This note describes a conjecture involving cyclotomic polynomials and some initial thoughts towards a solution. Given positive integers $m,n$, the conjecture is that either $\Phi_m(q)\leqslant\Phi_n(q)$ or $\Phi_m(q)\geqslant\Phi_n(q)$…

Let $f$ be a primitive positive definite integral binary quadratic form of discriminant $-D$ and let $\pi_f(x)$ be the number of primes up to $x$ which are represented by $f$. We prove several types of upper bounds for $\pi_f(x)$ within a…

Cyclotomic coset is a classical notion in the theory of finite field which has wide applications in various computation problems. Let $q$ be a prime power, and $n$ be a positive integer coprime to $q$. In this paper we determine explicitly…

For any given positive definite binary quadratic form $Q$ with integer coefficients, we establish two results on Diophantine approximation with integers represented by $Q$. Firstly, we show that for every irrational number $\alpha$, there…

For two sets $A$ and $M$ of positive integers and for a positive integer $n$, let $p(n,A,M)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$ with parts in $A$ and multiplicities in $M$, that is, the number of representations of $n$ in the form…

Le n be any positive integer. A hyperbinary expansion of n is are presentation of n as sum of powers of 2, each power being used at most twice. In this paper we study some properties of a suitable edge-coloured and vertex-weighted oriented…

The binary signed-digit representation of integers is used for efficient computation in various settings. The Stern polynomial is a polynomial extension of the well-studied Stern diatomic sequence, and has itself has been investigated in…

In this paper, we give an explicit expression for a certain family of ternary cyclotomic polynomials: specifically $\Phi_{p_{1}p_{2}p_{3}}$, where $p_{1}<p_{2}<p_{3}$ are odd primes such that $p_{2} \equiv1 \mod p_{1}$ and $p_{3} \equiv1…

Erd\"os and Obl\'ath proved that the equation $n!\pm m!=x^p$ has only finitely many integer solutions. More general, under the ABC-conjecture, Luca showed that $P(x)=An!+Bm!$ has finitely many integer solutions for polynomials of degree…

Using modular forms we determine formulas for the number of representations of a positive integer by diagonal octonary quadratic forms with coefficients $1$, $2$, $3$ or $6$.

We define the finite number ring ${\Bbb Z}_n [\sqrt [m] r]$ where $m,n$ are positive integers and $r$ in an integer akin to the definition of the Gaussian integer ${\Bbb Z}[i]$. This idea is also introduced briefly in [7]. By definition,…

We compute the twisted cohomology of the mapping class group with level structures, with coefficients in the $r$-tensor powers of the Prym representations for any positive integer $r$. When $r\ge 2$, we show that the cohomology exhibits…

In this article, we study the representability of integers as sums of pentagonal numbers, where a pentagonal number is an integer of the form $P_5(x)=\frac{3x^2-x}{2}$ for some non-negative integer $x$. In particular, we prove the…

Let $a,b,c$ be positive integers. It is known that there are infinitely many positive integers not representated by $ax^2+by^2+cz^2$ with $x,y,z\in\mathbb Z$. In contrast, we conjecture that any natural number is represented by $\lfloor…

A numerical semigroup is called cyclotomic if its corresponding numerical semigroup polynomial $P_S(x)=(1-x)\sum_{s\in S}x^s$ is expressable as the product of cyclotomic polynomials. Ciolan, Garc\'ia-S\'anchez, and Moree conjectured that…

The inverse problem for representation functions takes as input a triple (X,f,L), where X is a countable semigroup, f : X --> N_0 \cup {\infty} a function, L : a_1 x_1 + ... + a_h x_h an X-linear form and asks for a subset A \subseteq X…

We show that the pattern $\{x,x+y,xy\}$ is partition regular over the space of formal integer polynomials of degree at least one with zero constant term, with primitive recursive bounds. This provides a new proof for the partition…

Let $a_k(n)$ denotes the number of representations of a non-negative integer $n$ as sum of $k$ quadratic forms of the type $x^2+xy+y^2$ and $a_{\lambda_1,\lambda_2,\lambda_3\dots\lambda_k}(n)$ denotes the number of representations $n$ as a…

Let $2<n<m\leq \omega$. Let $\CA_n$ denote the class of cylindric algebras of dimension $n$ and $\RCA_n$ denote the class of representable $\CA_n$s. We say that $\A\in \RCA_n$ is representable up to $m$ if $\Cm\At\A$ has an $m$-square…

Let $a(n, k)$ be the $k$-th coefficient of the $n$-th cyclotomic polynomial. Recently, Ji, Li and Moree \cite{JLM09} proved that for any integer $m\ge1$, $\{a(mn, k)| n, k\in\mathbb{N}\}=\mathbb{Z}$. In this paper, we improve this result…
