Orders in number fields provide natural examples of lattices. We ask: what can the successive minima of lattices arising from orders in number fields be? Given an order $\mathcal{O}$ of absolute discriminant $\Delta$ in a degree $n$ number…

The first and second moments are established for the family of quadratic Dirichlet $L$--functions over the rational function field at the central point $s=\tfrac{1}{2}$ where the character $\chi$ is defined by the Legendre symbol for…

We study the number of primes with a given primitive root and in an arithmetic progression under the assumption of a suitable form of the generalized Riemann Hypothesis. Previous work of Lenstra, Moree and Stevenhagen has given asymptotics…

We say a lattice point $X=(x_1,\ldots,x_m)$ is visible from the origin, if $\gcd(x_1,...,x_m)=1$. In other word, there are no other lattice point on the line segment from the origin $O$ to $X$. From J.E. Nymann's result, we know that the…

In this article, we prove that every arithmetic locally symmetric orbifold of classical type without Euclidean or compact factors has arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions in its primitive length spectrum. Moreover, we show the stronger…

The present paper analyzes the discrepancy of distribution of rational points on general semisimple algebraic group varieties. The results include mean-square, almost sure, and uniform discrepancy estimates with explicit error bounds, which…

We give explicit, polynomial-time computable formulas for the number of integer points in any two-dimensional rational polygon. A rational polygon is one whose vertices have rational coordinates. We find that the basic building blocks of…

Linnik type problems concern the distribution of projections of integral points on the unit sphere as their norm increases, and different generalizations of this phenomenon. Our work addresses a question of this type: we prove the uniform…

For a triangle $\Delta$, let (P) denote the problem of the existence of points in the plane of $\Delta$, that are at rational distance to the 3 vertices of $\Delta$. Answer to (P) is known to be positive in the following situation: $\Delta$…

This paper is concerned with configurations of points in a plane lattice which determine angles that are rational multiples of $\pi$. We shall study how many such angles may appear in a given lattice and in which positions, allowing the…

A set of positive integers is said to be primitive if no element of the set is a multiple of another. If $S$ is a primitive set and $S(x)$ is the number of elements of $S$ not exceeding $x$, then a result of Erd\H os implies that…

In the early part of the paper, various geometrical formulas are derived. Then, at some point in the paper, the concept of a Pythagorean rational is introduced. A Pythagorean rational is a rational number which is the ratio of two integers…

This paper is continuation of the paper "Primitive roots in quadratic field". We consider an analogue of Artin's primitive root conjecture for algebraic numbers which is not a unit in real quadratic fields. Given such an algebraic number,…

Let $r$ be a positive divisor of $q-1$ and $f(x,y)$ a rational function of degree sum $d$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$ with some restrictions, where the degree sum of a rational function $f(x,y) = f_1(x,y)/f_2(x,y)$ is the sum of the degrees of…

Periodic orbits (equivalence classes of closed paths up to cyclic shifts) play an important role in applications of graph theory. For example, they appear in the definition of the Ihara zeta function and exact trace formulae for the spectra…

For a rational polynomial $f$ and rational numbers $c, u$, we put $f_c(x):=f(x)+c$, and consider the Zsigmondy set $\mathcal{Z}(f_c,u)$ associated to the sequence $\{f_c^n(u)-u\}_{n\geq 0}$, where $f_c^n$ is the $n$-st iteration of $f_c$.…

A nonempty subset A of {1,2,...,n} is called primitive if gcd(A)=1. Let f(n) and f_k(n) denote, respectively, the number of primitive subsets and the number of primitive subsets of cardinality k of {1,2,...,n}. Recursion formulas and…

We consider the configuration space of planar $n$-gons with fixed perimeter, which is diffeomorphic to the complex projective space $\mathbb{C}P^{n-2}$. The oriented area function has the minimal number of critical points on the…

In this note we extend results of Olli concerning limits of point measures arising from substitutions. We consider a general primitive substitution on a finite polygon set in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and show that limits of certain atomic measures…

We provide very effective methods to convert both asymptotic and explicit numeric bounds on the prime counting function $\psi(x)$ to bounds of the same type on both $\theta(x)$ and $\pi(x)$. This follows up our previous work on $\psi(x)$ in…
