Let f be a polynomial of degree at least 2 with coefficients in a number field K, let x_0 be a sufficiently general element of K, and let alpha be a root of f. We give precise conditions under which Newton iteration, started at the point…
Given a global field K and a polynomial f defined over K of degree at least two, Morton and Silverman conjectured in 1994 that the number of K-rational preperiodic points of f is bounded in terms of only the degree of K and the degree of f.…
Let $K$ be a number field, $f\in K[x]$ a quadratic polynomial, and $n\in\{1,2,3\}$. We show that if $f$ has a point of period $n$ in every non-archimedean completion of $K$, then $f$ has a point of period $n$ in $K$. For $n\in\{4,5\}$ we…
Let $K$ be a global field and $n > 1$ an integer. We show $n$ is composite if and only if there is an irreducible polynomial $f(x) \in K[x]$ of degree $n$ which is reducible $q$-adically for all the primes $q$ of $K$.
The van der Waerden's Conjecture states that the set $\mathscr{P}_{n,N}^0(\mathbb{Q})$ of monic integer polynomials $f(X)$ of degree $n$, with height $\le N$ such that the Galois group $G_{K_f/\mathbb{Q}}$ of the splitting field…
We prove an analogue of the classical Bateman-Horn conjecture on prime values of polynomials for the ring of polynomials over a large finite field. Namely, given non-associate, irreducible, separable and monic (in the variable $x$)…
For a fixed integer $n\geq 2,$ we show that a permutation of the least residues mod $p$ of the form $f(x)=Ax^k$ mod $p$ cannot map a residue class mod $n$ to just one residue class mod $n$ once $p$ is sufficiently large, other than the maps…
Let d>2 and let p be a prime coprime to d. Let Z_pbar be the ring of integers of Q_pbar. Suppose f(x) is a degree-d polynomial over Qbar and Z_pbar. Let P be a prime ideal over p in the ring of integers of Q(f), where Q(f) is the number…
We investigate $k$-superirreducible polynomials, by which we mean irreducible polynomials that remain irreducible under any polynomial substitution of positive degree at most $k$. Let $\mathbb F$ be a finite field of characteristic $p$. We…
Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a finite field and let $f$ be a linear polynomial in $\mathbb{F}[x]$. We investigate the number of polynomials of degree $d$ which commute with $f$ under composition. In so doing, we rediscover a result of Park, but with…
A well-known result of von zur Gathen asserts that a non-exceptional permutation polynomial of degree $n$ over $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ exists only if $q<n^{4}$. With the help of the Weil bound for the number of $\mathbb{F}_{q}$-points on an…
We prove that, over any field, the dimension of the indeterminacy locus of a rational transformation $f$ of $P^n$ which is defined by monomials of the same degree $d$ with no common factors is at least $(n-2)/2$, provided that the degree of…
We conjecture that bounded generalised polynomial functions cannot be generated by finite automata, except for the trivial case when they are periodic away from a finite set. Using methods from ergodic theory, we are able to partially…
In this paper, we completely prove a standard conjecture on the local converse theorem for generic representations of GLn(F), where F is a non-archimedean local field.
For a polynomial $f(x)$ in $(\mathbb{Z}_p\cap \mathbb{Q})[x]$ of degree $d>2$ let $L(f \bmod p;T)$ be the $L$-function of the exponential sum of $f \bmod p$. Let $\mathrm{NP}(f \bmod p)$ denote the Newton polygon of $L(f \bmod p;T)$. Let…
In 2014, Juul, Kurlberg, Madhu and Tucker asked the following: given $K$ a number field and $f$ a rational function with coefficients in $K$, if $f_\mathfrak{p}$ denotes the reduction of $f$ modulo a prime ideal $\mathfrak{p}$ in the ring…
Let $F$ be a number field, $O_F$ the integral closure of $\mathbb{Z}$ in $F$ and $P(T) \in O_F[T]$ a monic separable polynomial such that $P(0) \not=0$ and $P(1) \not=0$. We give precise sufficient conditions on a given positive integer $k$…
One can associate to any bivariate polynomial P(X,Y) its Newton polygon. This is the convex hull of the points (i,j) such that the monomial X^i Y^j appears in P with a nonzero coefficient. We conjecture that when P is expressed as a sum of…
We conjecture that bounded generalised polynomial functions cannot be generated by finite automata, except for the trivial case when they are ultimately periodic. Using methods from ergodic theory, we are able to partially resolve this…
Let $\chi$ be an order $c$ multiplicative character of a finite field and $f(x)=x^d+\lambda x^e$ a binomial with $(d,e)=1$. We study the twisted classical and $T$-adic Newton polygons of $f$. When $p>(d-e)(2d-1)$, we give a lower bound of…
