Let K be a finite extension of Q_p and let L/K be a totally ramified (Z/pZ)^2-extension which has a single ramification break b. Byott and Elder defined a "refined ramification break" b_* for L/K. In this paper we prove that if p>2 and the…
Given a $(0,p)$-mixed characteristic complete discrete valued field $\mathcal{K}$ we define a class of finite field extensions called \emph{pseudo-perfect} extensions such that the natural restriction map on the mod-$p$ Milnor $K$-groups is…
Given a prime $p$, a number field $\K$ and a finite set of places $S$ of $\K$, let $\K_S$ be the maximal pro-$p$ extension of $\K$ unramified outside $S$. Using the Golod-Shafarevich criterion one can often show that $\K_S/\K$ is infinite.…
Let $h,k \ge 2$ be integers. We say a set $A$ of positive integers is an asymptotic basis of order $k$ if every large enough positive integer can be represented as the sum of $k$ terms from $A$. A set of positive integers $A$ is called…
We prove that for every field k and every positive integer n, there exists an absolutely simple n-dimensional abelian variety over k. We also prove an asymptotic result for finite fields: For every finite field k and positive integer n, we…
In this paper we give a short, elementary proof of the following too extreme cases of the Leopoldt conjecture: the case when $\K/\Q$ is a solvable extension and the case when it is a totally real extension in which $p$ splits completely.…
Let $P(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ be a polynomial. We give an easy and new proof of the fact that the set of primes $p$ such that $p \mid P(n)$, for some $n \in \mathbb{Z}$, is infinite. We also get analog of this result for some special…
Let d>2 and let p be a prime coprime to d. Let Z_pbar be the ring of integers of Q_pbar. Suppose f(x) is a degree-d polynomial over Qbar and Z_pbar. Let P be a prime ideal over p in the ring of integers of Q(f), where Q(f) is the number…
We prove the $p$-part of the strong Stark conjecture for every totally odd character and every odd prime $p$. Let $L/K$ be a finite Galois CM-extension with Galois group $G$, which has an abelian Sylow $p$-subgroup for an odd prime $p$. We…
A study of certain Hamiltonian systems has lead Y. Long to conjecture the existence of infinitely many primes of the form $p=2[\alpha n]+1$, where $1<\alpha<2$ is a fixed irrational number. An argument of P. Ribenboim coupled with classical…
We show that for every positive integer $k$, there exist $k$ consecutive primes having the property that if any digit of any one of the primes, including any of the infinitely many leading zero digits, is changed, then that prime becomes…
Let $K$ be a local field whose residue field has characteristic $p$ and let $L/K$ be a finite separable totally ramified extension of degree $n=up^{\nu}$. Let $\sigma_1,\dots,\sigma_n$ denote the $K$-embeddings of $L$ into a separable…
This work is devoted to proving that, given an integer $x \ge 2$, there are infinitely many perfect powers, coprime with $x$, having exactly $k \ge 3$ non-zero digits in their base $x$ representation, except for the case $x=2, k=4$, for…
Let p be an odd prime number and let S be a finite set of prime numbers congruent to 1 modulo p. We prove that the group G_S(Q)(p) has cohomological dimension 2 if the linking diagram attached to S and p satisfies a certain technical…
Let $K/F$ be a finite extension of number fields of degree $n \geq 2$. We establish effective field-uniform unconditional upper bounds for the least norm of a prime ideal of $F$ which is degree 1 over $\mathbb{Q}$ and does not ramify or…
In this paper, we obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of imaginary quadratic fields with prime discriminant and class number up to $H$, as $H\to \infty$. Previously, such an asymptotic was only known under the assumption of the…
In 1992, Erd$\H{o}$s and Hegyv$\'{a}$ri showed that for any prime p, there exist infinitely many length 3 weakly prime-additive numbers divisible by p. In 2018, Fang and Chen showed that for any positive integer m, there exists infinitely…
Matom\"aki proved that if $\alpha\in \mathbb{R}$ is irrational, then there are infinitely many primes $p$ such that $|\alpha-a/p|\le p^{-4/3+\varepsilon}$ for a suitable integer a. In this paper, we extend this result to all quadratic…
Starting with Zhang's theorem on the infinitude of prime doubles, we give an inductive argument that there exists an infinite number of prime $k$-tuples for at least one admissible set $\mathcal{H}_k=\{h_1,\ldots,h_k\}$ for each $k$.
Bonamy et al \cite{BBEGLPS} showed that graphs of polynomial growth have finite asymptotic dimension. We refine their result showing that a graph of polynomial growth strictly less than $n^{k+1}$ has asymptotic dimension at most $k$. As a…
