Let $\mathrm{d}(A)$ be the asymptotic density (if it exists) of a sequence of integers $A$. For any real numbers $0\leq\alpha\leq\beta\leq 1$, we solve the question of the existence of a sequence $A$ of positive integers such that…

We characterize the generating function of the number of representations described in the title in terms of the theory of modular forms. Appealing to this characterization we obtain explicit formulas for the representation numbers as…

We explore the distribution of class numbers $h(d)$ of indefinite binary quadratic forms, for discriminants $d$ such that the corresponding fundamental unit $\varepsilon_d$ is lower than $d^{1/2+\alpha}$, where $0<\alpha<1/2$. To do so we…

For any nonzero $h\in\mathbb{Z}$, we prove that a positive proportion of integral binary cubic forms $F$ do locally everywhere represent $h$ but do not globally represent $h$; that is, a positive proportion of cubic Thue equations…

Let X = S \oplus G, where S is a countable abelian semigroup and G is a countably infinite abelian group such that {2g : g in G} is infinite. Let pi: X \to G be the projection map defined by pi(s,g) = g for all x =(s,g) in X. Let f:X \to…

Erd\"os conjectured the existence of an infinite Sidon sequence of positive integers which is also an asymptotic basis of order 3. We make progress towards this conjecture in several directions. First we prove the conjecture for all cyclic…

The aim of the present article is to explore the possibilities of representing positive integers as sums of other positive integers and highlight certain fundamental connections between their multiplicative and additive properties. In…

Let $F$ and $G$ be integer polynomials where $F$ has degree at least $2$. Define the sequence $(a_n)$ by $a_n=F(a_{n-1})$ for all $n\ge 1$ and $a_0=0.$ Let $\mathscr{B}_{F,\,G,\,k}$ be the set of all positive integers $n$ such that $k\mid…

Let F be a totally real number field, n a prime integer, and G a unitary group of rank n defined over F that is compact at every infinite place. We prove an asymptotic formula for the number of cuspidal automorphic representations of G…

Prempreesuk, Noppakaew, and Pongsriiam determined the Zeckendorf representation of the multiplicative inverse of $2$ modulo $F_n$, for every positive integer $n$ not divisible by $3$, where $F_n$ denotes the $n$th Fibonacci number. We…

Julia Robinson has given a first-order definition of the rational integers $\mathbb Z$ in the rational numbers $\mathbb Q$ by a formula $(\forall \exists \forall \exists)(F=0)$ where the $\forall$-quantifiers run over a total of 8…

We prove the following statement about any Siegel modular form $F$ of degree $n$ and arbitrary odd level $N$ on the group $\Gamma_{0}^{(n)}(N)$. Let $A(F,T)$ denote the Fourier coefficients of $F$ and write $T=(T(i,j))$. Suppose that $F$…

Let A be a set of integers and let h \geq 2. For every integer n, let r_{A, h}(n) denote the number of representations of n in the form n=a_1+...+a_h, where a_1,...,a_h belong to the set A, and a_1\leq ... \leq a_h. The function r_{A,h}…

By the theory of elliptic curves, we study the integers representable as the product of the sum of four integers with the sum of their reciprocals and give a sufficient condition for the integers with a positive representation.

Let $f$ be a polynomial with integer coefficients such that $f(n)$ positive for any positive integer $n$. We consider diverging sequences $\{ y_n\}$ given by $y_0 = b$ and $y_{n+1} = f^{y_n}(a)$ with positive integers $a$ and $b$. We show…

We establish a criterion for a complex number to be algebraic over Q of degree at most two. It requires that, for any sufficiently large real number X, there exists a non-zero polynomial with integral coefficients, of degree at most two and…

Let $S$ be a finite set of primes. The $S$-part $[m]_S$ of a non-zero integer $m$ is the largest positive divisor of $m$ that is composed of primes from $S$. In 2013, Gross and Vincent proved that if $f(X)$ is a polynomial with integer…

Zaremba's conjecture (1971) states that every positive integer number $d$ can be represented as a denominator (continuant) of a finite continued fraction $\frac{b}{d}=[d_1,d_2,\ldots,d_{k}],$ with all partial quotients…

Let $h,k \ge 2$ be integers. A set $A$ of positive integers is called asymptotic basis of order $k$ if every large enough positive integer can be written as the sum of $k$ terms from $A$. A set of positive integers $A$ is said to be a…
