We discuss computational results on field extensions $K/{\mathbb Q}$ of degree $n\le11$ with Galois group of the Galois closure isomorphic to the full symmetric group ${\mathfrak S}_n$. More precisely, we present statistics on the number of…

To our knowledge at the time of writing, the maximum Waring rank for the set of all ternary forms of degree $d$ (with coefficients in an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero) is known only for $d\le 4$. The best upper bound…

By making use of our generalization of Barrucand and Cohn's theory of principal factorizations in pure cubic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{D})$ and their Galois closures $\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_3,\sqrt[3]{D})$ with 3 possible types to pure quintic…

For nonnegative integers $q,n,d$, let $A_q(n,d)$ denote the maximum cardinality of a code of length $n$ over an alphabet $[q]$ with $q$ letters and with minimum distance at least $d$. We consider the following upper bound on $A_q(n,d)$. For…

In the projective space $\mathrm{PG}(N,q)$ over the Galois field of order $q$, $N\ge3$, an iterative step-by-step construction of complete caps by adding a new point on every step is considered. It is proved that uncovered points are evenly…

We contribute to the Malle conjecture on the number N (K, G, y) of finite Galois extensions E of some number field K of finite group G and of discriminant of norm |N K/Q (d E)| $\le$ y. We prove the lower bound part of the conjecture for…

Let $\Gamma \,=\, \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[5]{n})$ be a pure quintic field, where $n$ is a positive integer, $5^{th}$ power-free. Let $k_0\,=\,\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_5)$ be the cyclotomic field containing a primitive $5^{th}$ root of unity $\zeta_5$, and…

We give several criteria to show over which quadratic number fields Q(sqrt{D}) there should exists a non-constant arithmetic progressions of five squares. This is done by translating the problem to determining when some genus five curves…

Grothendieck constants $K_G(d)$ bound the advantage of $d$-dimensional strategies over $1$-dimensional ones in a specific optimisation task. They have applications ranging from approximation algorithms to quantum nonlocality. However, apart…

Let $X$ be a normal, separated and integral scheme of finite type over $\mathbb{Z}$ and $\mathcal{M}$ a set of closed points of $X$. To a Galois cover $\tilde{X}$ of $X$ unramified over $\mathcal{M}$, we associate a quandle whose underlying…

Let $K$ be a number field of degree $d$ so that $K/\mathbb Q$ is a Galois extension. The {\it normal basis theorem} states that $K$ has a $\mathbb Q$-basis consisting of algebraic conjugates, in fact $K$ contains infinitely many such bases.…

We prove an upper bound for the asymptotics of counting functions of number fields with nilpotent Galois groups.

We present an algorithm to determine the Galois group of an irreducible monic polynomial $f(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ of degree at most five. Following work of Conrad, Dummit, and Stauduhar this comes down to answering two questions: Is a given…

We prove that, for any $\varepsilon>0$, the number of real quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})$ of discriminant $d<x$ whose class number is $\ll \sqrt{d}(\log{d})^{-2}(\log\log{d})^{-1}$ is at least $x^{1/2-\varepsilon}$ for $x$ large…

Let $G$ be a wreath product of the form $C_2 \wr H$, where $C_2$ is the cyclic group of order 2. Under mild conditions for $H$ we determine the asymptotic behavior of the counting functions for number fields $K/k$ with Galois group $G$ and…

What is the true order of growth of torsion in the cohomology of an arithmetic group? Let $D$ be a quaternion over an imaginary quadratic field $F.$ Let $E/F$ be a cyclic Galois extension with $\mathrm{Gal}(E/F) = \langle \sigma \rangle.$…

We prove that the smoothed counting function of the set of quartic fields, satisfying any finite set of local conditions, can be written as a linear combination of $X,X^{5/6}\log X,X^{5/6}$, upto an error term of $O(X^{13/16+o(1)})$. For…

We study the distribution of the Galois group of a random $q$-additive polynomial over a rational function field: For $q$ a power of a prime $p$, let $f=X^{q^n}+a_{n-1}X^{q^{n-1}}+\ldots+a_1X^q+a_0X$ be a random polynomial chosen uniformly…

We answer a question of Peikert and Rosen by giving for each $\epsilon > 0$ an efficient construction of infinite families of number fields $N$ such that the root discriminant $D_N^{1/[N:\mathbb{Q}]}$ is bounded above by a constant times…

In this paper, we prove $\text{ex}(n, C_{2k})\le (16\sqrt{5}\sqrt{k\log k} + o(1))\cdot n^{1+1/k}$. We improved on Bukh--Jiang's method used in their 2017 publication, thereby reducing the best known upper bound by a factor of $\sqrt{5\log…
