We give an account of our work on transitive factorizations of permutations. The work has had impact upon other areas of mathematics such as the enumeration of graph embeddings, random matrices, branched covers, and the moduli spaces of…
In this paper we introduce a method of characteristic sets with respect to several term orderings for difference-differential polynomials. Using this technique, we obtain a method of computation of multivariate dimension polynomials of…
It is shown that, under some mild technical conditions, representations of prime numbers by binary quadratic forms can be computed in polynomial complexity by exploiting Schoof's algorithm, which counts the number of $\mathbb F_q$-points of…
We formulate a conjecture concerning spectral factorization of a class of trigonometric polynomials of two variables and prove it for special cases. Our method uses relations between the distribution of values of a polynomial of two…
We study product sets of finite arithmetic progressions of polynomials over a finite field. We prove a lower bound for the size of the product set, uniform in a wide range of parameters. We apply our results to resolve the function field…
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…
An observation on Hall-Littlewood polynomials.
We study the factorization of the Hilbert series and more general graded traces of a Nichols algebra into cyclotomic polynomials. Nichols algebras play the role of Borel subalgebras of finite-dimensional quantum groups, so this observation…
In this paper, we construct several new permutation polynomials over finite fields. First, using the linearized polynomials, we construct the permutation polynomial of the form $\sum_{i=1}^k(L_{i}(x)+\gamma_i)h_i(B(x))$ over ${\bf…
The Hilbert class polynomial has as roots the j-invariants of elliptic curves whose endomorphism ring is a given imaginary quadratic order. It can be used to compute elliptic curves over finite fields with a prescribed number of points.…
We consider elliptic partial differential equations with diffusion coefficients that depend affinely on countably many parameters. We study the summability properties of polynomial expansions of the function mapping parameter values to…
In this paper, we present a linear algebraic approach to the study of permutation polynomials that arise from linear maps over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$. We study a particular class of permutation polynomials over…
In this paper, we revisit approximation properties of piecewise polynomial spaces, which contain more than ${\cal P}_{r-1}$ but not ${\cal P}_r$. We develop more accurate upper and lower error bounds that are sharper than those used in…
In this paper, a new method to compute a B\'ezier curve of degree n = 2m-1 is introduced, here formulated as a set of points whose coordinates are calculated from two Hankel forms in $\C^m$. From Vandermonde factorizations of the two…
A sharp bound is obtained for the number of ways to express the monomial $X^n$ as a product of linear factors over $\mathbb{Z}/p^{\alpha}\mathbb{Z}$. The proof relies on an induction-on-scale procedure which is used to estimate the number…
It is shown that there are finitely many perfect powers in an elliptic divisibility sequence whose first term is divisible by 2 or 3. For Mordell curves the same conclusion is shown to hold if the first term is greater than 1. Examples of…
This brief note corrects some errors in the paper quoted in the title, highlights a combinatorial result which may have been overlooked, and points to further improvements in recent literature.
We improve upper bounds of F. R. K. Chung and of M. Lu, D. Wan, L.-P. Wang, X.-D. Zhang on the diameter of some Cayley graphs constructed from polynomials over finite fields.
We obtain nontrivial estimates of quadratic character sums of division polynomials $\Psi_n(P)$, $n=1,2, ...$, evaluated at a given point $P$ on an elliptic curve over a finite field of $q$ elements. Our bounds are nontrivial if the order of…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ denote the ring of polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_q$, the finite field of $q$ elements. We prove an estimate for fractional parts of polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ satisfying a certain divisibility condition…
