We present counting methods for some special classes of multivariate polynomials over a finite field, namely the reducible ones, the s-powerful ones (divisible by the s-th power of a nonconstant polynomial), and the relatively irreducible…

We give a complete classsification of reduced sextics of torus type with configurations of the singularities and the geometry of the components.

In this paper we investigate the Alexander polynomial of (1,1)-knots, which are knots lying in a 3-manifold with genus one at most, admitting a particular decomposition. More precisely, we study the connections between the Alexander…

We introduce a notion of tangential Alexander polynomials for plane curves and study the relation with $\theta$^Alexander polynomial. As an application, we use these polynomials to study a non-reduced degeneration $C_t \to D_0+jL$. We show…

We prove duality theorems for twisted Reidemeister torsions and twisted Alexander polynomials generalizing the results of Turaev. As a corollary we determine the parity of the degrees of twisted Alexander polynomials of 3-manifolds in many…

Murasugi discovered two criteria that must be satisfied by the Alexander polynomial of a periodic knot. We generalize these to the case of twisted Alexander polynomials. Examples demonstrate the application of these new criteria, including…

H. Lenstra has pointed out that a cubic polynomial of the form (x-a)(x-b)(x-c) + r(x-d)(x-e), where {a,b,c,d,e} is some permutation of {0,1,2,3,4}, is irreducible modulo 5 because every possible linear factor divides one summand but not the…

We investigate the twisted Alexander polynomial of a 2-bridge knot associated to a Fox coloring. For several families of 2-bridge knots, including but not limited to, torus knots and genus-one knots, we derive formulae for these twisted…

We develop a diagrammatic calculus for representations of unrolled quantum $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ at a fourth root of unity. This allows us to prove Seifert-Torres type formulas for certain splice links using quantum algebraic methods, rather…

Properties of the Alexander polynomials of Hurwitz curves are investigated. A complete description of the set of the Alexander polynomials of irreducible Hurwitz curves in the terms of their roots is given.

We introduce the $B$-Stirling numbers of the first and second kind, which are the coefficients of the potential polynomials when we express them in terms of the monomials and the falling factorials, respectively. These numbers include, as…

Using an invariant defined by Rasmussen, we extend an argument given by Hedden and Watson which further restricts which Alexander polynomials can be realized by $L$-space knots.

The reciprocal Pascal matrix has entries $\binom{i+j}{j}^{-1}$. Explicit formullae for its LU-decomposition, the LU-decomposition of its inverse, and some related matrices are obtained. For all results, $q$-analogues are also presented.

We give explicit formulas for the adjoint twisted Alexander polynomial and the nonabelian Reidemeister torsion of genus one two-bridge knots.

A simple multivariable version of the reduced Burau matrix is constructed for any braid. It is shown how the multivariable Alexander polynomial for the closure of the braid can be found directly from this matrix.

We will show that if $K$ is a knot of prime period $p>2$ and whose Alexander polynomial $\Delta_K(t)$ is monic and of degree $p-1$, then $\Delta_K(t)$ is uniquely determined only by $p$.

We present a reduced Burau-like representation for the mixed braid group on one strand representing links in lens spaces and show how to calculate the Alexander polynomial of a link directly from the mixed braid.

There is a space of vector-valued nonsymmetric Jack polynomials associated with any irreducible representation of a symmetric group. Singular polynomials for the smallest singular values are constructed in terms of the Jack polynomials. The…

Let $f(T)$ be a monic polynomial of degree $d$ with coefficients in a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Extending earlier results in the literature, but now allowing $(q,2d)>1$, we give a criterion for $f$ to satisfy the following property: for…

As a generalization of a fundamental result about the Alexander polynomial of links, we give a description of a Torres condition for the twisted Alexander polynomial of links associated to a unimodular representation.
