In this paper we establish function field versions of two classical conjectures on prime numbers. The first says that the number of primes in intervals (x,x+x^epsilon] is about x^epsilon/log x and the second says that the number of primes…

Let $f(x)\in {\mathbb Z}[x]$ be a monic polynomial of degree $N$ that is irreducible over ${\mathbb Q}$. We say $f(x)$ is \emph{monogenic} if $\Theta=\{1,\theta,\theta^2,\ldots ,\theta^{N-1}\}$ is a basis for the ring of integers ${\mathbb…

We prove that for positive integers $m \geq 1, n \geq 1$ and a prime number $p \neq 2,3$ there are finitely many finite $m$-generated Moufang loops of exponent $p^n$.

J.P. Serre showed that for any integer $m,~a(n)\equiv 0 \pmod m$ for almost all $n,$ where $a(n)$ is the $n^{\text{th}}$ Fourier coefficient of any modular form with rational coefficients. In this article, we consider a certain class of…

In this paper, it is proved that every sufficiently large even integer can be represented as the sum of two squares of primes, two cubes of primes, two biquadrates of primes and 16 powers of 2. Furthermore, there are at least 5.313% odd…

We obtain best possible results for the number of coprime positive integer solutions of the equation in the title when $a$ is a positive integer, $b=p^{m}$, $2p^{m}$ or $4p^{m}$, where $m$ is a non-negative integer, $p$ is prime, $\gcd…

Let $f$ be a monic univariate polynomial with non-zero constant term. We say that $f$ is positive if $f(x)$ is positive over all $x\geq0$. If all the coefficients of $f$ are non-negative, then $f$ is trivially positive. In 1883, Poincar\'e…

We consider symmetric (under the action of products of finite symmetric groups) real algebraic varieties and semi-algebraic sets, as well as symmetric complex varieties in affine and projective spaces, defined by polynomials of degrees…

Given a negative $D>-(\log X)^{\log 2-\delta}$, we give a new upper bound on the number of square free integers $<X$ which are represented by some but not all forms of the genus of a primitive positive definite binary quadratic form $f$ of…

Let $\alpha\in \mathbb{R}\setminus\mathbb{Q}$ and $\beta\in \mathbb{R}$ be given. Suppose that $a_1,\ldots,a_s$ are distinct positive integers that do not contain a reduced residue system modulo $p^2$ for any prime $p$. We prove that there…

Let $\mathcal{O}_K$ be the ring of integers of an algebraic number field $K$ embedded into $\mathbb{C}$. Let $X$ be a subset of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$, and $D(X)$ be the set of the squared distances of two distinct points in…

Let $S=K[x_1, \ldots,x_n]$ denote the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $K$ and let $I \subset S$ be a monomial ideal. For a vector $\mathfrak{c}\in\mathbb{N}^n$, we set $I_{\mathfrak{c}}$ to be the ideal generated by monomials…

Let $f$ be a monic univariate polynomial. We say that $f$ is positive if $f(x)$ is positive over all $x > 0$. If all the coefficients of $f$ are non-negative, then $f$ is trivially positive. In 1883, Poincar\'e proved that $f$ is positive…

We consider polynomial equations, or systems of polynomial equations, with integer coefficients, modulo prime numbers $p$. We offer an elementary approach based on a counting method. The outcome is a weak form of the Lang-Weil lower bound…

Suppose that $p$ is an odd prime and $m$ is an integer not divisible by $p$. Sun and Tauraso [Adv. in Appl. Math., 45(2010), 125--148] gave $\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}\binom{2k}{k+d}/m^k$ and $\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}\binom{2k}{k+d}/(km^k)$ modulo $p$ for…

Let $\mathcal{R}$ be a finite set of integers satisfying appropriate local conditions. We show the existence of long clusters of primes $p$ in bounded length intervals with $p-b$ squarefree for all $b \in \mathcal{R}$. Moreover, we can…

Let $f(x_1,...,x_k)$ be a polynomial over a field $K$. This paper considers such questions as the enumeration of the number of nonzero coefficients of $f$ or of the number of coefficients equal to $\alpha\in K^*$. For instance, if $K=\ff_q$…
