In this paper we use techniques first introduced by Florea to improve the asymptotic formula for the first moment of the quadratic Dirichlet L-functions over the rational function field, running over all monic, square-free polynomials of…

We introduce the ring of Fermat reals, an extension of the real field containing nilpotent infinitesimals. The construction takes inspiration from Smooth Infinitesimal Analysis (SIA), but provides a powerful theory of actual infinitesimals…

Some basic topics in the light-front (LF) quantization of relativistic field theory are reviewed. It is argued that the LF quantization is equally appropriate as the conventional one and that they lead, assuming the micro- causality…

A reformulation of fermionic QFT in electromagnetic backgrounds is presented which uses methods analogous to those of conventional multiparticle quantum mechanics. Emphasis is placed on the (Schr\"odinger picture) states of the system,…

We propose conjectural generalizations of the Fermat-Catalan conjecture, the Tijdeman-Zagier conjecture, and of the Fermat Last Theorem, in which powers are replaced by products of integers. We also formulate a new explicit version of the…

The Fluctuation Theorem (FT) gives an analytic expression for the probability, in a nonequilibrium system of finite size observed for a finite time, that the dissipative flux will flow in the reverse direction to that required by the Second…

Several complications arise in quantum field theory because of the infinite many degrees of freedom. However, the distinction between one-particle and many-particle effects -- mainly induced by the vacuum -- is not clear up to now. A field…

An extension of the Dirac procedure for the quantization of constrained systems is necessary to address certain issues that are left open in Dirac's original proposal. These issues play an important role especially in the context of…

We present the proof of Diophantus' 20th problem (book VI of Diophantus' Arithmetica), which consists in wondering if there exist right triangles whose sides may be measured as integers and whose surface may be a square. This problem was…

In this paper, we consider sums of generalized polygonal numbers with repeats, generalizing Fermat's polygonal number theorem which was proven by Cauchy. In particular, we obtain the minimal number of generalized $m$-gonal numbers required…

Recently the Fermi GBM and LAT Collaborations reported their new observational data disfavoring quite a number of the quantum gravity theories, including the one suggesting the nonlinear (logarithmic) modification of a quantum wave…

The First and Second Liouville's Theorems provide correspondingly criterium for integrability of elementary functions "in finite terms" and criterium for solvability of second order linear differential equations by quadratures. The…

We obtain an asymptotic formula for the smoothly weighted first moment of primitive quadratic Dirichlet L-functions at the central point, with an error term that is "square-root" of the main term. Our approach uses a recursive technique…

A first-order relativistic wave equation is constructed in five dimensions. Its solutions are eight-component spinors, which are interpreted as single-particle fermion wave functions in four-dimensional spacetime. Use of a ``cylinder…

Starting from an interpretation of the classical-quantum correspondence, we derive the Dirac equation by factorizing the algebraic relation satisfied by the classical Hamiltonian, before applying the correspondence. This derivation applies…

We give a simple direct proof of Fermat's two squares theorem. Our argument uses no intricate notions or ideas; one might say that it is a proof by careful bookkeeping. As such, the proof may be particularly easy to comprehend by students…

Let $K$ be a totally real number field of odd degree. Let $l \geq 5$ be a prime with $l \nmid [K:\mathbb{Q}]$ and $\gcd(\frac{l-1}{2}, [K:\mathbb{Q}])=1$. We prove that if $2$ is inert in $K$, $l$ is non-Wieferich, i.e., $2^{l-1} \not\equiv…
