For coprime nonzero integers $a$ and $b$, a positive integer $\ell$ is said to be {\em good} with respect to $a$ and $b$ if there exists a positive integer $k$ such that $\ell |(a^{k}+b^{k})$. Since the early 1990s, such classical good…

A complete classification is presented of quantum and classical superintegrable systems in $E_2$ that allow the separation of variables in polar coordinates and admit an additional integral of motion of order three in the momentum. New…

For each odd prime power q, we construct an infinite sequence of rational functions f(X) in F_q(X), each of which is exceptional, which means that for infinitely many n the map c-->f(c) induces a bijection of P^1(F_{q^n}). Moreover, each of…

Given a countable Turing ideal $\mathcal{I} \subseteq \omega^{\omega}$, we say that $x$ is a list (resp. weak list) of $\mathcal{I}$ if $\mathcal{I}=\{x^{[n]} : n \in \omega\}$ (resp. if $\mathcal{I} \subseteq \{x^{[n]} :n \in \omega\}$).…

A superintegrable system is, roughly speaking, a system that allows more integrals of motion than degrees of freedom. This review is devoted to finite dimensional classical and quantum superintegrable systems with scalar potentials and…

We develop machinery to explicitly determine, in many instances, when the difference $x^2-y^n$ is divisible only by powers of a given fixed prime. This combines a wide variety of techniques from Diophantine approximation (bounds for linear…

This paper investigates the application of the theoretical algebraic notion of a separable ring extension, in the realm of cyclic convolutional codes or, more generally, ideal codes. We work under very mild conditions, that cover all…

Consider the average of the first n k-th powers. We pose and answer the following natural question: For which values of n and k is this average an integer? If k is odd the answer is easy; it is an integer as long as n is incongruent to 2…

Let X be a countably infinite set of real numbers and let Y_x, x \in X, be an independent family of stationary random subsets of the real numbers, e.g. homogeneous Poisson point processes. We give criteria for the a.s. existence of various…

We consider a model of the reaction $X+Y\to 2X$ on the integer lattice in which $Y$ particles do not move while $X$ particles move as independent continuous time, simple symmetric random walks. $Y$ particles are transformed instantaneously…

Nonequilibrium equalities have attracted considerable interest in the context of statistical mechanics and information thermodynamics. What is remarkable about nonequilibrium equalities is that they apply to rather general nonequilibrium…

Let $H$ be a Hardy field (a field consisting of germs of real-valued functions at infinity that is closed under differentiation) and let $f \in H$ be a subpolynomial function. Let $\mathcal{P} = \{2, 3, 5, 7, \dots \}$ be the (naturally…

We prove that for every indecomposable ordinal there exists a (transfinitely valued) Euclidean domain whose minimal Euclidean norm is of that order type. Conversely, any such norm must have indecomposable type, and so we completely…

Let $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ be a finite field with $q$ elements and $\mathbb{F}_{q}[x]$ the ring of polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. Let $l(x), k(x)$ be coprime polynomials in $\mathbb{F}_{q}[x]$ and $\Phi(k)$ the Euler function in…

Motivated by the theory of unitary representations of finite dimensional Lie supergroups, we describe those Lie superalgebras which have a faithful finite dimensional unitary representation. We call these Lie superalgebras unitary. This is…

For $x\ge y>1$ and $u:= \log x/\log y$, let $\Phi(x,y)$ denote the number of positive integers up to $x$ free of prime divisors less than or equal to $y$. In 1950 de Bruijn [1] studied the approximation of $\Phi(x,y)$ by the quantity…

We evaluate friable averages of arithmetic functions whose Dirichlet series is analytically close to some complex power of the Riemann zeta function. We obtain asymptotic expansions resembling those provided by the Selberg-Delange method in…

We consider integrable vertex models whose Boltzmann weights (R-matrices) are trigonometric solutions to the graded Yang-Baxter equation. As is well known the latter can be generically constructed from quantum affine superalgebras…

Let $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ be a finite field with $q^n$ elements. For a positive divisor $r$ of $q^n-1$, the element $\alpha \in \mathbb{F}_{q^n}^*$ is called \textit{$r$-primitive} if its multiplicative order is $(q^n-1)/r$. Also, for a…

We classify all post-critically finite unicritical polynomials defined over the maximal totally real algebraic extension of ${\mathbb Q}$. Two auxiliary results used in the proof of this result may be of some independent interest. The first…
