In this work, we show that if $h(x)$ is an irreducible monic integer polynomial of degree $2q$ (with $q$ prime), whose defining field extension of $\mathbb{Q}$ contains a Galois extension of degree $q$, then there is a positive density of integers $n$ such that $h(n)$ is squarefree; in particular, $h(n)$ is squarefree for infinitely many integers $n$. As an application, we prove that the family of exceptional cubic fields contains an infinite subfamily whose unit shapes converge to the hexagonal lattice. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of a family of non-Galois totally real cubic fields whose unit shapes converge to the hexagonal lattice.
Let $K$ be an infinite field of characteristic $2$. It is well known that the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{gl}_2(K)=M_2(K)^{(-)}$ of all $2\times 2$ matrices does not admit a finite basis of polynomial identities. Similarly, the finite basis problem for the associative algebra $M_2(K)$ remains open. In this note, we obtain t...
Fix a degree $n$, a nonzero integer constant term, and some further coefficients of a monic integer polynomial, leaving $s$ coefficients to vary in $[-H,H]$. We first prove that, when only the leading and constant coefficients are fixed, the number of polynomials whose Galois group is not $S_n$ is of order $H^{n-2}$ fo...
We study the Galois group $G_f$ of a random polynomial $f$ in the family of polynomials of degree $2n$ satisfying the twisted reciprocal relation $f(x) = x^{2n}/b^n \cdot f(b/x)$. We use a Euclidean height adapted to this relation. Our main result is an asymptotic theorem of van der Waerden--Bhargava type: for fixed $b...
We construct an explicit infinite family of simple two-dimensional Cayley complexes over $\mathbb{F}_2^n$ whose degree is polynomial in $n$ and whose nontrivial vertex-link eigenvalues lie in $[-\lambda,\lambda]$ for every fixed $\lambda>0$. For every fixed $d\ge2$, we also obtain an explicit infinite family of weighte...
Let $G$ be a finite group. We prove that the order of the abelianization $G/G'$ divides the order of $H^{2m}(G,\mathbb{Z})$ for every $m\geq1$. As a consequence, for a field $K$, nonvanishing of $Ext^1_{KG}(K,K)$ implies nonvanishing of $Ext^n_{KG}(K,K)$ for every $n\geq1$. This answers a conjecture by Erdmann, Kl\'asz...
Let $K$ be a number field of degree $D$ with maximal order $\mathcal{O}_K$. We show that under certain conditions on $K$, which in particular are always satisfied if $D$ is odd or if $D \geq 3$ and $K$ is primitive, the set of positive integers $N_K$ that can be expressed as a sum of two units in $\mathcal{O}_K^*$ is a...
