A nonzero rational number is called a cube sum if it is of form $a^3+b^3$ with $a,b\in \mathbb{Q}^\times$. In this paper, we prove that for any odd integer $k\geq 1$, there exist infinitely many cube-free odd integers $n$ with exactly $k$…

We extend some parts of the representation theory for integral quadratic forms over the ring of integers of a number field to the case over the coordinate ring $k[C]$ of an affine curve $C$ over a general base field $k$. By using the genus…

In this work, we analyze the behavior of the self-conjugate 6-core partition numbers $sc_{6}(n)$ by utilizing the theory of quadratic and modular forms. In particular, we explore when $sc_{6}(n) > 0$. Positivity of $sc_{t}(n)$ has been…
