  1. Balanced $0,1$-words and the Galois group of $(x+1)^n-\lambda x^p$.

    Authors: Lev Glebsky
    Subjects: Combinatorics
    Abstract

    We study the number of $0,1$-words where the fraction of 0 is "almost" fixed
    for any initial subword. It turns out that this study use and reveal the
    structure of the Galois group (the monodromy group) of the polynomials
    $(x+1)^n-\lambda x^p$. ($p$ is not necessary a prime here.)

  2. Almost commuting matrices with respect to normalized Hilbert-Schmidt norm.

    Abstract

    Almost-commuting matrices with respect to the normalized Hilbert-Schmidt norm
    are considered. Normal almost commuting matrices are proved to be near
    commuting.

  3. Short Cycles in Repeated Exponentiation Modulo a Prime.

    Abstract

    Given a prime $p$, we consider the dynamical system generated by repeated
    exponentiations modulo $p$, that is, by the map $u \mapsto f_g(u)$, where
    $f_g(u) \equiv g^u \pmod p$ and $0 \le f_g(u) \le p-1$. This map is in
    particular used in a number of constructions of cryptographically secure
    pseudorandom generators. We obtain nontrivial upper bounds on the number of
    fixed points and short cycles in the above dynamical system.
