We present a short, self-contained, and purely combinatorial proof of Linnik's theorem: for any $\varepsilon > 0$ there exists a constant $C_\varepsilon$ such that for any $N$, there are at most $C_\varepsilon$ primes $p \leqslant N$ such…

For an odd prime $p$, we say $f(X) \in {\mathbb F}_p[X]$ computes square roots in $\mathbb F_p$ if, for all nonzero perfect squares $a \in \mathbb F_p$, we have $f(a)^2 = a$. When $p \equiv 3 \mod 4$, it is well known that $f(X) =…

Geometrical objects with integral sides have attracted mathematicians for ages. For example, the problem to prove or to disprove the existence of a perfect box, that is, a rectangular parallelepiped with all edges, face diagonals and space…

Let $d\ge4$ and $c\in(-d,d)$ be relatively prime integers. We show that for any sufficiently large integer $n$ (in particular $n>24310$ suffices for $4\le d\le 36$), the smallest prime $p\equiv c\pmod d$ with $p\ge(2dn-c)/(d-1)$ is the…

A sphere packing of the three-dimensional Euclidean space is compact if it has only tetrahedral holes, that is, any local maximum of the distance to the spheres is at equal distance to exactly four spheres. This papers describes all the…

We study the least doubling constant $C_{(X,d)}$, among all doubling measures $\mu$ supported on a metric space $(X,d)$. In particular, we prove that for every metric space with more than one point, $C_{(X,d)}\ge 2$. We also describe some…

There are many different algebraic, geometric and combinatorial objects that one can attach to a complex polynomial with distinct roots. In this article we introduce a new object that encodes many of the existing objects that have…

A polynomial $p\in \mathbb{C}[z]$ with three finite values is called the Zolotarev polynomial. For a class of such polynomials with the given degree, given passport and simple critical points we define a \emph{combinatorial moduli space}. A…

In the current paper we are seeking P1(y),P2(y),P3(y) with the highest possible degree polynomials with integer coefficients, and Q(y) via the lowest possible degree polynomial, such that P1(y)^3+P2(y)^3+P3(y)^3=Q(y). Actually, the solution…

We introduce the ratio of the number of roots, not equal to 1 in modulus, of a reciprocal polynomial $R_d(x)$ to its degree $d$. For some sequences of reciprocal polynomials we show that the ratio has a limit $L$ when $d$ tends to infinity.…

Under conjugation by affine transformations, the dynamical moduli space of cubic polynomials $f$ with a $2$-cycle of Siegel disks is parameterized by a three-punctured complex plane as a degree-$2$ cover. Assuming the rotation number of…

The number of essentially different square polyominoes of order n and minimum perimeter p(n) is enumerated.

A combinatorial theorem on families of disjoint sub-boxes of a discrete cube, which implies that there at most $2^{d+1}-2$ neighbourly simplices in $\mathbb R^d$, is presented.

The positive semidefinite (psd) rank of a polytope is the size of the smallest psd cone that admits an affine slice that projects linearly onto the polytope. The psd rank of a d-polytope is at least d+1, and when equality holds we say that…

Expansive polynomials (whose roots are greater than 1 in modulus) often arise in dynamical systems and other computational problems. This paper examines the expansivity gap (the gap between 1 and the smallest modulus of the roots) of these…

In a recent paper, Bruns and von Thaden established a bound for the length of vectors involved in a unimodular triangulation of simplicial cones. The bound is exponential in the square of the logarithm of the multiplicity, and improves…

In this paper, we consider modular local polynomials. These functions satisfy modularity while they are locally defined as polynomials outside of an exceptional set. We prove an inequality for the dimension of the space of such forms when…

In this paper we have a look at squared squares with small integer sidelengths, where the only restriction is that any two subsquares of the same size are not allowed to share a full border. We prove that there are exactly two such squared…

Elementary symmetric polynomials $S_n^k$ are used as a benchmark for the bounded-depth arithmetic circuit model of computation. In this work we prove that $S_n^k$ modulo composite numbers $m=p_1p_2$ can be computed with much fewer…

We present methods for computing the distance from a Boolean polynomial on $m$ variables of degree $m-3$ (i.e., a member of the Reed-Muller code $RM(m-3,m)$) to the space of lower-degree polynomials ($RM(m-4,m)$). The methods give…
