Let $R$ be a finite ring (with unit, not necessarily commutative) and define the paraboloid $P = \{(x_1, \dots, x_d)\in R^d|x_d = x_1^2 + \dots + x_{d-1}^2\}.$ Suppose that for a sequence of finite rings of size tending to infinity, the…

This paper focuses on twisted affine quantum algebras: an integer form is chosen, and the center of its specialization at odd roots of 1 (of order bigger than 3 in case D_4^{(3)}, bigger than 1 otherwise) is described.

We establish the existence of many holomorphic Hecke eigenforms $f$ of large weight $k$ for the full modular group, for which the least positive integer $n_f$ such that $\lambda_f(n_f)<0$ satisfies $n_f \ge (\log k)^{1-o(1)}.$ This is…

We investigate numerical differentiation formulas on irregular centers in two or more variables that are exact for polynomials of a given order and minimize an absolute seminorm of the weight vector. Error bounds are given in terms of a…

Let $f$ be a half-integral weight cusp form of level $4N$ for odd and squarefree $N$ and let $a(n)$ denote its $n^{\rm th}$ normalized Fourier coefficient. Assuming that all the coefficients $a(n)$ are real, we study the sign of $a(n)$ when…

It is well known that Clifford (geometric) algebra offers a geometric interpretation for square roots of -1 in the form of blades that square to minus 1. This extends to a geometric interpretation of quaternions as the side face bivectors…

New families of nonnegative biquadratic forms that have 8, 9 or 10 real zeros in $\mathbb{P}^2\times \mathbb{P}^2$ are constructed. These are the first examples with 8, 9 or 10 real zeros. It is known that nonnegative biquadratic forms with…

Given a newform with the Fourier expansion $\sum_{n=1}^\infty b(n)q^n\in\mathbb Z[[q]]$, a prime $p$ is said to be non-ordinary if $p\mid b(p)$. We exemplify several newforms of weight 4 for which the latter divisibility implies a stronger…

A $\textit{square-full}$ number is a positive integer for which all its prime divisors divide itself at least twice. The counting function of square-full integers of the form $f(n)$ for $n\leqslant N$ is denoted by…

Continuing on from recent results of Brumer-Kramer and of Schoof, we show that there exist non-zero semistable Abelian varieties over Z[1/N], with N squarefree, if and only if N is not in the set {1,2,3,5,6,7,10,13}. Our results are…

The absolute separation of a polynomial is the minimum nonzero difference between the absolute values of its roots. In the case of polynomials with integer coefficients, it can be bounded from below in terms of the degree and the height…

We obtain new lower bounds on the number of smooth squarefree integers up to $x$ in residue classes modulo a prime $p$, relatively large compared to $x$, which in some ranges of $p$ and $x$ improve that of A. Balog and C. Pomerance (1992).…

We study the signs of the Fourier coefficients of a newform. Let $f$ be a normalized newform of weight $k$ for $\Gamma_0(N)$. Let $a_f(n)$ be the $n$th Fourier coefficient of $f$. For any fixed positive integer $m$, we study the…

We use pseudodeformation theory to study the analogue of Mazur's Eisenstein ideal with certain squarefree levels. Given a prime number $p>3$ and a squarefree number $N$ satisfying certain conditions, we study the Eisenstein part of the…

Let $g>1$ be an integer and $f(X)\in{\mathbb Z}[X]$ a polynomial of positive degree with no multiple roots, and put $u(n)=f(g^n)$. In this note, we study the sequence of quadratic fields ${\mathbb Q}(\sqrt{u(n)}\,)$ as $n$ varies over the…

In this paper, we prove a number of results providing either necessary or sufficient conditions guaranteeing that the number of real roots of real polynomials of a given degree is either less or greater than a given number. We also provide…

We evaluate the number of monic polynomials (of arbitrary degree $N$) the zeros of which equal their coefficients when these are allowed to take arbitrary complex values. In the following, we call polynomials with this property {\em…

Let $K$ be a number field of degree $n$ over ${\mathbb Q}$. Then the 4-rank of the strict class group of $K$ is at least ${\text{rank}_2 \, } ({ E_{K}^{+} } / E_K^2) - \lfloor n /2 \rfloor$ where $E_K$ and ${ E_{K}^{+} }$ denote the units…

We study locally finite varieties (=primitive classes) of linear algebras over finite fields. We do not assume that our algebras are associative or Lie. We are interested in the basic properties of finite algebras in these varieties such…
