It is shown that the $n$-dimensional Jacobian conjecture over algebraic number fields may be considered as an existence problem of integral points on affine curves. More specially, if the Jacobian conjecture over $\mathbb{C}$ is false, then…

We solve Diophantine equations of the type $ a \, (x^3 \!+ \! y^3 \!+ \! z^3 ) = (x \! + \! y \! + \! z)^3$, where $x,y,z$ are integer variables, and the coefficient $a\neq 0$ is rational. We show that there are infinite families of such…

This work is devoted to the study of the existence of at least one (non-zero) solution to a problem involving the discrete $p$-Laplacian. As a special case, we derive an existence theorem for a second-order discrete problem, depending on a…

We obtain an essentially optimal estimate for the moment of order 32/3 of the exponential sum having argument $\alpha x^3+\beta x^2$. Subject to modest local solubility hypotheses, we thereby establish that pairs of diagonal Diophantine…

We consider a classial case of irrational integrals containing a square root of a quadratic polynomial. It is well known that they can be expressed in terms of elementary functions by one of three Euler's substitutions. It is less known…

A classical result due to Bochner characterizes the classical orthogonal polynomial systems as solutions of a second-order eigenvalue equation. We extend Bochner's result by dropping the assumption that the first element of the orthogonal…

In this paper Euler shows that there are no additional square idoneal numbers aside from 1, 4, 9, 16, and 25.

We investigate pairs of diagonal cubic equations with integral coefficients. For a class of such Diophantine systems with 11 or more variables, we are able to establish that the number of integral solutions in a large box is at least as…

An open conjecture of Erdos and Moser is that the only solution of the Diophantine equation in the title is the trivial solution 1+2=3. Reducing the equation modulo k and k^2, we give necessary and sufficient conditions on solutions to the…

This article has been written for an educational magazine whose target audience consists of students and teachers of mathematics in universities, colleges and schools. It concerns a notion of duality between rectangles. A proof is given…

In this paper we use the results of our previous work in order to compute the phase of the torsion of an Euler structure in terms of its characteristic class. Also, we introduce here a new notion of an absolute torsion, which does not…

We investigate the problem of balanced embedding of a non-compact complex manifold into an infinite-dimensional projective space. In this paper we prove the existence of such an embedding in a model case. The strategy is by using a gradient…

We show that for any positive integer $N$, there are only finitely many holomorphic eta quotients of level $N$, none of which is a product of two holomorphic eta quotients other than 1 and itself. This result is an analog of Zagier's…

A new simple way to prove the Frobenius conjecture on the dimensions of real algebras without zero divisors is given.

It is shown that the two-body Coulomb problem in the Sturm representation leads to a new two-dimensional, exactly-solvable, superintegrable quantum system in curved space with a $g^{(2)}$ hidden algebra and a cubic polynomial algebra of…

A completeness conjecture is advanced concerning the free small-colimit completion P(A) of a (possibly large) category A. The conjecture is based on the existence of a small generating-cogenerating set of objects in A. We sketch how the…

We show that Hilbert's Tenth Problem is undecidable for complementary subrings of number fields and that the p-adic and archimedean ring versions of Mazur's conjectures do not hold in these rings. More specifically, given a number field K,…

For any given positive definite binary quadratic form $Q$ with integer coefficients, we establish two results on Diophantine approximation with integers represented by $Q$. Firstly, we show that for every irrational number $\alpha$, there…

We prove that there exist infinitely many quartic rational Diophantine quadruples, that is, sets of four pairwise distinct nonzero rational numbers whose pairwise products increased by 1 are fourth powers in Q. To the best of our knowledge,…

We employ Schauder fixed-point Theorem to prove the existence of at least one positive continuous solution of the quadratic integral equation Moreover, the maximal and the minimal solutions of the last equation are also proved.
