Given positive integers $a_1,...,a_n$ with $\gcd(a_1,...,a_n) = 1$, we call an integer t representable if there exist nonnegative integers $m_1,...,m_n$ such that $t = m_1 a_1 + ... + m_n a_n$. In this paper, we discuss the linear…

Results due to Druel and Beauville show that the blowup of the intermediate Jacobian of a smooth cubic threefold X in the Fano surface of lines can be identified with a moduli space of semistable sheaves of Chern classes c_1=0, c_2=2, c_3=0…

We solve the Diophantine equation $Y^2=X^3+k$ for all nonzero integers $k$ with $|k| \leq 10^7$. Our approach uses a classical connection between these equations and cubic Thue equations. The latter can be treated algorithmically via lower…

The search of solutions of the Diophantine equation $x^3 + y^3 + z^3 = k$ for $k<1000$ has been extended with bounds of $|x|$, $|y|$ and $|z|$ up to $10^{15}$. The first solution for $k=74$ is reported. This only leaves $k=33$ and $k=42$…

The Pascal matrix, which is related to Pascal's triangle, appears in many places in the theory of uniform distribution and in many other areas of mathematics. Examples are the construction of low-discrepancy sequences as well as normal…

Let a be a nonzero integer. If a is not congruent to 4 or 5 modulo 9 then there is no Brauer-Manin obstruction to the existence of integers x, y, z such that x^3+y^3+z^3=a. In addition, there is no Brauer-Manin obstruction to the existence…
