We develop a method for determining the density of squarefree values taken by certain multivariate integer polynomials that are invariants for the action of an algebraic group on a vector space. The method is shown to apply to the…

The large sieve is used to estimate the density of integral quadratic polynomials $Q$, such that there exists an odd degree integral polynomial which has resultant $\pm 1$ with $Q$. Given a monic integral polynomial $R$ of odd degree, this…

Let $k$ be a number field. Let $q(x_1,\cdots,x_n)$ be a non-degenerate integral quadratic form in $n\geq 3$ variables with coefficients in $k$ and $m\in k^\times$. Let $X$ be the affine quadric defined by $q=m$ in $\mathbb{A}^n_k$. Based on…

We give formulas for local densities of diagonal integral ternary quadratic forms at odd primes. Exponential sums and quadratic Gauss sums are used to obtain these formulas. These formulas (along with 2-adic densities and Siegel's mass…

A sieve for rational points on suitable varieties is developed, together with applications to counting rational points in thin sets, the number of varieties in a family which are everywhere locally soluble, and to the notion of friable…

We study the density of everywhere locally soluble diagonal quadric surfaces, parameterised by rational points that lie on a split quadric surface.

We formulate and prove a large sieve inequality for quadratic characters over a number field. To do this, we introduce the notion of an n-th order Hecke family. We develop the basic theory of these Hecke families, including versions of the…

We provide several properties of the geometric polynomials discussed in earlier works of the authors. Further, the geometric polynomials are used to obtain a closed form evaluation of certain series involving Riemann's zeta function.

Let a polynomial $f \in \mathbb{Z}[X_1,\ldots,X_n]$ be given. The square sieve can provide an upper bound for the number of integral $\mathbf{x} \in [-B,B]^n$ such that $f(\mathbf{x})$ is a perfect square. Recently this has been generalized…

A new polynomial sieve is presented and used to show that almost all integers have at most one representation as a sum of two values of a given polynomial of degree at least 3.

In this paper we use Euler-Seidel matrices method to find out some properties of exponential and geometric polynomials and numbers. Some known results are reproved and some new results are obtained.

Let K be a multiquadratic number field. We investigate the average dimension of 2-Selmer groups over K for the family of all elliptic curves over the rational numbers (ordered by height). We give upper and lower bounds for this average. In…

In this article, we establish a large sieve inequality for additive characters to moduli in the range of appropriate integer polynomials of degree two. As an application, we derive a weighted zero-density estimate for twists of…

We provide some general conditions which ensure that a system of inequalities involving homogeneous polynomials with coefficients in a S-adic field has nontrivial S-integral solutions. The proofs are based on the strong approximation…

We establish the Hardy-Littlewood property (\`a la Borovoi-Rudnick) for Zariski open subsets in affine quadrics of the form $q(x_1,\cdots,x_n)=m$, where $q$ is a non-degenerate integral quadratic form in $n\geqslant 3$ variables and $m$ is…

We present integral representations of solutions to division problems involving matrices of polynomials in several complex variables. We also find estimates of the polynomial degree of the solutions by means of careful degree estimates of…

We examine the solubility of a diagonal, translation invariant, quadratic equation system in arbitrary (dense) subsets A \subset Z and show quantitative bounds on the size of A if there are no non-trivial solutions. We use the circle method…

We investigate the probability that a random quadratic form in ${\mathbb{Z}}[x_1,...,x_n]$ has a totally isotropic subspace of a given dimension. We show that this global probability is a product of local probabilities. Our main result…

We improve Irving's method of the double-sieve by using the DHR sieve. By extending the upper and lower sieve functions into their respective non-elementary ranges, we are able to make improvements on the previous records on the number of…
