Commutative complex numbers of the form u=x+\alpha y+\beta z+\gamma t in 4 dimensions are studied, the variables x, y, z and t being real numbers. Four distinct types of multiplication rules for the complex bases \alpha, \beta and \gamma…

For an infinite family of monogenic trinomials $P(X) = X^3\pm 3rbX-b$ in $\mathbb{Z}\lbrack X\rbrack$, arithmetical invariants of the cubic number field $L = \mathbb{Q}(\theta)$, generated by a zero $\theta$ of $P(X)$, and of its Galois…

For any separated algebraic space $X/S$ we construct a separated algebraic space $\Gamma^d(X/S)$ -- the space of divided powers -- which parameterizes zero cycles of degree $d$ on $X$. The space of divided powers for an affine scheme is…

In this paper we compute the sum of the $k$-th powers over any finite commutative unital rings, thus generalizing known results for finite fields, the rings of integers modulo $n$ or the ring of Gaussian integers modulo $n$. As an…

For irreducible integer polynomials $f(n)=n^d+c$ we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of $k$-th power free values taken by $f(n)$, for $n$ running up to $x$, subject to the condition $k\ge (5d+3)/9$. This improves earlier results…

This paper is devoted to the classification problem of tree-dimensional anti-commutative(zero-potent) algebras over any base field $\mathbb{F}$ such that $Char(\mathbb{F})\neq 2$ and every element admits a square root.

In this paper, we sharpen and simplify our earlier results based on Thue's Fundamentaltheorem and use it to obtain effective irrationality measures for certain roots of polynomials of the form $(x-\sqrt{t})^{n}+(x+\sqrt{t})^{n}$, where $n…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the Kummer extension $K:=\mathbb{Q}\left(\zeta_n,\sqrt[n]{\alpha}\right)$ to be monogenic over $\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_n)$ with $\sqrt[n]{\alpha}$ as a generator, i.e., for…

Let $a$ be an integer and $p$ a prime so that $f(x)=x^p-a$ is irreducible. Write $f^n(x)$ to indicate the $n$-fold composition of $f(x)$ with itself. We study the monogenicity of number fields defined by roots of $f^n(x)$ and give necessary…

Can any element in a sufficiently large finite field be represented as a sum of two $d$th powers in the field? In this article, we recount some of the history of this problem, touching on cyclotomy, Fermat's last theorem, and diagonal…

Given an arbitrary monic polynomial $f$ over a field $F$ of characteristic 0, we use companion matrices to construct a polynomial $M_f\in F[X]$ of minimum degree such that for each root $\alpha$ of $f$ in the algebraic closure of $F$,…

We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for a quadratic polynomial to be irreducible in the ring $Z[[x]]$ of formal power series with integer coefficients. For $n,m\ge 1$ and $p$ prime, we show that $p^n+p^m\beta x+\alpha x^2$ is…

For a prime $p$, the OM algorithm finds the $p$-adic factorization of an irreducible polynomial $f\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$ in polynomial time. This may be applied to construct $p$-integral bases in the number field $K$ defined by $f$. In this…

By some extremely simple arguments, we point out the following: (i) If n is the least positive k-th power non-residue modulo a positive integer m, then the greatest number of consecutive k-th power residues mod m is smaller than m/n. (ii)…

We consider partial torsion fields (fields generated by a root of a division polynomial) for elliptic curves. By analysing the reduction properties of elliptic curves, and applying the Montes Algorithm, we obtain information about the ring…

Let $m$ be a square-free integer ($m\neq 0,\pm 1$). We show that the structure of the integral bases of the fields $K=Q(\sqrt[n]{m})$ are periodic in $m$. For $3\leq n\leq 9$ we show that the period length is $n^2$. We explicitly describe…

Using the cyclotomic identity we compute sums over d-tuples of monic polynomials in F_q[x] weighted by the multiplicity of their irreducible factors. As consequences we determine explicit expressions for the number of d-tuples of…

We determine the roots in F_{q^3} of the polynomial X^{2q^k+1} + X + c for each positive integer k and each c in F_q, where q is a power of 2. We introduce a new approach for this type of question, and we obtain results which are more…

We consider the set of the power non-negative polynomials of several variables and its subset that consists of polynomials which can be represented as a sum of squares. It is shown in the classic work by D.Hilbert that it is a proper…

We determine the border rank of each power of any quadratic form in three variables. Since the problem for rank $1$ and rank $2$ quadratic forms can be reduced to determining the rank of powers of binary forms, we primarily focus on…
