Let $k$ be a field and let $R$ be a countable dimensional prime von Neumann regular $k$-algebra. We show that $R$ is primitive, answering a special case of a question of Kaplansky.

A Lehmer number modulo a prime $p$ is an integer $a$ with $1 \leq a \leq p-1$ whose inverse $\bar{a}$ within the same range has opposite parity. Lehmer numbers that are also primitive roots have been discussed by Wang and Wang in an…

The theory of elliptic pairs, as investigated in a paper by Castravet, Laface, Tevelev, and Ugaglia, provides useful conditions to determine polyhedrality of the pseudo-effective cone, which give rise to interesting arithmetic questions…

In this paper, we introduce and study a variant of Kummer's notion of (ir)regularity of primes which we call G-irregularity. It is based on Genocchi numbers $G_n$, rather than Bernoulli number $B_n.$ We say that an odd prime $p$ is…

Let $p$ be a prime number and $\zeta_p$ be a primitive $p$-th root of unity in $\bm{C}$. Let $k$ be a field and $k(x_0,\ldots,x_{p-1})$ be the rational function field of $p$ variables over $k$. Suppose that $G=\langle\sigma\rangle \simeq…

In this paper, we study a special kind of factorization of $x^n+1$ over $\mathbb{F}_q, $ with $q$ a prime power $\equiv 3~({\rm mod}~4)$ when $n=2p,$ with $p\equiv 3~({\rm mod}~4)$ and $p$ is a prime. Given such a $q$ infinitely many such…

Let $G$ be one of the Artin groups of finite type ${\mathbf B}_n={\mathbf C}_n$, and affine type $\tilde{\mathbf A}_{n-1}$ and $\tilde{\mathbf C}_{n-1}$. In this paper, we show that if $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are elements of $G$ such that…

For a global function field K of positive characteristic p, we show that Artin conjecture for L-functions of geometric p-adic Galois representations of K is true in a non-trivial p-adic disk but is false in the full p-adic plane. In…

The Elementary Type Conjecture in Galois theory provides a concrete inductive description of the finitely generated maximal pro-$p$ Galois groups $G_F(p)$ of fields $F$ containing a root of unity of order $p$. We describe several variants…

A primitive root modulo an integer $n$ is the generator of the multiplicative group of integers modulo $n$. Gauss proved that for any prime number $p$ greater than $3$, the sum of its primitive roots is congruent to $1$ modulo $p$ while its…

Silverman showed that, assuming the $abc$ conjecture, there are $\gg \log x$ non-Wieferich primes base $a$ less than $x$ \cite{silverman}, for all non-zero $a$. This inspired Graves and Murty \cite{Graves}, Chen and Ding \cite{Chen1}…

Let K be a number field, let f(x) in K(x) be a rational function of degree d> 1, and let z in K be a wandering point such that f^n(z) is nonzero for all n > 0. We prove that if the abc-conjecture holds for K, then for all but finitely many…

We formulate a conjectural p-adic analogue of Borel's theorem relating regulators for higher K-groups of number fields to special values of the corresponding zeta-functions, using syntomic regulators and p-adic L-functions. We also…

Let $G$ be a subgroup of ${\rm PGL}_2({\mathbb F}_q)$, where $q$ is any prime power, and let $Q \in {\mathbb F}_q[x]$ such that ${\mathbb F}_q(x)/{\mathbb F}_q(Q(x))$ is a Galois extension with group $G$. By explicitly computing the Artin…

Let $p$ be an odd prime number and $K$ a number field having a primitive $p$-th root of unity $\zeta.$ We prove that Nikshych's non-group theoretical Hopf algebra $H_p$, which is defined over $\mathbb{Q}(\zeta)$, admits a Hopf order over…

Primitive roots of 1 mod p^k (k>2 and odd prime p) are sought, in cyclic units group G_k = A_k B_k mod p^k, coprime to p, of order (p-1)p^{k-1}. 'Core' subgroup A_k has order p-1 independent of k, and p+1 generates 'extension' subgroup B_k…

Let $p=2n+1$ be an odd prime, and let $\zeta_{p^2-1}$ be a primitive $(p^2-1)$-th root of unity in the algebraic closure $\overline{\mathbb{Q}_p}$ of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. We let $g\in\mathbb{Z}_p[\zeta_{p^2-1}]$ be a primitive root modulo…

Fix a prime number $p$. Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of characteristic coprime to 2, 3, and $p$, which also contains the primitive $p$-th root of unity $\mu_p$. Based on the works by Swinnerton-Dyer and Klagsbrun, Mazur, and Rubin,…

Using the properties of the ideal of the coordinate Hermite interpolation on n-dimensional grid [4], we prove that the extension k in k[x1, x2, ..., xn] / (f1(x1), ..., fn(xn)) has a primitive element if and only if at most one of the…
