We prove the following theorem: let $\mathcal{M}_d$ denote the set of $d \times d$ matrices over an infinite field $K$, and let ${(K^d)^*}$ be the set of row vectors. Define an action of $\mathrm{SL}_d(K)$ on $X:= \mathcal{M}_d \oplus (K^d)^*$ by \[ g \cdot (A,\phi) = (gAg^{-1}, \phi g^{-1}).\] Then $K[X]^{\mathrm{SL}_d}$ is a polynomial ring, generated by the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of $A$ and one further invariant, namely $\Delta(A,\phi):= \det(\phi,\phi A,\phi A^2,\ldots, \phi A^{d-1})^t.$ Our proof is entirely classical in nature, but we give an interpretation of the result and its proof in terms of quiver representation theory.
Let $k=\mathbb{F}_q$, $E=\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ and $\mathrm{Tr}=\mathrm{Tr}_{E/k}$. For $r\ge 2$, $a\in k^{\times}$ and $x\in E^{\times}$, let $\mathrm{N}(E,r,x,a)$ be the number of $r$-tuples $(x_1,\cdots,x_r)$ in $(E^{\times})^r$ satisfying $x_1\cdots x_r=x$ and $\mathrm{Tr}(x_1+\cdots+x_r)=a$. We prove $\left|\mathrm{N}(E,r,x,a)-\left((q^n-1)^{r-1}+(-1)^r\right)/q\right|\le (r^n-1) q^{\frac{(r-1)n-1}{2}}$. This proves the square-root estimate predicted in Wan's conjecture and generalizes a previous result of Moisio and Wan. For a finite semisimple algebra $B=\prod\limits_{i=1}^s M_{d_i}(\mathbb{F}_{q^{n_i}})$ over $k$ and a regular element $x\in B^{\times}$, the same method combined with Zelingher's formula leads to analogous square-root estimates.
Let $d\ge 2$ be an integer and let $c_0(t),\dots, c_{d-2}(t)\in\bar{\mathbb{Q}}[t]$. We consider the family of normalized polynomials $f_\lambda(z):=z^d+\sum_{i=0}^{d-2} c_i(\lambda)\cdot z^i$ parameterized by $\lambda\in\bar{\mathbb{Q}}$; the generic element of our family of polynomials is $f_t(z):=z^d+\sum_{i=0}^{d-2}c_i(t)\cdot z^i\in \bar{\mathbb{Q}}[t][z]$. Also, let $\alpha_1(t),\alpha_2(t),\beta(t)\in\bar{\mathbb{Q}}[t]$, where $\alpha_i(t)$ is not preperiodic under the action of $f_t(z)$ for each $i=1,2$. Under some natural hypotheses, we obtain precise necessary and sufficient conditions for which there exist infinitely many $\lambda\in\bar{\mathbb{Q}}$ with the property that for some $m,n\in\mathbb{N}$ (depending on $\lambda$), we have that $f_\lambda^m(\alpha_1(\lambda))=f_\lambda^n(\alpha_2(\lambda))=\beta(\lambda)$.
Let $\varphi_{d}(|{\,\cdot\,}|)$ be the radial extremal function in the problem for the sharp Nikolskii constant $\mathcal C_d^{-1}=\inf \|f\|_{1}$ over functions $f\in\mathit{PW}\,_{1}^{1}(\mathbb R^{d})$, $f(0)=1$. For every odd dimension, we construct an entire function $\Phi$ of exponential type $1/2$ such that $\varphi_d(z)=\Phi(z)\Phi(-z)$, and $\Phi$ satisfies a quadratic functional equation and a second-order linear differential equation with polynomial coefficients. Thus, the problem of finding the extremal function is reduced to a spectral problem with finitely many parameters. This result extends a recent one-dimensional result, but uses a different method. For example, in dimension $d=3$ it leads to a seven-diagonal spectral scheme that allows us to compute $\mathcal C_3$ to high accuracy. Even dimensions remain open within this approach.
For $k\geq1$, let $M_k=[(z-w)^k]\subset H^2(\mathbb D^2)$. We first determine the banded Toeplitz matrices associated with the homogeneous components of $M_k$, together with explicit formulas for their determinants and the relevant algebraic cofactors. These formulas lead to a complete description of the spectrum of the core operator: \[ \sigma(C_{M_k}) = \{0,1\} \cup \left\{ \pm\frac{k}{n+k}:n\geq1 \right\}. \] In particular, the spectral data determine the parameter $k$. The determinant and cofactor formulas further yield a unified finite-sum representation for $\alpha_{n,j}^{(k)} =\langle w^j\phi_n,z^j\psi_n\rangle$, and hence for Yang's higher numerical invariants. We derive an adjacent relation connecting $\alpha_{n,j}^{(k)}$ and $\alpha_{n,j+1}^{(k)}$ by means of an explicit telescoping certificate, and show that the corresponding finite-section transformations are strict contractions. Combining these finite-dimensional estimates with the asymptotic behavior of $\alpha_{n,j}^{(k)}$, we prove the strict monotonicity \[ \Sigma_0(M_k)>\Sigma_1(M_k)>\Sigma_2(M_k)>\cdots . \] The cases $k\geq3$ constitute the new part of the analysis, while the previously known cases $k=1,2$ are recovered within the same framework. Consequently, Yang's monotonicity conjecture holds in strict form for the entire family $\{[(z-w)^k]:k\geq1\}$.
Let $V$ be an $n$-dimensional vector space over the finite field $\mathbb F_q$, and let $\mathcal F\subsetneq\genfrac{[}{]}{0pt}{}{V}{k}$. The \emph{projective Ore-degree} of $\mathcal F$ is the minimum, over all $k$-subspaces $S\notin\mathcal F$, of the sum of the $\mathcal F$-degrees of the projective points contained in $S$. We prove sharp projective Ore analogues of the vector-space Erd\H{o}s--Ko--Rado and Hilton--Milner theorems. The Ore--Erd\H{o}s--Ko--Rado theorem holds for $n\ge2k+1$, with equality only for a full point-star. For nontrivial intersecting families, we determine the sharp Ore--Hilton--Milner threshold, together with the complete equality classification, when $q\ge3$ and $n\ge2k+1$, or when $q\ge2$ and $n\ge2k+2$. We further determine a sharp projective Ore-degree threshold forcing a direct-sum matching of size $s$ when $s\ge3$ and $n\ge(2s-1)k-s+4$, and derive a multicolour Ramsey consequence.

Let $D\subset\mathbb{P}^n$, $n\geqslant2$, be an arbitrary cubic hypersurface, and let $D_{\mathrm{red}}$ denote its reduced support. We prove that $\mathbb{P}^n\setminus D$ is holomorphically elliptic, and hence Oka, unless $D_{\mathrm{red}}$ is the union of three distinct hyperplanes containing a common codimension-two linear subspace. In the exceptional case, $\mathbb{P}^n\setminus D\cong(\mathbb{C}\setminus\{0,1\})\times\mathbb{C}^{n-1}$, so the complement is not Oka. As applications, we prove that, for every elliptic curve $E$, the space of degree-three holomorphic maps $E\to\mathbb{P}^1$, and the space of degree-three holomorphic self-maps of $\mathbb{P}^1$, are both holomorphically elliptic, and hence Oka. The second application is connected with the classification through an irreducible cubic hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^4$.
