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: $x^{-2}$, $...

Constant term extraction using combinatorial Nullstellensatz

$\DeclareMathOperator\CT{CT}$Given a Laurent polynomial $g$, let $\CT(g)$ denote its constant term. Consider the specific Laurent polynomial $$f_n(x_1,\dots,x_r)=\left(1+\prod_{j=1}^r(1+x_j)+\prod_{j=...

Integer but not Laurent sequences

Are there any sequence given by a recurrence relation: $x_{n+t}=P(x_t,\cdots,x_{t+n-1})$, where $P$ is a positive Laurent Polynomial, satisfy: if $x_0=\cdots=x_{n-1}=1$, then the sequence is only ...

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 ...

analogues of power sum polynomials for symmetric Laurent polynomials

To deal with root systems of type B C D, one needs to understand symmetric Laurent polynomials $\Lambda$. I am wondering if the naive definition of power sum symmetric Laurent polynomials form a basis ...

Vanishing constant term in powers of a Laurent polynomial

This is motivated by idle curiosity. I recently learned a result of Duistermaat and Van Der Kallen in "Constant terms of powers of a Laurent polynomial" which says that: If the constant term of $f^...
