Using Chebyshev polynomialsof both kinds, we construct rational fractions which are convergents of the smallest root of $x^2-\alpha x+1$ for $\alpha=3,4,5,\dots$.Some of the underlying identities suggest an identity involving…

Given a complex polynomial $P$ with zeroes $z_1,\dotsc,z_d$, we show that the asymptotic zero-counting measure of the iterated derivatives $Q^{(n)}, \ n=1,2,\dotsc$, where $Q=R/P$ is any irreducible rational function, converges to an…

Using matrix model, Mironov and Morozov recently gave a formula which represents Kontsevich-Witten tau-function as a linear expansion of Schur Q-polynomials. In this paper, we will show directly that the Q-polynomial expansion in this…

Cooper-Manning and Louder gave examples of maps of surface groups to PSL(2,C) which are not injective, but are incompressible (i.e. no simple loop is in the kernel). We construct more examples with very simple certificates for their…

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…

Let $R=\mathcal{O}_{\Q(\sqrt{d})}$ for $d<0$, squarefree, $d\neq -1,-3$. We prove Lehmer's conjecture for associated reciprocal polynomials of $R$-matrices; that is, any noncyclotomic $R$-matrix has Mahler measure at least…

We give a simpler proof of an earlier result giving an asymptotic estimate for the number of integral matrices, in large balls, with a given monic integral irreducible polynomial as their common characteristic polynomial. The proof uses…

Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Given a polynomial f(x,y) in K[x,y] with one place at infinity, we prove that either f is equivalent to a coordinate, or the family (f+c) has at most two rational elements. When…

Karush's proof of McMillan's theorem is recast as an argument involving polynomials with non-commuting indeterminates certain evaluations of which yield the Kraft sums of codes, proving a strengthened version of McMillan's theorem.

In this work we prove constructively that the complement ${\mathbb R}^n\setminus{\mathcal K}$ of an $n$-dimensional unbounded convex polyhedron ${\mathcal K}\subset{\mathbb R}^n$ and the complement ${\mathbb R}^n\setminus{\rm Int}({\mathcal…

A simple proof is given for the convexity of log det (I+K X^{-1}) in the positive definite matrix variable X with a given positive semidefinite K.

We conjecture that if $G$ is a simple compact Lie group with trivial center, then every $d$-variable non-constant word map with coefficients in $G$ defines a non-constant function on $G^d$. We prove the conjecture for $A_r$, $B_r$, $E_6$,…

Let X be a simplicial complex with the ground set V. Define its Alexander dual as a simplicial complex X* = {A \subset V: V \setminus A \notin X}. The combinatorial Alexander duality states that the i-th reduced homology group of X is…

The genus 0, fixed-domain log Gromov-Witten invariants of a smooth, projective toric variety X enumerate maps from a general pointed rational curve to a smooth, projective toric variety passing through the maximal number of general points…

We prove some results on when functions on compact sets $K \subset \mathbb C$ can be approximated by polynomials avoiding values in given sets. We also prove some higher dimensional analogues. In particular we prove that a continuous…

For arbitrary Coxeter systems, we prove that inverse Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials satisfy a monotonicity property. This follows from the validity of Soergel's conjecture and the existence of injective morphisms between Rouquier complexes in…

For every multivariable polynomial $p$, with $p(0)=1$, we construct a determinantal representation $$p=\det (I - K Z),$$ where $Z$ is a diagonal matrix with coordinate variables on the diagonal and $K$ is a complex square matrix. Such a…

The cluster algebra of any acyclic quiver can be realized as the coordinate ring of a subvariety of a Kac-Moody group -- the quiver is an orientation of its Dynkin diagram, defining a Coxeter element and thereby a double Bruhat cell. We use…

For any infinite field k and any positive integer r, we show constructively that the map sending each polynomial P $\in$ k[x] to its r-th iterate is dominant in various inductive limit topologies on the space of all polynomials.

We give a geometric interpretation of cluster varieties in terms of blowups of toric varieties. This enables us to provide, among other results, an elementary geometric proof of the Laurent phenomenon for cluster algebras (of geometric…
