Abstract
AbstractKurt Mahler in 1982 studied a special sequence of very sparse (0,1)-polynomials which have only powers of 2 as exponents. In this paper we study divisibility properties of these polynomials by certain cyclotomic polynomials and prove an explicit version of a result that was given only implicitly by Mahler. We also consider the distribution of real and complex noncyclotomic zeros, improving some of Mahler’s results. Then we show that the derivatives of the polynomials of Mahler have all their zeros inside the unit circle. We conclude this paper with some further remarks and open questions. Additional informationNotes on contributorsKarl DilcherKARL DILCHER received his undergraduate education at the Technische Universität Clausthal in Germany. He then did his graduate studies at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, and finished his Ph.D. there in 1983 under the supervision of Paulo Ribenboim. He is currently a professor at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, where he first arrived in 1984 as a postdoctoral fellow. His research interests include classical analysis, special functions, and elementary and computational number theory.Larry EricksenLARRY ERICKSEN received his BS degree in Engineering Physics at Cornell University, where he helped construct the university’s high energy particle accelerator. Later he obtained an MBA degree in International Business Development from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. He joined the private sector as a management consultant and held executive positions in industry, both domestically and overseas. Now in his retirement, he serves on the boards of environmental organizations, art museums, and multicultural institutions.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
