We show that the field of complex numbers $\mathbb C$ contains non-zero infinitesimals by observing that $\mathbb C$ contains non-Archimedean subfields. Our observation is based on an old theorem in algebra due to E. Steinitz, discussed in…

One of the classical problems in group theory is determining the set of positive integers $n$ such that every group of order $n$ has a particular property $P$, such as cyclic or abelian. We first present the Sylow theorems and the idea of…

We classify essential algebras whose irredundant non-refinable covers consist of primal algebras. The proof is obtained by constructing one to one correspondence between such algebras and partial orders on finite sets. Further, we prove…

Given a random real quadratic field from $\{ \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{p}\,) ~|~ p \text{ primes} \}$, the conjectural probability $\mathbb{P}(h=q)$ that it has class number $q$ is given for all positive odd integers $q$. Some related conjectures of…

In the paper "An Abelian Loop for Non-Composites" (arXiv:110.14716), we introduced a group-like structure consisting of odd prime numbers and 1, with properties that allowed us to prove analogous results to well known theorems in Number…

Murty proved that for all sufficiently large $X$ there exist at least ${c(\ell,\eps) X^{1/{4\ell}-\eps}}$ real quadratic fields with class number divisible by $\ell$ and discriminant not exceeding $X$ in absolute value. We extend this this…

Extending the results of [Asian J. Math. 2019], in [Doc. Math. \textbf{21}, 2016] we calculated explicitly the number of isomorphism classes of superspecial abelian surfaces over an arbitrary finite field of \textit{odd} degree over the…

In this article we aim to develop from first principles a theory of sum sets and partial sum sets, which are defined analogously to difference sets and partial difference sets. We obtain non-existence results and characterisations. In…

The main motivation for this article is to explore the connections between the existence of certain combinatorial patterns (as in van der Corputs's theorem on arithmetic progressions of length $3$) with well-known tools and theorems for…

Theories of classification distinguish classes with some good structure theorem from those for which none is possible. Some classes (dense linear orders, for instance) are non-classifiable in general, but are classifiable when we consider…

Weinberger in 1972, proved that the ring of integers of a number field with unit rank at least $1$ is a principal ideal domain if and only if it is a Euclidean domain, provided the generalised Riemann hypothesis holds. Lenstra extended the…

Since the mathematicians of ancient Greece until Fermat, since Gauss until today; the way how the primes along the numerical straight line are distributed has become perhaps the most difficult math problem; many people believe that their…

Let $\ell\geq 5$ be prime. Let $\mathcal{F}_\ell$ be the collection of (isomorphism classes of) pure number fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[\ell]{a})$ of degree $\ell$, ordered by the absolute value of their discriminant. In 2018, Benli proved a…

Let $F$ be a totally real field with ring of integers $O_F$, and $D$ be a totally definite quaternion algebra over $F$. A well-known formula established by Eichler and then extended by K\"orner computes the class number of any $O_F$-order…

For $x\ge0$ let $\pi(x)$ be the number of primes not exceeding $x$. The asymptotic behaviors of the prime-counting function $\pi(x)$ and the $n$-th prime $p_n$ have been studied intensively in analytic number theory. Surprisingly, we find…

Surprisingly, the class numbers of cyclotomic fields have only been determined for fields of small conductor, e.g. for prime conductors up to 67, due to the problem of finding the "plus part," i.e. the class number of the maximal real…
