Here we follow the basic analysis that is common for real and complex variables and find how it can be applied to a quaternionic variable. Non-commutativity of the quaternion algebra poses obstacles for the usual manipulations; but we show…

Let $\mathbb{Z}_K$ denote the ring of integers of the number field $K = \mathbb{Q}(\theta)$, where $\theta$ is a root of the monic irreducible polynomial $f(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$. We say that $f(x)$ is monogenic if $\mathbb{Z}_K =…

We construct families of explicit polynomials f with rational coefficients that are sums of squares of polynomials over the real numbers, but not over the rational numbers. Whether or not such examples exist was an open question originally…

We study the case of a real homogeneous polynomial $P$ whose minimal real and complex decompositions in terms of powers of linear forms are different. We prove that, if the sum of the complex and the real ranks of $P$ is at most $…

Most of theoretical physics is based on the mathematics of functions of a real or a complex variable; yet we frequently are drawn to try extending our reach to include quaternions. The non-commutativity of the quaternion algebra poses…

For any finite field $\mathbb{F}$ and any positive integer $n$ we count the number of monic polynomials of degree $n$ over $\mathbb{F}$ with nonzero constant coefficient and a self-reciprocal factor of any specified degree. An application…

A monic polynomial $f(x)\in {\mathbb Z}[x]$ of degree $N$ is called monogenic if $f(x)$ is irreducible over ${\mathbb Q}$ and $\{1,\theta,\theta^2,\ldots ,\theta^{N-1}\}$ is a basis for the ring of integers of ${\mathbb Q}(\theta)$, where…

For an even integer $k\geq 2$, let $f$ be a primitive holomorphic cusp form of weight $k$ for the full modular group $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ and let $\lambda_{{\rm{sym}}^jf}(n)$ denote the $n^\text{th}$ normalized Fourier coefficient of the…

We relate the condition numbers of computing three decompositions of symmetric tensors: the canonical polyadic decomposition, the Waring decomposition, and a Tucker-compressed Waring decomposition. Based on this relation we can speed up the…

A quaternary quartic form, a quartic form in four variables, is the dual socle generator of an Artinian Gorenstein ring of codimension and regularity 4. We present a classification of quartic forms in terms of rank and powersum…

We study a one-parameter family of vector-valued polynomials associated to each simple Lie algebra. When this parameter $q$ equals -1 one recovers Joseph polynomials, whereas at $q$ cubic root of unity one obtains ground state eigenvectors…

The desmic pencil of quartic surfaces is part of a beautiful, but mostly forgotten chapter of the classical theory of algebraic surfaces: it is the only non-degenerate pencil of surfaces in P3 containing at least three completely reducible…

If $X\subset \mathbb{P}^n$ is a projective non degenerate variety, the $X$-rank of a point $P\in \mathbb{P}^n$ is defined to be the minimum integer $r$ such that $P$ belongs to the span of $r$ points of $X$. We describe the complete…

We investigate some Galois groups of linearized polynomials over fields such as $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$. The space of roots of such a polynomial is a module for its Galois group. We present a realization of the symmetric powers of this module, as…

Let $q$ be a prime power. We construct stable polynomials of the form $b^{m-1}(x+a)^m+c(x+a)+d$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ for $m=2,3,4$ by Capelli's lemma. When $m=3$ and $q$ is even, we confirm the conjecture of Ahmadi and…

We determine the structure of the graded ring of Siegel modular forms of degree 3. It is generated by 19 modular forms, among which we identify a homogeneous system of parameters with 7 forms of weights 4, 12, 12, 14, 18, 20 and 30. We also…

In this article we compute the $q$th power values of the quadratic polynomials $f$ with negative squarefree discriminant such that $q$ is coprime to the class number of the splitting field of $f$ over $\mathbb{Q}$. The theory of unique…

We show that the higher Pythagoras numbers for the polynomial ring are infinite $p_{2s}(K[x_1,x_2,\dots,x_n])=\infty$ provided that $K$ is a formally real field, $n\geq2$ and $s\geq 1$. This almost fully solves an old question \cite[Problem…

Let $f(x)\in {\mathbb Z}[x]$ be a monic polynomial of degree $N$ that is irreducible over ${\mathbb Q}$. We say $f(x)$ is \emph{monogenic} if $\Theta=\{1,\theta,\theta^2,\ldots ,\theta^{N-1}\}$ is a basis for the ring of integers ${\mathbb…

We study the set $\mathcal{L}_{F}$ of all $F$-vector spaces $L(P)$ where $P$ is monic and splits over $F$ and $L(Q)$ denotes the set of linear recurrence sequences over $F$ with characteristic polynomial $Q$. We show that $\mathcal{L}_{F}$…
