Let A be a finite set of integers. For a polynomial f(x_1,...,x_n) with integer coefficients, let f(A) = {f(a_1,...,a_n) : a_1,...,a_n \in A}. In this paper it is proved that for every pair of normalized binary linear forms f(x,y)=u_1x+v_1y…

We describe a satisfactory theory of degeneration of quadratic forms in three variables in the most general setting possible: the quadratic forms are defined on rank 3 vector bundles over an arbitrary scheme and could have values in…

The pentagonal numbers are the integers given by $p_5(n)=n(3n-1)/2\ (n=0,1,2,\ldots)$. Let $(b,c,d)$ be one of the triples $(1,1,2),(1,2,3),(1,2,6)$ and $(2,3,4)$. We show that each $n=0,1,2,\ldots$ can be written as $w+bx+cy+dz$ with…

We prove some general recursions for the numbers of representations of positive integers as a sum x+y, x in X, y in Y, where X,Y are increasing sequences. In particular, we obtain recursions for the number of the Goldbach, Lemoine-Levy,…

Let (a,b,c) be a primitive Pythagorean triple, i.e., a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2} with gcd(a,b,c)=1, a even and b odd. Terai's conjecture says that the Diophantine equation x^{2}+b^{y}=c^{z} has only the positive integer solutions (x,y,z)=(a,2,2). In…

In the present article we investigate the possibility of combining the usual Grassmann algebras with their ternary Z_3-graded counterpart, thus creating a more general algebra with coexisting quadratic and cubic constitutive relations. We…

In this paper we study the cones corresponding to sums of squares of $n$-ary $d$-ic forms with at most $k$ terms. We show that these are strictly nested as $k$ increases, leading to the usual sum of squares cone. We also discuss the duals…

This paper investigates integer multiplication of continued fractions using geometric structures. In particular, this paper shows that integer multiplication of a continued fraction can be represented by replacing one triangulation of an…

In this paper we generalize the result of Fouvry and Iwaniec dealing with prime values of the quadratic form $x^2 + y^2$ with one input restricted to a thin subset of the integers. We prove the same result with an arbitrary primitive…

Let $a, b,c $ and $k$ be positive integers such that $1\leq a\leq b,a<c<2(a+b), c\ne b$ and $(a,b,c)=1$. Define the arithmetic function $f_k(a,b;c;n)$ by $$ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{f_k(a,b;c;n)}{n^s}=\frac{\zeta (as)\zeta…

Let $\mathcal{R}$ denote the set of integers $n$ that can be represented as the sum $n = x^2 + y^2$ with $(x,y) = 1$. Let $a$ and $b$ be integers with $a>0$, $a \nmid b$. We show that for sufficiently large positive integer $N$ there are…

Based on the relation between the notions of Lie triple systems and Jordan algebras, we introduce the $n$-ary Jordan algebras,an $n$-ary generalization of Jordan algebras obtained via the generalization of the following property $\left[…

This paper was motivated by a conjecture of Br\"{a}nd\'{e}n (European J. Combin. \textbf{29} (2008), no.~2, 514--531) about the divisibility of the coefficients in an expansion of generalized Eulerian polynomials, which implies the…

For an odd positive integer $n\ge 5$, assuming the truth of the $abc$ conjecture, we show that for a positive proportion of pairs $(a,b)$ of integers the trinomials of the form $t^n+at+b (a,b\in \mathbb Z)$ are irreducible and their…

For integers $b$ and $c$ the generalized central trinomial coefficient $T_n(b,c)$ denotes the coefficient of $x^n$ in the expansion of $(x^2+bx+c)^n$. Those $T_n=T_n(1,1)\ (n=0,1,2,\ldots)$ are the usual central trinomial coefficients, and…

We revisit recent work of Heath-Brown on the average order of the quantity r(L_1)r(L_2)r(L_3)r(L_4), for suitable binary linear forms L_1,..., L_4, for integers ranging over quite general regions. In addition to improving the error term in…

We study a Dirichlet series in two variables which counts primitive three-term arithmetic progressions of squares. We show that this multiple Dirichlet series has meromorphic continuation to $\mathbb{C}^2$ and use Tauberian methods to…

We consider a generalization of the quaternion ring $\Big(\frac{a,b}{R}\Big)$ over a commutative unital ring $R$ that includes the case when $a$ and $b$ are not units of $R$. In this paper, we focus on the case $R=\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$…

We present an extension of the Hardy--Littlewood inequality for multilinear forms. More precisely, let $\mathbb{K}$ be the real or complex scalar field and $m,k$ be positive integers with $m\geq k\,$ and $n_{1},\dots ,n_{k}$ be positive…

We study real bihomogeneous polynomials $r(z,\bar{z})$ in $n$ complex variables for which $r(z,\bar{z}) \|z\|^2$ is the squared norm of a holomorphic polynomial mapping. Such polynomials are the focus of the Sum of Squares Conjecture, which…
