For a prime power $q$, we show that the discriminants of monic polynomials in $\mathbb{F}_q[x]$ of a fixed degree $m$ are equally distributed if $\gcd(q-1,m(m-1))=2$ when $q$ is odd and $\gcd(q-1,m(m-1))=1$ if $q$ is even. A theorem in the…

Let m be a cube-free positive integer and let p be a prime such that p does not divide m. In this paper we find the number of conjugacy classes of completely reducible solvable cube-free subgroups in GL(2, q) of order m, where q is a power…

Let $k\ge 1$ be an integer, and let $(U_n)$ be the Lucas sequence of the first kind defined by \begin{equation*}\label{Eq:Lucas} U_0=0,\quad U_1=1\quad \mbox{and} \quad U_n=kU_{n-1}+U_{n-2} \quad \mbox{ for $n\ge 2$}. \end{equation*} It is…

For a fixed abelian group $H$, let $N_H(X)$ be the number of square-free positive integers $d\leq X$ such that H is a subgroup of $CL(\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-d}))$. We obtain asymptotic lower bounds for $N_H(X)$ as $X\to\infty$ in two cases:…

In this note, we prove by using T. Estermann's and S. Dimitrov's arguments with an elementary inequality that there are infinitely many $n$ for which all of the numbers $n^2+1,n^2+2$ and $n^2+3$ are squarefree. We also improve the error…

We study real quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{D})$ such that, for a given rational integer $m$, all $m$-multiples of totally positive integers are sums of squares. We prove quite sharp necessary and sufficient conditions for this to…

Let $Q_d$ be the $d$-dimensional Hamming cube and $N=|V(Q_d)|=2^d$. An independent set $I$ in $Q_d$ is called balanced if $I$ contains the same number of even and odd vertices. We show that the logarithm of the number of balanced…

Let f\in \mathbb{Z}[x,y] be an irreducible homogeneous polynomial of degree 3. We show that f(x,y) has an even number of prime factors as often as an odd number of prime factors.

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\chi$ be an irreducible character of $G$. The codegree of $\chi$ is defined as $\chi^c(1) =\frac{|G: \ker\chi|}{\chi(1)}$. In a paper by Gao, Wang, and Chen, it was shown that $G$ cannot satisfy the condition…

An effective upper bound is established for the least non-trivial integer solution to the system of cubic forms \[ \begin{cases} F = c_{1}x_1^3 + c_{2}x_2^3 + \cdots + c_{n}x_n^3 = 0, \\ G = d_{1}x_1^3 + d_{2}x_2^3 + \cdots + d_{n}x_n^3 =…

For a bridgeless cubic graph $G$, $m_3(G)$ is the ratio of the maximum number of edges of $G$ covered by the union of $3$ perfect matchings to $|E(G)|$. We prove that for any $r\in [4/5, 1)$, there exist infinitely many cubic graphs $G$…

Fix positive integers d;m such that $(m^2+4m+6)/6 \leq d < (m^2+4m+6)/3$ (the so-called Range A for space curves). Let G(d;m) be the maximal genus of a smooth and connected curve, of degree d, $C \subset P^3$ such that $h^0(I_C(m-1)) = 0$.…

We show that the number of elements generating a squarefree monomial ideal up to radical can always be bounded above in terms of the number of its minimal monomial generators and the maximal height of its minimal primes.

We give a complete classification of modular categories of dimension $p^3m$ where $p$ is prime and $m$ is a square-free integer. When $p$ is odd, all such categories are pointed. For $p=2$ one encounters modular categories with the same…

Let $q$ be a prime power. We construct stable polynomials of the form $b^{m-1}(x+a)^m+c(x+a)+d$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ for $m=2,3,4$ by Capelli's lemma. When $m=3$ and $q$ is even, we confirm the conjecture of Ahmadi and…

We show that for any polynomial $f: \mathbb{Z}\to \mathbb{Z}$ with positive leading coefficient and irreducible over $\mathbb{Q}$, if $N$ is large enough then there are two strings of consecutive positive integers $I_{1}=\{n_1-m,\ldots,…

For a positive integer $n$, let $[n]$ denote $\{1, \ldots, n\}$. For a 2-dimensional integer lattice point $\mathbf{b}$ and positive integers $k\geq 2$ and $n$, a \textit{$k$-sum $\mathbf{b}$-free set} of $[n]\times [n]$ is a subset $S$ of…

Let $n$ be a squarefree positive odd integer. We will show that there exist infinitely many imaginary quadratic number fields with discriminant divisible by $n$ and-at the same time-having an element of order $n$ in the class group. We then…

For any given positive integer $m$ we construct certain totally positive algebraic integers $\alpha$ of a real bi-quadratic field $K$ and obtain some necessary conditions for which $m\alpha$ can not be represented as sum of integral…
