In a series of articles published in the C.R. Paris more than a century ago, T. P\'epin announced a list of ``theorems'' concerning the solvability of diophantine equations of the type $ax^4 + by^4 = z^2$. In this article, we show how to…
We prove two-ends Furstenberg estimates in the plane for a Katz-Tao $(\delta,t)$-set of lines, for general $t\in[0,2]$.
We prove a Khintchine result for convergence of a multiplicative Diophantine set with restricted denominators on an arbitrary non-degenerate line. Specifically, given sequences of real numbers $\{a_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}},\,…
We prove that an ordinary Dirichlet series with coefficients a(n)=g(n b) has an abscissa of convergence 0 if g is an odd 1-periodic, real-analytic function and b is Diophantine. We also show that if g is odd and has bounded variation and b…
The Diophantine sums $\sum_{n=1}^N \| n \alpha \|^{-1}$ and $\sum_{n=1}^N n^{-1} \| n \alpha \|^{-1}$ appear in many different areas including the ergodic theory of circle rotations, lattice point counting and random walks, often in…
We prove an explicit formula of the Berezin star product on Kaehler manifolds. The formula is expressed as a summation over certain strongly connected digraphs. The proof relies on a combinatorial interpretation of Englis' work on the…
Exact calculations of some universal quantities of two-dimensional statistical models in the vicinity of their fixed points are illustrated.
In this paper we present the statement of the Firoozbakht's conjecture, some of its consequences if it is proved and we show a consequence of Zhang's theorem concerning the Firoozbakht's conjecture.
A paper by Ye, Berdichevsky and Yu features a set of formulas for effective stiffnesses of corrugated plates. Without elaborating on said authors' actual approach leading to such formulas, we shall focus on the fact that they can be brought…
Erd\"os and Obl\'ath proved that the equation $n!\pm m!=x^p$ has only finitely many integer solutions. More general, under the ABC-conjecture, Luca showed that $P(x)=An!+Bm!$ has finitely many integer solutions for polynomials of degree…
This paper is a continuation of [1], in which I studied Harvey Friedman's problem of whether the function f(x,y) = x^2 + y^3 satisfies any identities; however, no knowledge of [1] is necessary to understand this paper. We will break the…
In this paper we define Diophantine exponents of lattices and investigate some of their properties. We prove transference inequalities and construct some examples with the help of Schmidt's subspace theorem.
We prove upper and lower bounds for certain sums of products of fractional parts by using majoring and minorizing functions from Fourier analysis. In special cases the upper bounds are sharp if there exist counterexamples to the Littlewood…
We give a proof of a result of Bonet, Engli\v{s} and Taskinen filling in several details and correcting some flaws.
This paper is motivated by two problems in the theory of Diophantine approximation, namely, Davenport's problem regarding badly approximable points on submanifolds of a Euclidean space and Schmidt's problem regarding the intersections of…
We prove that any product of a family of pseudofinite structures is pseudofinite. The main tools are the fundamental results on products of first order structures due to Feferman and Vaught.
An open conjecture of Erdos and Moser is that the only solution of the Diophantine equation in the title is the trivial solution 1+2=3. Reducing the equation modulo k and k^2, we give necessary and sufficient conditions on solutions to the…
We investigate approximation to a given real number by algebraic numbers and algebraic integers of prescribed degree. We deal with both best and uniform approximation, and highlight the similarities and differences compared with the…
We give a shorter simpler proof of a result of Szalay on the equation $2^a + 2^b + 1 = z^2$. We give an elementary proof of a result of Luca on the equation of the title for prime $p > 2$. The elementary treatment is made possible by a…
This paper investigates the exponential Diophantine equation of the form $a^x+b=c^y$, where $a, b, c$ are given positive integers with $a,c \ge 2$, and $x,y$ are positive integer unknowns. We define this form as a "Type-I transcendental…
