On the monogenicity of power-compositional Shanks polynomials
Lenny Jones
Let be a monic polynomial of degree that is irreducible over . We say is \emph{monogenic} if is a b…
Generalized Wall-Sun-Sun primes and monogenic power compositional trinomials
Lenny Jones
For positive integers and , we let be the Lucas sequence of the first kind defined by \[U_0=0,\quad U_1=1\quad \mbox{and} \quad U_n=aU_{n-1}+bU_{n-2} \quad \mbox{ fo…
A new condition for -Wall-Sun-Sun primes
Lenny Jones
Let be an integer, and let be the Lucas sequence of the first kind defined by \begin{equation*}\label{Eq:Lucas} U_0=0,\quad U_1=1\quad \mbox{and} \quad U_n=kU_{n-1…
A Connection Between the Monogenicity of Certain Power-Compositional Trinomials and -Wall-Sun-Sun Primes
Lenny Jones
We say that a monic polynomial of degree is monogenic if is irreducible over and \[\{1,θ,θ^2,\ldots, θ^{N-1}\}\] is a basis for th…
The Irreducibility and Monogenicity of Power-Compositional Trinomials
Joshua Harrington, Lenny Jones
A polynomial of degree is called \emph{monogenic} if is irreducible over and is a basis for the ring…
Characteristic Polynomials of Simple Ordinary Abelian Varieties over Finite Fields
Lenny Jones
We provide an easy method for the construction of characteristic polynomials of simple ordinary abelian varieties of dimension over a finite field ${\mathbb F}_q…
Monogenic cyclotomic compositions
Joshua Harrington, Lenny Jones
Let and be positive integers, and let be a prime. Let , where is the cyclotomic polynomial of index . In this article,…
Monogenic trinomials with non-squarefree discriminant
Lenny Jones, Daniel White
For each integer , we identify new infinite families of monogenic trinomials with non-squarefree discriminant, many of which have small Galois group. Thes…
On Primitive Covering Numbers
Lenny Jones, Daniel White
In 2007, Zhi-Wei Sun defined a \emph{covering number} to be a positive integer such that there exists a covering system of the integers where the moduli are distinct divisors o…
Representing Integers as the Sum of Two Squares in the Ring
Joshua Harrington, Lenny Jones, Alicia Lamarche
A classical theorem in number theory due to Euler states that a positive integer can be written as the sum of two squares if and only if all prime factors of , with $q\e…
Using Lucas Sequences to Generalize a Theorem of Sierpiński
Lenny Jones
In 1960, Sierpiński proved that there exist infinitely many odd positive integers such that is composite for all positive integers . In this paper, we prove s…
Polynomial Cunningham Chains
Lenny Jones
Let . A sequence of prime numbers , such that for all , is called a {\it Cunningham chain} of the first or second kind, depen…
