We consider several old problems involving the number of prime divisors function $\omega(n)$, as well as the related functions $\Omega(n)$ and $\tau(n)$. Firstly, we show that there are infinitely many positive integers $n$ such that…

In this note, we prove that for every two positive integers $m \geq n \geq 9$, there exist $n$ positive rational numbers whose product is 1 and sum is $m$.

Let $m$ be a natural number, and let $\mathcal{Q}$ be a set containing at least $\exp(C m)$ primes. We show that one can find infinitely many strings of $m$ consecutive primes each of which has some $q\in\mathcal{Q}$ as a primitive root,…

Fix a prime $p\geq 11$. We show that there exists a positive integer $m$ such that any subset of $\mathbb{F}_p^n\times\mathbb{F}_p^n$ containing no nontrivial configurations of the form $(x,y),(x,y+z),(x,y+2z),(x+z,y)$ must have density…

Let A and M be nonempty sets of positive integers. A partition of the positive integer n with parts in A and multiplicities in M is a representation of n in the form n = \sum_{a\in A} m_a a, where m_a is in M U {0} for all a in A, and m_a…

Suppose that $(U_{n})_{n \geq 0}$ is a binary recurrence sequence and has a dominant root $\alpha$ with $\alpha>1$ and the discriminant $D$ is square-free. In this paper, we study the Diophantine equation $U_n + U_m = x^q$ in integers $n…

Using groups with triality we obtain some general multiplication formulas in Moufang loops, construct Moufang extensions of abelian groups, and describe the structure of minimal extensions for finite simple Moufang loops over abelian…

Let $F_n$ be the $n$-th Fibonacci number. In this paper, we study the Diophantine equation $F_n+F_m=p^xq^y$ in nonnegative integers $n\ge m$, $x$ and $y$, where $p$ and $q$ are fixed distinct prime numbers. We determine all pairs of primes…

We classify all solution triples with Fibonacci components to the equation $a^2+b^2+c^2=3abc+m,$ for positive $m$. We show that for $m=2$ they are precisely $(1,F(b),F(b+2))$, with even $b$; for $m=21$, there exist exactly two Fibonacci…

In Pacific J. Math. 292 (2018), 223-238, Shareshian and Woodroofe asked if for every positive integer $n$ there exist primes $p$ and $q$ such that, for all integers $k$ with $1 \leq k \leq n-1$, the binomial coefficient $\binom{n}{k}$ is…

We prove results about the asymptotic formulae in short intervals for the average number of representations of integers of the forms $n=p_{1}^{\ell_1}+p_{2}^{\ell_2}$, with $\ell_1, \ell_2\in\{2,3\}$, $\ell_1+\ell_2\le 5$ are fixed…

For any prime number p and any positive real number {\alpha}, we construct a finitely generated group {\Gamma} with p-gradient equal to {\alpha}. This construction is used to show that there exist uncountably many pairwise non-commensurable…

We consider polynomial equations, or systems of polynomial equations, with integer coefficients, modulo prime numbers $p$. We offer an elementary approach based on a counting method. The outcome is a weak form of the Lang-Weil lower bound…

We obtain an upper bound on the number of extended irreducible q-ary Goppa codes of degree $r$ and length $q^n+1$, where $q=p^t$ and $n$ and $r>2$ are prime numbers.

We prove new formulas and congruences for $p(n,k):=$ the number of partitions of $n$ into $k$ parts and $q(n,k):=$ the number of partitions of $n$ into $k$ distinct parts. Also, we give lower and upper bounds for the density of the set…

Zhang has shown there are infinitely many intervals of bounded length containing two primes. It appears that the current techniques cannot prove that there are infinitely many intervals of bounded length containing three primes, even if…

Motivated by recent studies of large Mallows$(q)$ permutations, we propose a class of random permutations of $\mathbb{N}_{+}$ and of $\mathbb{Z}$, called regenerative permutations. Many previous results of the limiting Mallows$(q)$…

We compute the orders of free commutative Moufand loops of exponent 3 with $n\leq 7$ free generators and find embeddings of such loops into a loop of invertible elements of the free commutative alternative algebra with identity $x^3=0$.

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…
