We derive a recursive formula determing the weight distribution of the [n=(q^m-1)/(q-1), n-m, 3] Hamming code H(m,q), when (m, q-1)=1. Here q is a prime power. The proof is based on Moisio's idea of using Pless power moment identity…

We introduce a new family of models for growing networks. In these networks new edges are attached preferentially to vertices with higher number of connections, and new vertices are created by already existing ones, inheriting part of their…

We prove the infinitude of shifted primes $p-1$ without prime factors above $p^{0.2844}$. This refines $p^{0.2961}$ from Baker and Harman in 1998. Consequently, we obtain an improved lower bound on the the distribution of Carmichael…

Let $\mathbb F_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements, $f, g\in \mathbb F_q[x]$ be polynomials of degree at least one. This paper deals with the asymptotic growth of certain arithmetic functions associated to the factorization of the…

We give an upper bound on the number of extensions of a fixed number field of prescribed degree and discriminant less than X; these bounds improve on work of Schmidt. We also prove various related results, such as lower bounds for the…

An integer-valued multiplicative function $f$ is said to be polynomially-defined if there is a nonconstant separable polynomial $F(T)\in \mathbb{Z}[T]$ with $f(p)=F(p)$ for all primes $p$. We study the distribution in coprime residue…

We prove that an additive form of degree $d=2m$, $m$ odd over any totally ramified extension of $\mathbb{Q}_2$ has a nontrivial zero if the number of variables $s$ satisifies $s \ge \frac{d^2}{4} + 3d + 1$.

Let K/k be purely inseparable extension of characteristic p \textgreater{} 0. By invariants, we characterize the measure of the size of K/k. In particular, we give a necessary and sufficient condition that K/k is of bounded size.…

In our previous work, motivated by the study of tropical polynomials, a definition for prime congruences was given for an arbitrary commutative semiring. It was shown that for additively idempotent semirings this class exhibits some…

A Hilbert space in M dimensions is shown explicitly to accommodate representations that reflect the prime numbers decomposition of M. Representations that exhibit the factorization of M into two relatively prime numbers: the kq…

It is well-known that a Lie algebroid A is equivalently described by a degree 1 Q-manifold M. We study distributions on M, giving a characterization in terms of A. We show that involutive Q-invariant distributions on M correspond…

In this note for $p>5$ we calculate the dimensions of ${\rm Ext}^1_{{\rm SL}_2(\mathbb{Q}_p)}(\tau, \sigma)$ for any two irreducible supersingular representations $\tau$ and $\sigma$ of ${\rm SL}_2(\mathbb{Q}_p)$.

Let p be an odd prime, and k_\infty the cyclotomic Z_p-extension of an abelian field k. For a finite set S of rational primes which does not include p, we will consider the maximal S-ramified abelian pro-p extension M_S(k_\infty) over…

Let $[a_1(x), a_2(x), \ldots, a_n(x), \ldots]$ be the continued fraction expansion of an irrational number $x\in (0,1)$. We study the growth rate of the maximal product of consecutive partial quotients among the first $n$ terms, defined by…

For each integer $t>0$ and each complex simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, we determine the least dimension of an irreducible highest weight representation of $\mathfrak{g}$ whose highest weight has height $t$. As a corollary, we classify…

In this paper, it is proved that there is an arithmetic progression of positive integers such that each of which is expressible neither as $p+F_m$ nor as $q+L_n$, where $ p,q $ are primes, $ F_m $ denotes the $ m $-th Fibonacci number and $…

We consider the extension problem for Lie algebroids over schemes over a field. Given a locally free Lie algebroid Q over a scheme (X,O), and a sheaf of finitely generated Lie O-algebras L, we determine the obstruction to the existence of…

We will prove an identity involving refined $q$-trinomial coefficients. We then extend this identity to two infinite families of doubly bounded polynomial identities using transformation properties of the refined $q$-trinomials in an…

Let $\mathcal{P}_r$ denote an almost-prime with at most $r$ prime factors, counted according to multiplicity. In this paper, it is proved that for $\alpha\in\mathbb{R}\backslash\mathbb{Q},\,\beta\in\mathbb{R}$ and $0<\theta<10/1561$, there…

We study the Pl\"{u}cker degree of the main component of the Quot scheme of length $l$ quotients of a locally free sheaf on a smooth projective scheme $\mathrm{S}$ of dimension $d\geqslant 1$. This degree is determined by classes in the…
