Let $p$ be an odd prime. In the paper we collect the author's various conjectures on congruences modulo $p$ or $p^2$, which are concerned with sums of binomial coefficients, Lucas sequences, power residues and special binary quadratic…

Let $p$ be a prime number and $\zeta_p$ be a primitive $p$-th root of unity in $\bm{C}$. Let $k$ be a field and $k(x_0,\ldots,x_{p-1})$ be the rational function field of $p$ variables over $k$. Suppose that $G=\langle\sigma\rangle \simeq…

A presentation as well as a structural description of the automorphism group of a family of 3-generator finite $p$-groups is given, $p$ being an odd prime.

We show that polynomials associated with automatic sequences satisfy a certain recurrence relation when evaluated at a root of unity, which generalizes a result of Brillhart, Lomont and Morton on the Rudin--Shapiro polynomials. We study the…

We construct a family of quartic polynomials with cyclic Galois group and show that the roots of the polynomials are fundamental units or generate a subgroup of index 5.

The main focus of this paper is on the problem of relating an ideal $I$ in the polynomial ring $\mathbb Q[x_1, \dots, x_n]$ to a corresponding ideal in $\mathbb F_p[x_1,\dots, x_n]$ where $p$ is a prime number; in other words, the…

We begin a systematic investigation of universal norms for $p$-adic representations in higher rank Iwasawa theory. After establishing the basic properties of the module of higher rank universal norms we construct an Iwasawa-theoretic…

In this paper we establish the Eulers criterion of order l (a prime) when the ring of integers in the cyclotomic extension of Q of order l is a PID. Conditions are obtained in terms of Jacobi sums of order l.

Let $p$ be a prime integer and $n,i$ be positive integers such that \linebreak $S=\{-1, \ \theta, \ \mu_i=1+\theta+... + \theta^{i-1} \ \mid 1 < i < \frac{p^n}{2}, \ gcd(p^n,i)=1 \}$ generates the group of units of $\mathbb{Z}[\theta],$…

We investigate the first two Galois cohomology groups of $p$-extensions over a base field which does not necessarily contain a primitive $p$th root of unity. We use twisted coefficients in a systematic way. We describe field extensions…

In this paper, by using the theory of circulant matrices we study some matrices over finite fields which involve the quadratic character and trinomial coefficients.

Some aspects of analysis involving fields with absolute value functions are discussed, which includes the real or complex numbers with their standard absolute values, as well as ultrametric situations like the p-adic numbers.

This work is meant to demonstrate new class of prime numbers -- cyclic prime numbers, that can be derived from any prime number at certain numeric systems. Cyclic prime numbers are also related to the cyclic numbers and full reptend prime…

A formula for the sum of quadratic residues modulus a prime $p=4n-1$ is studied. We relate some terms on this formula with roots of quadratics and provide an exhaustive analysis of new concepts based on these roots. A number of formulas for…

We give formulas for the number of polynomials over a finite field with given root multiplicities, in particular in cases when the formula is surprisingly simple (a power of q). Besides this concrete interpretation, we also prove an…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. In this paper we investigate quadratic residues modulo $p$ and related permutations, congruences and identities. If $a_1<\ldots<a_{(p-1)/2}$ are all the quadratic residues modulo $p$ among $1,\ldots,p-1$, then the…

The primes or prime polynomials (over finite fields) are supposed to be distributed `irregularly' , despite nice asymptotic or average behavior. We provide some conjectures/guesses/hypotheses with `evidence' of surprising symmetries in…

We investigate logarithmic and square-root types of bounds for the general difference of two primes, $P_{k+q}-P_k$, $k, q\in\mathbb{N}$.

Following Roberts' work in the case of orthogonal-symplectic similitude dual pairs, we study the local theta correspondence for unitary similitude dual pairs over a $p$-adic field.

A natural partial order on the set of prime numbers was derived by the author from the internal symmetries of the primary finite fields, independently of Ford a.a., who investigated Pratt trees for primality tests. It leads to a…
