We prove a local-global principle for primitive representations of binary quadratic forms by quaternary quadratic forms. Our method is a variant of Linnik's ergodic method showing density for certain homogenous toral sets. The central…
Let $P_{r}$ denote an integer with at most $r$ prime factors counted with multiplicity. In this paper we prove that for some $\lambda < \frac{1}{12}$, the inequality $\{\sqrt{p}\}<p^{-\lambda}$ has infinitely many solutions in primes $p$…
We give a deterministic algorithm that very quickly proves the primality or compositeness of the integers N in a certain sequence, using an elliptic curve E/Q with complex multiplication by the ring of integers of Q(sqrt(-7)). The algorithm…
We investigate the moment and the distribution of $L(1,\x_P),$ where $\x_P$ varies over quadratic characters associated to irreducible polynomials $P$ of degree $2g+1$ over $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ as $g\to\infty$. In the first part of the paper…
For a prime power $q$, we study the distribution of determinent of matrices with restricted entries over a finite field $\mathbbm{F}_q$ of $q$ elements. More precisely, let $N_d (\mathcal{A}; t)$ be the number of $d \times d$ matrices with…
We consider determinantal ideals, where the generating minors are encoded in a hypergraph. We study when the generating minors form a Gr\"obner basis. In this case, the ideal is radical, and we can describe algebraic and numerical…
We study a multiplicative function analogue of Linnik's problem on the least prime in an arithmetic progression. Let $h\colon \mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{R}\setminus\{0\}$ be a multiplicative function, and let $a \pmod q$ be a reduced residue…
Let $\pi$ be a set of primes such that $|\pi|\geqslant 2$ and $\pi$ differs from the set of all primes. Denote by $r$ the smallest prime which does not belong to $\pi$ and set $m=r$ if $r=2,3$ and $m=r-1$ if $r\geqslant 5$. We study the…
In this paper we use the theory of modular forms to find formulas for the number of representations of a positive integer by certain class of quadratic forms in eight variables, viz., forms of the form $a_1x_1^2 + a_2 x_2^2 + a_3 x_3^2 +…
We study the equidistribution of multiplicatively defined sets, such as the squarefree integers, quadratic non-residues or primitive roots, in sets which are described in an additive way, such as sumsets or Hilbert cubes. In particular, we…
Ideal class pairings map the rational points of rank $r\geq 1$ elliptic curves $E/\Q$ to the ideal class groups $\CL(-D)$ of certain imaginary quadratic fields. These pairings imply that $$h(-D) \geq \frac{1}{2}(c(E)-\varepsilon)(\log…
We consider the representation of primes as a sum of a prime and twice a triangular number. We prove that a subset of the primes having density 1 is expressible in this form. We conjecture that every odd prime number is expressible as a sum…
Let $f(x_1,\ldots,x_s)$ be a translation invariant indefinite quadratic form of integer coefficients with $s\ge 10$. Let $\mathcal{A}\subseteq \mathcal{P}\cap \{1,2,\ldots,X\}$. Let $X$ be sufficiently large. Subject to a rank condition, we…
If $D$ is the definite quaternion algebra over $\qu$ of discriminant $p$, we compute, for any prime $p>3$, the number of infinite dimensional cusp forms on $D^*$ which are trivial at infinity, tamely ramified at $p$, and have given…
In a previous paper, the authors proved that in any system of three linear forms satisfying obvious necessary local conditions, there are at least two forms that infinitely often assume $E_2$-values; i.e., values that are products of…
We prove that the number of quartic $S_4$--extensions of the rationals of given discriminant $d$ is $O_\eps(d^{1/2+\eps})$ for all $\eps>0$. For a prime number $p$ we derive that the dimension of the space of octahedral modular forms of…
Let $R_{m, \mathrm{sq-full}}(N)$ be a representation function for the sum of a prime and a square-full number. In this article, we prove an asymptotic formula for the sum of $R_{m, \mathrm{sq-full}}(N)$ over positive integers $N$ in a short…
We prove that the set of normalized differences between primes, defined as $S = \{(p-q)/(p+q) : p > q \text{ are primes}\}$, is dense in the open unit interval $(0,1)$. Our proof provides an explicit construction algorithm with quantitative…
We classify the discriminantly separable polynomials of degree two in each of three variables, defined by a property that all the discriminants as polynomials of two variables are factorized as products of two polynomials of one variable…
We estimate the number of principal ideals $ I $ of norm $ \mathrm{N}(I) \leq x $ in the family of the simplest cubic fields. The advantage of our result is that it provides the correct order of magnitude for arbitrary $ x \geq 1 $, even…
