We make many new observations on primitive roots modulo primes. For an odd prime $p$ and an integer $c$, we establish a theorem concerning $\sum_g(\frac{g+c}p)$, where $g$ runs over all the primitive roots modulo $p$ among $1,\ldots,p-1$,…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. The factorization of the polynomial $x^{p+1}-1$ over the integer residue ring $\mathbb{Z}_{p^e}$ is pivotal for constructing cyclic codes with Hermitian symmetry, a critical resource for Linear Complementary Dual…

Brizolis asked the question: does every prime p have a pair (g,h) such that h is a fixed point for the discrete logarithm with base g? The author and Pieter Moree, building on work of Zhang, Cobeli, and Zaharescu, gave heuristics for…

Various applications involve assigning discrete label values to a collection of objects based on some pairwise noisy data. Due to the discrete---and hence nonconvex---structure of the problem, computing the optimal assignment (e.g.~maximum…

We show that the existence of a non-trivial solution of $x^n+y^n=p^n$, with $p$ a prime number, is equivalent to the existence of a solution of a certain (over-determined) system of $(n-1)$-recursion relations ("zipper" equations) in…

It is conjectured that the Markoff equation $X^2+Y^2+Z^2=3XYZ$ satisfies the special Diophantine property that every mod $p$ solution lifts to an integer solution. Progress toward this conjecture has been made by studying the connectedness…
