Finding integer solutions to norm form equations is a classical Diophantine problem. Using the units of the associated coefficient ring, we can produce sequences of solutions to these equations. It is known that these solutions can be…
This paper investigates the relationship between a system of differential equations and the underlying geometry associated with it. The geometry of a surface determines shortest paths, or geodesics connecting nearby points, which are…
We investigate two inequalities of Bugeaud and Laurent, each involving triples of classical exponents of Diophantine approximation associated to $\ux\in\mathbb{R}^n$. We provide a complete description of parameter triples that admit…

We classify spherical quadrilaterals up to isometry in the case when one inner angle is a multiple of pi while the other three are not. This is equivalent to classification of Heun's equations with real parameters and one apparent…
By the theory of elliptic curves, we study the nontrivial rational parametric solutions and rational solutions of the Diophantine equations $z^2=f(x)^2 \pm g(y)^2$ for some simple Laurent polynomials $f$ and $g$.

Riemannian geometry in four dimensions naturally leads to an SL(3) connection that annihilates a basis for self-dual two-forms. Einstein's equations may be written in terms of an SO(3) connection, with SO(3) chosen as an appropriate…

Spherically symmetric anisotropic static compact solutions to the Einstein equations in dimension $d\geq4$ are considered. Various matter models are examined and upper bounds on the ratio of the gravitational mass to the radius in these…
We discuss properties of diophantine solutions of the Pythagoras equation, $a^2+b^2=c^2$, where the three numbers have no common factor. Some of the highlights are: (1) All triplets for which $c$ (called the `peak') is non-prime can be…
The main aim of the paper is to give a full classification (up to isometry) of all metric spaces X with the following two properties: X contains a compact set with non-empty interior; and for any three distinct points a, b and c of X there…
A certain Diophantine problem and 2D crystallography are linked through the notion of standard realizations which was introduced originally in the study of random walks. In the discussion, a complex projective quadric defined over Q is…
Boundary value problems for a class of quasilinear elliptic equations, with an Orlicz type growth and L^1 right-hand side are considered. Both Dirichlet and Neumann problems are contemplated. Existence and uniqueness of generalized…

Four-dimensional spacetime, together with a natural generalisation to extra dimensions, is obtained through an analysis of the structures and symmetries deriving from possible arithmetic expressions for one-dimensional time. On taking the…

It is important in drawing techniques to find combinations of two straight lines and their angle bisectors whose slopes are all rational numbers. This problem is reduced to solving the Diophantine equation $(a-c)^2(b^2+1) = (b-c)^2(a^2+1).$…
In Diophantine approximation, inhomogeneous problems are linked with homogeneous ones by means of the so-called Transference Theorems. We revisit this classical topic by introducing new exponents of Diophantine approximation. We prove that…
