Generalized power sums are linear combinations of i-th powers of coordinates. We consider subalgebras of the polynomial algebra generated by generalized power sums, and study when such algebras are Cohen-Macaulay. It turns out that the…

We define a class of multivariate Laurent polynomials closely related to Chebyshev polynomials, and prove the simple but somewhat surprising (in view of the fact that the signs of the coefficients of the Chebyshev polynomials themselves…

A composition of birational maps given by Laurent polynomials need not be given by Laurent polynomials; however, sometimes---quite unexpectedly---it does. We suggest a unified treatment of this phenomenon, which covers a large class of…

In 2023, Gullerud, Johnson, and Mbirika presented results on their study of certain tridiagonal real symmetric matrices. As part of their work, they studied the roots to nonhomogeneous equations related to characteristic polynomials of…

We study properties of coefficients of a linear form, originating from a multiple integral. As a corollary, we prove Vasilyev's conjecture, connected with the problem of irrationality of the Riemann zeta function at odd integers.

We define a class of multivariate Laurent polynomials closely related to Chebyshev polynomials, and prove the simple but somewhat surprising (in view of the fact that the signs of the coefficients of the Chebyshev polynomials themselves…

Recursive algebraic construction of two infinite families of polynomials in $n$ variables is proposed as a uniform method applicable to every semisimple Lie group of rank $n$. Its result recognizes Chebyshev polynomials of the first and…

Grunewald and O'Halloran conjectured in 1993 that every complex nilpotent Lie algebra is the degeneration of another, non isomorphic, Lie algebra. We prove the conjecture for the class of nilpotent Lie algebras admitting a semisimple…

We establish an analogue of the Goldbach conjecture for Laurent polynomials with positive integer coefficients.

Laurent polynomials related to the Hahn-Exton $q$-Bessel function, which are $q$-analogues of the Lommel polynomials, have been introduced by Koelink and Swarttouw. The explicit strong moment functional with respect to which the Laurent…

We provide a new arithmetic characterization for the sequence of coefficients of algebraic power series $f(t)$ having the property that the differential equation $y'(t) = f(t) y(t)$ has algebraic solutions only. This extends a recent result…

In 2007, Dmytrenko, Lazebnik and Williford posed two related conjectures about polynomials over finite fields. Conjecture~1 is a claim about the uniqueness of certain monomial graphs. Conjecture~2, which implies Conjecture~1, deals with…

Salikhov has proved a conjecture of Kontsevich and Shoikhet by reducing it to the consideration of three families of graphs, a consideration which was left to the reader for two of those families. We show, that the conjecture is just a very…

While studying some properties of linear operators in a Euclidean Jordan algebra, Gowda, Sznajder and Tao have introduced generalized lattice operations based on the projection onto the cone of squares. In two recent papers of the authors…

Boelen et al. (2010) deduced a $q$-discrete Painlev\'e equation satisfied by the recurrence coefficients of orthogonal polynomials and conjectured that the equation had a unique positive solution. We prove their conjecture and discuss…

In this note, we prove the last remaining case of the original 15 two-term supercongruence conjectures for sporadic sequences. The proof utilizes a new representation for this sequence (due to Gorodetsky) as the constant term of powers of a…

In this paper we prove that assuming Schanuel's conjecture, an exponential polynomial in one variable over the algebraic numbers has only finitely many algebraic solutions. This implies a positive answer to Shapiro's conjecture for…

Investigating a recent positive solution of a conjecture of Grunewald and O'Halloran for complex finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras, we are in the position to find results of existence and uniqueness for the construction of complex…

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.

In this short note, we give simple proofs of several results and conjectures formulated by Stolarsky and Tran concerning generating functions of some families of Chebyshev-like polynomials.
