For every $n \geq 2$ we determine the asymptotic formula for the number of integer triples $(a,b,c)$ of bounded absolute value such that the generalised Fermat equation given by $ax^n+by^n+cz^n=0$ is everywhere locally soluble. We compute…

Let $p$ be a fixed odd prime and $Q(x,y,z)=ax^2+bxy+cy^2+dxz+eyz+fz^2$ be a fixed quadratic form in $\mathbb{Z}[x,y,z]$ which is non-degenerate in $\mathbb{F}_p[x,y,z]$ and $(a(4ac-b^2),p)=1.$ Let $(x_0,y_0,z_0)$ be a fixed point in…

Let $a,b>0$ be coprime integers. Assuming a conjecture on Hecke eigenvalues along binary cubic forms, we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of primes of the form $ax^2+by^3$ with $x \leq X^{1/2}$ and $y \leq X^{1/3}$. The proof…

We derive asymptotic formulas with a secondary term for the (smoothly weighted) count of number of integer solutions of height $\leqslant B$ with local conditions to the equation $F(x_1,x_2,x_3)=m$, where $F$ is a non-degenerate indefinite…

We prove an asymptotic formula for primes of the shape $f(a,b^2)$ with $a,b$ integers and of the shape $f(a,p^2)$ with $p$ prime. Here $f$ is a binary quadratic form with integer coefficients, irreducible over $\mathbb{Q}$ and has no local…

We establish precise asymptotic expansions for solutions to semilinear wave equations with power-type nonlinearities on asymptotically flat spacetimes. Our analysis focuses on two key cases: cubic nonlinearities and higher-order power…

Let $\psi$ and $F$ be positive definite forms with integral coefficients of equal degree. Using the circle method, we establish an asymptotic formula for the number of identical representations of $\psi$ by $F$, provided $\psi$ is…

An integral binary quartic form is said to be locally soluble (resp. soluble) if the corresponding genus one curve has a rational point over $\mathbb{Q}_v$ for every place $v$ of $\mathbb{Q}$ (resp. over $\mathbb{Q}$). We consider the…

We prove asymptotics for the density of everywhere locally soluble diagonal quadric surfaces parameterised by rational points on the split quadric surface $y_0y_1=y_2y_3$ which do not satisfy $-y_0y_1=\square$ nor $-y_0y_3=\square$.

We study an asymptotic formula for counting integral points over an equation defined by a non-degenerated indefinite integral ternary quadratic form $f$ representing a non-zero integer $a$ such that $-a\cdot det(f)$ is square over a number…

By adopting a new approach to the analysis of the density of p-adic solutions arising in applications of the circle method, we show that under modest conditions the existence of non-trivial p-adic solutions suffices to establish positivity…

Let $p>3$ be a prime, $a_1,a_2,a_3\in\Bbb Z$ and let $N_p(x^3+a_1x^2+a_2x+a_3)$ denote the number of solutions to the congruence $x^3+a_1x^2+a_2x+a_3\equiv 0\pmod p$. In this paper, we give an explicit criterion for…

For a prime $p$ and an absolutely irreducible modulo $p$ polynomial $f(U,V) \in \Z[U,V]$ we obtain an asymptotic formulas for the number of solutions to the congruence $f(x,y) \equiv a \pmod p$ in positive integers $x \le X$, $y \le Y$,…

For any fixed nonzero integer $h$, we show that a positive proportion of integral binary quartic forms $F$ do locally everywhere represent $h$, but do not globally represent $h$. We order classes of integral binary quartic forms by the two…

We derive an upper bound for the least number of variables needed to guarantee that a system of t quadratic forms (t>=2) over a field F has a nontrivial zero. In particular, if F is a local field, then 2t^2+3 variables insure the existence…

For $A\subseteq \{1, 2, \ldots\}$, we consider $R(A)=\{a/b: a, b\in A\}$. It is an open problem to study the denseness of $R(A)$ in the $p$-adic numbers when $A$ is the set of nonzero values assumed by a cubic form. We study this problem…

In this work we establish local $C^{2,\alpha}$ regularity estimates for flat solutions to non-convex fully nonlinear elliptic equations provided the coefficients and the source function are of class $C^{0,\alpha}$. For problems with merely…

We study rational points on the elliptic surface given by the equation: $$y^2 = x^3 + AxQ(u,v)^2 + BQ(u,v)^3,$$ where $A,B\in \mathbb{Z}$ satisfy that $4A^3-27B^2\neq 0$ and $Q(u,v)$ is a positive-definite quadratic form. We prove…

We consider the proportion of genus one curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ of the form $z^2=f(x,y)$ where $f(x,y)\in\mathbb{Z}[x,y]$ is a binary quartic form (or more generally of the form $z^2+h(x,y)z=f(x,y)$ where also $h(x,y)\in\mathbb{Z}[x,y]$ is…
