The ratio set of a set of positive integers $A$ is defined as $R(A) := \{a / b : a, b \in A\}$. The study of the denseness of $R(A)$ in the set of positive real numbers is a classical topic and, more recently, the denseness in the set of…

Let $\gamma(t)=(P_1(t),\ldots,P_n(t))$ where $P_i$ is a real polynomial with zero constant term for each $1\leq i\leq n$. We will show the existence of the configuration $\{x,x+\gamma(t)\}$ in sets of positive density $\epsilon$ in…

Let GF(q), q=p^r, be a finite field with a primitive element g. In this paper we use exponential sums and Jacobi sums to compute the number of the irreducible polynomials of degree m over GF(q) with trace fixed and norm restricted to a…

This paper is concerned with the density of rational points of bounded height lying on a variety defined by an integral quadratic form Q. In the case of four variables, we give an estimate that does not depend on the coefficients of Q. For…

Let $F$ be a non-singular homogeneous polynomial of degree $d$ in $n$ variables. We give an asymptotic formula of the pairs of integer points $(\mathbf x, \mathbf y)$ with $|\mathbf x| \le X$ and $|\mathbf y| \le Y$ which generate a line…

Let $\epsilon$ be a fixed positive quantity, $m$ be a large integer, $x_j$ denote integer variables. We prove that for any positive integers $N_1,N_2,N_3$ with $N_1N_2N_3>m^{1+\epsilon},$ the set $$ \{x_1x_2x_3 \pmod m: \quad x_j\in [1,N_j]…

Given a compact manifold $N^n$, an integer $k \in \mathbb{N}_*$ and an exponent $1 \le p < \infty$, we prove that the class $C^\infty(\overline{Q}^m; N^n)$ of smooth maps on the cube with values into $N^n$ is dense with respect to the…

In this paper we investigate the distribution of the set of values of a linear map at integer points on a quadratic surface. In particular we show that this set is dense in the range of the linear map subject to certain algebraic conditions…

Given a rational $a=p/q$ and $N$ nonnegative $d$-dimensional real vectors $u_1$, ..., $u_N$, we show that it is always possible to choose $(d-1)+\lceil (pN-d+1)/q\rceil$ of them such that their sum is (componentwise) at least…

By polynomial (or extended binomial) coefficients, we mean the coefficients in the expansion of integral powers, positive and negative, of the polynomial $1+t +\cdots +t^{m}$; $m\geq 1$ being a fixed integer. We will establish several…

A poset $(Q,\le_Q)$ contains an induced copy of a poset $(P,\le_P)$ if there exists an injective mapping $\phi\colon P\to Q$ such that for any two elements $X,Y\in P$, $X\le_P Y$ if and only if $\phi(X)\le_Q \phi(Y)$. By $Q_n$ we denote the…

Using $P(n,m)$, the number of integer partitions of $n$ into exactly $m$ parts, which was the subject of an earlier paper, $P(n,m,p)$, the number of integer partitions of $n$ into exactly $m$ parts with each part at most $p$, can be…

Fix a sequence of integers $Q=\{q_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ such that $q_n$ is greater than or equal to 2 for all $n$. In this paper, we improve upon results by J. Galambos and F. Schweiger showing that almost every (in the sense of Lebesgue…

We study the number of prime polynomials of degree $n$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$ in which the $i^{th}$ coefficient is either preassigned to be $a_i \in \mathbb{F}_q$ or outside a small set $S_i \subset \mathbb{F}_q$. This serves as a function…

We present an example of a strictly positive polynomial with rational coefficients that can be decomposed as a sum of squares of polynomials over $\R$ but not over $\Q$. This answers an open question by C. Scheiderer posed as the second…

We give upper bounds for the number of rational elliptic surfaces in some families having positive rank, obtaining in particular that these form a subset of density zero. This confirms Cowan's conjecture (arXiv:2009.08622v2) in the case…

Let $\{c_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ be a sequence of complex numbers. In this paper we answer when the range of $\sum_{n=1}^\infty\pm c_n$ is dense or equal to the complex plane. Some examples are given to explain our results. As its application, we…

We prove a structural result for degree-$d$ polynomials. In particular, we show that any degree-$d$ polynomial, $p$ can be approximated by another polynomial, $p_0$, which can be decomposed as some function of polynomials $q_1,...,q_m$ with…

Given a symmetric variety Y defined over the rationals and a non-zero polynomial with integer coefficients, we use techniques from homogeneous dynamics to establish conditions under which the polynomial can be made r-free for a Zariski…

We show that there are polynomials $p_N$ of arbitrarily large degree $N$, with coefficients equal to 0 or 1 (Newman polynomials), such that $$ \liminf_{N \to \infty} N \Linf{p_N^2} \bigl / p_N^2(1) < 1, $$ where $\Linf{q}$ denotes the…
