We prove that if $f$ is a polynomial over a number field $K$ with a finite superattracting periodic point and a non-archimedean place of bad reduction, then there is an $\epsilon>0$ such that only finitely many $P\in K^{\text{ab}}$ have…
We shall given a new effectively computable upper bound of odd perfect numbers whose Euler factors are powers of fixed exponent, improving our old result in T. Yamada, Colloq. Math. 103 (2005), 303--307.
We derive a priori bounds for positive supersolutions of $ - \Delta_{p} u = \rho(x) f(u) $, where $p>1$ and $\Delta_{p}$ is the $p$-Laplace operator, in a smooth bounded domain of $R^{N}$ with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions. We apply…
In this paper we give a conditional improvement to the Elekes-Szab\'{o} problem over the rationals, assuming the Uniformity Conjecture. Our main result states that for $F\in \mathbb{Q}[x,y,z]$ belonging to a particular family of…
We prove that all positive solutions of $-\Delta u = u^{\frac{2n}{n-2}}$ on the upper half space $\mathbb{R}^n_{+}$ (for $n \geq 3$) satisfying the boundary condition $D_{x_n}u = -u^{\frac{n}{n-2}}$ are of the form $u(x) = a \left(…
Given a prime $p>3$, we characterize positive-definite integral quadratic forms that are coprime-universal for $p$, i.e. representing all positive integers coprime to $p$. This generalizes the $290$-Theorem by Bhargava and Hanke and extends…
We consider the problem of classifying all positive-definite integer-valued quadratic forms that represent all positive odd integers. Kaplansky considered this problem for ternary forms, giving a list of 23 candidates, and proving that 19…
In this paper we consider positive supersolutions of the nonlinear elliptic equation \[- \Delta u = \rho(x) f(u)|\nabla u|^p, \qquad \hfill \mbox{ in } \Omega,\] where $0\le p<1$, $ \Omega$ is an arbitrary domain (bounded or unbounded) in $…
From known effective bounds on the prime counting function of the form \[ |\pi(x)-\mathrm{Li}(x)| < a \;x \;(\ln x)^{b} \; \exp\left(-{c}\; \sqrt{\ln x}\right); \qquad (x \geq x_0); \] it is possible to establish exponentially tight…
We derive tight expressions for the maximum number of $k$-faces, $0\le{}k\le{}d-1$, of the Minkowski sum, $P_1+...+P_r$, of $r$ convex $d$-polytopes $P_1,...,P_r$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, where $d\ge{}2$ and $r<d$, as a (recursively defined)…
In 2018, Luca and Patel conjectured that the largest perfect power representable as the sum of two Fibonacci numbers is $3864^2 = F_{36} + F_{12}$. In other words, they conjectured that the equation…
In this article we establish sharp $C^{1,\alpha}$ estimates for weak solutions of singular and degenerate quasilinear elliptic equation $$-\,div\, a(x, \nabla u) = f,$$ which includes the standard $p$-laplacean equation with varying…
We consider the problem of uniqueness of positive solutions to boundary value problems containing the equation: -\Delta_p u =K(|x|)f(u), p>1. f is positive, is locally Lipschitz and satisfies some superlinear growth condition after u_0, a…
Let k be a an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic, and we let h be the usual Weil height for the n-dimensional affine space corresponding to the function field k(t) (extended to its algebraic closure). We prove that for…
We study totally positive definite quadratic forms over the ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$ of a totally real biquadratic field $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{m}, \sqrt{s})$. We restrict our attention to classical forms (i.e., those with all…
Let $\alpha$ be a real number such that $1< \alpha <2$ and let $x_0=x_0(\alpha)$ be a {\rm(}unique{\rm)} positive solution of the equation $$ x^{\alpha-1} -\frac{\pi}{e^2\sqrt{3}}x +1=0. $$ Then we prove that for each positive integer…
Let $K$ be a totally real number field of degree $n$ over $\mathbb{Q}$, with discriminant and regulator $\Delta_K, R_K$ respectively. In this paper, using a similar method to van Woerden, we prove that the number of classes of perfect unary…

There exist homogeneous polynomials $f$ with $\mathbb Q$-coefficients that are sums of squares over $\mathbb R$ but not over $\mathbb Q$. The only systematic construction of such polynomials that is known so far uses as its key ingredient…
