For a bivariate $P(x,y) \in \mathbb{R}[x,y]\setminus (\mathbb{R}[x] \cup \mathbb{R}[y])$, our first result shows that for all finite $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}$, $|P(A,A)|\geq \alpha|A|^{5/4}$ with $\alpha =\alpha(\mathrm{deg} P) \in…

We develop an analytic approach that draws on tools from Fourier analysis and ergodic theory to study Ramsey-type problems involving sums and products in the integers. Suppose $Q$ denotes a polynomial with integer coefficients. We establish…

Let $P: \F \times \F \to \F$ be a polynomial of bounded degree over a finite field $\F$ of large characteristic. In this paper we establish the following dichotomy: either $P$ is a moderate asymmetric expander in the sense that $|P(A,B)|…

Let $\F_q$ be a finite field of order $q$ and $P$ be a polynomial in $\F_q[x_1, x_2]$. For a set $A \subset \F_q$, define $P(A):=\{P(x_1, x_2) | x_i \in A \}$. Using certain constructions of expanders, we characterize all polynomials $P$…

We develop a new method for studying the asymptotics of symmetric polynomials of representation-theoretic origin as the number of variables tends to infinity. Several applications of our method are presented: We prove a number of theorems…

We introduce the notion of semi-characteristic polynomial for a semi-linear map of a finite- dimensional vector space over a field of characteristic p. This polynomial has some properties in common with the classical characteristic…

Let $P_1,\dots,P_m\in\mathbb{Z}[y]$ be any linearly independent polynomials with zero constant term. We show that there exists a $\gamma>0$ such that any subset of $\mathbb{F}_q$ of size at least $q^{1-\gamma}$ contains a nontrivial…

The expansion of bivariate polynomials is well-understood for sets with a linear-sized product set. In contrast, not much is known for sets with small sumset. In this work, we provide expansion bounds for polynomials of the form $f(x, y) =…

It is known that the elementary symmetric polynomials $e_k(x)$ have the property that if $ x, y \in [0,\infty)^n$ and $e_k(x) \leq e_k(y)$ for all $k$, then $||x||_p \leq ||y||_p$ for all real $0\leq p \leq 1$, and moreover $||x||_p \geq…

Exponential sums have applications to a variety of scientific fields, including, but not limited to, cryptography, coding theory and information theory. Closed formulas for exponential sums of symmetric Boolean functions were found by Cai,…

Let $p$ and $q$ be polynomials with degree $2$ over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{F}$. In the first part of this article, we characterize the matrices that can be decomposed as $A+B$ for some pair $(A,B)$ of square matrices such that $p(A)=0$…

We establish expansion properties for suitably generic polynomials of degree $d$ in $d+1$ variables over finite fields. In particular, we show that if $P\in\mathbb{F}_q[x_1,\ldots,x_{d+1}]$ is a polynomial of degree $d$ coming from an…

Let $ a_1(x)p_1(x)^n + \cdots + a_k(x)p_k(x)^n $ as well as $ b_1(x)q_1(x)^m + \cdots + b_l(x) q_l(x)^m $ be two polynomial power sums where the complex polynomials $ p_i(x) $ and $ q_j(x) $ are all non-constant. Then in the present paper…

We prove a low characteristic counterpart to the main result in (Peluse, 2019), establishing power saving bounds for the polynomial Szemer\'{e}di theorem for certain families of polynomials. Namely, we show that if $P_1, \dots, P_m \in…

Suppose $G$ is a simple graph with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges, and rank $r$. Let $\chi_G(t)=a_0t^n-a_1t^{n-1}+\cdots +(-1)^ra_rt^{n-r}$ be the chromatic polynomial of $G$. For $q,k\in \Bbb{Z}$ and $0\le k\le q+r+1$, we obtain a sharp two-side…

Recently, the functional equation \[ \sum_{i=0}^mf_i(b_ix+c_iy)= \sum_{i=1}^na_i(y)v_i(x) \] with $x,y\in\mathbb{R}^d$ and $b_i,c_i\in\mathbf{GL}_d(\mathbb{C})$, was studied by Almira and Shulman, both in the classical context of continuous…

There exist homogeneous polynomials $f$ with $\mathbb Q$-coefficients that are sums of squares over $\mathbb R$ but not over $\mathbb Q$. The only systematic construction of such polynomials that is known so far uses as its key ingredient…

We study a new kind of symmetric polynomials P_n(x_1,...,x_m) of degree n in m real variables, which have arisen in the theory of numerical semigroups. We establish their basic properties and find their representation through the power sums…

Given fields $k \subseteq L$, our results concern one parameter $L$-parametric polynomials over $k$, and their relation to generic polynomials. The former are polynomials $P(T,Y) \in k[T][Y]$ of group $G$ which parametrize all Galois…

We obtain nontrivial estimates of quadratic character sums of division polynomials $\Psi_n(P)$, $n=1,2, ...$, evaluated at a given point $P$ on an elliptic curve over a finite field of $q$ elements. Our bounds are nontrivial if the order of…
