The approximate degree of a Boolean function f is the least degree of a real polynomial that approximates f pointwise to error at most 1/3. Approximate degree is known to be a lower bound on quantum query complexity. We resolve or nearly…
We establish an effective Bertini-type theorem for hypersurfaces $X_f \colon f = 0$ defined over a finite field $k$ for which $f$ has no linear factors over the algebraic closure $\overline{k}$. Given a line $L$ defined over $k$ and a…
We determine a necessary and sufficient condition for a polynomial over an algebraically closed field $k$ to induce a surjective map on matrix algebras $M_n(k)$ for $n \ge 2$. The criterion is given in terms of critical points and uses…
Let $G$ be a Cameron--Walker graph on $n$ vertices and $J_G$ the binomial edge ideal of $G$. Let $S$ denote the polynomial ring in $2n$ variables over a field. It is shown that the following conditions are equivalent: (i) $S/J_G$ is…
Given a graph $G$, we would like to find (if it exists) the largest induced subgraph $H$ in which there are at least $k$ vertices realizing the maximum degree of $H$. This problem was first posed by Caro and Yuster. They proved, for…
The direct or algorithmic approach for the Jacobian problem, consisting of the direct construction of the inverse polynomials is proposed. The so called principle and derived Jacobi conditions are proposed and discussed. The algorithmic…
Let $ f: \mathbb{R} ^ n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^n $ be a Lipschitz mapping with generalized Jacobian at $x_0$, denoted by $\partial f(x_0)$, is of maximal rank. F. H. Clarke (1976) proved that $f$ is locally invertible. In this paper, we…
Assume $G$ is a graph and $k$ is a positive integer. Let $f:V(G)\to \mathbb{N}$ be defined as $f(v)=\min\{k,d_G(v)\}$. If $G$ is $f$-choosable, then we say $G$ is degree-truncated $k$-choosable. Answering a question of Richter, it was…
Let $p$ be a prime divisor of the order of a finite group $G$. Then $G$ has at least $2 \sqrt{p-1}$ complex irreducible characters of degrees prime to $p$. In case $p$ is a prime with $\sqrt{p-1}$ an integer this bound is sharp for…
A field $k$ is called large if every irreducible $k$-curve with a $k$-rational smooth point has infinitely many $k$-points. Let $k$ be a perfect large field and let $f \in k[x]$. Consider the evaluation map $f_k: k \to k$. Assume that $f_k$…
In this paper we study the (classical) Frobenius problem, namely the problem of finding the largest integer that cannot be represented as a nonnegative integral combination of given relatively prime (strictly) positive integers (known as…
Let K be F_q((T)), or more generally any field of characteristic p equipped with a valuation having a finite residue field of q elements. Then a polynomial f(x) in K[x] having k+1 nonzero coefficients has at most q^k distinct zeros in K. We…
In this paper I prove that for any prime $p$ there is a constant $C_p>0$ such that for any $n>0$ and for any $p$-power $q$ there is a smooth, projective, absolutely irreducible curve over $\mathbb{F}_q$ of genus $g\leq C_p q^n$ without…
A graph $G$ contains another graph $H$ as an immersion if $H$ can be obtained from a subgraph of $G$ by splitting off edges and removing isolated vertices. There is an obvious necessary degree condition for the immersion containment: if $G$…
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 show that the counting class LWPP [FFK94] remains unchanged even if one allows a polynomial number of gap values rather than one. On the other hand, we show that it is impossible to improve this from polynomially many gap values to a…
We consider the question of certifying that a polynomial in ${\mathbb Z}[x]$ or ${\mathbb Q}[x]$ is irreducible. Knowing that a polynomial is irreducible lets us recognise that a quotient ring is actually a field extension (equiv.~that a…
We show that $\lim_{t \to 0} e^{it\Delta}f(x) = f(x)$ almost everywhere for all $f \in H^s (\mathbb{R}^2)$ provided that $s>1/3$. This result is sharp up to the endpoint. The proof uses polynomial partitioning and decoupling.
We study permutation-invariant embeddings of $d$-dimensional point sets, which are defined by sorting $D$ independent one-dimensional projections of the input. Such embeddings arise in graph deep learning where outputs should be invariant…
