A result of the second-named author states that there are only finitely many CM-elliptic curves over $\mathbb{C}$ whose $j$-invariant is an algebraic unit. His proof depends on Duke's Equidistribution Theorem and is hence non-effective. In…

Let $F(x, y)$ be a binary form with integer coefficients, degree $n\geq 3$ and irreducible over the rationals. Suppose that only $s + 1$ of the $n + 1$ coefficients of $F$ are nonzero. We show that the Thue inequality $|F(x,y)|\leq m$ has…

We consider a finite dimensional strongly $G$-graded algebra $A$ with { self-injective} $1$-component $B$, and in our main result we prove that the induction from $B$ to $A$ of a basic support $\tau$-tilting pair of $B$-modules is a support…

Let $a, b, c,$ and $n$ be integers, with $a$ nonzero and $n$ at least two. Necessary and sufficient conditions on these parameters are derived which guarantee that all solutions of the congruence \[ ax^2+bx+c \equiv 0\ \textrm{mod}\ n \]…

Let $q$ be a Pisot or Salem number. Let $f_j(x)$ $(j=1,2,\dots)$ be integer-valued polynomials of degree $\ge2$ with positive leading coefficients, and let $\{a_j (n)\}_{n\ge1}$ $(j=1,2,\dots)$ be sequences of algebraic integers in the…

In this paper, we give a full classification of the unitary dual of $G = U(n,2)$ for $n \geq 3$. As a consequence, we determine which of these representations are weakly fair $A_{\mathfrak{q}}(\lambda)$-modules or special unipotent…

We prove the density of the sets of the form ${{\lambda}_1^m {\mu}_1^n {\xi}_1 +...+{\lambda}_k^m {\mu}_k^n {\xi}_k : m,n \in \mathbb N}$ modulo one, where $\lambda_i$ and $\mu_i$ are multiplicatively independent algebraic numbers…

Let $a \in \mathbb{Z}_{>0}$ and $\epsilon_1, \epsilon_2, \epsilon_3 \in \{\pm 1\}$. We classify explicitly all singular moduli $x_1, x_2, x_3$ satisfying either $\epsilon_1 x_1^a + \epsilon_2 x_2^a + \epsilon_3 x_3^a \in \mathbb{Q}$ or…

Let $K$ be a number field of degree $d\geq 3$ and fix $s$ multiplicatively independent algebraic integers $\gamma_1, \dots, \gamma_s \in K^*$ that fulfil some technical requirements, which can be vastly simplified to $\mathbb{Q}$-linearly…

In this note, we shall give an improved lower bound for the argument of a power of a given algebraic number which has absolute value one but is not a root of unity.

Let $q$ be a positive integer. Recently, Niu and Liu proved that if $n\ge \max\{q,1198-q\}$, then the product $(1^3+q^3)(2^3+q^3)\cdots (n^3+q^3)$ is not a powerful number. In this note, we prove that (i) for any odd prime power $\ell$ and…

For any positive integer $q$, it is a question of Baker whether the numbers $L(1, \chi)$, where $\chi$ runs over the non-trivial characters mod $q$, are linearly independent over $\mathbb{Q}$. The question is answered in affirmative for…

The Riccati equations reducible to first-order linear equations by an appropriate change the dependent variable are singled out. All these equations are integrable by quadrature. A wide class of linear ordinary differential equations…

We generalize a number of works on the zeros of certain level 1 modular forms to a class of weakly holomorphic modular functions whose $q$-expansions satisfy \[ f_k(A, \tau) \colon = q^{-k}(1+a(1)q+a(2)q^2+...) + O(q),\] where $a(n)$ are…

Let $n>m>k$ be positive integers and let $a,b,c$ be nonzero rational numbers. We consider the reducibility of some special quadrinomials $x^n+ax^m+bx^k+c$ with $n=4$ and 5, which related to the study of rational points on certain elliptic…

In this paper, we give some counting results on integer polynomials of fixed degree and bounded height whose distinct non-zero roots are multiplicatively dependent. These include sharp lower bounds, upper bounds and asymptotic formulas for…

Given a properly normalized parametrization of a genus-0 modular curve, the complex multiplication points map to algebraic numbers called singular moduli. In the classical case, the maps can be given analytically. However, in the Shimura…

An isolated point on an algebraic curve is a closed point not belonging to a collection of points of the same degree parametrized by $\mathbf{P}^1$ or a positive rank abelian subvariety of the curve's Jacobian. We study the sets of…

We evaluate the number of monic polynomials (of arbitrary degree $N$) the zeros of which equal their coefficients when these are allowed to take arbitrary complex values. In the following, we call polynomials with this property {\em…

We consider a conjectured topological inequality for the number of equisingular moduli of a rational surface singularity, and prove it in some natural special cases. When the resolution dual graph is "sufficiently negative" (in a precise…
