Let $G/B$ be a flag variety over $\mathbb C$, where $G$ is a simple algebraic group with a simply laced Dynkin diagram, and $B$ is a Borel subgroup. We say that the product of classes of Schubert divisors in the Chow ring is multiplicity…

In this work we study smooth complex quasi-projective surfaces whose fundamental group is a free product of cyclic groups. In particular, we prove the existence of an admissible map from the quasi-projective surface to a smooth complex…

Let $s(n):= \sum_{d\mid n,~d<n} d$ denote the sum of the proper divisors of $n$. It is natural to conjecture that for each integer $k\ge 2$, the equivalence \[ \text{$n$ is $k$th powerfree} \Longleftrightarrow \text{$s(n)$ is $k$th…

We prove the existence of a smooth complete $3$-convex hypersurface which satisfies prescribed curvature equation $\prod\limits_{i = 1}^n (H - \kappa_i) = \big( (n - 1) \sigma \big)^n$ for $n = 4$ and has prescribed asymptotic boundary…

It is known that there are infinitely-many prime numbers which take the form of a polynomial of degree one with integer coefficients, this is Dirichlet's theorem. We use an elementary sieving argument together with bounds on the prime…

An asymptotic formula for the variance of squarefree numbers in arithmetic progressions of given modulus was obtained by Nunes (see reference [3]). We improve one of the error terms.

Additive divisor sums play a prominent role in the theory of the moments of the Riemann zeta function. There is a long history of determining sharp asymptotic formula for the shifted convolution sum of the ordinary divisor function. In…

For any fixed $k\geq 2$, we prove that every sufficiently large integer can be expressed as the sum of a $k$th power of a prime and a number with at most $M(k)=6k$ prime factors. For sufficiently large $k$ we also show that one can take…

Let $d\equiv 2\pmod 4$ be a square-free integer such that $x^2 - dy^2 =- 1$ and $x^2 - dy^2 = 6$ are solvable in integers. We prove the existence of infinitely many quadruples in $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{d}]$ with the property $D(n)$ when $n \in…

We consider normal projective n-dimensional varieties X whose anticanonical divisor class -K is ample and where every Weil divisor is a rational multiple of K. The index i is the largest integer such that K/i exists as a Weil divisor. We…

Let $m \in \mathbb{N}$ be large. We show that there exist infinitely many primes $q_{1}< \cdot\cdot\cdot < q_{m+1}$ such that \[ q_{m+1}-q_{1}=O(e^{7.63m}) \] and $q_{j}+2$ has at most \[ \frac{7.36m}{\log 2} + \frac{4\log m}{\log 2} + 21…

In a recent paper, Lapkova uses a Tauberian theorem to derive the asymptotic formula for the divisor sum $\sum_{n \leq x} d( n (n+v))$ where $v$ is a fixed integer and $d(n)$ denotes the number of divisors of $n$. We reprove her result by…

In this paper, we consider $D=\mathbb{Z}[\theta]$, where $$\theta= \sqrt{-k} \,\,\,\, \mbox{if}\;\;\;-k\not\equiv 1 \;(\mbox{mod}\;4)\,\,\,\,\mbox{or}\,\,\,\, \theta=\frac{\sqrt{-k}+1}{2} \,\,\,\, \mbox{if}\;\;\;-k\equiv 1…

In this paper we show that functions of the form $\prod_{n\ge1}\frac{1}{\left(1+\frac{x^{2}}{a_{n}^{2}}\right)}$ where $a_{n}>0$ and $\sum_{n\ge1}\frac{1}{a_{n}^{2}}<\infty$ are in the Schwartz space of the real line, answering a question…

Let $(a;q)_{\infty}$ be the $q$-Pochhammer symbol and $\mathrm{li}_2(x)$ be the dilogarithm function. Let $\prod_{\alpha,\beta,\gamma}$ be a finite product with every triple $(\alpha,\beta,\gamma)\in(\mathbb{R}_{>0})^3$ and…

Under the Riemann Hypothesis for Dirichlet L-functions, we improve on the error term in a smoothed version of an estimate for the density of elliptic curves with square-free $\Delta=D/16$, where D is the discriminant, by T.D. Browning and…

It is sufficient to prove that there is an excess of prime factors in the product of repunits with odd prime bases defined by the sum of divisors of the integer $N=(4k+1)^{4m+1}\prod_{i=1}^\ell ~ q_i^{2\alpha_i}$ to establish that there do…

Suppose that $n$ is $0$ or $4$ modulo $6$. We show that there are infinitely many primes of the form $p^2 + nq^2$ with both $p$ and $q$ prime, and obtain an asymptotic for their number. In particular, when $n = 4$ we verify the `Gaussian…
