We study the solutions of the Rosenberg--Markoff equation ax^2+by^2+cz^2 = dxyz (a generalization of the well--known Markoff equation). We specifically focus on looking for solutions in arithmetic progression that lie in the ring of…

Markov polynomials are the Laurent-polynomial solutions of the generalised Markov equation $$X^2 + Y^2 + Z^2 = kXYZ, \quad k=\frac{x^2 + y^2 + z^2}{x y z}$$ which are the results of cluster mutations applied to the initial triple $(x, y,…

We establish an asymptotic formula for the number of integer solutions to the Markoff-Hurwitz equation \[ x_{1}^{2}+x_{2}^{2}+\ldots+x_{n}^{2}=ax_{1}x_{2}\ldots x_{n}+k. \] When $n\geq4$ the previous best result is by Baragar (1998) that…

Solutions of the Markoff-Rosenberger equation ax^2+by^2+cz^2 = dxyz such that their coordinates belong to the ring of integers of a number field and form a geometric progression are studied.

We give asymptotic expansions for the moments of the $M_2$-rank generating function and for the $M_2$-rank generating function at roots of unity. For this we apply the Hardy-Ramanujan circle method extended to mock modular forms. Our…

Suppose $F$ is an infinite field and let $f \in F\{X_1, \dots,X_m\}$ be a noncommutative polynomial. Partially answering a query of Makar-Limanov, we show that there are numbers $d$ and $m'$ such that, if $F$ is closed under taking $d$th…

We obtain a new bound for the number of solutions to polynomial equations in cosets of multiplicative subgroups in finite fields, which generalises previous results of P. Corvaja and U. Zannier (2013). We also obtain a conditional…

Let $N$ denote the number of solutions to the generalized Markoff-Hurwitz-type equation \[(a_1X_1^m+\cdots + a_nX_n^m+a)^k=bX_1\cdots X_n \] over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, where $m,k$ are positive integers, and $a,b,a_i\in…

For a positive integer $m>1$, if the generalized Markoff equation $a^2+b^2+c^2=3abc+m$ has a solution triple, then it has infinitely many solutions. We show that all positive solution triples are generated by a finite set of triples that we…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ denote the ring of polynomials over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Building off of techniques of Balog and Ruzsa and of Keil in the integer setting, we determine the precise order of magnitude of $k$th moments of…

Using the steepest descent method for oscillatory Riemann-Hilbert problems introduced by Deift and Zhou [Ann. Math. {\bf 137}(1993), 295-368], we derive asymptotic formulas for the Meixner polynomials in two regions of the complex plane…

We consider hyper- and superelliptic equations $f(x)=by^m$ with unknowns x,y from the ring of S-integers of a given number field K. Here, f is a polynomial with S-integral coefficients of degree n with non-zero discriminant and b is a…

The $k$-Markov numbers, introduced by Gyoda and Matsushita, are those which appear in positive integral solutions to $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + k(xy + xz + yz) = (3+3k)xyz$. When $k =0$, this recovers the ordinary Markov numbers. A long-standing…

Consider a system of polynomials in many variables over the ring of integers of a number field $K$. We prove an asymptotic formula for the number of integral zeros of this system in homogeneously expanding boxes. As a consequence, any…

We prove an asymptotic formula for the number of integral points of bounded log anticanonical height on a singular quartic del Pezzo surface over arbitrary number fields, with respect to the largest admissible boundary divisor. The…

We study the class of 2-dimensional affine k-domains R satisfying ML(R) = k, where k is an arbitrary field of characteristic zero. In particular, we obtain the following result: Let R be a localization of a polynomial ring in finitely many…

The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we introduce a family of generalized Markov-Hurwitz equations, extending classical Markov-Hurwitz equations with additional degree n-1 interaction terms, Gyoda and Matsushita's generalized Markov…

We give results on the asymptotic in Waring's problem over function fields that are stronger than the results obtained over the integers using the main conjecture in Vinogradov's mean value theorem. Similar estimates apply to Manin's…

We develop techniques for computing the AK invariant of domains with arbitrary characteristic. As an example, we show that for any field $K$ the ring $K[X,Y,Z,T] / (X + X^2 Y + Z^2 + T^3)$ is not isomorphic to a polynomial ring over $K$.

Let k be a fixed integer. We study the asymptotic formula of R(H, r, k), which is the number of positive integer solutions x, y, z greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to H such that the polynomial x^2+y^2+z^2+k is r-free. We…
