We investigate certain $Z_3$-graded associative algebras with cubic $Z_3$-invariant constitutive relations. The invariant forms on finite algebras of this type are given in the low dimensional cases with two or three generators. We show how…

We are interested in solving the congruences $f^3+g^3+1\equiv 0\pmod{fg}$ and $f^4-4g^2+4\equiv 0\pmod{fg}$ in polynomials $f, g$ with rational coefficients. Moreover, we present results of computations of all integer points on certain one…

Let Fq be a finite field with q=8 or q at least 16. Let S be a smooth cubic surface defined over Fq containing at least one rational line. We use a pigeonhole principle to prove that all the rational points on S are generated via tangent…

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 $x_1^3+x_2^3+\cdots+x_n^3+zx_{n+1}^3=0$…

We consider the integers $\alpha$ of the quadratic field $ \mathbb{Q} (\sqrt{d}$ $)$ where $d\in \Z$ is square-free and $d\equiv 1,2,3 \pmod 4$. Let $p$ be an odd prime. Using the embedding into $ \text{GL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$ we obtain bounds…

We prove that for all $q>211$, there always exists a primitive root $g$ in the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ such that $Q(g)$ is also a primitive root, where $Q(x)= ax^2 + bx + c$ is a quadratic polynomial with $a, b, c\in \mathbb{F}_{q}$…

We study the field isomorphism problem of cubic generic polynomial $X^3+sX+s$ over the field of rational numbers with the specialization of the parameter $s$ to nonzero rational integers $m$ via primitive solutions to the family of cubic…

One can hardly believe that there is still something to be said about cubic equations. To dodge this doubt, we will instead try and say something about Sylvester. He doubtless found a way of solving cubic equations. As mentioned by Rota, it…

Theorem. An irreducible cubic polynomial with rational coefficients has a root in a one step radical extension of Q if and only if the discriminate is a square of a rational number. Theorem. An irreducible polynomial x^4+px^2+qx+s with…

In this paper we establish a connection between the Gauss factorials and Iwasawa's cyclotomic $\lambda$-invariant for an imaginary quadratic field $K$. As a result, we will explain a corespondance between the 1-exceptional primes of…

Let $P(a,q)$ be the least prime in the arithmetic progression $\{n\equiv a(mod\ q)\}$. In this note, when $q$ has bounded cubic part and $(a,q)=1$, we combine the Heath-Brown's method and the Burgess's bounds for L-functions to obtain $…

We begin by studying a very simple Hamiltonian for Maxwell's equations that has no gauge fields and is made entirely of the electromagnetic fields. We then show that this theory cannot be quantized. We also show that no other such simple…

We derive the asymptotic formula $\alpha(k,q)=\lambda_{k-1}q^k+o(q^k)$, where $\alpha(k,q)$ is the independence number of the de Bruijn graph $B(k,q)$, and $\lambda_{k-1}$ is a constant arising from a variational problem on the unit…

Fix a finite collection of primes $\{ p_j \}$, not containing $2$ or $3$. Using some observations which arose from attempts to solve the SIC-POVMs problem in quantum information, we give a simple methodology for constructing an infinite…

We study the orchard problem on cubic surfaces. We classify possibly reducible cubic surfaces $X\subseteq \mathbb{P}^3(\C)$ with smooth components on which there exist families of finite sets (of unbounded size) with quadratically many…

The process algebra has been used successfully to provide a novel formulation of quantum mechanics in which non-relativistic quantum mechanics (NRQM) emerges as an effective theory asymptotically. The process algebra is applied here to the…

By some extremely simple arguments, we point out the following: (i) If n is the least positive k-th power non-residue modulo a positive integer m, then the greatest number of consecutive k-th power residues mod m is smaller than m/n. (ii)…

This article provides a simple trigonometric method for determining how many roots of a quintic equation are real and how many are complex, without solving the equation. The approach transforms a depressed quintic $t^5 + mt^3 + nt^2 + pt +…

We provide a short introduction to the main features of the algebraic approach to quantum field theories.

The q-field theories are constructed by substituting quantum groups for the usual Lie groups. In earlier papers this construction was carried out for the quantum group SU_q(2). Here the investigation is extended to SL_q(3). The resulting…
