Close points on a modular hyperbola

Number Theory 2025-06-05 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we continue the study of small squares containing at least two points on a modular hyperbola xyc(modp)x y \equiv c \pmod{p}. We deduce a lower bound for its side length. We also investigate what happens if the ``distances" between two such points are special type of numbers like prime numbers, squarefree numbers or smooth numbers as well as more general multiplicatively closed sets or almost dense sets.
