Fermat's Last theorem (FLT) famously states that the equation $x^n+y^n=z^n$ has no solution in positive integers $x, y, z$ for any integer exponent $n>2$. But does this theorem have a quantitative version? Upon initial investigation we…

We obtain new upper and lower bounds on the number of unit perimeter triangles spanned by points in the plane. We also establish improved bounds in the special case where the point set is a section of the integer grid.

This paper studies the polynomial optimization problem whose feasible set is a union of several basic closed semialgebraic sets. We propose a unified hierarchy of Moment-SOS relaxations to solve it globally. Under some assumptions, we prove…

Using the fixed point alternative theorem we establish the orthogonal stability of quadratic functional equation of Pexider type $f(x+y)+g(x-y)=h(x)+k(y)$, where $f, g, h, k$ are mappings from a symmetric orthogonality space to a Banach…

For $\gamma>0$, we are interested in blow up solutions $u\in C^+(B)$ of the fractional problem in the unit ball $B$ \begin{equation}\label{2nov} \left\{\begin{array} {rcll} \Delta^{\frac{\alpha}{2}} u &=& u^\gamma&\ \text{in }B\\ u &=& 0&\…

We present a new structural (or syntatic) approach for estimating the satisfiability threshold of random 3-SAT formulae. We show its efficiency in obtaining a jump from the previous upper bounds, lowering them to 4.506. The method combines…

We obtain new bounds on some trilinear and quadrilinear character sums, which are non-trivial starting from very short ranges of the variables. An application to an apparently new problem on oscillations of characters on differences between…

In this paper we obtain bounds for integer solutions of quadratic polynomials in two variables that represent a natural number. Also we get some results on twin prime numbers. In addition, we use linear functionals to prove some results of…

Let $M$ be a set. A set-theoretical solution of the pentagon equation on $M$ is a map $s:M\times M\longrightarrow M\times M$ such that \begin{equation*} s_{23}\, s_{13}\, s_{12}=s_{12}\, s_{23}, \end{equation*} where $s_{12}=s\times id_M$,…

We investigate the hypersurfaces which are the generation of the Fermat hypersufaces, and determine their projective isomorphism classes.

We explicitly compute \'etale covers of the smooth Fermat curves $Y_{p+1} = \Proj k[u,v,w]/(u^{p+1} + v^{p+1} - w^{p+1})$ which trivialise the vector bundles $\Syz(u^2, v^2, w^2)(3)$, where $k$ is a field of characteristic $p \geq 3$.

In this paper we present a new bound obtained with the probabilistic method for the solution of the Set Covering problem with unit costs. The bound is valid for problems of fixed dimension, thus extending previous similar asymptotic…

We obtain sharp mixed norm Strichartz estimates associated to mixed homogeneous surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$. Both cases with and without a damping factor are considered. In the case when a damping factor is considered our results yield a…

The arithmetic of ternary diagonal equation is considered for degree d >1, with the outcome that the set of coefficients for which the equation admits a non-zero integer solution is shown to have density zero.

For the equations of the form $y''=P(x,y)+3 Q(x,y) y'+3 R(x,y) {y'}^2 +S(x,y) {y'}^3$ the problem of equivalence in the class of point transformations is considered. Effective procedure for determining the class of point equivalence for the…

We study the Fano surface S of the Fermat cubic threefold. We prove that S is a degree 81 abelian cover of the degree 5 del Pezzo surface and that the complement of the union of 12 disjoint elliptic curves on S is a ball quotient. The…

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 derive an upper bound on the number of models for exact satisfiability (XSAT) of arbitrary CNF formulas F. The bound can be calculated solely from the distribution of positive and negated literals in the formula. For certain subsets of…

Let $\mathbb{Z}_n$ be the ring of residue classes modulo $n$, and let $\mathbb{Z}_n^{\ast}$ be the group of its units. 90 years ago, Brauer obtained a formula for the number of representations of $c\in \mathbb{Z}_n$ as the sum of $k$ units.…
