The Mertens' first theorem gives us the following asymptotic formula \begin{equation*} \sum_{\substack{p\leq x\\ p~prime}}\frac{lnp}{p}=lnx+O(1), \end{equation*} and the Mertens' second theorem indicates that there exists a constant…

It is shown that there is a constant A and a density one subset S of the positive integers, such that for all q in S there is some 1<=p<q, (p, q)=1, so that p/q has all its partial quotients bounded by A.

We show that if $\alpha$ is a positive $(2,2)$-form then so is $\alpha^2$. We also prove that this is no longer true for forms of higher degree.

In this paper, we give several asymptotic formulas for the number of multiplicatively dependent vectors of algebraic numbers of fixed degree, or within a fixed number field, and bounded height.

We derive upper and lower bounds on the sum of distances of a spherical code of size $N$ in $n$ dimensions when $N\sim n^\alpha, 0<\alpha\le 2.$ The bounds are derived by specializing recent general, universal bounds on energy of spherical…

In this paper, we study the Hecke eigenvalues of Ikeda lifts. Using the spherical map for the Hecke algebra of the symplectic group, we obtain an explicit formula for the eigenvalues $\lambda_F(p^r)$. From this formula, we show that…

We prove a lower bound on the Seshadri constant $\epsilon (L)$ on a $K3$ surface $S$ with $\Pic S \simeq \ZZ[L]$. In particular, we obtain that $\epsilon (L)=\alpha$ if $L^2=\alpha^2$ for an integer $\alpha$.

Given a nonsingular quartic del Pezzo surface, a conjecture of Manin predicts the density of rational points on the open subset of the surface formed by deleting the lines. We prove that this prediction is of the correct order of magnitude…

We will show that the number of integers $\leq x$ that can be written as the square of an integer plus the square of a prime equals $\frac{\pi}{2} \cdot \frac {x}{\log x}$ minus a secondary term of size $x/(\log x)^{ 1+\delta+o(1)}$, where…

We prove an upper bound for the number of rational points of bounded height on irreducible affine hypersurfaces. More precisely, given an irreducible polynomial $f \in \mathbb{Z}[X_1, \dots, X_n]$, we prove an upper bound on the number of…

The expansion factor, $\alpha^{2}=\langle s_{N}^{2}\rangle/\langle s_{N}^{2}\rangle_{0}$, of branched molecules in the melt state is estimated. The equilibrium expansion factor is determined as the point in which all the inhomogeneity terms…

Let $f \in Q(z)$ be a polynomial or rational function of degree 2. A special case of Morton and Silverman's Dynamical Uniform Boundedness Conjecture states that the number of rational preperiodic points of $f$ is bounded above by an…

We obtain an effective analytic formula, with explicit constants, for the number of distinct irreducible factors of a polynomial $f \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$. We use an explicit version of Mertens' theorem for number fields to estimate a related…

Assume $\alpha\geq p>1$. Consider the following $p$-th Yamabe equation on a connected finite graph $G$: $$\Delta_p\varphi+h\varphi^{p-1}=\lambda f\varphi^{\alpha-1},$$ where $\Delta_p$ is the discrete $p$-Laplacian, $h$ and $f>0$ are fixed…

We present a randomised algorithm to compute the local zeta function of a fixed smooth, projective surface over $\mathbb{Q}$, at any large prime $p$ of good reduction. The runtime of our algorithm is polynomial in $\log p$, resolving a…

In this paper, we define the constant $D(\varphi, p)$, an analogue for the Davenport constant, for sequences on the finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$, defined via quadratic symmetric polynomials. Next, we state a series of results presenting…

For a non-zero algebraic number $\alpha$ of degree $d$, let $h(\alpha)$ denote its logarithmic Weil height. It is known that when $h(\alpha)$ is small, and $d$ is large, the conjugates of $\alpha$ are clustered near the unit circle and have…
