We show that if $h\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$ is a polynomial of degree $k$ such that the congruence $h(x)\equiv0\pmod{q}$ has a solution for every positive integer $q$, then any subset of $\{1,2,\ldots,N\}$ with no two distinct elements with…

Recently the so-called Atiyah conjecture about l^2-Betti numbers has been disproved. The counterexamples were found using a specific method of computing the spectral measure of a matrix over a complex group ring. We show that in many…

We study the problem of minimizing the supremum norm, on a segment of the real line or on a compact set in the plane, by polynomials with integer coefficients. The extremal polynomials are naturally called integer Chebyshev polynomials.…

The dimension algebra of graded groups is introduced. With the help of known geometric results of extension theory that algebra induces all known results of the cohomological dimension theory. Elements of the algebra are equivalence classes…

Thiran and Detaille give an explicit formula for the asymptotics of the sup-norm of the Chebyshev polynomials on a circular arc. We give the so-called $\textrm{Szeg\H o}$-Widom asymptotics for this domain, i.e., explicit expressions for the…

The degree polynomial of a multigraph $G$ is given by $\sum _{v \in V(G)} x^{\mbox{deg}(v)}$. We investigate here properties of the roots of such polynomials. In addition to examining the roots for some families of graphs with few and many…

Let $W$ be a $G$-graded algebra over a field of characteristic zero, where $G$ is a finite group. We develope a theory of generalized $G$-graded polynomial identities satisfied by any finite-dimensional $W$-algebra $A$, by mean of the…

We study the behavior of canonical height functions $\widehat{h}_f$, associated to rational maps $f$, on totally $p$-adic fields. In particular, we prove that there is a gap between zero and the next smallest value of $\widehat{h}_f$ on the…

We prove a priori H\"older bounds for continuous solutions to degenerate equations with variable coefficients of type $$ \mathrm{div}\left(u^2 A\nabla w\right)=0\quad\mathrm{in \ }\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n,\qquad \mbox{with}\qquad…

In this paper, we establish a new estimate (including lower and upper bounds) for an important quantity involved in the convergence analysis of smoothed aggregation algebraic multigrid methods. The new upper bound improves the existing…

We formulate, for continuous-time dynamical systems, a sufficient condition to be a gradient-like system, i.e. that all bounded trajectories approach stationary points and therefore that periodic orbits, chaotic attractors, etc. do not…

Nikol'skii inequalities for various sets of functions, domains and weights will be discussed. Much of the work is dedicated to the class of algebraic polynomials of total degree $n$ on a bounded convex domain $D$. That is, we study…

R. Thom's gradient conjecture states that if a gradient flow of an analytic function converges to a limit, it does so along a unique limiting direction. In this paper, we extend and settle this conjecture in the context of infinite…

Let $f\in\mathbb{Z}[T]$ be any polynomial of degree $d>1$ and $F\in\mathbb{Z}[X_{0},...,X_{n}]$ an irreducible homogeneous polynomial of degree $e>1$ such that the projective hypersurface $V(F)$ is smooth. In this paper we give a bound for…

Generalized Heisenberg algebras $\H(f)$ for any polynomial $f(h)\in\C[h]$ have been used to explain various physical systems and many physical phenomena for the last 20 years. In this paper, we first obtain the center of $\H(f)$, and the…

In this paper we characterize real bivariate polynomials which have a small range over large Cartesian products. We show that for every constant-degree bivariate real polynomial $f$, either $|f(A,B)|=\Omega(n^{4/3})$, for every pair of…

What is the maximum possible value of the lead coefficient of a degree $d$ polynomial $Q(x)$ if $|Q(1)|,|Q(2)|,\ldots,|Q(k)|$ are all less than or equal to one? More generally we write $L_{d,[x_k]}(x)$ for what we prove to be the unique…

Every symmetric polynomial $h(x)$ with center of symmetry $n/2$ can be expressed as a linear combination in the basis $x^i(1+x)^{n-2i}$. The $\gamma$-polynomial of $h(x)$, which we denote $\gamma_h(x)$, records the coefficients of this…

Let $\Lambda$ be an artin algebra. We obtain that $\Lambda$ is syzygy-finite when the radical layer length of $\Lambda$ is at most two; as two consequences, we give a new upper bound for the dimension of the bounded derived category of the…

Let $ P(z) $ be a polynomial of degree $ n $ and for any real or complex number $\alpha,$ let $D_\alpha P(z)=nP(z)+(\alpha-z)P^{\prime}(z)$ denote the polar derivative with respect to $\alpha.$ In this paper, we obtain generalizations of…
