Let $\mathcal{F}_n$ be the set of unitary polynomials of degree $n \ge 2$ that have their roots in $\mathbb{Z}^*$. We note $$ Q(x) := x^n+a_{1}x^{n-1}+\dots+a_{n}. $$ We show that any two fixed consecutive coefficients $(a_{j},a_{j+1})$ ($j…

Our main result is that any real cubic algebraic number has a continued fraction expansion with polynomial coefficients. Some generalizations are mentioned.

Given a sequence of complex numbers {\rho}_n, we study the asymptotic distribution of the sets of parameters c {\epsilon} C such that the quadratic maps z^2 +c has a cycle of period n and multiplier {\rho}_n. Assume 1/n.log|{\rho}_n| tends…

We establish a lower bound for the frequency with which an irreducible monic cubic polynomial with negative discriminant can be expressed as a sum of two squares ($\square_{2}$). This provides a quantitative answer to a question posed by…

In this article, we study the set of parameters $c \in \mathbb{C}$ for which two given complex numbers $a$ and $b$ are simultaneously preperiodic for the quadratic polynomial $f_{c}(z) = z^{2} +c$. Combining complex-analytic and arithmetic…

Some cubic polynomials over the integers have three distinct real roots with continued fractions that all have the same common tail. We characterize the polynomials for which this happens, and then investigate the situation for other…

In this paper, we study slices of the parameter space of cubic polynomials, up to affine conjugacy, given by a fixed value of the multiplier at a non-repelling fixed point. In particular, we study the location of the $main\, cubioid$ in…

We describe all special curves in the parameter space of complex cubic polynomials, that is all algebraic irreducible curves containing infinitely many post-critically finite polynomials. This solves in a strong form a conjecture by Baker…

Given a map f:Z-->Z and an initial argument alpha, we can iterate the map to get a finite set of iterates modulo a prime p. In particular, for a quadratic map f(z)=z^2 +c, c constant, work by Pollard suggests that this set should have…

We explore families of pairs of quadratic polynomials $f(x)=x^2+c\in \mathbb{Q}$ and $a\in \mathbb{Q}$ with $a$ being a strictly preperiodic point of $f$ to provide infinitely many new examples for which the associated arboreal Galois…

We describe and implement an algorithm to find all post-critically finite (PCF) cubic polynomials defined over $\mathbb{Q}$, up to conjugacy over $\text{PGL}_2(\bar{\mathbb{Q}})$. We describe normal forms that classify equivalence classes…

Let $f(x)$ be a square free quartic polynomial defined over a quadratic field $K$ such that its leading coefficient is a square. If the continued fraction expansion of $\displaystyle \sqrt{f(x)}$ is periodic, then its period $n$ lies in the…

We investigate the arithmetic properties of the multiplier polynomials for certain $1$-parameter families of polynomials. In particular, we prove integrality theorems of multiplier polynomials for $z^d+c$, $(z-c)z^d + c$ and $z^{d+1}+cz$.…

Let $f\in\mathbb{Z}[X]$ be quadratic or cubic polynomial. We prove that there exists an integer $G_f\geq 2$ such that for every integer $k\geq G_f$ one can find infinitely many integers $n\geq 0$ with the property that none of…

We consider the family of dynamical modular curves associated to quadratic polynomial maps and determine precisely which of these curves have infinitely many cubic points. We use this to prove a classification statement on preperiodic…

We construct a countable family of multi-dimensional continued fraction algorithms, built out of five specific multidimensional continued fractions, and find a wide class of cubic irrational real numbers a so that either (a, a^2) or (a,…

An observation by J-P. Serre implies that cubic polynomials are unique among generic monic polynomials of degree 2 or higher in that they have a root that is a power series in the discriminant of the polynomial. We provide formulas for this…

We consider a certain left action by the monoid $SL_2(\mathbf{N}_0)$ on the set of divisor pairs $\mathcal{D}_f := \{ (m, n) \in \mathbf{N}_0 \times \mathbf{N}_0 : m \lvert f(n) \}$ where $f \in \mathbf{Z}[x]$ is a polynomial with integer…

For each positive integer n greater than or equal to 2, a new approach to expressing real numbers as sequences of nonnegative integers is given. The n=2 case is equivalent to the standard continued fraction algorithm. For n=3, it reduces to…

For a prime $p$ and an integer $x$, the $p$-adic valuation of $x$ is denoted by $\nu_{p}(x)$. For a polynomial $Q$ with integer coefficients, the sequence of valuations $\nu_{p}(Q(n))$ is shown to be either periodic or unbounded. The first…
