In this note, we give a simple proof that the values of the trigonometric functions at any nonzero rational number are transcendental numbers.

We show generic existence of power series a with complex coefficients a_n, such that the sequence of partial sums of a new power series where its coefficients b_n are functions of a_0, a_1, ..., a_n approximate every polynomial uniformly on…

We obtain new partial results supporting the spectral set conjecture in dimension 1.

We prove that all arrangements (consistent with the Rolle theorem and some other natural restrictions) of the real roots of a real polynomial and of its $s$-th derivative are realizable by real polynomials.

We prove the divisibility conjecture on sums of even powers of $q$-binomial coefficients, which was recently proposed by Guo, Schlosser and Zudilin. Our proof relies on two $q$-harmonic series congruences due to Shi and Pan.

We study the complete diagonal of the Laurent series expansion of a rational function in $n$-complex variables. For a denominator that is nondegenerate for its Newton polyhedron, we prove that the complete diagonal, initially defined in a…

Bernstein-Sato polynomial of a hypersurface is an important object with numerous applications. It is known, that it is complicated to obtain it computationally, as a number of open questions and challenges indicate. In this paper we propose…

In this paper, we give a new proof and an extension of the following result of B\'ezivin. Let $f:\B{N}\to K$ be a multiplicative function taking values in a field $K$ of characteristic 0 and write $F(z)=\sum_{n\geq 1} f(n)z^n\in K[[z]]$ for…

An outstanding conjecture on roots of Ehrhart polynomials says that all roots $\alpha$ of the Ehrhart polynomial of an integral convex polytope of dimension $d$ satisfy $-d \leq \Re(\alpha) \leq d-1$. In this paper, we suggest some…

A function g, with domain the natural numbers, is a quasi-polynomial if there exists a period m and polynomials p_0,p_1,...,p_{m-1} such that g(t)=p_i(t) for t=i mod m. Quasi-polynomials classically -- and "reasonably" -- appear in Ehrhart…

We prove a realization theorem for rational functions of several complex variables which extends the main theorem of M. Bessmertnyi, "On realizations of rational matrix functions of several complex variables," in Vol. 134 of Oper. Theory…

Let $Z$ be a quadratic hypersurface of $\mathbb{P}^n(\mathbb{R})$ defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ containing points whose coordinates are linearly independent over $\mathbb{Q}$. We show that, among these points, the largest exponent of uniform…

The $S$-functional calculus is based on the theory of slice hyperholomorphic functions and it defines functions of $n$-tuples of not necessarily commuting operators or of quaternionic operators. This calculus relays on the notion of…

Let $X$ be a Hausdorff compact space and $C(X)$ be the algebra of all continuous complex-valued functions on $X$, endowed with the supremum norm. We say that $C(X)$ is (approximately) $n$-th root closed if any function from $C(X)$ is…

We prove a function-field analogue of Bourgain's $L^2$ pointwise ergodic theorem. Let $q$ be a power of a prime $p$, let $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ be the ring of polynomials over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, and let $\mathbb{F}_q[t][u]$ be the…

The main object of study in this paper is the completion Z[q]^N=\varprojlim_n Z[q]/((1-q)(1-q^2)...(1-q^n)) of the polynomial ring Z[q], which arises from the study of a new invariant of integral homology 3-spheres with values in Z[q]^N…

We give a new proof for a theorem of Ehrhart regarding the quasi-polynomiality of the function that counts the number of integer points in the integral dilates of a rational polytope. The proof involves a geometric bijection,…

We present a proof of the Casas-Alvero conjecture, stating that if a complex polynomial has a root in common with each of its derivatives it must be a multiple of the power of some monomial.

By restricting the variables running over various (possibly different) subfields, we introduce the notion of a partial zeta function. We prove that the partial zeta function is rational in an interesting case, generalizing Dwork's well…

A finite number of rational functions are compatible if they satisfy the compatibility conditions of a first-order linear functional system involving differential, shift and q-shift operators. We present a theorem that describes the…
