This paper studies the structure of finite hyperfields $H$, and finds a subtle pattern in their addition operation. Consider the class $\mathcal{H}$ of all hyperfields with a given multiplicative group on $H^\times = H - \{0\}$ and given…

We discuss the phenomenon where an element in a number field is not integrally represented by a given positive definite quadratic form, but becomes integrally represented by this form over a totally real extension of odd degree. We prove…

Let K be a subfield of the real field, D be a discrete subset of K and f : D^n -> K be a function such that f(D^n) is somewhere dense. Then (K,f) defines the set of integers. We present several applications of this result. We show that K…

Parafermions of order two and three are shown to be the fundamental tool to construct superspaces related to cubic and quartic extensions of the Poincar\'e algebra. The corresponding superfields are constructed, and some of their main…

Let $F$ be a field of characteristic not $2$ with finitely many square classes. Using combinatorial arguments applied to objects related to vector spaces over finite fields, we deduce an upper bound for the number of Pfister forms over $F$.…

We use a generalization of a construction by Ziegler to show that for any field $F$ and any countable collection of countable subsets $A_i \subseteq F, i \in \calI \subset \Z_{>0}$ there exist infinitely many fields $K$ of arbitrary…

We prove that there are infinitely many integers $n$ such that $n$ and $n+1$ have the same number of distinct prime divisors.

It is shown that the sum of class numbers of orders in totally complex quartic fields with no real quadratic subfield obeys an asymptotic law similar to the prime numbers, as the bound on the regulators tends to infinity. Here only orders…

A Heffter array $H(n;k)$ is an $n\times n$ matrix such that each row and column contains $k$ filled cells, each row and column sum is divisible by $2nk+1$ and either $x$ or $-x$ appears in the array for each integer $1\leq x\leq nk$.…

Let $L$ be a set of lines of an affine space over a field and let $S$ be a set of points with the property that every line of $L$ is incident with at least $N$ points of $S$. Let $D$ be the set of directions of the lines of $L$ considered…

We discuss an elementary, yet unsolved, problem of Niederreiter concerning the enumeration of a class of subspaces of finite dimensional vector spaces over finite fields. A short and self-contained account of some recent progress on this…

We introduce the notion of saturated sets of primes of an algebraic number field and prove an analogue of Riemann's existence theorem for the decomposition groups of infinite stably saturated sets of primes.

We develop an axiomatic set theory -- the Theory of Hyperfinite Sets THS, which is based on the idea of existence of proper subclasses of big finite sets. We demonstrate how theorems of classical continuous mathematics can be transfered to…

We discuss continued fractions on real quadratic number fields of class number 1. If the field has the property of being 2-stage euclidean, a generalization of the euclidean algorithm can be used to compute these continued fractions.…

We prove that, for every integer $n \ge 2$, a finite or infinite countable group $G$ can be embedded into a 2-generated group $H$ in such a way that the solvability of quadratic equations of length at most $n$ is preserved, i.e., every…

In this paper, we prove the number of countable models of a countable supersimple theory is either 1 or infinite. This result is an extension of Lachlan's theorem on a superstable theory.

Cohn asks if for every real quadratic field Q(m) with discriminant d there exists a non-maximal order corresponding to f > 1 such that the relative class number Hd(f) = h(f2d)/h(d) is one. We prove that when m = 46 (and in seven other…

Let F be a field of characteristic different from 2. The u-invariant and the Hasse number of a field F are classical and important field invariants pertaining to quadratic forms. These invariants measure the suprema of dimensions of…

A theorem of Erdos asserts that every infinite subset of Euclidean n-space R^n has a subset of the same cardinality having no repeated distances. This theorem is generalized here as follows: If (R^n,E) is an algebraic hypergraph that does…

This article deals with the second order linear differential equations with entire coefficients. We prove some results involving conditions on coefficients so that the order of growth of every non-trivial solution is infinite.
