For odd prime numbers $p < q$, let $\Phi_{pq} \in \mathbb{Z}[X]$ be the binary cyclotomic polynomial of order $pq$. In this paper, we prove that the second gap of $\Phi_{pq}$ is the maximum of $r-1$ and $p-r-1$, where $r$ is the remainder…

Using the $q$-Wilf--Zeilberger method and a $q$-analogue of a "divergent" Ramanujan-type supercongruence, we give several $q$-supercongruences modulo the fourth power of a cyclotomic polynomial. One of them is a $q$-analogue of a…

In previous work, the author has extended the concept of regular and irregular primes to the setting of arbitrary totally real number fields k_{0}, using the values of the zeta function \zeta_{k_{0}} at negative integers as our ``higher…

First some old as well as new results about P.I. algebras, Ore extensions, and degrees are presented. Then quantized $n\times r$ matrices as well as quantized factor algebras of $M_q(n)$ are analyzed. The latter are the quantized function…

Let $\UT_n(q)$ denote the unitriangular group of unipotent $n\times n$ upper triangular matrices over a finite field with cardinality $q$ and prime characteristic $p$. It has been known for some time that when $p$ is fixed and $n$ is…

In terms of the creative microscoping method recently introduced by Guo and Zudilin and the Chinese remainder theorem for coprime polynomials, we establish a $q$-supercongruence with two parameters modulo $[n]\Phi_n(q)^3$. Here…

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…

A quantum processor (QuP) can be used to exploit quantum mechanics to find the prime factors of composite numbers[1]. Compiled versions of Shor's algorithm have been demonstrated on ensemble quantum systems[2] and photonic systems[3-5],…

At the first step of studying order estimates for the $q$-analogue of the Riemann zeta function, we estimate bounds for it on vertical lines for a fixed parameter $q$.

We study Kummer's approach towards proving the Fermat's last Theorem for regular primes. Some basic algebraic prerequisites are also discussed in this report, and also a brief history of the problem is mentioned. We review among other…

Let $p\equiv 1\,(\mathrm{mod}\,3)$ be a prime and denote by $\zeta_3$ a primitive third root of unity. Recently, Lemmermeyer presented a conjecture about $3$-class groups of pure cubic fields $L=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{p})$ and of their normal…

Suppose $F=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-p_1\dotsm p_t})$ is an imaginary quadratic number field with distinct primes $p_1,\dots,p_{t}$, where $p_i\equiv 1\pmod{4}$ ($i=1,\dots,t-1$) and $p_t\equiv 3\pmod{4}$. We express the possible values of the…

Let $p$ be an irregular prime and $K=\Q(\zeta)$ the $p$-cyclotomic field. Let $\sigma$ be a $\Q$-isomorphism of $K$ generating $Gal(K/\Q)$. Let $S/K$ be a cyclic unramified extension of degree $p$, defined by $S= K(A^{1/p})$ where $A\in…

We describe a straightforward method to generate a random prime q such that the multiplicative group GF(q)* also has a random large prime-order subgroup. The described algorithm also yields this order p as well as a p'th primitive root of…

In this paper, we study the discrete logarithm problem in the finite fields $\F_{q^n}$ where $n|q-1$. The field is called a Kummer field or a Kummer extension of $\F_q$. It plays an important role in improving the AKS primality proving…

Sample complexity bounds are a common performance metric in the Reinforcement Learning literature. In the discounted cost, infinite horizon setting, all of the known bounds have a factor that is a polynomial in $1/(1-\gamma)$, where $\gamma…

We exhibit a quantum algorithm for determining the zeta function of a genus g curve over a finite field F_q, which is polynomial in g and log(q). This amounts to giving an algorithm to produce provably random elements of the class group of…

We give the first quantum circuit for computing $f(0)$ OR $f(1)$ more reliably than is classically possible with a single evaluation of the function. OR therefore joins XOR (i.e. parity, $f(0) \oplus f(1)$) to give the full set of logical…
