For each integer $k \in [0,9]$, we count the number of plane cubic curves defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ that do not share a common component and intersect in exactly $k\ \mathbb{F}_q$-rational points. We set this up as a…
Using a property of the q-shifted factorial, an identity for q-binomial coefficients is proved, which is used to derive the formulas for the q-binomial coefficient for negative arguments. The result is in agreement with an earlier paper…
It is well known that an element of the algebra of noncommutative *-polynomials is positive in all *-representations if and only if it is a sum of squares. This provides an effective way to determine if a given *-polynomial is positive, by…
The aim of this article is to study (additively) indecomposable algebraic integers $\mathcal O_K$ of biquadratic number fields $K$ and universal totally positive quadratic forms with coefficients in $\mathcal O_K$. There are given…
The direct or algorithmic approach for the Jacobian problem, consisting of the direct construction of the inverse polynomials is proposed. The so called principle and derived Jacobi conditions are proposed and discussed. The algorithmic…
We show that a quartic $p$-adic form with at least $3192$ variables possesses a non-trivial zero. We also prove new results on systems of cubic, quadratic and linear forms. As an example, we show that for a system comprising two cubic forms…
A collection $\mathcal S$ of equivalence classes of positive definite integral quadratic forms in $n$ variables is called an $n$-exceptional set if there exists a positive definite integral quadratic form which represents all equivalence…
It is unknown at present whether a magic square of squared integers exists. Such an object is defined to be a 3 by 3 grid of 9 distinct integer squares, such that the entries of each row, column, and two main diagonals sum to the same…
In this expository paper we describe four primality tests. The first test is very efficient, but is only capable of proving that a given number is either composite or 'very probably' prime. The second test is a deterministic polynomial time…
Given an integer n>1, it is a classical Diophantine problem that whether n can be written as a sum of two rational cubes. The study of this problem, considering several special cases of n, has a copious history that can be traced back to…
A perfect cuboid is a rectangular parallelepiped whose all linear extents are given by integer numbers, i. e. its edges, its face diagonals, and its space diagonal are of integer lengths. None of perfect cuboids is known thus far. Their…
In the paper we partially solved the problem of the distribution of the discriminants of integral polynomials in the cubic case. We proved the asymptotic formula for the number of integral cubic polynomials having bounded height and bounded…
In this paper we find a parametric solution to the hitherto unsolved problem of finding three positive integers such that their sum, the sum of their squares and the sum of their cubes are simultaneously perfect squares.
In this paper, it is proved that, for $\gamma\in(\frac{317}{320},1)$, every sufficiently large odd integer can be written as the sum of nine cubes of primes, each of which is of the form $[n^{1/\gamma}]$. This result constitutes an…
We construct explicit examples of cubic surfaces over $\bbQ$ such that the 27 lines are acted upon by the index two subgroup of the maximal possible Galois group. This is the simple group of order $25 920$. Our examples are given in…
We investigate the average number of solutions of certain quadratic congruences. As an application, we establish Manin's conjecture for a cubic surface whose singularity type is A_5+A_1.
Determining the lack of association between an outcome variable and a number of different explanatory variables is frequently necessary in order to disregard a proposed model. This paper proposes a non-inferiority test for the coefficient…
Determining whether a given integer is prime or composite is a basic task in number theory. We present a primality test based on quantum order finding and the converse of Fermat's theorem. For an integer $N$, the test tries to find an…
We present a simple null test of a dimension of a quantum system, using a single repeated operation in the method of delays, assuming that each instance is identical and independent. The test is well-suited to current feasible quantum…
For any 4-variate quartic form $f\geq 0$ (i.e. $f$ nonnegative, homogeneous polynomial of degree $4$ with real coefficients) there exist quadratic forms $q$ and $q'$ so that $qq'f$ is a sum of squares (s.o.s.) of quartics, by reducing to…
