We derive asymptotic estimates for the coefficient of $z^{k}$ in $\left( f\left( z\right) \right) ^{n}$ when $n\rightarrow \infty $ and $k$ is of order $n^{\delta }$, where $0<\delta <1,$ and $f\left( z\right) $ is a power series satisfying…

Let $f$ be a primitive positive definite integral binary quadratic form of discriminant $-D$ and let $\pi_f(x)$ be the number of primes up to $x$ which are represented by $f$. We prove several types of upper bounds for $\pi_f(x)$ within a…

Given a positive definite binary quadratic form f, let r(n) = |{(x,y): f(x,y)=n}| denote its representation function. In this paper we study linear correlations of these functions. For example, if r_1, ..., r_k are representation functions,…

We consider some families of binary binomial forms $aX^d+bY^d$, with $a$ and $b$ integers. Under suitable assumptions, we prove that every rational integer $m$ with $|m|\ge 2$ is only represented by a finite number of the forms of this…

The homogeneous form $\Phi_n(X,Y)$ of degree $\varphi(n)$ which is associated with the cyclotomic polynomial $\phi_n(X)$ is dubbed a {\it cyclotomic binary form}. A positive integer $m\ge 1$ is said to be {\it representable by a cyclotomic…

It is an open problem whether $ \binom{2n}{n} $ is divisible by 4 or 9 for all $n>256$. In connection with this, we prove that for a fixed uneven $m$ the asymptotic density of $k$'s such that $ m \nmid \binom{2^{k+1}}{2^{k}} $ is 0. To do…

Let $K$ be a number field, ${\mathcal O}_K$ its ring of integers, and $f(x, y) \in {\mathcal O}_K[x, y]$ a binary form with integer coefficents. For any given prime $p \in {\mathcal O}_K$ we determine explicitly a binary form $g$ (resp.…

We fix a maximal order $\mathcal O$ in $\F=\R,\C$ or $\mathbb{H}$, and an $\F$-hermitian form $Q$ of signature $(n,1)$ with coefficients in $\mathcal O$. Let $k\in\N$. By applying a lattice point theorem on the $\F$-hyperbolic space, we…

We prove that for any positive integer c there are at least N(c), $1\leq N(c) < \phi(c)/2$ representations of c as a sum of two positive integers a, b, with no common divisor, such that the N(c) radicals R(abc) are all greater than kc,…
