It is important in drawing techniques to find combinations of two straight lines and their angle bisectors whose slopes are all rational numbers. This problem is reduced to solving the Diophantine equation $(a-c)^2(b^2+1) = (b-c)^2(a^2+1).$…

The solvability of Diophantine quartic equations is a contemporary area of interest due to its connection with generalized Fermat's equation. In this work, we are interested in the integer solutions of a similar Diophantine equation p u^2 =…

In this paper we present a new approach to counting the proportion of hyperelliptic curves of genus $g$ defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with a given $a$-number. In characteristic three this method gives exact probabilities for…

We study small non-trivial solutions of quadratic congruences of the form $x_1^2+\alpha_2x_2^2+\alpha_3x_3^2\equiv 0 \bmod{q}$, with $q$ being an odd natural number, in an average sense. This extends previous work of the authors in which…

By the theory of elliptic curves, we investigate the nontrivial rational parametric solutions of the Diophantine equation $f(x)f(y)=f(z)^n$, where $n=1,2$ and $f(X)$ are some simple Laurent polynomials.

We give a characterization of all three points in $\mathbb R^4$ with integer coordinates which are at the same Euclidean distance apart. In three dimension the problem is characterized in terms of solutions of the Diophantine equations…

Given a nondegenerate ternary form $f=f(x_1,x_2,x_3)$ of degree 4 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, we use the geometry of K3 surfaces to construct a certain positive-dimensional family of irreducible…

Let $Q(x,y)$ be a quadratic form with discriminant $D\neq 0$. We obtain non trivial upper bound estimates for the number of solutions of the congruence $Q(x,y)\equiv\lambda \pmod{p}$, where $p$ is a prime and $x,y$ lie in certain intervals…

By finding all integral points on certain elliptic and hyperelliptic curves we completely solve the Diophantine equation $\binom{n}{k}=\binom{m}{l}+d$ for $-3\leq d\leq 3$ and $(k,l)\in\{(2,3),\; (2,4),\;(2,5),\; (2,6),\; (2,8),\; (3,4),\;…

The classical Pell equation can be extended to the cubic case considering the elements of norm one in $Z[\sqrt[3]{r}]$, which satisfy $x^3 + r y^3 + r^2 z^3 - 3 r x y z = 1$. The solution of the cubic Pell equation is harder than the…

We study new families of curves that are suitable for efficiently parametrizing their moduli spaces. We explicitly construct such families for smooth plane quartics in order to determine unique representatives for the isomorphism classes of…

Let $\mathfrak B_g$ denote the moduli space of primitively polarized $K3$ surfaces $(S,H)$ of genus $g$ over $\mathbb C$. It is well-known that $\mathfrak B_g$ is irreducible and that there are only finitely many rational curves in $|H|$…

We consider the average-case complexity of some otherwise undecidable or open Diophantine problems. More precisely, consider the following: (I) Given a polynomial f in Z[v,x,y], decide the sentence \exists v \forall x \exists y f(v,x,y)=0,…
