Finding an effective formula for describing a discriminant of a quadrinomial (a formula which can be easily computed for high values of degrees of quadrinomials) is a difficult problem. In 2018 Otake and Shaska using advanced matrix…

A. Mukhopadhyay, M. R. Murty and K. Srinivas (http://arxiv.org/abs/0808.0418) have recently studied various arithmetic properties of the discriminant $\Delta_n(a,b)$ of the trinomial $f_{n,a,b}(t) = t^n + at + b$, where $n \ge 5$ is a fixed…

In this article, we consider the polynomials of the form $f(x)=a_0+a_1x+a_2x^2+\cdots+a_nx^n\in \mathbb{Z}[x],$ where $|a_0|=|a_1|+\dots+|a_n|$ and $|a_0|$ is a prime. We show that these polynomials have a cyclotomic factor whenever…

We give a simple formula for some determinants, and an analogous formula for pfaffians, both of which are polynomial identities. The second involve some expressions that interpolate between determinants and pfaffians. We give several…

We estimate the number of primes represented by a general quadratic polynomial with discriminant $\Delta$, assuming that the corresponding real character is exceptional.

Let $f_n$ be a random polynomial of degree $n$, whose coefficients are independent and identically distributed random variables with mean-zero and variance one. Let $\Delta(f_n)$ denote the discriminant of $f_n$, that is $\Delta(f_n) =…

Let $\Delta(n)$ denote the smallest positive integer $m$ such that $a^3+a(1\le a\le n)$ are pairwise distinct modulo $m$. The purpose of this paper is to determine $\Delta(n)$ for all positive integers $n$.

We define the second discriminant $D_2$ of a univariate polynomial $f$ of degree greater than $2$ as the product of the linear forms $2\,r_k-r_i-r_j$ for all triples of roots $r_i, r_k, r_j$ of $f$ with $i<j$ and $j\neq k, k\neq i$. $D_2$…

Let $F({\bf x})={\bf x}^tQ_{\bf x}+\mathbf{b}^t{\bf x}+c\in\mathbb{Z}[{\bf x}]$ be a quadratic polynomial in $\ell (\ge 3 )$ variables ${\bf x} =(x_{1},...,x_{\ell})$, where $F({\bf x})$ is positive when ${\bf x}\in\mathbb{R}_{\ge…

Let $K=\mathbb Q(\theta)$ be an algebraic number field with $\theta$ a root of an irreducible trinomial $f(x)=x^6+ax+b$ belonging to $\mathbb{Z}[x]$. In this paper, for each prime number $p$ we compute the highest power of $p$ dividing the…

In this paper, we study the relationship between iterated resultant and multivariate discriminant. We show that, for generic form $f(X_n)$ with even degree $d$, if the polynomial is squarefreed after each iteration, the multivariate…

We consider polynomials of the form t^n-1 and determine when members of this family have a divisor of every degree in Z[t]. With F(x) defined to be the number of such integers up to x, we prove the existence of two positive constants c_1…

We prove an inequality for Jacobi polynomials that \begin{align} \Delta_n(x):=P_n^{(\alpha_n,\beta_n)}(x)P_n^{(\alpha_{n+1},\beta_{n+1})}(x)- P_{n-1}^{(\alpha_n,\beta_n)}(x)P_{n+1}^{(\alpha_{n+1},\beta_{n+1})}(x)\le 0,\ \forall x\ge 1,…

We study some foundational properties on discriminant divisors for generically smooth conic bundles. In particular, we extend the formula $\Delta_f \equiv -f_*K_{X/T}^2$ to arbitrary characteristics.

We show that for every smooth hyperbolic polynomial h there is another hyperbolic polynomial q such that qh has a definite determinantal representation. This is proved by considering sum-of-squares decompositions of certain bilinear forms…

Let $F(x)$ be an irreducible polynomial with integer coefficients and degree at least 2. For $x\ge z\ge y\ge 2$, denote by $H_F(x, y, z)$ the number of integers $n\le x$ such that $F(n)$ has at least one divisor $d$ with $y<d\le z$. We…

Let $f=a{\tt x} +b{\tt x}^q+{\tt x}^{2q-1}\in\Bbb F_q[{\tt x}]$. We find explicit conditions on $a$ and $b$ that are necessary and sufficient for $f$ to be a permutation polynomial of $\Bbb F_{q^2}$. This result allows us to solve a related…

We present formulas for the homogenous multivariate resultant as a quotient of two determinants. They extend classical Macaulay formulas, and involve matrices of considerably smaller size, whose non zero entries include coefficients of the…

The hyperdeterminant of a polynomial (interpreted as a symmetric tensor) factors into several irreducible factors with multiplicities. Using geometric techniques these factors are identified along with their degrees and their…

Let $F({\bf x})={\bf x}^tQ_m{\bf x}+\mathbf{b}^t{\bf x}+c\in\mathbb{Z}[{\bf x}]$ be a quadratic polynomial in $\ell (\ge 3 )$ variables ${\bf x} =(x_{1},...,x_{\ell})$, where $F({\bf x})$ is positive when ${\bf x}\in\mathbb{R}_{\ge…
