This paper highlights an unexpected connection between expansions of real numbers to noninteger bases (so-called {\em $\beta$-expansions}) and the infinite derivatives of a class of self-affine functions. Precisely, we extend Okamoto's…

The theory of singularities defined by Frobenius has been extensively developed for $F$-finite rings and for rings that are essentially of finite type over excellent local rings. However, important classes of non-local excellent rings, such…

We study the classical limit of a family of irreducible representations of the quantum affine algebra associated to $\mathfrak{sl}_{n+1}$. After a suitable twist, the limit is a module for $\mathfrak{sl}_{n+1}[t]$, i.e., for the maximal…

We present a universal construction of Diophantine equations with bounded complexity in Isabelle/HOL. This is a formalization of our own work in number theory. Hilbert's Tenth Problem was answered negatively by Yuri Matiyasevich, who showed…

We establish Liouville type theorems for elliptic systems with various classes of non-linearities on $\mathbb{R}^N$. We show among other things, that a system has no semi-stable solution in any dimension, whenever the infimum of the…

We give examples of infinite order rational transformations that leave linear differential equations covariant. These examples are non-trivial yet simple enough illustrations of exact representations of the renormalization group. We first…

Ghosh and Sarnak have studied integral points on surfaces defined by an equation x^2+y^2+z^2-xyz= m over the integers. For these affine surfaces, we systematically study the Brauer group and the Brauer-Manin obstruction to the integral…

We consider the Diophantine equation $7x^{2} + y^{2n} = 4z^{3}$. We determine all solutions to this equation for $n = 2, 3, 4$ and $5$. We formulate a Kraus type criterion for showing that the Diophantine equation $7x^{2} + y^{2p} = 4z^{3}$…

Consider a system \Psi of non-constant affine-linear forms \psi_1,...,\psi_t: Z^d -> Z, no two of which are linearly dependent. Let N be a large integer, and let K be a convex subset of [-N,N]^d. A famous and difficult open conjecture of…

Let n be a square-free polynomial over F_q, where q is an odd prime power. In this paper, we determine which irreducible polynomials p in F_q[x] can be represented in the form X^2+nY^2 with X, Y in F_q[x]. We restrict ourselves to the case…

Let $\mathfrak{B}$ denote the collection of odd primitive Gaussian integers and $n\mapsto b(n)$ denote the characteristic function of elements of $\mathfrak{B}$. We prove that the exponential sum $ S(\alpha; N)=\sum_{n\le…

A semiprime is a natural number which is the product of two (not necessarily distinct) prime numbers. Let $F(x_1, \ldots, x_n)$ be a degree $d$ homogeneous form with integer coefficients. We provide sufficient conditions, similar to those…

Let $K=\mathbb{Q}(\omega)$ with $\omega$ the root of a degree $n$ monic irreducible polynomial $f\in\mathbb{Z}[X]$. We show the degree $n$ polynomial $N(\sum_{i=1}^{n-k}x_i\omega^{i-1})$ in $n-k$ variables formed by setting the final $k$…

The Frobenius number of relatively prime positive integers $a_1, \ldots, a_n$ is the largest integer that is not a nononegative integer combination of the $a_i.$ Given positive integers $a_1, \ldots, a_n$ with $n \ge 2,$ the set of…
