TL;DR
This work builds a dynamical-systems framework for polynomials with integer coefficients acting on two-sided streams over the torus via convolution, introducing the stream zeros $\Omega_P$ as the kernel of the $P(z)$-action and linking them to the roots of $P(z)=0$. It develops a symbolic representation $\Xi_P$ through Kaneko's formula, analyzes factorization through the resultant and dimensions of $\Omega_P$, and characterizes the automorphism group $Saut_P$ for low-degree polynomials, including Pell-type structures. The results extend to streams over Galois fields, where the automorphism group becomes cyclic of order $q^k-1$ and can be realized by GF($q$) matrices. Overall, the paper connects algebraic properties of $P$ with the dynamical and symbolic structure of the induced stream system, offering a novel viewpoint on roots and factorization via dynamical methods.
Abstract
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.
