The model 4-dimensional CR-cubic in $\CC{3}$ has the following "model" property: it is (essentially) the unique locally homogeneous 4-dimensional CR-manifold in $\CC{3}$ with finite-dimensional infinitesimal automorphism algebra…

In Theorem 3.2 we show that two homogeneous polynomials $f$ and $g$ having isomorphic Milnor algebras are right-equivalent.

Let f\in \mathbb{Z}[x,y] be an irreducible homogeneous polynomial of degree 3. We show that f(x,y) has an even number of prime factors as often as an odd number of prime factors.

Let $h(x,y)$ be a non-degenerate binary cubic form with integral coefficients, and let $S$ be an arbitrary finite set of prime numbers. By a classical theorem of Mahler, there are only finitely many pairs of relatively prime integers $x,y$…

Representative examples of our results are as follows. For any positive integer $N$ the equation $$ x^3+y^3=z^3+t^3, \quad x,y,z,t\in \mathbb{N}, \quad \{x,y\}\not=\{z,t\} $$ has no solutions satisfying $$ N\le x,y,z,t <…

Generalised Pythagorean triples are integer tuples $(x,y,z)$ satisfying the equation $E_{a,b,c}: ax^2+by^2+cz^2=0$. A significant amount of research has been devoted towards understanding generalised Pythagorean triples and, in particular,…

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 study the complement problem in projective spaces $\mathbb{P}^n$ over any algebraically closed field: If $H, H' \subseteq \mathbb{P}^n$ are irreducible hypersurfaces of degree $d$ such that the complements $\mathbb{P}^n \setminus H$,…

Let $(X,L)$ be a polarized K3 surface of genus $g$ and $C_{en} \subset X$ be the curve of singular points of nodal elliptic curves in $|L|$. When $(X,L)$ is generic of genus two, Huybrechts observed that the curve $C_{en}$ is a constant…

In this paper we completely solve the family of parametrised Thue equations \[ X(X-F_n Y)(X-2^n Y)-Y^3=\pm 1, \] where $F_n$ is the $n$-th Fibonacci number. In particular, for any integer $n\geq 3$ the Thue equation has only the trivial…

For positive integers $a,b,c$, and an integer $n$, the number of integer solutions $(x,y,z) \in \mathbb Z^3$ of $a \frac{x(x-1)}{2} + b \frac{y(y-1)}{2} + c \frac{z(z-1)}{2} = n$ is denoted by $t(a,b,c;n)$. In this article, we prove some…

We show that the operator \begin{equation*} \mathcal{C} f(x,y) := \sup_{v\in \mathbb{R}} \Big|\mathrm{p.v.} \int_{\mathbb{R}} f(x-t, y-t^2) e^{i v t^3} \frac{\mathrm{d} t}{t} \Big| \end{equation*} is bounded on $L^p(\mathbb{R}^2)$ for every…

For an elliptic curve $E$ defined over the field $\mathbb{C}$ of complex numbers, we classify all translates of elliptic curves in $E^3$ such that the $x$-coordinates satisfy a linear equation. This classification enables us to establish a…

We show that the reductions modulo primes $p\le x$ of the elliptic curve $$ Y^2 = X^3 + f(a)X + g(b), $$ behave as predicted by the Lang-Trotter and Sato-Tate conjectures, on average over integers $a \in [-A,A]$ and $b \in [-B,B]$ for $A$…

The formal group law of an elliptic curve has seen recent applications to computational algebraic geometry in the work of Couveignes to compute the order of an elliptic curve over finite fields of small characteristic. The purpose of this…

We analyze the indicial roots of the self-dual deformation complex on a cylinder $(\mathbb{R} \times Y^3, dt^2 + g_Y)$, where $Y^3$ is a space of constant curvature. An application is the optimal decay rate of solutions on a self-dual…

In this paper, we give explicit equations for homogeneous spaces corresponding to a rational isogeny of degree $3$. An explicit set of elliptic curves with elements of order $3$ in their Tate-Shafarevich group is constructed. Combining this…

Let $p\equiv 2,5\mod 9$ be an odd prime. In this paper, we prove that at least one of $3p$ and $3p^2$ is a cube sum by constructing certain nontrivial Heegner points. We also establish the explicit Gross-Zagier formulae for these Heegner…

Cubic forms $C$ are constructed in the work of R. Aguilar, M. Green and P. Griffiths to establish the generic global Torelli theorem for Fano-K3 pairs $(X,Y)$, where $X: F=0$ is a cubic threefold in $\mathbb{P}^4$ and $Y\in|-K_X|$ is an…
