Given a univariate polynomial f(x) over a ring R, we examine when we can write f(x) as g(h(x)) where g and h are polynomials of degree at least 2. We answer two questions of Gusic regarding when the existence of such g and h over an…

Any multilinear non-central polynomial $p$ (in several noncommuting variables) takes on values of degree $n$ in the matrix algebra $M_n(F)$ over an infinite field $F$. The polynomial $p$ is called {\it $\nu$-central} for $M_n(F)$ if $p^\nu$…

Heged\H{u}s's lemma is the following combinatorial statement regarding polynomials over finite fields. Over a field $\mathbb{F}$ of characteristic $p > 0$ and for $q$ a power of $p$, the lemma says that any multilinear polynomial $P\in…

The height of a rational number $p/q$ is denoted by $h(p/q)$ and equals $\text{max}(|p|,|q|)$ provided p/q is written in lowest terms. The height of a rational tuple $(x_1,...,x_n)$ is denoted by $h(x_1,...,x_n)$ and equals…

Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. Following Medvedev-Scanlon, a polynomial of degree d > 1 is said to be disintegrated if neither f nor -f is linearly conjugate to x^d or T_d(x) where T_d is the Chebyshev…

We provide upper bounds for the sum of the multiplicities of the non-constant irreducible factors that appear in the canonical decomposition of a polynomial $f(X)\in\mathbb{Z}[X]$, in case all the roots of $f$ lie inside an Apollonius…

The analogue of Hilbert's tenth problem over $\mathbb{Q}$ asks for an algorithm to decide the existence of rational points in algebraic varieties over this field. This remains as one of the main open problems in the area of undecidability…

Given a number field $K$ and a polynomial $f(z) \in K[z]$, one can naturally construct a finite directed graph $G(f,K)$ whose vertices are the $K$-rational preperiodic points of $f$, with an edge $\alpha \to \beta$ if and only if $f(\alpha)…

Given a quadratic polynomial with rational coefficients, we investigate the existence of consecutive squares in the orbit of a rational point under the iteration of the polynomial. We display three different constructions of $1$-parameter…

We show that the supremum for $c$ real of the Hausdorff dimension of the Julia set of the polynomial $z\mapsto z^d+c$ ($d$ is an even natural number) is greater than $2d/(d+1)$.

In this paper we characterize real bivariate polynomials which have a small range over large Cartesian products. We show that for every constant-degree bivariate real polynomial $f$, either $|f(A,B)|=\Omega(n^{4/3})$, for every pair of…

For any power series $a(t)$ with exponentially bounded nonnegative integer coefficients we suggest a simple construction of a finitely generated monomial associative algebra $R$ with Hilbert series $H(R,t)$ very close to $a(t)$. If $a(t)$…

The purpose of this paper is to initiate a new attack on Arveson's resistant conjecture, that all graded submodules of the $d$-shift Hilbert module $H^2$ are essentially normal. We introduce the stable division property for modules (and…

Let f be a degree d polynomial defined over the nonarchimedean field C_p, normalized so f is monic and f(0)=0. We say f is post-critically bounded, or PCB, if all of its critical points have bounded orbit under iteration of f. It is known…

We provide sufficient and necessary conditions for the coefficients of a $q$-polynomial $f$ over $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ which ensure that the number of distinct roots of $f$ in $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ equals the degree of $f$. We say that these…

Combining a modular approach to the $abc$ conjecture developed by the second author with the classical method of linear forms in logarithms, we obtain improved unconditional bounds for two classical problems. First, for Szpiro's conjecture…

A system of transformations is associated to a rational point on an elliptic curve. The sequence entropy is connected to the canonical height, and in some cases there is a canonically defined quotient system whose entropy is the canonical…

We determine which quadratic polynomials in three variables are expanders over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{F}$. More precisely, we prove that for a quadratic polynomial $f\in \mathbb{F}[x,y,z]$, which is not of the form $g(h(x)+k(y)+l(z))$,…

We give a partial answer to a question attributed to Chris Miller on algebraic values of certain transcendental functions of order less than one. We obtain C(logH)^n bounds for the number of algebraic points of height at most H on certain…

This paper is concerned with Mahler's method. We study in detail the structure of linear relations between values of Mahler functions at algebraic points. In particular, given a field ${\bf k}$, a Mahler function $f(z)\in{\bf k}\{z\}$, and…
