We study the discriminants of the minimal polynomials $\mathcal{P}_n$ of the Ramanujan $t_n$ class invariants, which are defined for positive integers $n\equiv11\pmod{24}$. The historical precedent for doing so comes from Gross and Zagier,…

Let $n$ be an even positive integer with at most three distinct prime factors and let $\ze_n$ be a primitive $n$-th root of unity. In this study, we made an attempt to find the lowest-degree $0,1$-polynomial $f(x) \in \Q[x]$ having at least…

For n=1,2,3,... define S(n) as the smallest integer m>1 such that those 2k(k-1) mod m for k=1,...,n are pairwise distinct; we show that S(n) is the least prime greater than 2n-2 and hence the value set of the function S(n) is exactly the…
