We propose a randomized polynomial time algorithm for computing nontrivial zeros of quadratic forms in 4 or more variables over $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$, where $\mathbb{F}_q$ is a finite field of odd characteristic. The algorithm is based on a…

Let $f\in \mathbb{Q}(x)$ be a non-constant rational function. We consider "Waring's Problem for $f(x)$," i.e., whether every element of $\bbq$ can be written as a bounded sum of elements of $\{f(a)\mid a\in \mathbb{Q}\}$. For rational…

Singular vectors of a representation of a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra are weight vectors in the underlying module that are nullified by positive root vectors. In this article, we use partial differential equations to find all the…

The four types of homogeneity -- additive, multiplicative, exponential, and logarithmic -- are generalized as transformations describing how a function $f$ changes under scaling or shifting of its arguments. These generalized homogeneity…

The satisfactory development of Quaternionic Analysis has indicated new solutions for physical and mathematical problems. It is worth mentioning the fact that quaternions possess four dimensions, and in this way they may be considered as…

This is an addition to a series of papers [FL1, FL2, FL3, FL4], where we develop quaternionic analysis from the point of view of representation theory of the conformal Lie group and its Lie algebra. In this paper we develop split…

Let $f$ be a normalized primitive Hecke eigen cusp form of even integral weight $k$ for the full modular group $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$. For integers $j \geq 2$, let $\lambda_{sym^j f}(m)$ denote the $m$th Fourier coefficient of the $j$th…

Consider an absolutely irreducible polynomial $F(Y,X_1,\ldots,X_n) \in \mathbb{Z}[Y,X_1,\ldots,X_n]$ that is monic in $Y$ and is a polynomial in $Y^m$ for an integer $m \geq 1$. Let $N(F,B)$ count the number of $\mathbf{x} \in [-B,B]^n \cap…

We consider sequences of random variables whose probability generating functions are polynomials all of whose roots lie on the unit circle. The distribution of such random variables has only been sporadically studied in the literature. We…

We compute the graded rank of the cohomology of the hyperplane complement associated with a quaternionic reflection group, and observe that it factors into irreducible factors with positive integer coefficients. For an irreducible group,…

A promising theory of quaternion-valued functions of one quaternionic variable, now called slice regular functions, has been introduced in 2006. The basic examples of slice regular functions are power series centered at 0 on their balls of…

Let $f$ be a half-integral weight cusp form of level $4N$ for odd and squarefree $N$ and let $a(n)$ denote its $n^{\rm th}$ normalized Fourier coefficient. Assuming that all the coefficients $a(n)$ are real, we study the sign of $a(n)$ when…

We give a sufficient condition for the strong symmetric version of Strassen's additivity conjecture: the Waring rank of a sum of forms in independent variables is the sum of their ranks, and every Waring decomposition of the sum is a sum of…

We are concerned with power series in 1/T over a finite field of 3 elements $\F_3$. In a previous article, Alain Lasjaunias investigated the existence of particular power series of elements algebraic over $\F_3[T]$, having all partial…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ be the ring of polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_q$, the finite field of $q$ elements, and let $p$ be the characteristic of $\mathbb{F}_q$. We denote $\widetilde{G}_q(k)$ to be the least integer $t_0$ with the property that…

We study a family of birational maps of smooth affine quadric 3-folds, {over the complex numbers}, of the form $x_1x_4-x_2x_3=$ constant, which seems to have some (among many others) interesting/unexpected characters: a) they are…

In this note we show that the complete symmetric polynomials are dual generators of compressed artinian Gorenstein algebras satisfying the Strong Lefschetz Property. This is the first example of an explicit dual form with these properties.…

Given a polynomial endomorphism F of the n-dimensional affine space over a field K, we define a sequence of polynomial endomorphisms of the affine space associated to F. We call F nice if there exists an integer m such that the m-th term of…

We consider polynomials of bi-degree $(n,1)$ over the skew field of quaternions where the indeterminates commute with each other and with all coefficients. Polynomials of this type do not generally admit factorizations. We recall a…

If a noncommutative polynomial $f$ is neither an identity nor a central polynomial of $\mathcal A=M_n(\C)$, then every trace zero matrix in $\mathcal A$ can be written as a sum of two matrices from $f(\mathcal A)-f(\mathcal A)$. Moreover,…
