Let $K/\mathbb{Q}$ be a quadratic extension. In this paper we study the $4$-rank of the class group $\text{Cl}(K(\sqrt{n}))$, where $n$ varies over squarefree rational integers. We show that for $100\%$ of squarefree $n$, the $4$-rank is…

Let $-D < -4$ denote a fundamental discriminant which is either odd or divisible by 8, so that the canonical Hecke character of $\Bbb Q(\sqrt{-D})$ exists. Let $d$ be a fundamental discriminant prime to $D$. Let $2k-1$ be an odd natural…

Let $Q_d$ be the $d$-dimensional Hamming cube and $N=|V(Q_d)|=2^d$. An independent set $I$ in $Q_d$ is called balanced if $I$ contains the same number of even and odd vertices. We show that the logarithm of the number of balanced…

We refine a result of L. Caporaso, J. Harris and B. Mazur, and prove: Supposons que la conjecture de Lang soit vraie. Soit $K$ un corps des nombres et $g>1$ un entier. Il existe un nombre $N(K,g)$ tel que si $L$ est une extension de degr\'e…

Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve defined over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ ($q$ is odd) and let $K=\mathbb{F}_q(C)$ be its function field. Removing one closed point $C^\text{af} = C-\{\infty\}$ results in an integral domain…

Let $\chi$ be a non-real Dirichlet character modulo a prime $q$. In this paper we prove that the distribution of the short character sum $S_{\chi,H}(x)=\sum_{x< n\leq x+H} \chi(n)$, as $x$ runs over the positive integers below $q$,…

Let $d\geq 2$ be a squarefree integer, let $\omega\in\{\sqrt{d},\frac{1+\sqrt{d}}{2}\}$ be such that $\mathbb{Z}[\omega]$ is the ring of algebraic integers of the real quadratic number field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})$, let $\varepsilon>1$ be…

In this paper we study the distribution of squares modulo a square-free number $q$. We also look at inverse questions for the large sieve in the distribution aspect and we make improvements on existing results on the distribution of…

We show that counts of squarefree integers up to $X$ in short intervals of size $H$ tend to a Gaussian distribution as long as $H\rightarrow\infty$ and $H = X^{o(1)}$. This answers a question posed by R.R. Hall in 1989. More generally we…

By Dirichlet's Unit Theorem, under the log embedding the units in the ring of integers of a number field form a lattice, called the log-unit lattice. We investigate the geometry of these lattices when the number field is a biquadratic or…

We give a relatively simple proof that \[ \int _0^1\left |\sum _{n\leq x}d(n)e(n\alpha )\right |d\alpha \asymp \sqrt x.\]

We study totally positive, additively indecomposable integers in a real quadratic field $\mathbb Q(\sqrt D)$. We estimate the size of the norm of an indecomposable integer by expressing it as a power series in $u_i^{-1}$, where $\sqrt D$…

The duals of cyclic codes with two zeros have been extensively studied, and their weight distributions have recently been evaluated in some cases. In this note, we determine the weight distribution of a certain new class of such codes by…

Gerth generalised Cohen-Lenstra heuristics to the prime $p=2$. He conjectured that for any positive integer $m$, the limit $$ \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{\sum_{0 < D \le X, \atop{ \text{squarefree} }} |{\rm Cl}^2_{\Q(\sqrt{D})}/{\rm…

Let $q>2$ be an odd integer. For each integer $x$ with $0<x<q$ and $(q,x)= 1$, we know that there exists one and only one $\bar{x}$ with $0<\bar{x}<q$ such that $x\bar{x}\equiv1(\bmod q)$. A Lehmer number is defined to be any integer $a$…

Let $l$ be a rational prime greater than or equal to $3$ and $k$ be a given positive integer. Under a conjecture due to Langland and an assumption on upper bound for the regulator of fields of the form $\mathbb{Q}\left(\sqrt[l]a\right)$, we…

Let $1 \leq p < q < \infty$. We show that \[ \sup{\frac{\left\| D\right\|_{\mathcal{H}_{q}}}{\left\| D\right\|_{\mathcal{H}_{p}}}} = \exp{\left( \frac{\log{x}}{\log{\log{x}}} \left(\log{\sqrt{\frac{q}{p}}} +…

We give an asymptotic formula for the number of biquadratic extensions of the rationals of bounded discriminant that fail the Hasse norm principle.

We investigate Eisenstein discriminants, which are squarefree integers $d \equiv 5 \pmod{8}$ such that the fundamental unit $\varepsilon_d$ of the real quadratic field $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})$ satisfies $\varepsilon_d \equiv 1…

Let $f \in S_{k}(\Gamma_{0}(N))$ be a normalized Hecke eigenform. We study the Fourier coefficients $\lambda_{f \otimes \cdots \otimes_{\ell} f}(n)$ of the $\ell$-fold product $L$-function for odd $\ell \ge 3$. Our focus is the distribution…
