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…
Using a quartic surface and its rational curves we can give an infinite number of integer hexahedra; these are 6 sided 3d solids, each face a trapezoid, with all sides and diagonals having intger lengths.
A positive definite quadratic form is called perfect, if it is uniquely determined by its arithmetical minimum and the integral vectors attaining it. In this self-contained survey we explain how to enumerate perfect forms in $d$ variables…
We study the theta map which assigns to a real quadratic form its theta series. We introduce two invariants reflecting whether the differential of the theta map vanishes or is degenerate. We provide examples of lattices where this…

The problem of constructing a perfect cuboid is related to a certain class of univariate polynomials with three integer parameters $a$, $b$, and $u$. Their irreducibility over the ring of integers under certain restrictions for $a$, $b$,…
We deal with the algebraicity of an iterated Puiseux series in several variables in terms of the properties of its coefficients. Our aim is to generalize to several variables the results from [HM15]. We show that the algebraicity of such a…
We develop a theory of $p$-adic continued fractions for a quaternion algebra $B$ over $\mathbb Q$ ramified at a rational prime $p$. Many properties holding in the commutative case can be proven also in this setting. In particular, we focus…
The new necessary and sufficient affine invariant conditions for the existence and for determining the number of centers for general quadratic system are pointed out. These conditions correspond to the partition of 12-dimensional…
In the framework of adelic approach we consider real and p-adic properties of dynamical system given by linear fractional map f (x) = (a x + b)/(c x + d), where a, b, c and d are rational numbers. In particular, we investigate behavior of…
For each integer $m\ge3$, let $P_m(x)$ denote the generalized $m$-gonal number $\frac{(m-2)x^2-(m-4)x}{2}$ with $x\in\mathbb{Z}$. Given positive integers $a,b,c,k$ and an odd prime number $p$ with $p\nmid c$, we employ the theory of ternary…
This paper deals with surfaces with many lines. It is well-known that a cubic contains 27 of them and that the maximal number for a quartic is 64. In higher degree the question remains open. Here we study classical and new constructions of…
We introduce a new class of generalised quadratic forms over totally real number fields, which is rich enough to capture the arithmetic of arbitrary systems of quadrics over the rational numbers. We explore this connection through a version…
We consider a system of homogeneous quadratic forms with congruence conditions in $n\geq 3$ variables and prove the existence of two linearly independent integral solutions of bounded height. We also show the existence of small height…
We prove the Hasse principle and weak approximation for varieties defined over number fields by the nonsingular intersection of pairs of quadratic forms in 8 variables. The argument develops work of Colliot-Thelene, Sansuc and…
In 2016, Ahlgren and Samart used the theory of holomorphic modular forms to obtain lower bounds on $p$-adic valuations related to the Fourier coefficients of three cusp forms. In particular, their work strengthened a previous result of…
We prove Kitaoka's conjecture for all totally real number fields of degree 4 -- namely, there is no positive definite classical quadratic form in three variables which is universal. To achieve this, we study the fields (often without…
This paper presents an adaptation of recently developed algorithms for quadratic forms over number fields in arXiv:1304.0708 to global function fields of odd characteristics. First, we present algorithm for checking if a given…
We give an infinite family of polynomials that have roots modulo every positive integer but fail to have rational roots. Each polynomial in this family is made up of monic quadratic factors that do not have linear term.
The subset of quadratic primes {p = an^2 + bn + c : n => 1} generated by an irreducible polynomial f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c over the integers is widely believed to be an unbounded subset of prime numbers. This note provides the details of a…
