We prove the Farrell-Jones fibered isomorphism conjecture for several classes of Artin groups of finite and affine types. As a consequence, we compute explicitly the surgery obstruction groups of the finite type pure Artin groups.

For a nonnegative integer $t$, let $c_t$ be the asymptotic density of natural numbers $n$ for which $s(n + t) \geq s(n)$, where $s(n)$ denotes the sum of digits of $n$ in base $2$. We prove that $c_t > 1/2$ for $t$ in a set of asymptotic…

Recently, Donoso, Le, Moreira and Sun studied the asymptotic behavior of the averages of completely multiplicative functions over the Gaussian integers. They derived Wirsing's theorem for Gaussian integers, answered a question of…

In this paper, we make a conjecture (conjecture 1) related to the Bateman-Horn conjecture and proceed to study the roots of $x^2+1$ and $x^2+2$ to prime moduli, assuming the truth of the Bateman-Horn conjecture and conjecture 1 and using…

In this paper we present a method for producing asymptotic estimates for the number of integers in a given S having only ``small'' prime factors. The conditions that need to be verified are simpler than those required by other methods, and…

We consider the rooted trees which not have isomorphic representation and introduce a conception of complexity a natural number also. The connection between quantity such trees with $n$ edges and a complexity of natural number $n$ is…

We give two determinantal representations for a bivariate polynomial. They may be used to compute the zeros of a system of two of these polynomials via the eigenvalues of a two-parameter eigenvalue problem. The first determinantal…

For $x\ge0$ let $\pi(x)$ be the number of primes not exceeding $x$. The asymptotic behaviors of the prime-counting function $\pi(x)$ and the $n$-th prime $p_n$ have been studied intensively in analytic number theory. Surprisingly, we find…

Let $p$ be an odd prime and $d = p^{\tau}(p-1)$. In the spirit of Aritn's conjecture, consider the system of two diagonal forms of degree $d$ in $s$ variables given by \begin{equation*}\begin{split} a_1x_1^d + \cdots + a_sx_s^d = 0\\…

The first purpose of our paper is to show how Hooley's celebrated method leading to his conditional proof of the Artin conjecture on primitive roots can be combined with the Hardy-Littlewood circle method. We do so by studying the number of…

An arithmetic formula is an expression involving only the constant $1$, and the binary operations of addition and multiplication, with multiplication by $1$ not allowed. We obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of arithmetic formulas…

Motivated by a question of V. Bergelson and F. K. Richter (2017), we obtain asymptotic formulas for the number of relatively prime tuples composed of positive integers $n\le N$ and integer parts of polynomials evaluated at $n$. The error…

Given an explicit presentation of a reflection group of rank two (or any rank two group for that matter), we give a simple procedure for calculating all its systems of imprimitivity, when viewed as a matrix group over the quaternions. This…

We count with a smooth weight the number of $2 \times 2$ integer matrices with a fixed characteristic polynomial with a main term and an error term using bounds for sums of Weyl sums for quadratic roots.

Given an arbitrary ordered pair of coprime integers (a,b) we obtain a pair of identities of the Rogers--Ramanujan type. These identities have the same product side as the (first) Andrews--Gordon identity for modulus 2ab\pm 1, but an…

We use elementary arguments to prove results on the order of magnitude of certain sums concerning the gcd's and lcm's of $k$ positive integers, where $k\ge 2$ is fixed. We refine and generalize an asymptotic formula of Bordell\`{e}s (2007),…

Let A be a set of nonnegative integers. For every nonnegative integer n and positive integer h, let r_{A}(n,h) denote the number of representations of n in the form n = a_1 + a_2 + ... + a_h, where a_1, a_2,..., a_h are elements of A and…

Let $p \geq 2$ be a large prime, and let $k \ll \log p $ be a small integer. This note proves the existence of various configurations of $(k+1)$-tuples of consecutive and quasi consecutive primitive roots $n+a_0, n+a_1, n+a_2, \ldots,…

A perfect cuboid is a rectangular parallelepiped whose edges, whose face diagonals, and whose space diagonal are of integer lengths. The second cuboid conjecture specifies a subclass of perfect cuboids described by one Diophantine equation…

Let E be a one-parameter family of elliptic curves over a number field. It is natural to expect the average root number of the curves in the family to be zero. All known counterexamples to this folk conjecture occur for families obeying a…
