For a given elliptic curve, its associated $L$-function evaluated at $1$ is closely related to its real period. In this article, we generalize this principle to a rational curve. We count the rational points over all finite fields and use…

We construct a sequence of cyclotomic integers (Gaussian periods) of particularly small Mahler measure/height. We study the asymptotics of their Mahler measure as a function of their conductor, to find that the growth rate is the…

We describe a provably quasi-polynomial algorithm to compute discrete logarithms in the multiplicative groups of finite fields of small characteristic, that is finite fields whose characteristic is logarithmic in the order. We partially…

We present a new approach to study measures on ensembles of contours, polymers or other objects interacting by some sort of exclusion condition. For concreteness we develop it here for the case of Peierls contours. Unlike existing methods,…

The generalized Bloch decomposition of a bipartite quantum state gives rise to a correlation matrix whose singular values provide rich information about non-local properties of the state, such as the dimensionality of entanglement. While…

We prove an identity relating Mahler measures of a certain family of non-tempered polynomials to those of tempered polynomials. Evaluations of Mahler measures of some polynomials in the first family are also given in terms of special values…

We consider the problem of computing matrix polynomials $p(X)$, where $X$ is a large dense matrix, with as few matrix-matrix multiplications as possible. More precisely, let $\Pi_{2^{m}}^*$ represent the set of polynomials computable with…

In this paper, we derive some interesting symmetric properties for the geenralized Euler numbers and polynomials.

We address two interrelated problems concerning the permutation of roots of univariate polynomials whose coefficients depend on parameters. First, we compute the Galois group of polynomials $\varphi(x)\in\mathbb{C}[y_1,\cdots,y_k][x]$ over…

The set of closed (or holonomic) measures provides a useful setting for studying optimization problems because it contains all curves, while also enjoying good compactness and convexity properties. We study the way to do variational…

Polylogarithms are those multiple polylogarithms that factor through a certain quotient of the de Rham fundamental group of the thrice punctured line known as the polylogarithmic quotient. Building on work of Dan-Cohen, Wewers, and Brown,…

Let $\chi_{-f}$ be the odd quadratic Dirichlet character of conductor $f$, and let $\mathrm{m}(P)$ denote the Mahler measure of a polynomial $P$. In 1984, Chinburg conjectured that for any such $\chi_{-f}$ there exist an integral bivariate…

In this paper we relate the location of the complex zeros of the reliability polynomial to parameters at which a certain family of rational functions derived from the reliability polynomial exhibits chaotic behaviour. We use this connection…

The probability that a zero of a random real polynomial of increasing degree is real tends to zero. However, passing from polynomials to Laurent polynomials yields a surprising result: the probability that a root is real tends not to zero,…

We investigate the behavior of fractional derivatives of polynomials. In particular, we consider the locations and the asymptotic behaviour of their zeros and give bounds for their Mahler measure.

Let M denote the maximal function along the polynomial curve p(t)=(t,t^2,...,t^d) in R^d: M(f)=sup_{r>0} (1/2r) \int_{|t|<r} |f(x-p(t))| dt. We show that the L^2-norm of this operator grows at most logarithmically with the parameter d:…

We consider the $k$-higher Mahler measure $m_k(P)$ of a Laurent polynomial $P$ as the integral of $\log ^k \left| P \right|$ over the complex unit circle. In this paper we derive an explicit formula for the value of $\left| m_k(P)…

We provide a non-trivial measure of irrationality for a class of Mahler numbers defined with infinite products which cover the Thue-Morse constant.

In this article, we study the analytic properties of the multiple polylogarithms in the $s$-aspect. Although the domain of absolute convergence of the series defining the multiple polylogarithms is well-known, the study towards a larger…

Given a planar curve defined by means of a real rational parametrization, we prove that the affine values of the parameter generating the real singularities of the offset are real roots of a univariate polynomial that can be derived from…
