Roots multiplicity without companion matrices

We show a method for constructing a polynomial interpolating roots' multiplicities of another polynomial, that does not use companion matrices. This leads to a modification to Guersenzvaig--Szechtman square-free decomposition algorithm that is more efficient both in theory and in practice

Graph of even points on an arithmetic curve

We show that the points of a global function field, whose classes are 2-divisible in the Picard group, form a connected graph, with the incidence relation generalizing the well known quadratic reciprocity law. We prove that for every global function field the dimension of this graph is precisely 2. In addition we develop an analog of global square theorem that concerns points 2-divisible in the Picard group

Places, cuts and orderings of function fields

In this paper we investigate the space of $\mathbb{R}$-places of an algebraic function field of one variable. We deal with the problem of determining when two orderings of such a field correspond to a single $\mathbb{R}$-place. To this end we introduce and study the space of cuts on a real curve and prove that the space is homeomorphic to the space of orderings. Finally, we prove that two cuts (consequently, two orderings) correspond to a single $\mathbb{R}$-place if they are induced by a single ultrametric ball.Comment: 16 page

Nuclear radiation environment analysis for thermoelectric outer planet spacecraft

Neutron and gamma ray transport calculations were performed using Monte Carlo methods and a three-dimensional geometric model of the spacecraft. The results are compared with similar calculations performed for an earlier design
