In this manuscript we prove that if two cuspidal plane curves have equivalent braid monodromy factorizations, then they are smoothly isotopic in the plane. As a consequence of this and the Chisini conjecture, we obtain that if two…

In this article, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for a polynomial of degree $n$ to have exactly $n$ real roots. A complete study of polynomials of degree five is carried out. The results are compared with those obtained…

We prove that if all roots of the discrete Wronskian with step 1 of a set of quasi-exponentials with real bases are real, simple and differ by at least 1, then the complex span of this set of quasi-exponentials has a basis consisting of…

Let G be a graph in a 3-manifold M. We compress the pair (M,G) along admissible 2-spheres as long as possible. What we get is a root of (M,G). Our main result is that for any pair (M,G) the root exists and is unique. As a corollary we get…

We study the asymptotic distribution of roots of Lommel polynomials as polynomials of the order with a variable and purely imaginary argument. The roots are complex and accumulate on certain curves in the complex plane. We prove existence…

Many statistics of roots of random polynomials have been studied in the literature, but not much is known on the concentration aspect. In this note we present a systematic study of this question, aiming towards nearly optimal bounds to some…

We review the polynomial parameterization of classical knots and prove the analogous results for long $2$ knots. We also construct polynomial parameterizations for certain classes of knotted spheres (such as spun and twist spun of the…

Let $c_1(x),c_2(x),f_1(x),f_2(x)$ be polynomials with rational coefficients. With obvious exceptions, there can be at most finitely many roots of unity among the zeros of the polynomials $c_1(x)f_1(x)^n+c_2(x)f_2(x)^n$ with $n=1,2\ldots$.…

It is shown that, under some natural assumptions, the tensor product of differentially smooth algebras and the skew-polynomial rings over differentially smooth algebras are differentially smooth.

We prove here the smoothness and the irreducibility of the periodic dynatomic curves $ (c,z)\in \C^2$ such that $z$ is $n$-periodic for $z^d+c$, where $d\geq2$. We use the method provided by Xavier Buff and Tan Lei in \cite{BT} where they…

Multiplicative relations between the roots of a polynomial in $\mathbb{Q}[x]$ have drawn much attention in the field of arithmetic and algebra, while the problem of computing these relations is interesting to researchers in many other…

Orthogonal polynomials in two variables on cubic curves are considered, including the case of elliptic curves. For an integral with respect to an appropriate weight function defined on a cubic curve, an explicit basis of orthogonal…

The computation of the topology of a real algebraic plane curve is greatly simplified if there are no more than one critical point in each vertical line: the general position condition. When this condition is not satisfied, then a finite…

We show that for any uniformly parabolic fully nonlinear second-order equation with bounded measurable "coefficients" and bounded "free" term in any cylindrical smooth domain with smooth boundary data one can find an approximating equation…

Univariate polynomials with only real roots -- while special -- do occur often enough that their properties can lead to interesting conclusions in diverse areas. Due mainly to the recent work of two young mathematicians, Julius Borcea and…

We classify real families of minimal degree rational curves that cover an embedded rational surface. A corollary is that if the projective closure of a smooth surface is not biregular isomorphic to the projective closure of the unit-sphere,…

We study a set of topological roots of the local Bernstein-Sato polynomial of arbitrary plane curve singularities. These roots are characterized in terms of certain divisorial valuations and the numerical data of the minimal log resolution.…

We consider all genus 2 curves over Q given by an equation y^2 = f(x) with f a squarefree polynomial of degree 5 or 6, with integral coefficients of absolute value at most 3. For each of these roughly 200000 isomorphism classes of curves,…

In this work we consider a given root of a family of n-degree polynomials as a one-variable function that depends only on the independent term. Then we prove that this function satisfies several ordinary differential equations (ODE). More…

In this note, first we show that there is no stable quadratic polynomial over finite fields of characteristic two and then show that there exist stable quadratic polynomials over function fields of characteristic two.
