We study the equidistribution of multiplicatively defined sets, such as the squarefree integers, quadratic non-residues or primitive roots, in sets which are described in an additive way, such as sumsets or Hilbert cubes. In particular, we…
We use sums of Liouville type to count the number of ways a positive integer can be represented by the forms $(a+c)^{1/3}x + (b+d)y$, $(a+c)x + \bigl(k(b+d) \bigr)^{1/3} y$, and $\bigl(k(a+c) \bigr)^{1/3} x + l(b+d) y$ for nonnegative…
We prove an asymptotic formula for the number of integers $\leq x$ which can be written as the product of $k ~(\geq 2)$ distinct primes $p_1\cdots p_k$ with each prime factor in an arithmetic progression $p_j\equiv a_j \bmod q$, $(a_j,…
We provide a framework for using elliptic curves with complex multiplication to determine the primality or compositeness of integers that lie in special sequences, in deterministic quasi-quadratic time. We use this to find large primes,…
For a half integral weight modular form $f$ we study the signs of the Fourier coefficients $a(n)$. If $f$ is a Hecke eigenform of level $ N$ with real Nebentypus character, and $t$ is a fixed square-free positive integer with $a(t)\neq 0$,…
In this article we present method of solving some additive problems with primes. The method may be employed to the Goldbach-Euler conjecture and the twin primes conjecture. The presented method also makes it possible to obtain some…
Let A be an abelian threefold defined over a number field K with potential multiplication by an imaginary quadratic field M. If A has signature (2,1) and the multiplication by M is defined over an at most quadratic extension, we attach to A…
We classify primitive integer solutions to x^2 + y^3 = z^10. The technique is to combine modular methods at the prime 5, number field enumeration techniques in place of modular methods at the prime 2, Chabauty techniques for elliptic curves…
A distinguishing feature of certain intractable problems in prime number theory is the sparsity of the underlying sequence. Motivated by the general problem of finding primes in sparse polynomial sequences, we give an estimate for the…
Motivated by their research on automorphism groups of pseudo-real Riemann surfaces, Bujalance, Cirre and Conder have conjectured that there are infinitely many primes $p$ such that $p+2$ has all its prime factors $q\equiv -1$ mod~$(4)$. We…
Let $f(x_1, x_2, x_3)$ be an indefinite anisotropic integral quadratic form with determinant $d(f)$, and $t$ a non-zero integer such that $d(f)t$ is square-free. It is proved in this paper that, as long as there is one integral solution to…
Every natural number greater than $2$ can be written as the sum of a prime and a square-free number, and recent work has imposed additional divisibility conditions on the square-free number. We overcome limitations in these works to prove…
Let n be a square-free polynomial over F_q, where q is an odd prime power. In this paper, we determine which irreducible polynomials p in F_q[x] can be represented in the form X^2+nY^2 with X, Y in F_q[x]. We restrict ourselves to the case…
Let $a$ and $b$ be positive integers and let $p$ be an odd prime such that $p=ax^2+by^2$ for some integers $x$ and $y$. Let $\lambda(a,b;n)$ be given by $q\prod_{k=1}^\infty (1-q^{ak})^3(1-q^{bk})^3 = \sum_{n=1}^\infty \lambda(a,b;n)q^n$.…
In this methodological paper, we first review the classic cubic Diophantine equation $a^3 + b^3 + c^3 = d^3$, and consider the specific class of solutions $q_1^3 + q_2^3 + q_3^3 = q_4^3$ with each $q_i$ being a binary quadratic form. Next…
We investigate exponential sums over singular binary quartic forms, proving an explicit formula for the finite field Fourier transform of this set. Our formula shares much in common with analogous formulas proved previously for other vector…
We develop a variety of new techniques to treat Diophantine equations of the shape $x^2+D =y^n$, based upon bounds for linear forms in $p$-adic and complex logarithms, the modularity of Galois representations attached to Frey-Hellegouarch…
Let $E/\mathbb Q$ be an elliptic curve and $p \geq 3$ a prime. The modular curve $X_E^-(p)$ parametrizes elliptic curves with $p$-torsion modules anti-symplectically isomorphic to $E[p]$. We give a complete classification of when…
We study small non-trivial solutions of quadratic congruences of the form $x_1^2+\alpha_2x_2^2+\alpha_3x_3^2\equiv 0 \bmod{q}$, with $q$ being an odd natural number, in an average sense. This extends previous work of the authors in which…
We investigate the asymptotic formula for the number of representations of a large positive integer as a sum of $k$-th powers of integers represented as the sums of three positive cubes, counted with multiplicities. We also obtain a lower…
