We show that for each n-tuple of positive rational integers (a_1,..,a_n) there are sets of primes S of arbitrarily large cardinality s such that the solutions of the equation a_1x_1+...+a_nx_n=1 with the x_i all S-units are not contained in…

In 2016, in the work related to Galois representations, Greenberg conjectured the existence of multi-quadratic $p$-rational number fields of degree $2^{t}$ for any odd prime number $p$ and any integer $t \geq 1$. Using the criteria provided…

A quadrilateral is said to be rational if its four sides, the two diagonals and the area are all expressible by rational numbers. The problem of constructing rational quadrilaterals dates back to the seventh century when Brahmagupta gave an…

Let $\bar{X}_{n}=(x_{1},\ldots,x_{n})$ and $\sigma_{i}(\bar{X}_{n})=\sum x_{k_{1}}\ldots x_{k_{i}}$ be $i$-th elementary symmetric polynomial. In this note we prove that there are infinitely many triples of integers $a, b, c$ such that for…

Let x be a real number and let n be a positive integer. We define four exponents of Diophantine approximation, which complement the exponents w_n(x) and w_n^*(x) defined by Mahler and Koksma. We calculate their six values when n=2 and x is…

Starting with Zhang's theorem on the infinitude of prime doubles, we give an inductive argument that there exists an infinite number of prime $k$-tuples for at least one admissible set $\mathcal{H}_k=\{h_1,\ldots,h_k\}$ for each $k$.

Fix an irrational number $\theta$. For a real number $\tau >0$, consider the numbers $y$ satisfying that for all large number $Q$, there exists an integer $1\leq n\leq Q$, such that $\|n\theta-y\|<Q^{-\tau}$, where $\|\cdot\|$ is the…

In this note we consider the title Diophantine equation from both theoretical as well as experimental point of view. In particular, we prove that for $k=4, 6$ and each choice of the signs our equation has infinitely many co-prime positive…

Let f(1)=1, and let f(n+1)=2^{2^{f(n)}} for every positive integer n. We conjecture that if a system S \subseteq {x_i \cdot x_j=x_k: i,j,k \in {1,...,n}} \cup {x_i+1=x_k: i,k \in {1,...,n}} has only finitely many solutions in non-negative…

Intrinsic Diophantine approximation on fractals, such as the Cantor ternary set, was undoubtedly motivated by questions asked by K. Mahler (1984). One of the main goals of this paper is to develop and utilize the theory of infinite de…

Problems related to the existence of integral and rational points on cubic curves date back at least to Diophantus. A significant step in the modern theory of these equations was made by Siegel, who proved that a non-singular plane cubic…

In this paper, first, we prove that the Diophantine system \[f(z)=f(x)+f(y)=f(u)-f(v)=f(p)f(q)\] has infinitely many integer solutions for $f(X)=X(X+a)$ with nonzero integers $a\equiv 0,1,4\pmod{5}$. Second, we show that the above…
