For each integer $d\ge 4$, we study the sequence of positive integers which are represented by one at least of the cyclotomic binary forms $\Phi_n(X,Y)$, with $n$ a positive integer satisfying $\varphi(n)\ge d$. The case $d=2$ was studied…

In the present article, real number representations, that are generalizations of classical positive and alternating representations of numbers, are introduced and investigated. The main metric relation, properties of cylinder sets are…

We show that the theorem of Ellenberg and Venkatesh on representation of integral quadratic forms by integral positive definite quadratic forms is valid under weaker conditions on the represented form.

We discuss the phenomenon where an element in a number field is not integrally represented by a given positive definite quadratic form, but becomes integrally represented by this form over a totally real extension of odd degree. We prove…

The purpose of this paper is to present a collection of interesting generating functions for partitions which have connections to positive definite binary quadratic forms. In establishing our results we obtain some new Bailey pairs.

We describe an explicit parameter space for the set of all quadratic rational maps on $\pp^1$ defined over a field $K$, up to conjugacy over $K$.

Let F be a perfect field. Then the diagonal quadratic form $a_iX_i^2$ over $F$ is universal over $M_2(F)$ if and only if atleast two of the $a_i$ are non-zero.

Let $a,b,c,d,e,f\in\mathbb N$ with $a\ge c\ge e>0$, $b\le a$ and $b\equiv a\pmod2$, $d\le c$ and $d\equiv c\pmod2$, $f\le e$ and $f\equiv e\pmod2$. If any nonnegative integer can be written as $x(ax+b)/2+y(cy+d)/2+z(ez+f)/2$ with…

We introduce the notions of quantum characteristic and quantum flatness for arbitrary rings. More generally, we develop the theory of quantum integers in a ring and show that the hypothesis of quantum flatness together with positive quantum…

In this paper, we revisit the theory of perfect unary forms over real quadratic fields. Specifically, we deduce an infinite family of real quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})$ when $d=2$ or $3$ mod $4$, such that there are three classes…

Given any number field, we prove that there exist arbitrarily shaped constellations consisting of pairwise non-associate prime elements of the ring of integers. This result extends the celebrated Green-Tao theorem on arithmetic progressions…

This paper concerns the \textbf{abstract geometry of numbers}: namely the pursuit of certain aspects of geometry of numbers over a suitable class of normed domains. (The standard geometry of numbers is then viewed as geometry of numbers…

This paper presents algorithms for calculating the quadratic character and the norms of prime ideals in the ring of integers of any quadratic field. The norms of prime ideals are obtained by means of a sieve algorithm using the quadratic…

An integral basis of the simplest number fields of degree 3,4 and 6 over $\mathbb{Q}$ are well-known, and widely investigated. We generalize the simplest number fields to any degree, and show that an integral basis of these fields is…

We study the minimal number of variables required by a totally positive definite diagonal universal quadratic form over a real quadratic field $\mathbb Q(\sqrt D)$ and obtain lower and upper bounds for it in terms of certain sums of…

In this paper we establish a formula for the average of representation numbers of ternary quadratic forms in a spinor genus over a totally real number field. The significant fact about the formula is the fact that it is given in terms of…

We examine the representation of numbers as the sum of two squares in $\mathbb{Z}_n$ for a general positive integer $n$. Using this information we make some comments about the density of positive integers which can be represented as the sum…

We study representation of square-free polynomials in the polynomial ring F[t] over a finite field F by polynomials in F[t][x]. This is a function field version of the well-studied problem of representing squarefree integers by integer…
