Computing the critical points of a polynomial function $q\in\mathbb Q[X_1,\ldots,X_n]$ restricted to the vanishing locus $V\subset\mathbb R^n$ of polynomials $f_1,\ldots, f_p\in\mathbb Q[X_1,\ldots, X_n]$ is of first importance in several…

We investigate the existence of a curve $q\mapsto u_{q}$, with $q\in(0,1)$, of positive solutions for the problem $(P_{a,q})$: $-\Delta u=a(x)u^{q}$ in $\Omega$, $u=0$ on $\partial\Omega$, where $\Omega$ is a bounded and smooth domain of…

Let Q be a non-singular quadratic form with integer coefficients. When Q is indefinite we provide new upper bounds for the least non-trivial integral solution to the equation Q=0. When Q is positive definite we provide improved upper bounds…

We determine the roots in F_{q^3} of the polynomial X^{2q^k+1} + X + c for each positive integer k and each c in F_q, where q is a power of 2. We introduce a new approach for this type of question, and we obtain results which are more…

This note investigates the prime values of the polynomial $f(t)=qt^2+a$ for any fixed pair of relatively prime integers $ a\geq 1$ and $ q\geq 1$ of opposite parity. For a large number $x\geq1$, an asymptotic result of the form $\sum_{n\leq…

Generalised Fermat equation (GFE) is the equation of the form $ax^p+by^q=cz^r$, where $a,b,c,p,q,r$ are positive integers. If $1/p+1/q+1/r<1$, GFE is known to have at most finitely many primitive integer solutions $(x,y,z)$. A large body of…

Let $f(x)=(x^{k}+c)^{m}-ax^{n}\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$ be an irreducible polynomial over $\mathbb{Q}$, where $k,m,n\in\mathbb{N}$ with $km>n$, and let $K=\mathbb{Q}(\theta)$, where $\theta$ is a root of $f(x)$. We investigate the arithmetic…

We investigate certain finiteness questions that arise naturally when studying approximations modulo prime powers of p-adic Galois representations coming from modular forms. We link these finiteness statements with a question by K. Buzzard…

Let $p$ be an odd prime, and define $$G_p(x)=\prod_{k=1}^{(p-1)/2}\left(x-e^{2\pi i k^2/p}\right).$$ In this paper we study values of $G_p(x)$ at roots of unity via Galois theory, and confirm some previous conjectures. For example, for any…

We investigate the multiplicity and uniqueness of positive solutions for the superlinear singular $(p,q)$-Laplacian equation \begin{eqnarray*} \begin{cases} -\Delta_p u-\Delta_q u+a(x)u^{p-1}+b(x)u^{q-1}=f(x)u^{-\gamma}+\lambda…

In this paper, motivated by the work of Chapman, Vsemirnov and Sun et al., we investigate some arithmetic properties of the generalized Legendre matrices over finite fields. For example, letting $a_1,\cdots,a_{(q-1)/2}$ be all non-zero…

In 2018, Legrand and Paran proved a weaker form of the Inverse Galois Problem for all Hilbertian fields and all finite groups: that is, there exist possibly non-Galois extensions over given Hilbertian base field with given finite group as…

We study Galois points for a hypersurface $X$ with $\dim {\rm Sing}(X) \le \dim X-2$. The purpose of this article is to determine the set $\Delta(X)$ of Galois points in characteristic zero: Indeed, we give a sharp upper bound of the number…
