On associated discriminants for polynomials in one variable
In this note we introduce a family Σ i , i = 0, . . . , n − 2 of discriminants in the space P n of polynomials of degree n in one variable and study some of their algebraic and topological properties following [Ar]-[Va] and [GKZ]. The discriminant Σ i consists of all polynomials p such that some nontrivial linear combination α 0 p+α 1 p ′ +· · ·+α i p (i) has a zero of multiplicity greater or equal i+2. In particular, using the inversion of differential operators with constant coefficients (which induces the nonlinear involution on P n ) we obtain the algebraic isomorphism of Σ i and Σ n−2−i for all i.
On the discriminant of pure number fields
Colloquium Mathematicum, 2021
Let K = Q(n √ a) be an extension of degree n of the field Q of rational numbers, where the integer a is such that for each prime p dividing n either p ∤ a or the highest power of p dividing a is coprime to p; this condition is clearly satisfied when a, n are coprime or a is squarefree. The paper contains an explicit formula for the discriminant of K involving only the prime powers dividing a, n.
Characterization of Classes of Polynomial Functions
Mediterranean Journal of Mathematics, 2014
In this paper some classes of local polynomial functions on abelian groups are characterized by the properties of their variety. For this characterization we introduce a numerical quantity depending on the variety of the local polynomial only. Moreover, we show that the known characterization of polynomials among generalized polynomials can be simplified: a generalized polynomial is a polynomial if and only if its variety contains finitely many linearly independent additive functions.
Discriminant and integral basis of pure nonic fields
arXiv (Cornell University), 2022
Let K = Q(θ) be an algebraic number field with θ satisfying an irreducible polynomial x 9 − a over the field Q of rationals and Z K denote the ring of algebraic integers of K. In this article, we provide the exact power of each prime which divides the index of the subgroup Z[θ] in Z K. Further, we give a p-integral basis of K for each prime p. These p-integral bases lead to a construction of an integral basis of K which is illustrated with examples.
The discriminant of an algebraic torus
Journal of Number Theory, 2011
For a torus T defined over a global field K, we revisit an analytic class number formula obtained by Shyr in the 1970's as a generalization of Dirichlet's class number formula. We prove a local-global presentation of the quasi-discriminant of T , which enters into this formula, in terms of cocharacters of T. This presentation can serve as a more natural definition of this invariant.
On roots of polynomials with positive coefficients
Publications de l'Institut Mathematique, 2011
Let α be an algebraic number with no nonnegative conjugates over the field of the rationals. Settling a recent conjecture of Kuba, Dubickas proved that the number α is a root of a polynomial, say P , with positive rational coefficients. We give in this note an upper bound for the degree of P in terms of the discriminant, the degree and the Mahler measure of α; this answers a question of Dubickas.

. A function or a power series f is called differentially algebraic if it satisfies a Ž X Ž n. . differential equation of the form P x, y, y , . . . , y s 0, where P is a nontrivial polynomial. This notion is usually defined only over fields of characteristic zero and is not so significant over fields of characteristic p ) 0 as f Ž p. ' 0. For a formal power series over a perfect field K of positive characteristic we shall define an analogue of the concept of a differentially algebraic power series. We shall show that these series together with ordinary addition and multiplication of series form a field ⌫ with some natural properties. We also show that ⌫ is not closed under K K the Hadamard product operation. ᮊ 1998 Academic Press X Ž n.
The Identity of Three Classes of Polynomials
General Mathematics, 2005
It is well-known that, if f ∈ R[X], deg(f) = n ≥ 2 and Df divides f , then f is a scalar multiple of the n-th power of a monic polynomial of first degree, X +a, with a certain a ∈ R (it can be proved solving a simple differential equation which contains the associated polynomial function of f and its derivative). The converse assertion is obvious. In this paper, in the main result, we will show that, adding a simple supplimentar normating condition, the two classes defined by the mentioned properties also coincide with the class of the polynomials f which are reciprocal simultaneously with Df ; but it results that a = 1. This result also will be considered in the general situation of the polynomials of K[X], where K is an infinite commutative field an we will use only the formal derivative D. Finally we will pass in the umbral calculus and we will transpose the result in the case of a certain delta operator Q, in relation to its basic sequence (p n) n .
