Fix m >= 1 and let E be an elliptic curve over Q with complex multiplication. We formulate conjectures on the density of primes p (congruent to one modulo m) for which the pth Fourier coefficient of E is an mth power modulo p; often these…

We investigate the solvability of the Diophantine equation in the title, where $d>1$ is a square-free integer, $p, q$ are distinct odd primes and $x,y,a,b$ are unknown positive integers with $\gcd(x,y)=1$. We describe all the integer…

Let $N$ be a positive integer, $\mathbb{A}$ be a nonempty subset of $\mathbb{Q}$ and $\alpha=\dfrac{\alpha_{1}}{\alpha_{2}}\in \mathbb{A}\setminus \{0,N\}$. $\alpha$ is called an $N$-Korselt base (equivalently $N$ is said an…

Given an elliptic curve $E$ and a finite Abelian group $G$, we consider the problem of counting the number of primes $p$ for which the group of points modulo $p$ is isomorphic to $G$. Under a certain conjecture concerning the distribution…

Let $n$ be a positive integer. We discuss pairs of distinct odd primes $p$ and $q$ not dividing $n$ for which the Diophantine equations $pq=x^2+ny^2$ have integer solutions in $x$ and $y$. As its examples we classify all such pairs of $p$…

We analyze the Gaussian approximation as a method to obtain the first and second moments of a stochastic process described by a master equation. We justify the use of this approximation with ideas coming from van Kampen's expansion approach…

The paper deals with best one--sided (lower or upper) Diophantine approximations of the $\ell$-th kind ($\ell\in\mathbb{N}$). We use the ordinary continued fraction expansions to formulate explicit criteria for a fraction…

We consider the distribution of spacings between consecutive elements in subsets of Z/qZ where q is highly composite and the subsets are defined via the Chinese remainder theorem. We give a sufficient criterion for the spacing distribution…

It is known that the M\"obius function in number theory is higher order oscillating. In this paper we show that there is another kind of higher order oscillating sequences in the form $(e^{2\pi i \alpha \beta^{n}g(\beta)})_{n\in \N}$, for a…

A new derivation of Golomb's limit formula for generating the $n$th$+1$ prime number is presented. The limit formula is derived by extracting $p_{n+1}$ from Euler's prime product representation of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ in the…

For fixed $q\in\{3,7,11,19, 43,67,163\}$, we consider the density of primes $p$ congruent to $1$ modulo $4$ such that the class group of the number field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-qp})$ has order divisible by $16$. We show that this density is…

Recently, Bruinier and Ono classified cusp forms $f(z) := \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_f(n)q ^n \in S_{\lambda+1/2}(\Gamma_0(N),\chi)\cap \mathbb{Z}[[q]]$ that does not satisfy a certain distribution property for modulo odd primes $p$. In this…

We consider Bayesian inference problems with computationally intensive likelihood functions. We propose a Gaussian process (GP) based method to approximate the joint distribution of the unknown parameters and the data. In particular, we…

Let $Q$ be a set of primes with relative density $\delta$. We count integers in $[1,x]$ with prime factors all in $Q$ that also have a divisor in $(y,2y]$. We establish the order of magnitude for all $\delta \in (0,1]$. This generalizes the…

In this paper we study Gaussian ring $\Z[i]$ with a focus on representing Gaussian Mersenne primes $G_p$ in the form $x^2+7y^2$. Interestingly when such a form exists, one can observe that, $x\equiv \pm 1\pmod{8}$ and $y\equiv 0\pmod{8}$.…

We study variants of the Erd\H os distance problem and dot products problem in the setting of the integers modulo $q$, where $q = p^{\ell}$ is a power of an odd prime.

We present a general result of simultaneous approximation to several transcendental real, complex or p-adic numbers xi_1,...,xi_t by conjugate algebraic numbers of bounded degree over Q, provided that the given transcendental numbers…

Let $\mathbb{Q}(\alpha)$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\beta)$ be linearly disjoint number fields and let $\mathbb{Q}(\theta)$ be their compositum. We prove that the first-degree prime ideals of $\mathbb{Z}[\theta]$ may almost always be constructed in…

We provide a formula for the logarithmic density of the set of positive real numbers on which two prime counting functions $\psi(x;q,a)$ and $\psi(x;q,b)$ are simultaneously larger than their asymptotic main terms, as well as a method for…

Bertrand's Postulate states about the prime distribution for the real numbers. The generalization of Bertrand's Postulate was proved by Das et al. [Arxiv 2018]. In this paper, we have formalized this idea for the Gaussian primes (or the…
