Let $p$ be a fixed prime, and let $v(a)$ stand for the exponent of $p$ in the prime factorization of the integer $a$. Let $f$ and $g$ be two monic polynomials with integer coefficients and nonzero resultant $r$. Write $S$ for the maximum of…

We obtain new bounds of exponential sums modulo a prime $p$ with sparse polynomials $a_0x^{n_0} + \cdots + a_{\nu}x^{n_\nu}$. The bounds depend on various greatest common divisors of exponents $n_0, \ldots, n_\nu$ and their differences. In…

For an odd prime $p$, we realize the trivial representation of $\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbb{Z}/p^n\mathbb{Z})$ on the free $\mathbb{Z}/p^n \mathbb{Z}$-module of rank one as a subquotient of a direct sum of symmetric power representations (twisted…

We study sums of independent random variables that take values $0$, $1/2$, or $1$. We show that the probability mass function of the sum splits into two interleaved parts: one supported on the integers and the other supported on the…

Let $(M,I,J,K)$ be a hyperkaehler manifold, $\dim_\R M =4n$. We study positive, Dolbeault-closed $(2p,0)$-forms on $(M,I)$. These forms are quaternionic analogues of the positive $(p,p)$-forms. We construct an injective homomorphism mapping…

The prime divisors of a polynomial $P$ with integer coefficients are those primes $p$ for which $P(x) \equiv 0 \pmod{p}$ is solvable. Our main result is that the common prime divisors of any several polynomials are exactly the prime…

Let d>2 and let p be a prime coprime to d. Let Z_pbar be the ring of integers of Q_pbar. Suppose f(x) is a degree-d polynomial over Qbar and Z_pbar. Let P be a prime ideal over p in the ring of integers of Q(f), where Q(f) is the number…

We compute the expectation of the number of linear spaces on a random complete intersection in $p$-adic projective space. Here "random" means that the coefficients of the polynomials defining the complete intersections are sampled uniformly…

We study positive supersolutions to an elliptic equation $(*)$: $-\Delta u=c|x|^{-s}u^p$, $p,s\in\bf R$ in cone-like domains in $\bf R^N$ ($N\ge 2$). We prove that in the sublinear case $p<1$ there exists a critical exponent $p_*<1$ such…

Let $\underline{a}$ and $\underline{b}$ be primitive sequences over $\mathbb{Z}/(p^e)$ with odd prime $p$ and $e\ge 2$. For certain compressing maps, we consider the distribution properties of compressing sequences of $\underline{a}$ and…

We study the uniform distribution of the polynomial sequence $\lambda(P)=(\lfloor P(k) \rfloor )_{k\geq 1}$ modulo integers, where $P(x)$ is a polynomial with real coefficients. In the nonlinear case, we show that $\lambda(P)$ is uniformly…

It is shown that there is a constant A and a density one subset S of the positive integers, such that for all q in S there is some 1<=p<q, (p, q)=1, so that p/q has all its partial quotients bounded by A.

In this article, we show that for any non-isotrivial family of abelian varieties over a rational base with big monodromy, those members that have adelic Galois representation with image as large as possible form a density-$1$ subset. Our…

Let $E/\mathbb{Q}$ be an elliptic curve and let $p$ be a prime of good supersingular reduction. Attached to $E$ are pairs of Iwasawa invariants $\mu_p^\pm$ and $\lambda_p^\pm$ which encode arithmetic properties of $E$ along the cyclotomic…

Let $\{\cdot\}$ denote the fractional part and $n \geq 1$ be a fixed integer. In this short note, we show for any prime $p$ the one-to-one correspondence $$\sum_{\nu \geq 1} \left\{\frac{n}{p^\nu}\right\} > 1 \quad \iff \quad p \mid…

Let $p$ be any odd prime number. Let $k$ be any positive integer such that $2\leq k\leq [\frac{p+1}3]+1$. Let $S = (a_1,a_2,...,a_{2p-k})$ be any sequence in ${\Bbb Z}_p$ such that there is no subsequence of length $p$ of $S$ whose sum is…

Ailon and Rudnick have shown that if $a,b \in C[T]$ are multiplicatively independent polynomials, then $\deg(\gcd(a^n-1,b^n-1))$ is bounded for all $n\ge1$. We show that if instead $a,b \in F[T]$ for a finite field $F$ of characteristic…

We consider polynomial equations, or systems of polynomial equations, with integer coefficients, modulo prime numbers $p$. We offer an elementary approach based on a counting method. The outcome is a weak form of the Lang-Weil lower bound…

Aim of this article is a Satake type theorem for super automorphic forms on a complex bounded symmetric super domain B of rank 1 with respect to a lattice. This theorem - roughly speaking - says that for large weight k and all p from 1 to…

In the moduli space of complex cubic polynomials with a marked critical point, given any p>=1, we prove that the loci formed by polynomials with the marked critical point periodic of period p is an irreducible curve. Thus answering a…
