For any measure preserving system $(X,\mathcal{X},\mu,T)$ and $A\in\mathcal{X}$ with $\mu(A)>0$, we show that there exist infinitely many primes $p$ such that $\mu\bigl(A\cap T^{-(p-1)}A\cap T^{-2(p-1)}A\bigr) > 0$ (the same holds with…

This paper is the continuation of \cite{htl}, where we deal with Lucas sequences. Here we study integers represented by integer sequences which satisfy binary recursive relations. In case of non-degenerate sequences we give bounds for the…

In this work, we show high order splitting methods of integration without negative steps, allowing us to solve numerically irreversible problems, like reaction-diffusion equations. The methods consist in a suitable affine combinations of…

The paper studies the supersingular locus of the characteristic p moduli space of principally polarized abelian 8-folds that are equipped with an action of a maximal order in a quaternion algebra, that is non-split at the infinite place,…

We provide lower bounds for p-adic valuations of multisums of factorial ratios which satisfy an Ap\'ery-like recurrence relation: these include Ap\'ery, Domb, Franel numbers, the numbers of abelian squares over a finite alphabet, and…

Divide-and-conquer dividing by a half recurrences, of the form $x_n =a\cdot x_{\left\lceil{n}/{2}\right\rceil}+a\cdot x_{\left\lfloor{n}/{2}\right\rfloor}+p(n)$, $n\geq 2$, appear in many areas of applied mathematics, from the analysis of…

We enumerate the number of isoclinism classes of semi-extraspecial $p$-groups with derived subgroup of order $p^2$. To do this, we enumerate $\text{GL}(2, p)$-orbits of sets of irreducible, monic polynomials in $\mathbb{F}_p[x]$. Along the…

Hooley proved that if $f\in \Bbb Z [X]$ is irreducible of degree $\ge 2$, then the fractions $\{ r/n\}$, $0<r<n$ with $f(r)\equiv 0\pmod n$, are uniformly distributed in $(0,1)$. In this paper we study such problems for reducible…

Let $ (P_n)_{n\ge 0}$ be the sequence of Perrin numbers defined by ternary relation $ P_0=3 $, $ P_1=0 $, $ P_2=2 $, and $ P_{n+3}=P_{n+1}+P_n $ for all $ n\ge 0 $. In this paper, we use Baker's theory for nonzero linear forms in logarithms…

In this article, we try to explain and unify standard divisibility tests found in various books. We then look at recurring decimals, and list a few of their properties. We show how to compute the number of digits in the recurring part of…

For primes $p$ and $\ell$ such that $\ell$ divides $p-1$, Hirano and Morishita constructed a nonabelian Galois extension of the function field $\mathbb{F}_p(t)$ whose degree is $\ell^3$ and Galois group is of Heisenberg type. Here we…

Let $L$ be the language of rings. We provide an axiomatization of the $L$-theories of quaternions and octonions and characterize their models: they coincide, up to isomorphism, with quaternion and octonion algebras over a real closed field,…

The concept of scattered polynomials is generalized to those of exceptional scattered sequences which are shown to be the natural algebraic counterpart of $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$-linear MRD codes. The first infinite family in the first…

In 2015, Abatzoglou, Silverberg, Sutherland, and Wong presented a framework for primality proving algorithms for special sequences of integers using an elliptic curve with complex multiplication. They applied their framework to obtain…

Wall published a paper in 1960 on the Fibonacci sequence where he derived many results concerning the period and prime power divisibility modulo m. His periodicity results have been generalized to second order linear recurrences. Here we…

We attempt to quantify the exact proportion of monic $p$-adic polynomials of degree $n$ which are irreducible. We find an exact answer to this when $n$ is prime and $p \neq n$, and also when $n = 4$ and $p \neq 2$. Our answers are rational…

It is proved that for any finite dimensional representation of a prime order group over the field of rational numbers, polynomial invariants of degree at most $3$ separate the orbits. A result providing an upper degree bound for separating…

The paper considers algorithmic properties of classical and non-classical first-order logics and theories in bounded languages. The main idea is to prove the undecidability of various fragments of classical and non-classical first-order…

Following work of V\'elez, we explicitly describe the splitting of the integral prime 2 in the radical extension $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[n]{a})$, where $x^n-a$ is an irreducible polynomial in $\mathbb{Z}[x]$. With previous work of the second…

The primary focus of this paper is overpartitions, a type of partition that plays a significant role in $q$-series theory. In 2006, Treneer discovered an explicit infinite family of congruences of overpartitions modulo $5$. In our research,…
