Abstract

We express every admissible word as a $\mathbb{Z}_{(2)}$-linear combination of Hoffman words and explicit confluence relations. This implies that every multiple zeta value is a linear combination of elements of the Hoffman basis with coefficients having odd denominators, as conjectured by Hirose and Sato. Combined with Brown's theorem and Furusho's characterization of the Grothendieck--Teichmüller group $\mathrm{GRT}$ by confluence relations, our result identifies the de Rham motivic Galois group of mixed Tate motives over $\mathbb{Z}$ with $\mathrm{GRT}$ and gives an alternative proof of the Deligne--Drinfeld conjecture, for which a proof was previously presented in the OpenAI Math Release.

Dynamical systems defined by polynomials with algebraic properties

Let (x_n; n\in Z) be a bisequence of elements x_n in the 1-dimensional torus R/Z, which is called a stream over R/Z. Let P(z)=a_k z^k+...+a_1 z+a_0 be a polynomial with integer coefficients. Define the set of streams over R/Z such that the convolution product P(z)\times(x_n; n\in Z)=(\sum_{i=0}^k a_i x_{n-i}; n\in Z)=(0; n\in Z), which is called the stream 0 of P. We study similarities between stream 0 of P and the roots of P(z)=0.

Effective existence of primitive k-normal elements via affine spaces

Let $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ be the finite field with $q^n$ elements. An element $α\in \mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ is $k$-normal over $\mathbb{F}_q$ if $α$ and its conjugates span an $\mathbb{F}_q$-subspace of dimension $n-k$. It is known that, for $q$ sufficiently large, a primitive $k$-normal element exists if and only if there exists a $k$-normal element free of binomials, but the lower bound on $q$ is not explicit. We count the $k$-normal elements in specific affine subspaces of $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ and show that, in some of them, all but at most one element is $k$-normal. Combining this with character sum estimates over affine spaces and a sieve, we obtain an explicit lower bound on $q$ above which a primitive $k$-normal element exists, provided there is a $k$-normal element free of binomials whose $\mathbb{F}_q$-order has a linear factor or is irreducible. As an application, we compute these bounds for $5 \le n \le 8$ and give a complete characterization of the existence of primitive $k$-normal elements in $\mathbb{F}_{q^6}$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$.
