Return probability on Bienaymé-Galton-Watson trees and spectral asymptotics of sparse Erdős-Rényi random graphs

Markus Heydenreich, Peter Müller, Sara Terveer

We derive an upper bound for the annealed return probability of the simple random walk on supercritical Bienaymé-Galton-Watson trees. The bound decays subexponentially in time …

A note on Galois groups of linearized polynomials

Peter Müller

Let be a monic -linearized polynomial over of degree , where is an odd prime. Recently Gow and McGuire showed that the Galois group of over the…

On transitive sets of derangements in primitive groups

Peter Müller

We construct a primitive permutation action of the Steinberg triality group of degree and show that there are distinct points such that there is no deran…

Decompositions of rational functions over real and complex numbers and a question about invariant curves

Peter Müller

We consider the connection of functional decompositions of rational functions over the real and complex numbers, and a question about curves on a Riemann sphere which are invariant…

Another Proof of Segre's Theorem about Ovals

Peter Müller

In 1955 B. Segre showed that any oval in a projective plane over a finite field of odd order is a conic. His proof constructs a conic which matches the oval in some points and tang…

Low-degree planar monomials in characteristic two

Peter Mueller, Michael E. Zieve

Planar functions over finite fields give rise to finite projective planes and other combinatorial objects. They exist only in odd characteristic, but recently Zhou introduced an ev…

Galois groups of multivariate Tutte polynomials

Adam Bohn, Peter J. Cameron, Peter Müller

The multivariate Tutte polynomial of a matroid is a generalization of the standard two-variable version, obtained by assigning a separate variable to each elem…

On the non-existence of sharply transitive sets of permutations in certain finite permutation groups

Peter Müller, Gabor P. Nagy

In this short note we present a simple combinatorial trick which can be effectively applied to show the non--existence of sharply transitive sets of permutations in certain finite…

Quadratic Factors of

Manisha Kulkarni, Peter Müller, B. Sury

We classify the pairs of polynomials over a field , such that has a factor of total degree at most 2. This was done by Y. Bilu for characteristic 0 fields .…

The rational function analogue of a question of Schur and exceptionality of permutation representations

Robert M. Guralnick, Peter Müller, Jan Saxl

In 1923 Schur considered the following problem. Let f(X) be a polynomial with integer coefficients that induces a bijection on the residue fields Z/pZ for infinitely many primes p.…
