We are concerned with the half-space Dirichlet problem \[\begin{array}{ll} -\Delta v+v=|v|^{p-1}v & \textrm{in}\ \mathbb{R}^N_+, v=c\ \textrm{on}\ \partial\mathbb{R}^N_+, &\lim_{x_N\to \infty}v(x',x_N)=0\ \textrm{uniformly in}\…
In this work we illustrate the resurgent structure of the $\lambda$-deformation; a two-dimensional integrable quantum field theory that has an RG flow with an $SU(N)_k$ Wess-Zumino-Witten conformal fixed point in the UV. To do so we use…
The study of noncommutative solitons is greatly facilitated if the field equations are integrable, i.e. result from a linear system. For the example of a modified but integrable U(n) sigma model in 2+1 dimensions we employ the dressing…
In 1997 we proved that if $n$ is of the form $$ 4k, \quad 8k-1\quad {\rm or} \quad 2^{2m+1}(2k-1)+3, $$ where $k,m\in \mathbb N,$ then there are no positive rational numbers $x,y,z$ satisfying $$ xyz = 1, \quad x+y+z = n. $$ Recently, N. X.…
Let $[\, x\,]$ denote the integer part of a real number $x$. Assume that $\lambda_1,\lambda_2,\lambda_3$ are nonzero real numbers, not all of the same sign, that $\lambda_1/\lambda_2$ is irrational, and that $\eta$ is real. Let…
We show that for some $k\le 3570$ and all $k$ with $442720643463713815200|k$, the equation $\phi(n)=\phi(n+k)$ has infinitely many solutions $n$, where $\phi$ is Euler's totient function. We also show that for a positive proportion of all…
When $A$ and $B$ are subsets of the integers in $[1,X]$ and $[1,Y]$ respectively, with $|A| \geq \alpha X$ and $|B| \geq \beta X$, we show that the number of rational numbers expressible as $a/b$ with $(a,b)$ in $A \times B$ is $\gg (\alpha…
This paper consists of three parts: First, letting $b_1(z)$, $b_2(z)$, $p_1(z)$ and $p_2(z)$ be nonzero polynomials such that $p_1(z)$ and $p_2(z)$ have the same degree $k\geq 1$ and distinct leading coefficients $1$ and $\alpha$,…
We consider the asymptotics of sums of the form $$ \frac1{F_n^\sigma} \sum_{m = 1}^{F_n-1} \frac{f(m/F_n)}{\left|{\sin(\pi m/F_n)}\right|^\sigma} \frac{f(F_{n-1}m/F_n)}{\left|{\sin(\pi F_{n-1}m/F_n)}\right|^\sigma} $$ where $(F_n)_{n \in…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field of $q$ elements and $a_1,a_2, \ldots, a_k, b\in \mathbb{F}_q$. We investigate $N_{\mathbb{F}_q}(a_1, a_2, \ldots,a_k;b)$, the number of ordered solutions $(x_1, x_2, \ldots,x_k)\in\mathbb{F}_q^k$ of…
Let $f$ be a homogeneous polynomial over a field. For many fields, including number fields and function fields, we prove that the strength of $f$ is bounded above by a constant multiple of the Birch rank of $f.$ The constant depends only on…
In this paper, it is shown that if F(x , y) is an irreducible binary form with integral coefficients and degree $n \geq 3$, then provided that the absolute value of the discriminant of F is large enough, the equation |F(x , y)| = 1 has at…
It is shown that there exist infinitely many non-integers $r>2$ such that the Dehn function of some finitely presented group is $\simeq n^r$. For each positive rational number $s$ we construct pairs of finitely presented groups $H\subset G$…

In this paper, we are going to study the existence of solution for the following Kirchhoff problem $$ \left\{ \begin{array}{l} M\biggl(\displaystyle\int_{\mathbb{R}^{3}}|\nabla u|^{2} dx +\displaystyle\int_{\mathbb{R}^{3}} \lambda…
Let $f(t_1,\ldots,t_n)$ be a nondegenerate integral quadratic form. We analyze the asymptotic behavior of the function $D_f(X)$, the number of integers of absolute value up to $X$ represented by $f$. When $f$ is isotropic or $n$ is at least…
We establish effective versions of Oppenheim's conjecture for generic inhomogeneous quadratic forms. We prove such results for fixed shift vectors and generic quadratic forms. When the shift is rational we prove a counting result which…
This paper contributes to the conjecture of R. Scott and R. Styer which asserts that for any fixed relatively prime positive integers $a,b$ and $c$ all greater than 1 there is at most one solution to the equation $a^x+b^y=c^z$ in positive…
We give an explicit upper bound for the number of equivalence classes of binary forms with rational integral coefficients of given degree and given discriminant, and with given splitting field. Further, we give an explicit upper bound for…
Let $\mathcal{F}=\{f_1,\ldots,f_R\}$ be a family of forms of odd degrees at most $d$ in $s$ variables. We study the solutions to the system $f_1(\mathbf{x})=\ldots=f_R(\mathbf{x})=0$ of the form $x_i=y_ip_i$ with $|y_i|\leq Y_\mathcal{F}$…
