How to find the Newton polygon of the polynomial product $ prod_{i=1}^{p^2} (1-iX)$

How to find the Newton polygon of the polynomial product $ prod_{i=1}^{p^2} (1-iX)$ ?



Answer:



Let $ f(X)=prod_{i=1}^{p^2} (1-iX)=(1-X)(1-2X) cdots (1-pX) cdots (1-p^2X).$



If I multiply , then we will get a polynomial of degree $p^2$.



But it is complicated to express it as a polynomial form.



So it is complicated to calculate the vertices $ (0, ord_p(a_0)), (1, ord_p(a_1)), (2, ord_p(a_2)), cdots cdots$



of the above product.

          It’s really quite simple. There are $p^2-p$ roots $rho$ with $v(rho)=0$, $p-1$ roots with $v(rho)=-1$, and one root with $v(rho)=-2$. Consequently, there is one segment of the polygon with slope $0$ and width $p^2-p$, one segment with slope $1$ and width $p-1$, and one segment with slope $2$ and width $1$.



          Thus, the vertices are $(0,0)$, $(p^2-p,0)$, $(p^2-1,p-1)$, and $(p^2,p+1)$.

          • Does this result hold for $p=2$ ? Because for $p=2$, we have $f(X)=(1-X)(1-2X)(1-3X)(1-4X)=1-10X+35X^2-50X^3+24X^4$. Thus the vertices are $$ (0,0), (1,1), (2,0),(3,1), (4,3) $$. The vertex $(1,1)$ makes disturbance . Would you please do little bit more?

          Partial Answer: regarding the coefficients of the polynomial:



          Fix one term in the brackets, say $Y=(1-5X)$. In order for the coefficient $5$ to contribute to $a_j$, we have to multiply $Y$ with $j-1$ other brackets, since this is the only way of getting a power of $j$ for $X$. This corresponds to choosing a subset $S in {1,2,ldots,p^{2}}$ of size $j-1$ since each term in the product has a unique coefficient for $X$ that is in ${1,2,ldots,p^{2}}$. This leads to



          begin{equation}
          a_j=(-1)^{j} underset{ S subset {1,2, ldots, p^{2} }, |S|=j}{sum} prod limits_{s in S} s .

          Partial Answer: regarding the coefficients of the polynomial:



          Fix one term in the brackets, say $Y=(1-5X)$. In order for the coefficient $5$ to contribute to $a_j$, we have to multiply $Y$ with $j-1$ other brackets, since this is the only way of getting a power of $j$ for $X$. This corresponds to choosing a subset $S in {1,2,ldots,p^{2}}$ of size $j-1$ since each term in the product has a unique coefficient for $X$ that is in ${1,2,ldots,p^{2}}$. This leads to



          begin{equation}
          a_j=(-1)^{j} underset{ S subset {1,2, ldots, p^{2} }, |S|=j}{sum} prod limits_{s in S} s .
          end{equation}

          • @M.A. SARKAR What do you mean by $ord_p(a_j)$? I dont know these kind of polynomials but thought an expression for the coefficnets might help

          • This is from discrete valuation field like p-adic field and $ord_p$ is a valuation function. If $ a_j=frac{a}{b}p^n$, where $a,b$ are coprime then $ ord_p(a_j)=n$.

            I see, should I add my answer as a comment, sicne I don't see how to find $ord_{p}(a_j)$ right now.
