We study Diophantine equations of type f(x)=g(y), where both f and g have at least two distinct critical points and equal critical values at at most two distinct critical points. Some classical families of polynomials (f_n)_n are such that…

Let $(a_1,\dots, a_m)$ be an $m$-tuple of positive, pairwise distinct, integers. If for all $1\leq i< j \leq m$ the prime divisors of $a_ia_j+1$ come from the same fixed set $S$, then we call the $m$-tuple $S$-Diophantine. In this note we…

Let $G$ be a simple, connected and finite graph with order $n$. Denote the independence number, edge independence number and total independence number by $\alpha(G), \alpha'(G)$ and $\alpha"(G)$ respectively. This paper establishes a…

It is an old problem in the area of Diophantine definability to determine whether $\mathbb{Q}$ is Diophantine in $\mathbb{Q}(z)$. We provide a positive answer conditional on two standard conjectures on elliptic surfaces.

Let $\gamma(G)$ and $\gamma_t(G)$ denote the domination number and the total domination number, respectively, of a graph $G$ with no isolated vertices. It is well-known that $\gamma_t(G) \leq 2\gamma(G)$. We provide a characterization of a…

Let $d$ be a positive integer. Let $p$ be a prime number. Let $\alpha$ be a real algebraic number of degree $d+1$. We establish that there exist a positive constant $c$ and infinitely many algebraic numbers $\xi$ of degree $d$ such that…

Let $(X, d)$ be a compact metric space, and let $Q \subset X$ be countable. Given functions $R: Q \to \mathbb{R}^+$ and $\phi: \mathbb{R}^+ \to \mathbb{R}^+$, we consider the set $E(Q, R, \phi)$ of points $x \in X$ that ``hit'' the…

We introduce diophantine approximation groups and their associated Kronecker foliations, using them to provide new algebraic and geometric characterizations of $K$-linear and algebraic dependence. As a consequence we find reformulations --…

Let $D$ be a closed unit $2$-disk on the plane centered at the origin $O$, and $F$ be a smooth vector field such that $O$ is a unique singular point of $F$ and all other orbits of $F$ are simple closed curves wrapping once around $O$. Thus…

We express the tau constant of a metrized graph in terms of the discrete Laplacian matrix and its pseudo inverse.

We discuss the discrete spectrum of the Hamiltonian describing a two-dimensional quantum particle interacting with an infinite family of point interactions. We suppose that the latter are arranged into a star-shaped graph with N arms and a…

We prove central limit theorems for Diophantine approximations with congruence conditions and for inhomogeneous Diophantine approximations following the approach of Bj\"{o}rklund and Gorodnik. The main tools are the cumulant method and…

An isolated point on an algebraic curve is a closed point not belonging to a collection of points of the same degree parametrized by $\mathbf{P}^1$ or a positive rank abelian subvariety of the curve's Jacobian. We study the sets of…

We carry out a survey on curves defined over finite fields that are Diophantine stable; that is, with the property that the set of points of the curve is not altered under a proper field extension. First, we derive some general results of…

We recursively define a sequence $\{F_{n,k}\}_{n,k\in\mathbb N }$ and we prove that such sequence contains only the symbols $\{0,1\}.$ We investigate some number-theoretic properties of such sequence and of the way it can be generated. The…

Let $X = G/\Gamma$, where $G$ is a Lie group and $\Gamma$ is a lattice in $G$, and let $U$ be a subset of $X$ whose complement is compact. We use the exponential mixing results for diagonalizable flows on $X$ to give upper estimates for the…

The purpose of this paper is to continue studying the properties of $\gamma$-regular open sets introduced and explored in [6]. The concept of $\gamma$-closed spaces have also been defined and discussed.

Let $c > 1$ and $0 < \gamma < 1$ be real, with $c \notin \mathbb N$. We study the solubility of the Diophantine inequality \[ \left| p_1^c + p_2^c + \dots + p_s^c - N \right| < \varepsilon \] in Piatetski-Shapiro primes $p_1, p_2, \dots,…

A connected graph $\Gamma$ of diameter ${\rm diam}(\Gamma) \ge \ell$ is $\ell$-distance-balanced if $|W_{xy}(\Gamma)|=|W_{yx}(\Gamma)|$ for every $x,y\in V(\Gamma)$ with $d_{\Gamma}(x,y)=\ell$, where $W_{xy}(\Gamma)$ is the set of vertices…

We consider point sets in the affine plane $\mathbb{F}_q^2$ where each Euclidean distance of two points is an element of $\mathbb{F}_q$. These sets are called integral point sets and were originally defined in $m$-dimensional Euclidean…
