Let $c$ be a positive odd integer and $R$ a set of $n$ primes coprime with $c$. We consider equations $X + Y = c^z$ in three integer unknowns $X$, $Y$, $z$, where $z > 0$, $Y > X > 0$, and the primes dividing $XY$ are precisely those in…

Let $P(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ be a polynomial. We give an easy and new proof of the fact that the set of primes $p$ such that $p \mid P(n)$, for some $n \in \mathbb{Z}$, is infinite. We also get analog of this result for some special…

Let $\sigma(n)$ be the sum of the positive divisors of $n$. A positive integer $n$ is said to be $2$-near perfect when $\sigma(n)=2n+d_1+d_2$, where $d_1$ and $d_2$ are distinct positive divisors of $n$. We show that there are no odd…

We present lower bounds on the sum and product of the distinct prime factors of an odd perfect number, which provide a lower bound on the size of the odd perfect number as a function of the number of its distinct prime factors.

We prove that $d_k(n)=d_k(n+B)$ infinitely often for any positive integers $k$ and $B$, where $d_k(n)$ denotes the number of divisors of $n$ coprime to $k$.

We give all splitting bi-unitary perfect polynomials over the field $\mathbb{F}_4$ and some splitting ones over $\mathbb{F}_{p^2}$, if $p$ is an odd prime.

A positive definite quadratic form is called perfect, if it is uniquely determined by its arithmetical minimum and the integral vectors attaining it. In this self-contained survey we explain how to enumerate perfect forms in $d$ variables…

Consider exponential Carmichael function $\lambda^{(e)}$ such that $\lambda^{(e)}$ is multiplicative and $\lambda^{(e)}(p^a) = \lambda(a)$, where $\lambda$ is usual Carmichael function. We discuss the value of $\sum \lambda^{(e)}(n)$, where…

Using ultrafilter techniques we show that in any partition of $\mathbb{N}$ into 2 cells there is one cell containing infinitely many exponential triples, i.e. triples of the kind $a,b,a^b$ (with $a,b>1$). Also, we will show that any…

Let $p$ be a large prime number and $g$ be any integer of multiplicative order $T$ modulo $p$. We obtain a new estimate of the double exponential sum $$ S=\sum_{n\in \mathcal{N}}\left|\sum_{m\in \mathcal{M} }e_p(an g^{m})\right|, \quad \gcd…

We investigate fractional sums of arithmetic functions over products of two or three integers, with emphasis on fixed greatest common divisors and multiplicative weights. Let $f$ be an arithmetic function satisfying $f(n) \ll n^\alpha$ for…

An odd perfect number, N, is shown to have at least nine distinct prime factors. If 3 does not divide N, then N must have at least twelve distinct prime divisors. The proof ultimately avoids previous computational results for odd perfect…

Let $q_1, \ldots , q_t$ be distinct prime numbers. Let $a_1, \ldots , a_t$ be nonnegative integers and $x$ a positive integer. We establish an effective lower bound for the greatest prime divisor of $|x^2 - q_1^{a_1} \ldots q_t^{a_t}|$,…

It is expected that a totally invariant divisor of a non-isomorphic endomorphism of the complex projective space is a union of hyperplanes. In this paper, we compute an upper bound for the degree of such a divisor. As a consequence, we…

N. Minculete has introduced a concept of divisors of order $r$: integer $d=p_1^{b_1}\cdots p_k^{b_k} $ is called a divisor of order $r$ of $n=p_1^{a_1}\cdots p_k^{a_k}$ if $d \mid n$ and $b_j\in\{r, a_j\}$ for $j=1,\ldots,k$. One can…

We investigate the implications of a curious biconditional involving divisors of odd perfect numbers, if Dris conjecture that $q^k < n$ holds, where $q^k n^2$ is an odd perfect number with Euler prime $q$. We then show that this…

We study polynomial identities of algebras with adjoined external unit. For a wide class of algebras we prove that adjoining external unit element leads to increasing of PI-exponent precisely to 1. We also show that any real number from the…

The main result of this thesis is to show that there are only finitely many integers $n$ such that both $n$ and $d(n)$ are highly composite numbers at the same time, where $d(n)$ is the divisor function. Bertrand's postulate [4] is used…

In recent, H. Sun defined a new kind of refined Eulerian polynomials, namely, \begin{eqnarray*} A_n(p,q)=\sum_{\pi\in \mathfrak{S}_n}p^{{\rm odes}(\pi)}q^{{\rm edes}(\pi)} \end{eqnarray*} for $n\geq 1$, where ${odes}(\pi)$ and ${edes}(\pi)$…

Let $t\in\mathbb{N}_+$ be given. In this article we are interested in characterizing those $d\in\mathbb{N}_+$ such that the congruence $$\frac{1}{t}\sum_{s=0}^{t-1}{n+d\zeta_t^s\choose d-1}\equiv {n\choose d-1}\pmod{d}$$ is true for each…
