Let $k \geq 2$, $q$ be an odd prime power, and $F \in \mathbb{F}_q[x_1, \ldots, x_k]$ be a polynomial. An $F$-Diophantine set over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ is a set $A \subset \mathbb{F}_q^*$ such that $F(a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_k)$ is a…

We consider Diophantine inequalities of the kind |f(x)| \le m, where F(X) \in Z[X] is a homogeneous polynomial which can be expressed as a product of d homogeneous linear forms in n variables with complex coefficients and m\ge 1. We say…

We consider Diophantine equations of the kind $|F(x,y)|= m$, where $F(X,Y )\in \bz [X,Y]$ is a homogeneous polynomial of degree $d\ge 3$ that has non-zero discriminant and $m$ is a positive integer. We prove results that simplify those of…

Given a finite set of primes $S$ and a $m$-tuple $(a_1,\dots,a_m)$ of positive, distinct integers we call the $m$-tuple $S$-Diophantine, if for each $1\leq i < j\leq m$ the quantity $a_ia_j+1$ has prime divisors coming only from the set…

Let E_n={x_i=1, x_i+x_j=x_k, x_i \cdot x_j=x_k: i,j,k \in {1,...,n}}. If Matiyasevich's conjecture on finite-fold Diophantine representations is true, then for every computable function f:N->N there is a positive integer m(f) such that for…

A set $A$ is dually Dedekind finite if every surjection from $A$ onto $A$ is injective; otherwise, $A$ is dually Dedekind infinite. An amorphous set is an infinite set that cannot be partitioned into two infinite subsets. A strictly…

Most results on the value sets $V_f$ of polynomials $f \in \mathbb{F}_q[x]$ relate the cardinality $|V_f|$ to the degree of $f$. In particular, the structure of the spectrum of the class of polynomials of a fixed degree $d$ is rather well…

In this paper, we define a $k$-Diophantine $m$-tuple to be a set of $m$ positive integers such that the product of any $k$ distinct positive integers is one less than a perfect square. We study these sets in finite fields $\mathbb{F}_p$ for…

We study Diophantine equations of type $f(x)=g(y)$, where $f$ and $g$ are lacunary polynomials. According to a well known finiteness criterion, for a number field $K$ and nonconstant $f, g\in K[x]$, the equation $f(x)=g(y)$ has infinitely…

A semiprime is a natural number which is the product of two (not necessarily distinct) prime numbers. Let $F(x_1, \ldots, x_n)$ be a degree $d$ homogeneous form with integer coefficients. We provide sufficient conditions, similar to those…

Let us denote by $F_n$ the $n$-th Fibonacci number. In this paper we show that for a fixed integer $y$ there exists at most one integer exponent $a>0$ such that the Diophantine equation $F_n+F_m=y^a$ has a solution $(n,m,a)$ in positive…

We provide an explicit infinite family of integers $m$ such that all the polynomials of ${\mathbb F}_{2^n}[x]$ of degree $m$ have maximal differential uniformity for $n$ large enough. We also prove a conjecture of the third author in these…

Let $(a_1,\dots, a_m)$ be an $m$-tuple of positive, pairwise distinct, integers. If for all $1\leq i< j \leq m$ the prime divisors of $a_ia_j+1$ come from the same fixed set $S$, then we call the $m$-tuple $S$-Diophantine. In this note we…

In this note, we prove that if $A$ is a finite set of real numbers such that $|AA| = K|A|$, then for every polynomial $f \in \mathbb{R}[x,y]$ we have that $|f(A,A)| = \Omega_{K,\operatorname{deg} f}(|A|^2)$, unless $f$ is of the form…

Consider real bivariate polynomials f and g, respectively having 3 and m monomial terms. We prove that for all m>=3, there are systems of the form (f,g) having exactly 2m-1 roots in the positive quadrant. Even examples with m=4 having 7…

Consider an absolutely irreducible polynomial $F(Y,X_1,\ldots,X_n) \in \mathbb{Z}[Y,X_1,\ldots,X_n]$ that is monic in $Y$ and is a polynomial in $Y^m$ for an integer $m \geq 1$. Let $N(F,B)$ count the number of $\mathbf{x} \in [-B,B]^n \cap…

We consider Diophantine equations of the shape $ f(x) = g(y) $, where the polynomials $ f $ and $ g $ are elements of power sums. Using a finiteness criterion of Bilu and Tichy, we will prove that under suitable assumptions infinitely many…

A square-free monomial ideal $I$ is called an {\it $f$-ideal}, if both $\delta_{\mathcal{F}}(I)$ and $\delta_{\mathcal{N}}(I)$ have the same $f$-vector, where $\delta_{\mathcal{F}}(I)$ ($\delta_{\mathcal{N}}(I)$, respectively) is the facet…
