An efficient algorithm is presented for factoring polynomials over an algebraic extension field. The extension field is defined by a polynomial ring modulo a maximal ideal. If the ideal is given by its Gröbner basis, no extra Gröbner basis computation is needed for factoring a polynomial over the extension field. We will only use linear algebra to get a polynomial over the base field by a gener...

We call a module  essentially retractable if HomR for all essential submodules N of M. For a right FBN ring R, it is shown that: (i)  A non-zero module  is retractable (in the sense that HomR for all non-zero ) if and only if certain factor modules of M are essentially retractable nonsingular modules over R modulo their annihilators. (ii)  A non-zero module  is essentially retractable if and on...

The Ritt problem asks if there is an algorithm that tells whether one prime differential ideal is contained in another one if both are given by their characteristic sets. We give several equivalent formulations of this problem. In particular, we show that it is equivalent to testing if a differential polynomial is a zero divisor modulo a radical differential ideal. The technique used in the pro...

A bstract We investigate the reduction of Feynman integrals to master using Gröbner bases in a rational double-shift algebra Y which integration-by-parts (IBP) relations form left ideal. The problem reducing given family can then be solved once and for all by computing basis ideal formed IBP relations. demonstrate this explicitly several examples. introduce so-called first-order normal-form we ...

Geometric aspects of the filtration on classical links by k-quasi-isotopy are discussed, including the effect of Whitehead doubling, relations with Smythe's n-splitting and Kobayashi's k-contractibility. One observation is: ω-quasi-isotopy is equivalent to PL isotopy for links in a homotopy 3-sphere (resp. contractible open 3-manifold) M if and only if M is homeomorphic to S 3 (resp. R 3). As a...
