We study sums with multiplicative functions that take values over a non-homogenous Beatty sequence. We then apply our result in a few special cases to obtain asymptotic formulas such as the number of integers in a Beatty sequence…

We consider the sum of squares function in the ring $\mathbb{Z}_{n}$. We determine formulae in a number of cases when $n$ is a power of a prime.

The micro-local Gevrey regularity of a class of "sums of squares" with real analytic coefficients is studied in detail. Some partial regularity result is also given.

We show that any sum of squares in a field of transcendence degree $1$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ is a sum of $5$ squares, answering a question of Pop and Pfister. We deduce this result from a representation theorem, in $k(C)$, for quadratic forms…

It is well-known that every non-negative univariate real polynomial can be written as the sum of two polynomial squares with real coefficients. When one allows a weighted sum of finitely many squares instead of a sum of two squares, then…

Let $\triangle$ denote the integers represented by the quadratic form $x^2+xy+y^2$ and $\square_{2}$ denote the numbers represented as a sum of two squares. For a non-zero integer $a$, let $S(\triangle,\square_{2},a)$ be the set of integers…

The problem of simultaneous decomposition of binary forms as sums of powers of linear forms is studied. For generic forms the minimal number of linear forms needed is found and the space parametrizing all the possible decompositions is…

In this paper, we study residues of differential 2-forms on a smooth algebraic surface over an arbitrary field and give several statements about sums of residues. Afterwards, using these results we construct algebraic-geometric codes which…

We prove a conjecture that arose in the context of a subspace enumeration problem over finite fields. We prove, more generally, a bibasic, double-sum identity, which extends a $q$-analogue of the (terminating) binomial theorem.

We prove a summation formula for pairs of quadratic spaces following the conjectures of Braverman-Kazhdan, Lafforgue, Ng\^{o} and Sakellaridis. We also give an expression of the local factors where all the data are unramified.

Quaternions, split quaternions, and hybrid numbers are very well-known number systems. These number systems are used to make geometry in Euclidean and Lorentz spaces. These number systems can be obtained with the help of a quadratic form.…

Let $\mathbb{Q}(\alpha)$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\beta)$ be algebraic number fields. We describe a new method to find (if they exist) all isomorphisms, $\mathbb{Q}(\beta) \rightarrow \mathbb{Q}(\alpha)$. The algorithm is particularly efficient if…

In this note we present techniques to compute inhomogeneous minima of norm forms; as an application, we determine all norm-Euclidean complex bicyclic quartic number fields.

We prove a result about the non-existence of certain sums-of-squares formulas over a field. This generalizes an old theorem which used topological K-theory to obtain obstruction conditions when the field is the real numbers. Our result…

We study some properties of quadratic forms with values in a field whose underlying vector spaces are endowed with the structure of right vector spaces over a division ring extension of that field. Some generalized notions of isotropy,…

Using the circle method, we obtain asymptotic formulae for the number of integer solutions to certain quadratic polynomials that are uniform in the coefficients of the polynomial.

Let $K$ be a complex bi-quadratic field with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_{K}$. For $K = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-m}$, $\sqrt{n}$), where $ m \equiv 3 \pmod 4 $ and $ n \equiv 1 \pmod 4$, we prove that every algebraic integer can be written as…

We study surfaces in Euclidean space constructed by the sum of two curves or that are graphs of the product of two functions. We consider the problem to determine all these surfaces with constant Gauss curvature. We extend the results to…

Given two closed curves in a surface, we propose an algorithm to detect whether they are of the same type or not.

Sums-of-squares formulas over the integers have been studied extensively using their equivalence to consistently signed intercalate matrices. This representation, combined with combinatorial arguments, has been used to produce…
