In this semi-expository article we solve the diophantine equation $m^5+(4 \cdot 5^4 b^4)mn^4 - n^5=1$ for all integers $b \neq 0$. This gives an example of a family of quintic Thue equations that can be solved completely by using nothing…

This note records a curious numerical identity: the number 1318, connected with Vandermonde's cyclotomic quintic, may be decomposed in two distinct ways as a sum of products of pairs of numbers taken from the set \{$6, 16, 26, 41$\}, namely…

Though it is well known that the roots of any affine polynomial over a finite field can be computed by a system of linear equations by using a normal base of the field, such solving approach appears to be difficult to apply when the field…

We give formulas for the number of representations of non negative integers by various quadratic forms. We also give evaluations in the case of sum of two cubes (cubic case) and the quintic case, as well. We introduce a class of generalized…

We study a 2-parameter family of enumerative problems over the reals. Over the complex field, these problems can be solved by Schubert calculus. In the real case the number of solutions can be different on the distinct connected components…

In this paper, we will obtain a variety of interesting $q$-series containing central $q$-binomial coefficients. Our approach is based on manipulating deformed basic hypergeometric series.

There are many instances known when the Fourier coefficients of modular forms are congruent to partial sums of hypergeometric series. In our previous work arXiv:1803.01830, such partial sums are related to the radial asymptotics of infinite…

The classical approach of solvability using group theory is well known and one original motivation is to solve polynomials by radicals. Radicals are square, cube, square root, cube root etc of the original coefficients for the polynomial. A…

For the general monic cubic and quartic with real coefficients, polynomial conditions on the coefficients are derived as directly and as simply as possible from the Sturm sequence that will determine the real and complex root multiplicities…

Let Q be a non-singular quadratic form with integer coefficients. When Q is indefinite we provide new upper bounds for the least non-trivial integral solution to the equation Q=0. When Q is positive definite we provide improved upper bounds…

We show that all meromorphic solutions of the stationary reduction of the real cubic Swift-Hohenberg equation are elliptic or degenerate elliptic. We then obtain them all explicitly by the subequation method, and one of them appears to be a…

Let $k$ be a cubic field. We give an explicit formula for the Dirichlet series $\sum_K|\Disc(K)|^{-s}$, where the sum is over isomorphism classes of all quartic fields whose cubic resolvent field is isomorphic to $k$. Our work is a sequel…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of $q=p^k$ elements. For any $z\in \mathbb{F}_q$, let $A_n(z)$ and $B_n(z)$ denote the number of solutions of the equations $x_1^3+x_2^3+\cdots+x_n^3=z$ and $x_1^3+x_2^3+\cdots+x_n^3+zx_{n+1}^3=0$…

Hyperbolic polynomials are real multivariate polynomials with only real roots along a fixed pencil of lines. Testing whether a given polynomial is hyperbolic is a difficult task in general. We examine different ways of translating…

Let $A$ be a set of $N$ vectors in ${\mathbb Z}^n$ and let $v$ be a vector in ${\mathbb C}^N$ that has minimal negative support for $A$. Such a vector $v$ gives rise to a formal series solution of the $A$-hypergeometric system with…

It is well known that the real and imaginary parts of any holomorphic function are harmonic functions of two variables. In this paper we generalize this property to finite-dimensional commutative algebras. We prove that if some basis of a…

We present an example of a strictly positive polynomial with rational coefficients that can be decomposed as a sum of squares of polynomials over $\R$ but not over $\Q$. This answers an open question by C. Scheiderer posed as the second…

Computing the real solutions to a system of polynomial equations is a challenging problem, particularly verifying that all solutions have been computed. We describe an approach that combines numerical algebraic geometry and sums of squares…

We prove that the equation $(x-2r)^3 + (x-r)^3 + x^3 + (x+r)^3 + (x+2r)^3= y^p$ only has solutions which satisfy $xy=0$ for $1\leq r\leq 10^6$ and $p\geq 5$ prime.
