Let $n=2g+2$ be a positive even integer, $f(x)$ a degree $n$ complex polynomial without multiple roots and $C_f: y^2=f(x)$ the corresponding genus $g$ hyperelliptic curve over the field $\C$ of complex numbers. Let a $(g-1)$-dimensional…
A polynomial $P \in \mathbb{C}[z_1, \ldots, z_d]$ is strongly $\mathbb{D}^d$-stable if $P$ has no zeroes in the closed unit polydisc $\overline{\mathbb{D}}^d.$ For such a polynomial define its spectral density function as…
We prove an irreducibility criterion for polynomials of the form $h(x)=x^{2m} + bx^m + c_1 \in F[x]$ relating to the Dickson polynomials of the first kind $D_p$. In the case when $F = \mathbb{Q}$, $m$ is a prime $p>3$, and $c_1=c^p$, for…
We prove Odoni's conjecture in all prime degrees; namely, we prove that for every positive prime $p$, there exists a degree $p$ polynomial $\varphi\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$ with surjective arboreal Galois representation. We also show that Vojta's…
We study the homogeneous artinian ideals of the polynomial ring $K[x,y,z]$, generated by the homogenous polynomials of degree $d$ which are invariant under an action of the cyclic group $\mathbb Z/d\mathbb Z$, for any $d\geq 3$. We prove…
For every nonconstant polynomial $f\in\mathbb Q[x]$, let $\Phi_{4,f}$ denote the fourth dynatomic polynomial of $f$. We determine here the structure of the Galois group and the degrees of the irreducible factors of $\Phi_{4,f}$ for every…
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…
For a polynomial $f = x_1^n + \dots + x_N^n$ let $G_f$ be the non--abelian maximal group of symmetries of $f$. This is a group generated by all $g \in \mathrm{GL}(N,\mathbb{C})$, rescaling and permuting the variables, so that $f(\mathbf{x})…
Consider a monic polynomial of degree $n$ whose subleading coefficients are independent, identically distributed, nondegenerate random variables having zero mean, unit variance, and finite moments of all orders, and let $m \geq 0$ be a…
In this paper we obtain new quantitative forms of Hilbert's Irreducibility Theorem. In particular, we show that if $f(X, T_1, \ldots, T_s)$ is an irreducible polynomial with integer coefficients, having Galois group $G$ over the function…
We consider a polynomial h(x,y) in two complex variables of degree n+1>1 with a generic higher homogeneous part. The rank of the first homology group of its nonsingular level curve h(x,y)=t is n*n. To each 1- form in the variable space and…
Let $f(x)=x^{12}+ax^6+b \in \mathbb{Q}[x]$ be an irreducible polynomial, $g_4(x)=x^4+ax^2+b$, $g_6(x)=x^6+ax^3+b$, and let $G_4$ and $G_6$ be the Galois group of $g_4(x)$ and $g_6(x)$, respectively. Building upon known characterizations of…

There exist homogeneous polynomials $f$ with $\mathbb Q$-coefficients that are sums of squares over $\mathbb R$ but not over $\mathbb Q$. The only systematic construction of such polynomials that is known so far uses as its key ingredient…
Let f(x) = x^n + (a[n-1] t + b[n-1]) x^(n-1) + ... + (a[0] t + b[0]) be of constant degree n in x and degree <= 1 in t, where all a[i],b[i] are randomly and uniformly selected from a finite field GF(q) of q elements. Then the probability…
We extend several predecessor works on even sextic monogenic polynomials. In particular, we prove a conjecture of Lenny Jones, thereby classifying even sextic monogenic polynomials with cyclic Galois group. This result is key to completing…
We prove the existence of abelian varieties over $\overline{\mathbb Q(t)}$ with no power isogenous to a Jacobian. Moreover, given a positive integer $N$, we prove the existence of abelian varieties over $\overline{\mathbb Q(t)}$ with…
Given an irreducible bivariate polynomial $f(t,x)\in \mathbb{Q}[t,x]$, what groups $H$ appear as the Galois group of $f(t_0,x)$ for infinitely many $t_0\in \mathbb{Q}$? How often does a group $H$ as above appear as the Galois group of…
We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for a quadratic polynomial to be irreducible in the ring $Z[[x]]$ of formal power series with integer coefficients. For $n,m\ge 1$ and $p$ prime, we show that $p^n+p^m\beta x+\alpha x^2$ is…
