We give a complete combinatorial characterization of all possible polarizations of powers of the graded maximal ideal $(x_1,x_2,\cdots,x_m)^n$ of a polynomial ring in $m$ variables. We also give a combinatorial description of the Alexander…
A conjecture of N. Terai states that for any integer $k>1$, the equation $x^2+(2k-1)^y =k^z$ has only one solution, namely, $(x, y, z) = (k-1, 1, 2).$ Using the structure of class groups of binary quadratic forms, we prove the conjecture…
We provide the twisted Alexander polynomials of finite abelian covers over three-dimensional manifolds whose boundary is a finite union of tori. This is a generalization of a well-known formula for the usual Alexander polynomial of knots in…
We study an analogue of a classical arithmetic problem over the ring of polynomials. We prove that $m = 5$ is the minimal number such that the sums of any two distinct polynomials in a set of $m$ polynomials over $\F_2[x]$ cannot all be of…
Two finite Alexander quandles with the same number of elements are isomorphic iff their Z[t,t^-1]-submodules Im(1-t) are isomorphic as modules. This yields specific conditions on when Alexander quandles of the form Z_n[t,t^-1]/(t-a) where…
We give a formula and an estimation for the number of irreducible polynomials in two (or more) variables over a finite field.
In this paper we present an explicit formula for the number of permutations with a given number of alternating descents. Moreover, we study the interlacing property of the real parts of the zeros of the generating polynomials of these…
It follows from earlier work of Silver-Williams and the authors that twisted Alexander polynomials detect the unknot and the Hopf link. We now show that twisted Alexander polynomials also detect the trefoil and the figure-8 knot, that…
For each prime p other than 3, and each power q=p^k, we present two large classes of permutation polynomials over F_{q^2} of the form X^r B(X^{q-1}) which have at most five terms, where B(X) is a polynomial with coefficients in {1,-1}. The…
Let $f(x)=x^6+Ax^3+B\in {\mathbb Z}[x]$, with $A\ne 0$, and suppose that $f(x)$ is irreducible over ${\mathbb Q}$. We define $f(x)$ to be {\em monogenic} if $\{1,\theta,\theta^2,\theta^3,\theta^4,\theta^{5}\}$ is a basis for the ring of…
Say a trinomial $x^n+A x^m+B \in \Q[x]$ has reducibility type $(n_1,n_2,...,n_k)$ if there exists a factorization of the trinomial into irreducible polynomials in $\Q[x]$ of degrees $n_1$, $n_2$,...,$n_k$, ordered so that $n_1 \leq n_2 \leq…
Szmytkowski derived a certain integral with Gegenbauer polynomials. A natural generalization is to derive lookalike integrals with Jacobi polynomials. Six methods are treated to derive the first integral. The first method should be enough…
To a complex polynomial function $f$ with arbitrary singularities we associate the number of Morse points in a general linear Morsification $f_{t} := f - t\ell$. We produce computable algebraic formulas in terms of invariants of $f$ for the…
For polynomials of degree two which have no zeros, the method of accompanying variables is developed and zeros of associated vector polynomials are determined. Our flexible method uses a wide variety of possible vector-valued vector…
There are three kinds of multiple polylogarithms; complex, finite and symmetric. The dualities for the complex and finite cases are known. In this paper, we present proofs of them via iterated integrals and its symmetric counterpart by a…
We extend results of Cogolludo-Agustin and Libgober relating the Alexander polynomial of a plane curve $C$ with the Mordell--Weil rank of certain isotrivial families of jacobians over $\mathbf{P}^2$ of discriminant $C$. In the second part…
We give algorithms to compute decompositions of a given polynomial, or more generally mixed tensor, as sum of rank one tensors, and to establish whether such a decomposition is unique. In particular, we present methods to compute the…
We publish a table of primitive finite-type invariants of order less than or equal to six, for knots of ten or fewer crossings. We note certain mod-2 congruences, one of which leads to a chirality criterion in the Alexander polynomial. We…
Fox conjectured the Alexander polynomial of an alternating knot is trapezoidal, i.e. the coefficients first increase, then stabilize and finally decrease in a symmetric way. Recently, Hirasawa and Murasugi further conjectured a relation…
In this paper we obtained the formula for the number of irreducible polynomials with degree $n$ over finite fields of characteristic two with given trace and subtrace. This formula is a generalization of the result of Cattell et al.(2003)…
