For any $n\geq 1$, let $T_n$ be the complete binary rooted tree of height $n$, and $f(x)=(x+a)^2-a-1$ such that $a\neq \pm b^2$ for any $b\in \mathbb{Z}$. In \cite{Settled}, Jones and Boston empirically observed that iteratively applying a…

Let $G = G_{1} \times G_{2}$ be a product of two locally compact, second countable groups and $\mu \in \mathrm{Prob}(G)$ be of the form $\mu = \mu_{1} \times \mu_{2}$, where $\mu_{i} \in \mathrm{Prob}(G_{i})$. Let $(B,\nu_B)$ be the…

Let $T$ be the triangle in the plane with vertices $(0,0)$, $(0,1)$ and $(0,1)$. The convex hull of $(0,1)$, $(1,0)$ and $n$ independent random points uniformly distributed in $T$ is the random convex chain $T_n$. A three-term recursion for…

Newton's method for polynomial root finding is one of mathematics' most well-known algorithms. The method also has its shortcomings: it is undefined at critical points, it could exhibit chaotic behavior and is only guaranteed to converge…

It is known, since works of Burde and de Rham, that one can detect the roots of the Alexander polynomial of a knot by the study of the representations of the knot group into the group of the invertible upper triangular $2x2$ matrices. In…

We consider integer recurrences of the form a_n = f(a_{n-1}), where f is a quadratic polynomial with integer coefficients. We show, for four infinite families of f, that the set of primes dividing at least one term of such a sequence must…

Elements of the Riordan group $\cal R$ over a field $\mathbb F$ of characteristic zero are infinite lower triangular matrices which are defined in terms of pairs of formal power series. We wish to bring to the forefront, as a tool in the…

Let $H$ be a subgroup of a group $G$. A normal subgroup $N_H$ of $H$ is said to be inheritably normal if there is a normal subgroup $N_G$ of $G$ such that $N_H=N_G\cap H$. It is proved in the paper that a subgroup $N_{G_i}$ of a factor…

Motivated by the discovery that the eighth root of the theta series of the E_8 lattice and the 24th root of the theta series of the Leech lattice both have integer coefficients, we investigate the question of when an arbitrary element f in…

Let $p(x)=a_0 + a_1 x + \ldots + a_n x^n$ be a polynomial with all roots real and satisfying $x \leq -\delta$ for some $0<\delta <1$. We show that for any $0 < \epsilon <1$, the value of $p(1)$ is determined within relative error $\epsilon$…

In Question 19.35 of the Kourovka Notebook, M. H. Hooshmand asks whether, given a finite group $G$ and a factorization $\mathrm{card}(G)= n_1\ldots n_k$, one can always find subsets $A_1,\ldots,A_k$ of $G$ with $\mathrm{card}(A_i)=n_i$ such…

In the first part we study critical points of random polynomials. We choose two deterministic sequences of complex numbers,whose empirical measures converge to the same probability measure in complex plane. We make a sequence of polynomials…

For every nonconstant monic polynomial $g \in \mathbb{Z}[X]$, let $\mathfrak{M}(g)$ be the set of positive integers $m$ for which there exist an integer linear recurrence $(s_n)_{n \geq 0}$ having characteristic polynomial $g$ and a…

A rigidity result for normal rectifiable $k$-chains in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with coefficients in an Abelian normed group is established. Given some decompositions $k=k_1+k_2$, $n=n_1+n_2$ and some rectifiable $k$-chain $A$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, we…

We classify all groups G and all pairs (V,W) of absolutely simple Yetter-Drinfeld modules over G such that the support of the direct sum of V and W generates G, the square of the braiding between V and W is not the identity, and the Nichols…

Let $f(x)\in \mathbb{F}_q[x]$ be an irreducible polynomial of degree $m$ and exponent $e$, and $n$ be a positive integer such that $\nu_p(q-1)\ge \nu_{p}(e)+\nu_p(n)$ for all $p$ prime divisor of $n$. We show a fast algorithm to determine…

To study a Dirichlet polynomial $f(s)=\frac{a_{m}}{m^{s}}+\cdots +\frac{a_{n}}{n^{s}}$ by regarding it as a multivariate polynomial via the canonical map $\phi$ sending $p_i^{-s}$ to an indeterminate $X_i$, with $p_i$ the $i$th prime…

Studying the problem of quasicommuting quantum minors, Leclerc and Zelevinsky introduced in 1998 the notion of weakly separated sets in $[n]:=\{1,\ldots, n\}$. Moreover, they raised several conjectures on the purity for this symmetric…

This paper introduces the concept of necklace binomial coefficients motivated by the enumeration of a special type of sequences. Several properties of these coefficients are described, including a connection between their roots and an…

A classical result of H. S. M. Coxeter asserts that a certain quotient $B(m,n)$ of the braid group $B(m)$ on $m$ strands is finite if and only if $(m,n)$ corresponds to the type of one of the five Platonic solids. If ${\bf k}$ is a knot or…
