Let $S$ be a set of primes. We call an $m$-tuple $(a_1,\ldots,a_m)$ of distinct, positive integers $S$-Diophantine, if for all $i\neq j$ the integers $s_{i,j}:=a_ia_j+1$ have only prime divisors coming from the set $S$, i.e. if all…

Let $S$ denote a set of primes and let $a_1,\ldots,a_m$ be positive distinct integers. We call the $m$-tuple $(a_1,\ldots,a_m)$ an $S$-Diophantine tuple if $a_ia_j+1=s_{i,j}$ are $S$-integers for all $i\not=j$. In this paper, we show that…

We consider Diophantine quintuples $\{a, b, c, d, e\}$. These are sets of distinct positive integers, the product of any two elements of which is one less than a perfect square. It is conjectured that there are no Diophantine quintuples; we…

Even though four theorems are actually proved in this paper, two are the main ones,Teorems 1 and 3. In Theorem 1 we show that if a and be are odd squarefree positive integers satisfying certain quadratic residue conditions; then there…

In this note, we give a new nonexistence result of ternary extremal self-dual codes.

For a nonzero rational number $q$, a rational $D(q)$-$n$-tuple is a set of $n$ distinct nonzero rationals $\{a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n\}$ such that $a_ia_j+q$ is a square for all $1 \leqslant i < j \leqslant n$. We investigate for which $q$…

A Diophantine $m$-tuple is a set of $m$ distinct integers such that the product of any two distinct elements plus one is a perfect square. It was recently proven that there is no Diophantine quintuple in positive integers. We study the same…

Translated from the Latin original, "Observationes circa bina biquadrata quorum summam in duo alia biquadrata resolvere liceat" (1772). E428 in the Enestroem index. This paper is about finding A,B,C,D such that $A^4+B^4=C^4+D^4$. In sect.…

Canonical analysis of a recently proposed [1] linear+quadratic curvature gravity model in D=3 displays its pure fourth derivative quadratic branch as a ghost-free (massless) excitation. Hence it both negates an old no-go theorem and is…

For a rational number $q$, a rational $D(q)$-$n$-tuple is a set of $n$ distinct nonzero rationals $\{a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n\}$ such that $a_ia_j+q$ is a rational square for all $1 \leqslant i < j \leqslant n$. For every $q$ we find all…

I discuss two novel results in D=11 Supergravity. The first establishes, in two complementary ways, a no-go theorem that, in contrast to all D<11, a cosmological extension of the theory does not exist. The second deals with the structure of…

Let $d\equiv 2\pmod 4$ be a square-free integer such that $x^2 - dy^2 =- 1$ and $x^2 - dy^2 = 6$ are solvable in integers. We prove the existence of infinitely many quadruples in $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{d}]$ with the property $D(n)$ when $n \in…

In this paper, we give an upper bound on the number of extensions of a triple to a quadruple for the Diophantine $m$-tuples with the property $D(4)$. We also confirm the conjecture of the uniqueness of such an extension in some special…

A set of $m$ distinct nonzero rationals $\{a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_m\}$ such that $a_ia_j+1$ is a perfect square for all $1\leq i<j\leq m$, is called a rational Diophantine $m$-tuple. It is proved recently that there are infinitely many rational…

In 2016, Jang and Kim stated a conjecture about the norms of indecomposable integers in real quadratic number fields $\mathbb{Q} \left( \sqrt{D} \right)$ where $D>1$ is a squarefree integer. Their conjecture was later disproved by Kala for…

In this paper we completely classify infinite cyclic projective skew translation quadrangles through a new approach first partially introduced in [17], and in the present paper (unexpectedly) adapted to the infinite case. Very surprisingly,…

A rational Diophantine m-tuple is a set of m nonzero rationals such that the product of any two of them increased by 1 is a perfect square. The first rational Diophantine quadruple was found by Diophantus, while Euler proved that there are…

We prove explicit asymptotic formulae for some functions used in sieve methods and show that there exists no odd multiperfect number of abundancy four whose squared part is cubefree.

We compute the coefficient of the potential three-loop divergence in pure N=4 supergravity and show that it vanishes, contrary to expectations from symmetry arguments. The recently uncovered duality between color and kinematics is used to…
