We prove that for any given positive integer $\ell$ there are infinitely many imaginary quadratic fields with 2-class group of type $(2,2^\ell)$, and provide a lower bound for the number of such groups with bounded discriminant for…
We introduce a zeta function counting imaginary quadratic number fields by their class numbers. It is proved that such a function is rational depending only on the eight roots of unity of degrees $1$ and $2$. As a corollary, one gets a…
The Hilbert function of a module over a positively graded algebra is of quasi-polynomial type (Hilbert--Serre). We derive an upper bound for its grade, i.e. the index from which on its coefficients are constant. As an application, we give a…
In this paper we provide criteria for the insolvability of the Diophantine equation $x^2+D=y^n$. This result is then used to determine the class number of the quadratic field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-D})$. We also determine some criteria for the…
It is shown using Schur complement techniques that on finite dimensional Hilbert spaces, a non-negative operator valued trigonometric polynomial in two variables with degree $(d_1,d_2)$ can be written as a finite sum of hermitian squares of…
In this paper, we show the existence of a transcendental function $f\in\mathbb{Z}\{z\}$ with coefficients that are almost all bounded such that $f$ and all its derivatives assume algebraic values at algebraic points. Furthermore, we…
By considering the norm of elements in the ring of integers in $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-a})$, we give an algebraic approach to count the number of integral solutions of diophantine equations of the form $x^2+ay^2=n$ where $a$ is a Heegner number…
We calculate the formal analytic expansions of certain formal translations in a space of formal iterated logarithmic and exponential variables. The results show how the algebraic structure naturally involves the Stirling numbers of the…
The primary purpose of this article is to study the asymptotic and numerical estimates in detail for higher degree polynomials in $\pi(x)$ having a general expression of the form, \begin{align*} P(\pi(x)) - \frac{e x}{\log x} Q(\pi(x/e)) +…
In this paper we are interested in the class numbers of a family of real quadratic fields for which the square roots of the discriminants have a known expansion in continued fraction. In particular we prove that $h(D)>1$, with possibly a…
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…
We axiomatize a class of existentially closed exponential fields equipped with an $E$-derivation. We apply our results to the field of real numbers endowed with $exp(x)$ the classical exponential function defined by its power series…
Arithmetic differential equations are analogues of algebraic differential equations in which derivative operators acting on functions are replaced by Fermat quotient operators acting on numbers. Now, various remarkable transcendental…
Building on work of Davenport and Schmidt, we mainly prove two results. The first one is a version of Gel'fond's transcendence criterion which provides a sufficient condition for a complex or $p$-adic number $\xi$ to be algebraic in terms…
We give an upper bound for the exponential $\sum_{m=1}^M \exp( 2i\pi f (m))$ in terms of $M$ and $\lambda$, where $\lambda$ is a small positive number which denotes the size of the fourth derivative of the real valued function $f$. The…
For noncommutative variables x,y an expansion of log(exp(x)exp(y)) in powers of x+y is obtained.Each term of the series is given by an infinite sum in powers of x-y.The series is represented by diagrams.
An integer is said to be $y$-friable if its greatest prime factor is less than $y$. In this paper, we obtain estimates for exponential sums over $y$-friable numbers up to $x$ which are non-trivial when $y \geq \exp\{c \sqrt{\log x} \log…
Let X be a projective curve over Q and t a non-constant Q-rational function on X of degree n>1. For every integer a pick a points P(a) on X such that t(P(a))=a. Dvornicich and Zannier (1994) proved that for large N the field Q(P(1), ...,…
We study the shifted convolution problem for the divisor function in function fields in the large degree limit, that is, the average value of $d(f) d(f+h)$ where $f$ runs over monic polynomials in $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ of a given degree, and…
Crouzeix and Palencia recently showed that the numerical range of a Hilbert-space operator is a $(1+\sqrt2)$-spectral set for the operator. One of the principal ingredients of their proof can be formulated as an abstract functional-analysis…
