Let X be a smooth variety over a field of positive characteristic, and let E be an overconvergent isocrystal on X. We establish a criterion for the existence of a "canonical logarithmic extension" of E to a good compactification of X. In…

Let $f$ be an $E$-function (in Siegel's sense) not of the form $e^{\beta z}$, $\beta \in \overline{\mathbb{Q}}$, and let $\log$ denote any fixed determination of the complex logarithm. We first prove that there exists a finite set $S(f)$…

This short article is aimed at educators and teachers of mathematics.Its goal is simple and direct:to explore some of the basic/elementary properties of proper rational numbers.A proper rational number is a rational which is not an integer.…

Let $Q=(q_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ be a sequence of bases with $q_i\ge 2$. In the case when the $q_i$ are slowly growing and satisfy some additional weak conditions, we provide a construction of a number whose $Q$-Cantor series expansion is both…

Let $K$ be a number field with ring of integers $\mathbb{Z}_K$. We prove two asymptotic formulas connected with the distribution of irreducible elements in $\mathbb{Z}_K$. First, we estimate the maximum number of nonassociated irreducibles…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote the finite field of $q$ elements and $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ the degree $n$ extension of $\mathbb{F}_q$. A normal basis of $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ over $\mathbb{F} _q$ is a basis of the form…

We investigate the distribution of the digits of quotients of randomly chosen positive integers taken from the interval $[1,T]$, improving the previously known error term for the counting function as $T\to+\infty$. We also resolve some…

We consider a square random matrix of size N of the form A + Y where A is deterministic and Y has iid entries with variance 1/N. Under mild assumptions, as N grows, the empirical distribution of the eigenvalues of A+Y converges weakly to a…

For integer $n$ and real $u$, define $\Delta(n,u):= |\{d : d \mid n,\,{\rm e}^u <d\leqslant {\rm e}^{u+1} \}|$. Then, put $ \Delta(n):=\max_{u\in{\mathbb R}} \Delta(n,u).$ We provide uniform upper and lower bounds for the mean-value of…

The theory of Frobenius groups with Frobenius complements of even order largely reduces to tractable algebraic number theory. If we consider only Frobenius complements with an upper bound $s$ on the number of distinct primes dividing the…

For finite-dimensional linear semigroups which leave a proper cone invariant it is shown that irreducibility with respect to the cone implies the existence of an extremal norm. In case the cone is simplicial a similar statement applies to…

A univariate polynomial f over a field is decomposable if f = g o h = g(h) for nonlinear polynomials g and h. It is intuitively clear that the decomposable polynomials form a small minority among all polynomials over a finite field. The…

It is well known that a dense subgroup $G$ of the complex unitary group $U(d)$ cannot be amenable as a discrete group when $d>1$. When $d$ is large enough we give quantitative versions of this phenomenon in connection with certain estimates…

We estimate the local laws of the distribution of the middle prime factor of an integer, defined according to multiplicity or not. An asymptotic estimate with effective remainder is provided for a wide range of values. In particular this…

Let $c$ be a positive odd integer and $R$ a set of $n$ primes coprime with $c$. We consider equations $X + Y = c^z$ in three integer unknowns $X$, $Y$, $z$, where $z > 0$, $Y > X > 0$, and the primes dividing $XY$ are precisely those in…

A semiring is uniserial if its ideals are totally ordered by inclusion. First, we show that a semiring $S$ is uniserial if and only if the matrix semiring $M_n(S)$ is uniserial. As a generalization of valuation semirings, we also…

Patterns on numerical semigroups are multivariate linear polynomials, and they are said to be admissible if there exists a numerical semigroup such that evaluated at any nonincreasing sequence of elements of the semigroup gives integers…

If $N = {q^k}{n^2}$ is an odd perfect number, where $q$ is the Euler prime, then we show that $n < q$ is sufficient for Sorli's conjecture that $k = \nu_{q}(N) = 1$ to hold. We also prove that $q^k < 2/3{n^2}$, and that $I(q^k) < I(n)$,…

We consider a notion of "numerosity" for sets of tuples of natural numbers, that satisfies the five common notions of Euclid's Elements, so it can agree with cardinality only for finite sets. By suitably axiomatizing such a notion, we show…

Let $a_0=b_0=0$ and $0<a_1\leq b_1<a_2\leq b_2<\ldots\leq b_{n}$ be integers. Let $Q\left(x;\bigcup_{j=1}^{n}[a_j,b_j]\right)$ be the number of integers between $1$ and $x$ such that all exponents in their prime factorization are in…
