We derive a recursive formula determing the weight distribution of the [n=(q^m-1)/(q-1), n-m, 3] Hamming code H(m,q), when (m, q-1)=1. Here q is a prime power. The proof is based on Moisio's idea of using Pless power moment identity…

We use elementary arguments to prove results on the order of magnitude of certain sums concerning the gcd's and lcm's of $k$ positive integers, where $k\ge 2$ is fixed. We refine and generalize an asymptotic formula of Bordell\`{e}s (2007),…

Let $C$ be a convex $d$-dimensional body. If $\rho$ is a large positive number, then the dilated body $\rho C$ contains $\rho^{d}\left\vert C\right\vert +\mathcal{O}\left( \rho^{d-1}\right) $ integer points, where $\left\vert C\right\vert $…

Quadric hypersurfaces are well-known to satisfy the Hasse principle. However, this is no longer true in the case of the Hasse principle for integral points, where counter-examples are known to exist in dimension 1 and 2. This work explores…

We explore the distribution of class numbers $h(d)$ of indefinite binary quadratic forms, for discriminants $d$ such that the corresponding fundamental unit $\varepsilon_d$ is lower than $d^{1/2+\alpha}$, where $0<\alpha<1/2$. To do so we…

In a previous paper, we derived a recursive formula determining the weight distributions of the [n=(q^m-1)/(q-1)] Hamming code H(m,q), when (m,q-1)=1. Here q is a prime power. We note here that the formula actually holds for any positive…

We show that the ordinates of the nontrivial zeros of certain $L-$functions attached to half-integral weight cusp forms are uniformly distributed modulo one.

We answer various questions concerning the distribution of extensions of a given central simple algebra $K$ over a number field. Specifically, we give asymptotics for the count of inner Galois extensions $L/K$ of fixed degree and center…

Let f(z) = sum_n a(n) n^{(k-1)/2} e(nz) be a cusp form for Gamma_0(N), character chi and weight k geq 4. Let q(x) = x^2 + sx + t be a polynomial with integral coefficients. It is shown that sum_{n \leq X} a(q(n)) = cX + O(X^{6/7+eps}) for…

We study the L-series of cubic fourfolds. Our main result is that, if X/C is a special cubic fourfold associated to some polarized K3 surface $S$, defined over a number field K such that S^[2](K) is not empty, then X has a model over K such…

We obtain the estimate of incomplete Kloosterman sum to powerful modulus $q$. The length $N$ of the sum lies in the interval $e^{c(\log{q})^{2/3}}\le N\le \sqrt{q}$.

We prove a number of unconditional statistical results of the Hecke coefficients for unitary cuspidal representations of $\operatorname{GL}(2)$ over number fields. Using partial bounds on the size of the Hecke coefficients, instances of…

We show that $1+3/\sqrt{2}$ is a point of the Lagrange spectrum $L$ which is accumulated by a sequence of elements of the complement $M\setminus L$ of the Lagrange spectrum in the Markov spectrum $M$. In particular, $M\setminus L$ is not a…

For a uniform process $\{ X_t: t\in E\}$ (by which $X_t $ is uniformly distributed on $(0,1)$ for $t\in E$) and a function $w(x)>0$ on $(0,1)$, we give a sufficient condition for the weak convergence of the empirical process based on $\{…

Let $f(n)$ be a multiplicative function satisfying $|f(n)|\leq 1$, $q$ $(\leq N^2)$ be a positive integer and $a$ be an integer with $(a,\,q)=1$. In this paper, we shall prove that $$\sum_{\substack{n\leq N\\ (n,\,q)=1}}f(n)e({a\bar{n}\over…

We investigate the distribution of $\alpha p$ modulo one in quadratic number fields $\mathbb{K}$ with class number one, where $p$ is restricted to prime elements in the ring of integers of $\mathbb{K}$. Here we improve the relevant exponent…

We study the rank of the modular curve $X_0(49)$ over quadratic extensions. Assuming the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture, we show that the rank over $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})$ is positive if and only if the number of solutions of two…

A cascade of dihedral symmetries is hidden in Young's lattice of integer partitions. In fact, for each integer N>2 the Hasse graph of the subposet consisting of the partitions with maximal hook length strictly less than N has the dihedral…

By means of the Hardy-Littlewood method, we apply a new mean value theorem for exponential sums to confirm the truth, over the rational numbers, of the Hasse principle for pairs of diagonal cubic forms in thirteen or more variables.

For an infinite family of monogenic trinomials $P(X) = X^3\pm 3rbX-b$ in $\mathbb{Z}\lbrack X\rbrack$, arithmetical invariants of the cubic number field $L = \mathbb{Q}(\theta)$, generated by a zero $\theta$ of $P(X)$, and of its Galois…
