In this paper we study ultraflat sequences (Pn) of unimodular polynomials Pn ∈ Kn in general, not necessarily those produced by Kahane in his paper [Ka]. We examine how far is a sequence (Pn) of unimodular polynomials Pn ∈ Kn from being conjugate reciprocal. Our main results include the following. Theorem. Given a sequence (εn) of positive numbers tending to 0, assume that (Pn) is a (εn)-ultraf...

Contemporary Jews retain a genetic imprint from their Near Eastern ancestry, but obtained substantial genetic components from their neighboring populations during their history.

To address this issue, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA...
