Silverman proved the analogue of Zsigmondy's Theorem for elliptic divisibility sequences. For elliptic curves in global minimal form, it seems likely this result is true in a uniform manner. We present such a result for certain infinite…

Let $P$ and $Q$ be polynomials in one variable over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic zero. Let $f$ and $g$ be elements of a function field $\K$ over $k$ such that $P(f)=Q(g).$ We give conditions on $P$ and $Q$ such that…

We describe a very general abstract form of sieve based on a large sieve inequality which generalizes both the classical sieve inequality of Montgomery (and its higher-dimensional variants), and our recent sieve for Frobenius over function…

In the paper we partially solved the problem of the distribution of the discriminants of integral polynomials in the cubic case. We proved the asymptotic formula for the number of integral cubic polynomials having bounded height and bounded…

We consider maximum principles and related estimates for linear second order elliptic partial differential operators in n-dimensional Euclidean space, which improve previous results, with H-J Kuo, through sharp Lp dependence on the drift…

We adapt the CRT approach for computing Hilbert class polynomials to handle a wide range of class invariants. For suitable discriminants D, this improves its performance by a large constant factor, more than 200 in the most favourable…

For a function field $K$ and fixed polynomial $F\in K[x]$ and varying $f\in F$ (under certain restrictions) we give a lower bound for the degree of the greatest prime divisor of $F(f)$ in terms of the height of $f$, establishing a strong…

In this paper, for a given Dirichlet character mod $N$ with $4\nmid N$, we give a lower bound of order $\sqrt{s/\log(s)}$ for the dimension of the $\mathbb{Q}(e^{2i\pi/N})$-vector space spanned by the values of its $L$-function at integers…

The present note is devoted to an amendment to a recent paper of Ellenberg, Lawrence and Venkatesh. Roughly speaking, the main result here states the subpolynomial growth of the number of integral points with bounded height of a variety…

An equation containing a fractional power of an elliptic operator of second order is studied for Dirichlet boundary conditions. Finite difference approximations in space are employed. The proposed numerical algorithm is based on solving an…

We solve the isoclinic Deligne--Simpson problem for exceptional groups, completing a program initiated by Sage et al. and Jakob--Yun. As a by-product, we obtain new examples of physically rigid irregular connections on the projective line.…

Let $p$ denote an odd prime. In this paper, we are concerned with the $p$-divisibility of additive exponential sums associated to one variable polynomials over a finite field of characteristic $p$, and with (the very close question of)…

The complexity of the elliptic curve method of factorization (ECM) is proven under the celebrated conjecture of existence of smooth numbers in short intervals. In this work we tackle a different version of ECM which is actually much more…

Given an elliptic curve $E$ in Legendre form $y^2 = x(x - 1)(x - \lambda)$ over the fraction field of a Henselian ring $R$ of mixed characteristic $(0, 2)$, we present an algorithm for determining a semistable model of $E$ over $R$ which…

I provide a systematic construction of points, defined over finite radical extensions, on any Legendre curve over any field of characteristic not equal two. This includes as special case Douglas Ulmer's construction of rational points over…

We are interested in determining the bound of the average of the degrees of the irreducible characters whose degrees are not divisible by some prime $p$ that guarantees a finite group $G$ of odd order is $p$-nilpotent. We find a bound that…

Let $F(x)$ be an irreducible polynomial with integer coefficients and degree at least 2. For $x\ge z\ge y\ge 2$, denote by $H_F(x, y, z)$ the number of integers $n\le x$ such that $F(n)$ has at least one divisor $d$ with $y<d\le z$. We…

We study some divisibility properties of multiperfect numbers. Our main result is: if $N=p_1^{\alpha_1}... p_s^{\alpha_s} q_1^{2\beta_1}... q_t^{2\beta_t}$ with $\beta_1, ..., \beta_t$ in some finite set S satisfies…

Let $p$ be a prime number and let $ k $ be a number field, which does not contain the field $\mathbb{Q} (\zeta_p + \bar{\zeta_p})$. Let $\mathcal{E}$ be an elliptic curve defined over $k$. We prove that if there are no $k$-rational torsion…

The Hilbert function of a module over a positively graded algebra is of quasi-polynomial type (Hilbert--Serre). We derive an upper bound for its grade, i.e. the index from which on its coefficients are constant. As an application, we give a…
