In this paper, we study a certain linear statistics of the unitary Laguerre ensembles, motivated in part by an integrable quantum field theory at finite temperature. It transpires that this is equivalent to the characterization of a…
How often is a quintic polynomial solvable by radicals? We establish that the number of such polynomials, monic and irreducible with integer coefficients in $[-H,H]$, is $O(H^{3.91})$. More generally, we show that if $n \ge 3$ and $n \notin…
Let $P\in\mathbb Q[t,x]$ be a polynomial in two variables with rational coefficients, and let $G$ be the Galois group of $P$ over the field $\mathbb Q(t)$. It follows from Hilbert's Irreducibility Theorem that for most rational numbers $c$…
Let $n$ be any nonnegative integer and \[ D_n^{(h)}(x)=\sum_{k=0}^{n}\binom{n+k}{2k}^{h}\binom{2k}{k}^{h}{x}^{k} \text{ and } S_{n}^{(h)}(x)=\sum_{k=0}^{n}\binom{n+k}{2k}^{h}C_{k}^{h}{x}^{k} \] be the generalized Delannoy polynomials and…
We study the asymptotic behavior of Laguerre polynomials $L_n^{(\alpha_n)}(nz)$ as $n \to \infty$, where $\alpha_n$ is a sequence of negative parameters such that $-\alpha_n/n$ tends to a limit $A > 1$ as $n \to \infty$. These polynomials…
In the present note we obtain new results on two conjectures by Csordas et al. regarding the interlacing property of zeros of special polynomials. These polynomials came from the Jacobi tau methods for the Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue…
We exhibit a family of sequences of noncommutative variables, recursively defined using monic palindromic polynomials in $\mathbb Q[x]$, and show that each possesses the Laurent phenomenon. This generalizes a conjecture by Kontsevich.
We present an algorithm to determine the Galois group of an irreducible monic polynomial $f(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ of degree at most five. Following work of Conrad, Dummit, and Stauduhar this comes down to answering two questions: Is a given…
We study some divisibility properties related to the factors of the discriminant of the characteristic polynomial of generalized Fibonacci sequences $(G_n)_{n\ge0}$ defined by $G_0=0$, $G_1=1$ and $G_n=pG_{n-1}+qG_{n-2}$ for $n\ge2$, where…
Let $ K $ be a number field, $ S $ a finite set of places of $ K $, and $ \mathcal{O}_S $ be the ring of $ S $-integers. Moreover, let $$ G_n^{(0)} Z^d + \cdots + G_n^{(d-1)} Z + G_n^{(d)} $$ be a polynomial in $ Z $ having simple linear…
The expected number of real zeros of an algebraic polynomial $a_0+a_1x+a_2x^2+a_3x^3+....+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}$ depends on the types of random coefficients, with large $n.$ In this article, we show that when the random coefficients…
Jakhar shown that for $f(x)=a_nx^n + a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+\cdot+ a_0$ ($a_0\neq 0$) is a polynomial with rational coefficients, if there exists a prime integer $p$ satisfying $\nu_p(a_n)=0$ and $n\nu_p(a_i)\ge (n-i)\nu_p(a_0)> 0$ for every $0\le…
Let $n$ be a positive integer and let $f_1, \ldots, f_r$ be polynomials in $n^2$ indeterminates over an algebraically closed field $K$. We describe an algorithm to decide if the invertible matrices contained in the variety of $f_1, \ldots,…
The Apery polynomials are defined by $A_n(x)=\sum_{k=0}^{n}{n\choose k}^2{n+k\choose k}^2 x^k$ for all nonnegative integers $n$. We confirm several conjectures of Z.-W. Sun on the congruences for the sum $\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}(-1)^k(2k+1)…
We relate the n! conjecture (by Garsia and Haiman) to the geometry of principal nilpotent pairs, and state a conjecture generalizing the n! conjecture to arbitrary semisimple algebraic groups. We also show, using Borel's fixed point…
