Number of Laurent monomials of n variables with degree at most d
Introduction: We have a question of how to calculate the number of $n$-variables Laurent monomials of degree at most $d$.
For example: If $n=2$, $d=2$ then we have 19 monomials, which are:
$x^{-2}$, $...

" Laurent expansion" of quasi-periodic complex complex function
Suppose a complex function $f(z)$ depends only on $z$, and satisfies the quasi-periodicity in both directions:
$$f(z+ a_x)= e^{i \theta_{a_x}} f(z)$$
$$f(z+ i a_y)= e^{i \theta_{a_y}} f(z)$$
where $\...

Denominators of certain Laurent polynomials
Consider the following somos-like sequence
$$x_n=\frac{x_{n-1}^2+x_{n-2}^2}{x_{n-3}}.$$
It's known that $x_n$ is a Laurent polynomial in $x_0, x_1$ and $x_2$. I got interested in the denominators of ...

Cancellation problem for Laurent polynomial rings and power series rings
Throughout, let $k$ be an algebraically closed field. For two $k$-algebras $A,B$ let us write $A \cong_k B$ to mean that $A,B$ are isomorphic as $k$-algebras.
It is known that if $A$ is an integral ...
