Index divisibility in the orbit of 0 for integral polynomials

T. Alden Gassert, Michael T. Urbanski

Let $f(x) \in \bbz[x]$ and consider the index divisibility set $D = \{n \in \bbn : n \mid f^n(0)\}$. We present a number of properties of in the case that $(f^n(0))_{n=1}^\inft…

A family of monogenic quartic fields arising from elliptic curves

T. Alden Gassert, Hanson Smith, Katherine E. Stange

We consider partial torsion fields (fields generated by a root of a division polynomial) for elliptic curves. By analysing the reduction properties of elliptic curves, and applying…

Characterizations of numerical semigroup complements via Apéry sets

T. Alden Gassert, Caleb McKinley Shor

In this paper, we generalize the work of Tuenter to give an identity which completely characterizes the complement of a numerical semigroup in terms of its Apéry sets. Using this r…

On Sylvester sums of compound sequence semigroup complements

Thomas A. Gassert, Caleb M. Shor

In this paper, we consider the set of natural numbers which are not in the numerical semigroup generated by a compound sequence . We generalize a result of Tuen…

Discriminants of Chebyshev Radical Extensions

Thomas Alden Gassert

Let t be any integer and fix an odd prime ell. Let Phi(x) = T_ell^n(x)-t denote the n-fold composition of the Chebyshev polynomial of degree ell shifted by t. If this polynomial is…

Chebyshev Action on Finite Fields

T. Alden Gassert

Given a polynomial f and a finite field F one can construct a directed graph where the vertices are the values in the finite field, and emanating from each vertex is an edge joinin…
