Specializations of one-parameter families of polynomials

Farshid Hajir, Siman Wong (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Let K be a number field, and suppose λ ( x , t ) K [ x , t ] is irreducible over K ( t ) . Using algebraic geometry and group theory, we describe conditions under which the K -exceptional set of λ , i.e. the set of α K for which the specialized polynomial λ ( x , α ) is K -reducible, is finite. We give three applications of the methods we develop. First, we show that for any fixed n 10 , all but finitely many K -specializations of the degree n generalized Laguerre polynomial L n ( t ) ( x ) are K -irreducible and have Galois group S n . Second, we study specializations...

Spectral isomorphisms of Morse flows

T. Downarowicz, Jan Kwiatkowski, Y. Lacroix (2000)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

A combinatorial description of spectral isomorphisms between Morse flows is provided. We introduce the notion of a regular spectral isomorphism and we study some invariants of such isomorphisms. In the case of Morse cocycles taking values in G = p , where p is a prime, each spectral isomorphism is regular. The same holds true for arbitrary finite abelian groups under an additional combinatorial condition of asymmetry in the defining Morse sequence, and for Morse flows of rank one. Rank one is shown to...

Spectral Real Semigroups

M. Dickmann, A. Petrovich (2012)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

The notion of a real semigroup was introduced in [8] to provide a framework for the investigation of the theory of (diagonal) quadratic forms over commutative, unitary, semi-real rings. In this paper we introduce and study an outstanding class of such structures, that we call spectral real semigroups (SRS). Our main results are: (i) The existence of a natural functorial duality between the category of SRSs and that of hereditarily normal spectral spaces; (ii) Characterization of the SRSs as the...

Spectral theta series of operators with periodic bicharacteristic flow

Jens Marklof (2007)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

The theta series ϑ ( z ) = exp ( 2 π i n 2 z ) is a classical example of a modular form. In this article we argue that the trace ϑ P ( z ) = Tr exp ( 2 π i P 2 z ) , where P is a self-adjoint elliptic pseudo-differential operator of order 1 with periodic bicharacteristic flow, may be viewed as a natural generalization. In particular, we establish approximate functional relations under the action of the modular group. This allows a detailed analysis of the asymptotics of ϑ P ( z ) near the real axis, and the proof of logarithm laws and limit theorems for its value...
