In 2001, Bhargava proved a composition law for $2 \times 2 \times 2$ integer cubes, which generalized Gauss composition of integral binary quadratic forms. Furthermore, he derived four new composition laws defined on the following spaces:…
We use composition of binary quadratic forms to systematically create pairs of Seifert surfaces that are non-isotopic in the four-ball. Our main topological result employs Gauss composition to classify the pairs of binary quadratic forms…
In the making of origami, one starts with a piece of paper, and through a series of folds along seed points one constructs complicated three-dimensional shapes. Mathematically, one can think of the complex numbers as representing the piece…
We show that binary forms of degree n less than seven parameterize rings, generalizing a result of Levi on binary cubic forms parameterizing cubic rings, which can be related to results of Bhargava. The question of whether or not a binary…
We give a bijection between binary quartic forms and quartic rings with a monogenic cubic resolvent ring, relating the rings associated to binary quartic forms with Bhargava's cubic resolvent rings. This gives a parametrization of quartic…
We prove that the Pythagoras number of the ring of integers of the compositum of all real quadratic fields is infinite. The same holds for certain infinite totally real cyclotomic fields. In contrast, we construct infinite degree totally…
The classical theorems relating integral binary quadratic forms and ideal classes of quadratic orders have been of tremendous importance in mathematics, and many authors have given extensions of these theorems to rings other than the…
In 2012 the first named author conjectured that totally real quartic fields of fundamental discriminant are determined by the isometry class of the integral trace zero form; such conjecture was based on computational evidence and the analog…
In 2001, M. Bhargava stunned the mathematical world by extending Gauss's 200-year-old group law on integral binary quadratic forms, now familiar as the ideal class group of a quadratic ring, to yield group laws on a vast assortment of…
We investigate a version of Waring's Problem over quaternion rings, focusing on cubes in quaternion rings with integer coefficients. We determine the global upper and lower bounds for the number of cubes necessary to represent all such…
Over 200 years ago, Gauss discovered a composition law on the $SL_2({\mathbb Z})$-equivalence classes of primitive binary quadratic forms. Since then, bijections of classes of binary forms have been found with ideal class groups of…
In this article, the standard correspondence between the ideal class group of a quadratic number field and the equivalence classes of binary quadratic forms of given discriminant is generalized to any base number field of narrow class…
For quadratic spaces which represent 1 there is a characterization of hermitian compositions in the language of algebras-with-involutions using the even Clifford algebra. We extend this notion to define a generalized composition based on…
Classes of pairs of ternary quadratic forms parametrize quartic rings by a result of Bhargava. We give an algorithm for finding a pair of ternary quadratic forms that parametrize a given order of a quartic field. We examine a new technique,…
We generalize the Rubik's cube, together with its group of configurations, to any abstract regular polytope. After discussing general aspects, we study the Rubik's simplex of arbitrary dimension and provide a complete description of the…
We give an algebraic identity for cubic polynomials which generalizes Brahmagupta's identity and facilitates arithmetic in cubic fields. We also pose a question about a relationship between the elements of a cubic field of fixed trace and…
In analogy with the 290-Theorem of Bhargava-Hanke, a criterion set is a finite subset $C$ of the totally positive integers in a given totally real number field such that if a quadratic form represents all elements of $C$, then it…
We present an explicit construction of the basic bundle gerbes with connection over all connected compact simple Lie groups. These are geometric objects that appear naturally in the Lagrangian approach to the WZW conformal field theories.…
We use bundle gerbes and their connections and curvings to obtain an explicit formula for a de Rham representative of the string class of a loop group bundle. This is related to earlier work on calorons.
Let $R$ be a Dedekind domain with field of fractions $K$ and $\operatorname{char}(R)\neq3$. In this paper, we generalize Bhargava's parametrization of $3$-torsion ideal classes by binary cubic forms to work over $R$. Specifically, we…
