Representations of multivariate polynomials by sums of univariate polynomials in linear forms

A. Białynicki-Birula, A. Schinzel (2008)

Colloquium Mathematicae

The paper is concentrated on two issues: presentation of a multivariate polynomial over a field K, not necessarily algebraically closed, as a sum of univariate polynomials in linear forms defined over K, and presentation of a form, in particular a zero form, as the sum of powers of linear forms projectively distinct defined over an algebraically closed field. An upper bound on the number of summands in presentations of all (not only generic) polynomials and forms of a given number of variables and...

Sharper ABC-based bounds for congruent polynomials

Daniel J. Bernstein (2005)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Agrawal, Kayal, and Saxena recently introduced a new method of proving that an integer is prime. The speed of the Agrawal-Kayal-Saxena method depends on proven lower bounds for the size of the multiplicative semigroup generated by several polynomials modulo another polynomial h . Voloch pointed out an application of the Stothers-Mason ABC theorem in this context: under mild assumptions, distinct polynomials A , B , C of degree at most 1 . 2 deg h - 0 . 2 deg rad A B C cannot all be congruent modulo h . This paper presents two improvements...

Single polynomials that correspond to pairs of cyclotomic polynomials with interlacing zeros

James McKee, Chris Smyth (2013)

Open Mathematics

We give a complete classification of all pairs of cyclotomic polynomials whose zeros interlace on the unit circle, making explicit a result essentially contained in work of Beukers and Heckman. We show that each such pair corresponds to a single polynomial from a certain special class of integer polynomials, the 2-reciprocal discbionic polynomials. We also show that each such pair also corresponds (in four different ways) to a single Pisot polynomial from a certain restricted class, the cyclogenic...

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...
