In this paper, we study positive integer solutions to a generalized form of the Markov equation, given as $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + k(yz + zx + xy) = (3 + 3k)xyz$. This equation extends the classical Markov equation $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 3xyz$. We…

Markov polynomials are the Laurent-polynomial solutions of the generalised Markov equation $$X^2 + Y^2 + Z^2 = kXYZ, \quad k=\frac{x^2 + y^2 + z^2}{x y z}$$ which are the results of cluster mutations applied to the initial triple $(x, y,…

Markov numbers are integers that appear in the solution triples of the Diophantine equation, $x^2+y^2+z^2=3xyz$, called the Markov equation. A classical topic in number theory, these numbers are related to many areas of mathematics such as…

The Markov numbers are the positive integer solutions of the Diophantine equation $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 3xyz$. Already in 1880, Markov showed that all these solutions could be generated along a binary tree. So it became quite usual (and…

Markov numbers are integers that appear in triples which are solutions of a Diophantine equation, the so-called Markov cubic $$x^2 + y^2 + z^2 - 3x y z = 0.$$ A classical topic in number theory, these numbers are related to many areas of…

We study the solutions of the Rosenberg--Markoff equation ax^2+by^2+cz^2 = dxyz (a generalization of the well--known Markoff equation). We specifically focus on looking for solutions in arithmetic progression that lie in the ring of…

The $k$-Markov numbers, introduced by Gyoda and Matsushita, are those which appear in positive integral solutions to $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + k(xy + xz + yz) = (3+3k)xyz$. When $k =0$, this recovers the ordinary Markov numbers. A long-standing…

Since the theorems of Schur and van der Waerden, numerous partition regularity results have been proved for linear equations, but progress has been scarce for non-linear ones, the hardest case being equations in three variables. We prove…

Erd\H{o}s & Graham ask whether the equation $x^2+y^2=z^2$ is partition regular, i.e. whether it has a finite Rado number. This note provides a lower bound and also states results in the affirmative for two similar quadratic equations.

A $k$-Markov number is a positive integer that appears in a positive integral solution to the Diophantine equation $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + k(xy + xz + yz) = (3+3k)xyz$. This equation was introduced by Gyoda and Matsushita. When $k =0$, this…

We confirm, for the primes up to 3000, the conjecture of Bourgain, Gamburd, and Sarnak on strong approximation for the Markoff surface $x^2+y^2+z^2 = 3xyz$ modulo primes. For primes congruent to 3 modulo 4, we find data suggesting that some…

For $k\geq 0$, a $k$-generalized Markov number is an integer which appears in some positive integer solution to the $k$-generalized Markov equation $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + k(yz + zx + xy) = (3 + 3k)xyz$. In this paper, we discuss a combinatorial…

We introduce a deformed squared Markov equation given by $X^2 + Y^2 + Z^2 + (q+q^{-1})(XY+YZ+XZ) = 3(1 + q + q^{-1})XYZ$. Symmetric solutions of this new equation present a remarkable factorization property which allows us to talk about…

In this paper, we deal with two classes of Diophantine equations, $x^2+y^2+z^2+k_1yz+k_2zx+k_3xy=(3+k_1+k_2+k_3)xyz$ and $x^2+y^4+z^4+ky^2z^2+2xz^2+2xy^2=(7+k)xy^2z^2$, where $k_1,k_2,k_3,k$ are nonnegative integers. The former is known as…

Suppose we partition the integers into finitely many cells. Can we always find a solution of the equation $x^2+y^2=z^2$ with $x,y,z$ on the same cell? What about more general homogeneous quadratic equations in three variables? These are…
