Greatest distance between zeros of integral polynomials
For a function field K and fixed polynomial F ∈ K[x] and varying f ∈ F (under certain restrictions) we give a lower bound for the degree of the greatest prime divisor of F(f) in terms of the height of f, establishing a strong result for the function field analogue of a classical problem in number theory.
We consider positional numeration systems with negative real base , where , and study the extremal representations in these systems, called here the greedy and lazy representations. We give algorithms for determination of minimal and maximal -representation with respect to the alternate order. We also show that both extremal representations can be obtained as representations in the positive base with a non-integer alphabet. This enables us to characterize digit sequences admissible as greedy...
In this paper, under a mild hypothesis, we prove a conjecture of Gross for the Stickelberger element of the maximal abelian extension over the rational function field unramified outside a set of four degree-one places.
Abstract. Let F be a formally real field. Denote by G(F) and the Grothen-dieck group of quadratic forms over F and its torsion subgroup, respectively. In this paper we study the structure of the factor group . This reduced Grothendieck group is a free Abelian group. The main results of the paper describe some sets of generators for , which in many cases allow us to find a basis for the group. Throughout the paper we use the language of the reduced theory of quadratic forms. In the final part...
