Every natural number greater than two may be written as the sum of a prime and a square-free number. We establish several generalisations of this, by placing divisibility conditions on the square-free number.

We estimate the number of primes represented by a general quadratic polynomial with discriminant $\Delta$, assuming that the corresponding real character is exceptional.

An elementary approach is shown which derives the values of the Gauss sums over $\mathbb F_{p^r}$, $p$ odd, of a cubic character without using Davenport-Hasse's theorem. New links between Gauss sums over different field extensions are shown…

For polynomials of degree two over finite fields, we present an improvement of Fitzgerald's characterization (Finite Fields Appl. 9(1):117-121, 2003). We then use this new characterization to obtain an explicit, complete, and simple…

We generalize the definition and properties of root systems to complex reflection groups - roots become rank one projective modules over the ring of integers of a number field k. In the irreducible case, we provide a classification of root…

Hilbert's Satz 90 tells us that for a given cyclic extension $K/k$, a unit of norm $1$ in $K$ can be written as a quotient of conjugate elements in $K$. For the extensions $\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_p)/\mathbb{Q}$ with $p$ prime $> 3$, Newman proved…

We give an upper bound for the norm of the determinant of additively indecomposable, totally positive definite quadratic forms defined over the ring of integers of totally real number fields. We apply these results to find lower and upper…

We obtain new uniform upper bounds for the (non necessarily symmetric) tensor rank of the multiplication in the extensions of the finite fields $\F_q$ for any prime or prime power $q\geq2$; moreover these uniform bounds lead to new…

Given a map f:Z-->Z and an initial argument alpha, we can iterate the map to get a finite set of iterates modulo a prime p. In particular, for a quadratic map f(z)=z^2 +c, c constant, work by Pollard suggests that this set should have…

Let $p$ be a prime number. If a number field $k$ has at least one complex place, there are infinitely many $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extensions over $k$, and some authors studied the behavior of Iwasawa invariants of these $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extensions.…

It is shown that the sum of class numbers of orders in totally complex quartic fields with no real quadratic subfield obeys an asymptotic law similar to the prime numbers, as the bound on the regulators tends to infinity. Here only orders…

The subset of quadratic primes {p = an^2 + bn + c : n => 1} generated by an irreducible polynomial f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c over the integers is widely believed to be an unbounded subset of prime numbers. This note provides the details of a…

For a real abelian field and for an odd prime p splitting in the field, we study a map between the p-parts of the class group and of the quotient of units modulo Cyclotomic Units, respectively, along the cyclotomic Z_p-extension of the…

The paper presents a classification of quadratic extension algebras, also known as algebras of degree 2, as well as several characterizations of quaternion algebras over a field (of characteristic not 2). The presentation is not restricted…

In this paper, a method for constructing a near optimal normal basis for algebraic extensions of a finite field is described. In each extension, except for the squares of basis elements, the product of two distinct normal basis elements can…

In this paper we obtain the extended genus field of a finite abelian extension of a global rational function field. We first study the case of a cyclic extension of prime power degree. Next, we use that the extended genus fields of a…

The main result of the present article is a proof of Fermat's Last Theorem for sufficiently large prime exponents $p$ with $p \equiv 2 \pmod{3}$ over certain number fields. A particular case of these fields are the maximal real subfields of…

We investigate spectral conditions on Hermitian matrices of roots of unity. Our main results are conjecturally sharp upper bounds on the number of residue classes of the characteristic polynomial of such matrices modulo ideals generated by…

We obtain good estimates on the ranks of universal quadratic forms over Shanks' family of the simplest cubic fields and several other families of totally real number fields. As the main tool we characterize all the indecomposable integers…

A quadratic form over a non-archimedian local field of characteristic zero $F$ is called universal if it is integral and it represents all non-zero integers of $F$. Xu Fei and Zhang Yang determined all universal quadratic forms in the case…
