We study nonnegative (psd) real sextic forms $q(x_0,x_1,x_2)$ that are not sums of squares (sos). Such a form has at most ten real zeros. We give a complete and explicit characterization of all sets $S\subset\mathbb{P}^2(\mathbb{R})$ with…

Applying the Picard-Fuchs equation to the discontinuous differential system, we obtain the upper bounds of the number of zeros for Abelian integrals of four kinds of quadratic differential systems when it is perturbed inside all…

Inspired by several alternative definitions of continued fraction expansions for elements in $\mathbb Q_p$, we study $p$-adically convergent periodic continued fractions with partial quotients in $\mathbb Z[1/p]$. To this end, following a…

Let $p$ be an odd prime and $d = p^{\tau}(p-1)$. In the spirit of Aritn's conjecture, consider the system of two diagonal forms of degree $d$ in $s$ variables given by \begin{equation*}\begin{split} a_1x_1^d + \cdots + a_sx_s^d = 0\\…

Using $p$-adic numbers, we partially categorize the cycles of a sizable class of polynomial dynamical systems. In turn, we prove a few results related to the non-trivial cycles of the $\textit{Collatz map}$ $\text{Col} : \mathbb{Z}_+ \to…

Quadratic forms over Z that represent all positive integers are called universal. Starting with Ramanujan, 54 universal quaternary quadratic forms without cross product terms were discovered. The form that is the sum of four squares was…

Continued fractions have been generalized over the field of $p$-adic numbers, where it is still not known an analogue of the famous Lagrange's Theorem. In general, the periodicity of $p$-adic continued fractions is well studied and…

Every linear, quadratic or cubic polynomial having all real zeros is the derivative of a polynomial having all real zeros. The statement is false for higher degree polynomials. In particular, not every fourth degree polynomial with real…

In this note, we give an elementary proof of the following classical fact. Any positive definite ternary quadratic form over the rational numbers fails to represent infinitely many positive integers. For any ternary quadratic form (positive…

In this paper we establish three results on small-height zeros of quadratic polynomials over $\overline{\mathbb Q}$. For a single quadratic form in $N \geq 2$ variables on a subspace of $\overline{\mathbb Q}^N$, we prove an upper bound on…

For any positive integer M we show that there are infinitely many real quadratic fields that do not admit M-ary universal quadratic forms (without any restriction on the parity of their cross coefficients).

We study the singular series associated to a cubic form with integer coefficients. If the number of variables is at least $10$, we prove the absolute convergence (and hence positivity) under the assumption of Davenport's Geometric…

We consider summation of some finite and infinite functional p-adic series with factorials. In particular, we are interested in the infinite series which are convergent for all primes p, and have the same integer value for an integer…

We prove that an additive form of degree $d=2m$, $m$ odd over any totally ramified extension of $\mathbb{Q}_2$ has a nontrivial zero if the number of variables $s$ satisifies $s \ge \frac{d^2}{4} + 3d + 1$.

Values of quaternionic modular forms are related to twisted central $L$-values via periods and a theorem of Waldspurger. In particular, certain twisted $L$-values must be non-vanishing for forms with no zeroes. Here we study, theoretically…

An integral quadratic form is called strictly $n$-regular if it primitively represents all quadratic forms in $n$ variables that are primitively represented by its genus. For any $n \geq 2$, it will be shown that there are only finitely…

By providing a variant of Weyl's inequality for general systems of forms we establish the Hardy-Littlewood asymptotic formula for the density of integer zeros of systems of quadratic or cubics forms under weaker rank conditions than…

In this paper we determine the group of rational automorphisms of binary cubic and quartic forms with integer coefficients and non-zero discriminant in terms of certain quadratic covariants of cubic and quartic forms. This allows one to…

In this paper, we prove a quantitative version of the statement that every nonempty finite subset of $\mathbb{N}^+$ is a set of quadratic residues for infinitely many primes of the form $[n^c]$ with $1\leqslant c\leqslant243/205$.…

We develop a theory of $p$-adic continued fractions for a quaternion algebra $B$ over $\mathbb Q$ ramified at a rational prime $p$. Many properties holding in the commutative case can be proven also in this setting. In particular, we focus…
