The classical congruences satisfied by the Fibonacci and Lucas sequences are reflected with the decomposition of primes in the ring generated by the gold number. This generalizes to establish a correspondence that we hope will be new…

Using degeneration and Schubert calculus, we consider the problem of computing the number of linear series of given degree $d$ and dimension $r$ on a general curve of genus $g$ satisfying prescribed incidence conditions at $n$ points. We…

Much of the power of probabilistic methods in modelling language comes from their ability to compare several derivations for the same string in the language. An important starting point for the study of such cross-derivational properties is…

By counting the numbers of periodic points of all periods for some interval maps, we obtain infinitely many new congruence identities in number theory.

In this paper, we investigate the interplay between positive-definite integral ternary quadratic forms and class numbers. We generalize a result of Jones relating the theta function for the genus of a quadratic form to the Hurwitz class…

Given a finite group $G$ and an irreducible complex character $\chi$ of $G$, the codegree of $\chi$ is defined as the integer ${\rm cod}(\chi)=|G:\ker\chi|/\chi(1)$. It was conjectured by G. Qian in [13] that, for every element $g$ of $G$,…

We study Tamagawa numbers and other invariants (especially Tate-Shafarevich sets) attached to commutative and pseudo-reductive groups over global function fields. In particular, we prove a simple formula for Tamagawa numbers of commutative…

We define a class of so-called thinnable ideals $\mathcal{I}$ on the positive integers which includes several well-known examples, e.g., the collection of sets with zero asymptotic density, sets with zero logarithmic density, and several…

Let $n$ be a positive square-free integer, where every odd prime factor of $n$ has form $8a\pm 1$. We determine when $n$ is non-congruent with second minimal $2$-primary Shafarevich-Tate group, in terms of the $4$-ranks of class groups and…

The Duffin--Schaeffer Conjecture answers a question on how well one can approximate irrationals by rational numbers in reduced form (an imposed condition) where the accuracy of the approximation depends on the rational number. It can be…

We prove that there are infinitely many $n$ such that $\omega(n+k) \ll \log k$ for all integers $k \ge 2$. This improves on a result of Tao-Ter\"{a}v\"{a}inen (2025), who has $O(k)$ in place of $O(\log k)$. As corollaries, we make progress…

We provide conjectural necessary and (separately) sufficient conditions for the Hilbert scheme of points of a given length to have the maximum dimension tangent space at a point. The sufficient condition is claimed for 3D and reduces the…

Let $A$ be a finite set of relatively prime positive integers, and let $S(A)$ be the set of all nonnegative integral linear combinations of elements of $A$. The set $S(A)$ is a semigroup that contains all sufficiently large integers. The…

Many classical ring-theoretic results state that an ideal that is maximal with respect to satisfying a special property must be prime. We present a "Prime Ideal Principle" that gives a uniform method of proving such facts, generalizing the…

Let ${\mathbb K}={\mathbb Q}(\sqrt{m})$ be a real quadratic number field, where $m>1$ is a squarefree integer. Suppose that $0 < \theta< \pi $ has rational cosine, say $\cos (\theta)=s/r$ with $0< |s|<r$ and $\gcd(r,s)=1$. A positive…

For an uncountable cardinal \tau and a subset S of an abelian group G, the following conditions are equivalent: (i) |{ns:s\in S}|\ge \tau for all integers n\ge 1; (ii) there exists a group homomorphism \pi:G\to T^{2^\tau} such that \pi(S)…

We study the congruence classes attained by positive integers $D$ with a prescribed period of the continued fraction of $\sqrt D$. As an application, we refine the available results on large ranks of universal quadratic forms over real…

In this paper, a simple explanation for the Goldbach Conjecture is given. We have shown that the probability of violating the conjecture not only for the prime numbers, but also for any subset of natural numbers whose distribution is…

In universal algebra, it is well known that varieties admitting a majority term admit several Mal'tsev-type characterizations. The main aim of this paper is to establish categorical counterparts of some of these characterizations for…

We prove some theorems which give sufficient conditions for the existence of prime numbers among the terms of a sequence which has pairwise relatively prime terms.
