converge to a canonical probability…

We prove a Polya-Vinogradov type variation of the the Chebotarev density theorem for function fields over finite fields valid for "incomplete intervals" $I \subset \mathbb{F}_p$, provided $(p^{1/2}\log p)/|I| = o(1)$. Applications include…

We give an explicit formula for the logarithmic potential of the asymptotic zero-counting measure of the sequence $\left\{\frac{\mathrm{d}^n}{\mathrm{d}z^n}\left(R(z)\exp{T(z)}\right)\right\}$. Here, $R(z)$ is a rational function with at…

We study the effect on the zeros of generating functions of sequences under certain non-linear transformations. Characterizations of P\'olya--Schur type are given of the transformations that preserve the property of having only real and…

An exponential polynomial of order $q$ is an entire function of the form $$ f(z)=P_1(z)e^{Q_1(z)}+\cdots +P_k(z)e^{Q_k(z)}, $$ where the coefficients $P_j(z),Q_j(z)$ are polynomials in $z$ such that $$ \max\{\deg{Q_j}\}=q. $$ In 1977…

First we give here a simple proof of a remarkable result of Videnskii and Shirokov: let $B$ be a Blaschke product with $n$ zeros, then there exists an outer function $\phi, \phi(0)=1$, such that $\|(B\phi)'\| \leq C n$, where $C$ is an…

We prove that a theorem of Pawlucki, showing that Whitney regularity for a subanalytic set with a smooth singular locus of codimension one implies the set is a finite union of differentiable manifolds with boundary, applies to definable…

We establish a joint distribution result concerning the fractional part of $\alpha p^\theta$ for $\theta \in (0,1), \ \alpha>0$, where $p$ is a prime satisfying a Chebotarev condition in a fixed finite Galois extension over $\mathbb{Q}$. As…

We characterize all linear operators on finite or infinite-dimensional polynomial spaces that preserve the property of having the zero set inside a prescribed region $\Omega\subseteq \mathbb{C}$ for arbitrary closed circular domains…

We prove a new effective Chebotarev density theorem for Galois extensions $L/\mathbb{Q}$ that allows one to count small primes (even as small as an arbitrarily small power of the discriminant of $L$); this theorem holds for the Galois…

We prove the following higher-order Szego theorems: if a measure on the unit circle has absolutely continuous part $w(\theta)$ and Verblunsky coefficients $\alpha$ with square-summable variation, then for any positive integer $m$, $\int…

We show that for a real transcendental meromorphic function f, the differential polynomial f'+f^m with m > 4 has infinitely many non-real zeros. Similar results are obtained for differential polynomials f'f^m-1. We specially investigate the…

Laguerre's theorem regarding the number of non-real zeros of a polynomial and its image under certain linear operators is generalized. This generalization is then used to (1) exhibit a number of previously undiscovered complex zero…

We prove that the Szeg\H{o} function, $D(z)$, of a measure on the unit circle is entire meromorphic if and only if the Verblunsky coefficients have an asymptotic expansion in exponentials. We relate the positions of the poles of $D(z)^{-1}$…

We generalize the Sarkozy-Furstenberg theorem on squares in difference sets of integers, and show that, given any positive definite function f:Z_N->C with density at least r(N), where r(N)=O((\log N)^{-c}), there is a perfect square s<=N/2…

We present a complete theory of the asymptotics of the zeros of OPUC with Verblunsky coefficients $\alpha_n = \sum_{\ell=1}^L C_\ell b_\ell^n + O((b\Delta)^n)$ where $\Delta <1$ and $\abs{b_\ell} = b<1$.

P\'olya's enumeration theorem is concerned with counting labeled sets up to symmetry. Given a finite group acting on a finite set of labeled elements it states that the number of labeled sets up to symmetry is given by a polynomial in the…

We consider the growth of the norms of transfer matrices of ergodic discrete Schr\"odinger operators in one dimension. It is known that the set of energies at which the rate of exponential growth is slower than prescribed by the Lyapunov…
