We consider the generalized Fermat equation (*) $x^2 + y^3 = z^{25}$. Using the known parameterization of the primitive integral solutions to $x^2 + y^3 = z^5$ (due to Edwards), we reduce the solution of (*) to the solution of five specific…

We develop a theory of Prym varieties and cubic threefolds over fields of characteristic $2$. As an application, we prove that smooth cubic threefolds are non-rational over an arbitrary field and solve a conjecture of Deligne regarding…

We provide a proof of strong normalisation for lambda+, a recently introduced, explicitly typed, non-deterministic lambda-calculus where isomorphic propositions are identified. Such a proof is a non-trivial adaptation of the reducibility…

For a field $E$ of characteristic different from $2$ and cohomological $2$-dimension one, quadratic forms over the rational function field $E(X)$ are studied. A characterisation in terms of polynomials in $E[X]$ is obtained for having that…

The roots of any polynomial of degree m with integer coefficients, can be computed by manipulation of sequences made from 2m distinct symbols and counting the different symbols in the sequences. This method requires only 'primitive'…

For a unital ring $S$, an $S$-linear quasigroup is a unital $S$-module, with automorphisms $\rho$ and $\lambda$ giving a (nonassociative) multiplication $x\cdot y=x^\rho+y^\lambda$. If $S$ is the field of complex numbers, then ordinary…

Cubic complexes appear in the theory of finite type invariants so often that one can ascribe them to basic notions of the theory. In this paper we begin the exposition of finite type invariants from the `cubic' point of view. Finite type…

Let ${\mathbb F}_q$ be the finite field with $q=p^k$ elements with $p$ being a prime and $k$ be a positive integer. For any $y, z\in\mathbb{F}_q$, let $N_s(z)$ and $T_s(y)$ denote the numbers of zeros of $x_1^{3}+\cdots+x_s^3=z$ and…

We consider discrete nonlinear hyperbolic equations on quad-graphs, in particular on the square lattice. The fields are associated to the vertices and an equation Q(x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4)=0 relates four fields at one quad. Integrability of…

We study the decomposition of multivariate polynomials as sums of powers of linear forms. As one of our main results we give an algorithm for the following problem: given a homogeneous polynomial of degree 3, decide whether it can be…

We give a generalization of the well-known result of E. Cartan on isoparametric cubics by showing that a homogeneous cubic polynomial solution of the eiconal equation $|\nabla f|^2=9|x|^4$ must be rotationally equivalent to either…

The Modular Isomorphism Problem asks, if an isomorphism between modular group algebras of finite $p$-groups over a field $F$ implies an isomorphism of the group bases. We explore the differences of knowledge on the problem when $F$ is…

In classical invariant theory, the Gr\"obner base of the ideal of syzygies and the normal forms of polynomials of invariants are two core contents. To improve the performance of invariant theory in symbolic computing of classical geometry,…

Let (k1,k2,k3,k4) be a quartet of cyclic cubic number fields sharing a common conductor c=pqr divisible by exactly three prime(power)s p,q,r. For those components k of the quartet whose 3-class group Cl(3,k) = Z/3Z x Z/3Z is elementary…

In this paper, we study additively indecomposable quadratic forms over real biquadratic and simplest cubic fields. In particular, we show that over these fields, we can always find such a classical form in 2 variables, which differs from…

A perfect cuboid is a rectangular parallelepiped with integer edges, integer face diagonals, and integer space diagonal. Such cuboids have not yet been found, but nor has their existence been disproved. Perfect cuboids are described by a…

We study solutions of a homogeneous quadratic equation $q(x_0,\dots, x_n)=0$, defined over a field $K$, where the $x_i$ are themselves homogeneous polynomials of some degree $d$ in $r+1$ variables. Equivalently, we are looking at rational…

Let $a\in \mathbb{Z}$ and $\rho$ be a root of $f_a(x)=x^3-ax^2-(a+3)x-1$, then the number field $K_a=\mathbb{Q}(\rho)$ is called a simplest cubic field. In this paper we consider the family of unit equations $u_1+u_2=n$ where $u_1,u_2\in…

We solve Diophantine equations of the type $ a \, (x^3 \!+ \! y^3 \!+ \! z^3 ) = (x \! + \! y \! + \! z)^3$, where $x,y,z$ are integer variables, and the coefficient $a\neq 0$ is rational. We show that there are infinite families of such…

In this work we explicitly construct polynomial vector fields $\mathcal{L}_k,\;k=0,1,2,3,4,6$ on the complex linear space $\mathbb{C}^6$ with coordinates $X=(x_2,x_3,x_4)$ and $Z=(z_4,z_5,z_6)$. The fields $\mathcal{L}_k$ are linearly…
