A unified treatment is given of low-weight modular forms on \Gamma_0(N), N=2,3,4, that have Eisenstein series representations. For each N, certain weight-1 forms are shown to satisfy a coupled system of nonlinear differential equations,…

This is the third in a series of three papers math.DG/0111324, math.DG/0111326 studying special Lagrangian 3-submanifolds (SL 3-folds) N in C^3 invariant under the U(1)-action (z_1,z_2,z_3) --> (gz_1,g^{-1}z_2,z_3) for unit complex numbers…

In [Li and Chen, A new characterization of the simple group A_1(p^n), Sib. Math. J., 2012], it is proved that the simple group A_1(p^n) is uniquely determined by the set of orders of its maximal abelian subgroups. Also in [Momen and…

Let F be a totally real number field of odd degree. We prove several purely local criteria for the asymptotic Fermat's Last Theorem to hold over F, and also for the non-existence of solutions to the unit equation over F. For example, if 2…

We give unified modular proofs to all of Gosper's identities on the $q$-constant $\Pi_q$. We also confirm Gosper's observation that for any distinct positive integers $n_1,\cdots,n_m$ with $m\geq 3$, $\Pi_{q^{n_1}}$, $\cdots$,…

It is well known that every modular form~$f$ on a discrete subgroup $\Gamma\leqslant \textrm{SL}(2, \mathbb R)$ satisfies a third-order nonlinear ODE that expresses algebraic dependence of the functions~$f$, $f'$, $f''$ and~$f'''$. These…

We prove, for a sufficiently small subset $\mathcal{A}$ of a prime residue field, an estimate on the number of solutions to the equation $(a_1-a_2)(a_3-a_4) = (a_5-a_6)(a_7-a_8)$ with all variables in $\mathcal{A}$. We then derive new…

Recent results of Freitas, Kraus, Sengun and Siksek give sufficient criteria for the asymptotic Fermat's Last Theorem to hold over various number fields. In this paper, we prove asymptotic results about the solutions of the Diophantine…
