A subset R of the integers modulo n is defined to be a root set if it is the set of roots of some polynomial. Using the Chinese Remainder Theorem, the question of finding and counting root sets mod n is reduced to finding root sets modulo a prime power. In this paper, we provide a recursive construc

β¦ Synopsis
In general , not every set of values modulo n will be the set of roots modulo n of some polynomial . In this note , some characteristics of those sets which are root sets modulo a prime power are developed , and these characteristics are used to determine the number of dif ferent sets of integers which are root sets of polynomials modulo some prime powers .

We study set systems satisfying Frankl Wilson-type conditions modulo prime powers. We prove that the size of such set systems is polynomially bounded, in contrast with V. Grolmusz's recent result that for non-prime-power moduli, no polynomial bound exists. More precisely we prove the following resul
This paper gives nearly optimal lower bounds on the minimum degree of polynomial calculus refutations of Tseitin's graph tautologies and the mod p counting principles, p 2. The lower bounds apply to the polynomial calculus over fields or rings. These are the first linear lower bounds for the polynom
Let H be a separable infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space and let A B β B H , where B H is the algebra of operators on H into itself. Let Ξ΄ A B B H β B H denote the generalized derivation Ξ΄ AB X = AX -XB. This note considers the relationship between the commutant of an operator and the commuta
Let f X be an integer polynomial which is a product of two irreducible factors. Assume that f X has a root mod p for all primes p. If the splitting field of f X over the rationals is a cyclic extension of the stem fields, then the Galois group of f X over the rationals is soluble and of bounded Fitt
