We use some elementary arguments to obtain a new bound on bilinear sums with weighted Kloosterman sums which complements those recently obtained by E. Kowalski, P. Michel and W. Sawin (2020).

We revisit a recent bound of I. Shparlinski and T. P. Zhang on bilinear forms with Kloosterman sums, and prove an extension for correlation sums of Kloosterman sums against Fourier coefficients of modular forms. We use these bounds to…

In this note, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for determining which integers can be written as a sum of two integral squares for certain quadratic fields by using the integral Brauer-manin obstruction (see \cite{CTX}). The…

Let $\mathcal{Q}$ be a quaternion division algebra over a field, and $n \geq 2$ be an integer. In a recent article, de La Cruz et al have proved that every $n$-by-$n$ matrix with entries in $\mathcal{Q}$ and pure quaternionic trace is the…

We obtain closed-form expressions for all sums of the form \mbox{$\sum_{k = 1}^n {F_{mk}{}^4 }$} and \mbox{$\sum_{k = 1}^n {L_{mk}{}^4 }$} and their alternating versions, where $F_i$ and $L_i$ denote Fibonacci and Lucas numbers…

In this paper, we prove a conjecture of Chan and Chua for the number of representations of integers as sums of 8s integral squares. The proof uses a theorem of Imamo\={g}lu and Kohnen, and the double shuffle relations satisfied by the…

In this paper we study quadratic forms which are universal when restricted to almost prime inputs, establishing finiteness theorems akin to the Conway--Schneeberger 15 theorem.

Recently the author used certain quaternion orders to demonstrate the universality of some quaternary quadratic forms. Here a further study is done on one of these orders analogous to Hurwitz's proof of the formula for the number of…

In this paper we give unified formulas for the numbers of representations of positive integers as sums of four generalized $m$-gonal numbers, and as restricted sums of four squares under a linear condition, respectively. These formulas are…

We present a new single sum series evaluation of Moll's quartic integral and present two new generalizations

We know that any prime number of form $4s+1$ can be written as a sum of two perfect square numbers. As a consequence of Goldbach's weak conjecture, any number great than $10$ can be represented as a sum of four primes. We are motivated to…

We consider the problem of finding 4 rational squares, such that the product of any two plus the sum of the same two always gives a square. We give some historical background and exhibit one such quadruple.

We clarify the relationship between different multiple polylogarithms in weight~4 by writing suitable linear combinations of a given type of iterated integral I_{n_1,...,n_d}(z_1,...,z_d), in depth d>1 and weight \sum_i n_i=4 in terms of…

In this paper, we consider sums of four generalized polygonal numbers whose parameters are restricted to integers with a bounded number of prime divisors. With some restriction on m modulo 30, we show that for n sufficiently large, it can…

We show that every sufficiently large integer is a sum of a prime and two almost prime squares, and also a sum of a smooth number and two almost prime squares. The number of such representations is of the expected order of magnitude. We…

Recently there has been a large number of works on bilinear sums with Kloosterman sums and on sums of Kloosterman sums twisted by arithmetic functions. Motivated by these, we consider several related new questions about sums of Kloosterman…

We obtain a new bound in the uniform version of the Glasner property for matrices with polynomial entries, improving that of K. Bulinski and A. Fish (2021). This improvement is based on a more careful examination of complete rational…

We introduce the quaternionic Mahler measure for non-commutative polynomials, extending the classical complex Mahler measure. We establish the existence of quaternionic Mahler measure for slice regular polynomials in one and two variables.…

We establish a new simple explicit description of combinatorial wall-crossing for the rational Cherednik algebra applied to the trivial representation. In this way we recover a theorem of P. Dimakis and G. Yue. We also present two…

We establish a lower bound for the frequency with which an irreducible monic cubic polynomial with negative discriminant can be expressed as a sum of two squares ($\square_{2}$). This provides a quantitative answer to a question posed by…
