Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a finite subset of $\mathbb{N}$ including $0$ and $f_\mathcal{A}(n)$ be the number of ways to write $n=\sum_{i=0}^{\infty}\epsilon_i2^i$, where $\epsilon_i\in\mathcal{A}$. We consider asymptotics of the summatory…

We study the average number of representations of an integer $n$ as $n = \phi(n_{1}) + \dots + \phi(n_{j})$, for polynomials $\phi \in \mathbb{Z}[n]$ with $\partial\phi = k\ge 1$, $\operatorname{lead}(\phi) = 1$, $j \ge k$, where $n_{i}$ is…

Let $F$ be a binary form with integer coefficients, non-zero discriminant and degree $d$ with $d$ at least $3$ and let $r$ denote the largest degree of an irreducible factor of $F$ over the rationals. Let $k$ be an integer with $k \geq 2$…

We show that the equation in the title (with $\Phi_m$ the $m$th cyclotomic polynomial) has no integer solution with $n\ge 1$ in the cases $(m,p)=(15,41), (15,5581),(10,271)$. These equations arise in a recent group theoretical investigation…

In this paper, we prove that a binary definite quadratic form over F_q[t], where q is odd, is completely determined up to equivalence by the polynomials it represents up to degree 3m-2, where m is the degree of its discriminant. We also…

Let $\psi$ and $F$ be positive definite forms with integral coefficients of equal degree. Using the circle method, we establish an asymptotic formula for the number of identical representations of $\psi$ by $F$, provided $\psi$ is…

For $m\geq 1$, let $0<b_0<b_1<...<b_m$ and $\ e_0,e_1,...,e_m>0$ be fixed positive integers. Assume there exists a prime $p$ and an integer $t>0$ such that $p^t\mid b_0$, but $p^t\nmid b_{i}\ {\rm for}\ 1\leq i\leq m$. Then, we prove that…

We establish some upper bounds for the number of integer solutions to the Thue inequality $|F(x , y)| \leq m$, where $F$ is a binary form of degree $n \geq 3$ and with non-zero discriminant $D$, and $m$ is an integer. Our upper bounds are…

An integer $n$ is said to be ternary if it is composed of three distinct odd primes. In this paper, we asymptotically count the number of ternary integers $n \leq x$ with the constituent primes satisfying various constraints. We apply our…

Given a negative $D>-(\log X)^{\log 2-\delta}$, we give a new upper bound on the number of square free integers $<X$ which are represented by some but not all forms of the genus of a primitive positive definite binary quadratic form $f$ of…

We will give new upper bounds for the number of solutions to the inequalities of the shape $|F(x , y)| \leq h$, where $F(x , y)$ is a sparse binary form, with integer coefficients, and $h$ is a sufficiently small integer in terms of the…

We study a refined version of the Linnik problem on the asymptotic behavior of the number of representations of integer $m$ by an integral polynomial as $m$ tends to infinity. We assume that the polynomial arises from invariant theory, and…

Let $F\in\mathbb{Z}[x,y]$ and $m\ge2$ be an integer. A set $A\subset \mathbb{Z}$ is called an $(F,m)$-Diophantine set if $F(a,b)$ is a perfect $m$-power for any $a,b\in A$ where $a\ne b$. If $F$ is a bivariate polynomial for which there…

The weighted binomial sum $f_m(r)=2^{-r}\sum_{i=0}^r\binom{m}{i}$ arises in coding theory and information theory. We prove that,for $m\not \in\{0,3,6,9,12\}$, the maximum value of $f_m(r)$ with $0\leqslant r\leqslant m$ occurs when…

Given any positive integer $n,$ let $A(n)$ denote the height of the $n^{\text{th}}$ cyclotomic polynomial, that is its maximum coefficient in absolute value. It is well known that $A(n)$ is unbounded. We conjecture that every natural number…

In this paper, for n a positve integer, we compute the number of n degree representations for a dihedral group G of order 2m, m \geq 3 and the dimensions of the corresponding spaces of G invariant bilinear forms over a complex field C. We…

It is proved that all sufficiently large integers $n$ can be represented as $$n=x_1^2+x_2^3+\cdots+x_{13}^{14},$$ where $x_1,\ldots,x_{13}$ are positive integers. This improves upon the current record with $14$ variables in place of $13$.

In this note we show that for a given irreducible binary quadratic form $f(x,y)$ with integer coefficients, whenever we have $f(x,y) = f(u,v)$ for integers $x,y,u,v$, there exists a rational automorphism of $f$ which sends $(x,y)$ to…

Every quadratic form represents 0; therefore, if we take any number of quadratic forms and ask which integers are simultaneously represented by all members of the collection, we are guaranteed a nonempty set. But when is that set more than…

Let $s \geq 3$ be a fixed positive integer and $a_1,\dots,a_s \in \mathbb{Z}$ be arbitrary. We show that, on average over $k$, the density of numbers represented by the degree $k$ diagonal form \[ a_1 x_1^k + \cdots + a_s x_s^k \] decays…
