Small sums of roots of unity
Alexandros Kalogirou
We address the question of how small a non-vanishing sum of -th roots of unity with terms can be. We show upper bounds of the shape , where $α_k\rightarrow\infty…

On the irreducibility of the non-cyclotomic part of most 0,1-polynomials with few terms
Michael Filaseta, Alexandros Kalogirou
We provide an alternative exposition of a result due to Schinzel. Fix an integer . For almost all choices of positive integers , we show that the p…

Irreducibility of lacunary polynomials with 0,1 coefficients
Alexandros Kalogirou
We show that -polynomials of high degree and few terms are irreducible with high probability. Formally, let and , where $ 0<n_1<\c…

Covering systems with the sum of the reciprocals of the moduli close to
Michael Filaseta, Alexandros Kalogirou
In 1952, H. Davenport posed the problem of determining a condition on the minimum modulus in a finite distinct covering system that would imply that the sum of the reciproc…
