Fermat's statement is equivalent to say that if $x$, $y$, $z$, $n$ are integers and $n>2$, then $z^{n}\gtrless x^{n}+y^{n}$. This is proved with the aid of numbers $\lambda $'s, of the form $\lambda =z/\rho $, with $1<\rho<z$, named…

We find the primitive integer solutions to x^2+y^3=z^7. A nonabelian descent argument involving the simple group of order 168 reduces the problem to the determination of the set of rational points on a finite set of twists of the Klein…

Within the scope of elementary number theory, we prove that, as the main result, if $1 \leq x < y < z$ are integers such that at least one of $y, z, x+y$ is prime then $x^{n}+y^{n} \neq z^{n}$ for every odd integer $n \geq 3$. This result…

In this paper, we explore the modular differential equation $\displaystyle y'' + F(z)y = 0$ on the upper half-plane $\mathbb{H}$, where $F$ is a weight 4 modular form for $\Gamma_0(2)$. Our approach centers on solving the associated…

Using a combination of several powerful modularity theorems and class field theory we derive a new modularity theorem for semistable elliptic curves over certain real abelian fields. We deduce that if $K$ is a real abelian field of…

In this paper we find the solutions of the functional equation $$f(xy) = g(x)h(y) + \sum_{j=1}^n g_j(x)h_j(y), \;x,y \in M,$$ where $M$ is a monoid, $n\geq 2$, and $g_j$ (for $j=1,...,n$) are linear combinations of at least $2$ distinct…

We present a general approach to establish algebraic functional equations for big Galois representations over multiple $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extensions. Our result is formulated in both Selmer group and Selmer complex settings, and encompasses a…

Let $\alpha,\beta,\gamma\in\mathbb{N}$. We prove that given an $r$-colouring of $\mathbb{F}_p$ with $p$ prime, there are more than $c_{r,\alpha,\beta,\gamma} p^2$ solutions to the equation $x^\alpha+y^\beta=z^\gamma$ with all of $x,y,z$ of…

In recent years, significant progress has been made on Mazur's Program B, with many authors beginning a systematic classification of all possible images of $p$-adic Galois representations attached to elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$.…

With a simple transformation of the three exponents the generalized Fermat equation can be put into the same form as the Fermat equation. When it is rewritten into this new altered form any real solutions to the altered equation equal a…

In this paper we construct number fields ramified at 2 and 3 only, with various moderate-sized non-solvable Galois groups. We construct these fields by specializing three point covers, some from the literature and some new here. The…

Extending previous work of the author, we compute the Wilson quotient modulo $p^5$ and $p^6$, and equivalently $(p-1)!$ modulo $p^6$ and $p^7$, respectively. Further, we determine some power sums of the Fermat quotients up to modulo $p^6$.…

We present explicit analytical solution for the problem of minimization of the function $ F(x,y)= \sum_{j=1}^3 m_j \sqrt{(x-x_j)^2+(y-y_j)^2} $, i.e. we find the coordinates of stationary point and the corresponding critical value of $…

We examine in detail the stable reduction of Galois covers of the projective line over a complete discrete valuation field of mixed characteristic (0, p), where G has a cyclic p-Sylow subgroup of order p^n. If G is further assumed to be…

The local Zeta function of a variety encodes important information about the variety. From the works of Weil, Deligne, Dwork, and others, many things are known about the local Zeta function of a smooth projective variety. In this article,…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field with $q=p^t$ elements. In this paper, we study the number of solutions of equations of the form $a_1 x_1^{d_1}+\dots+a_s x_s^{d_s}=b$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$. A classic well-konwn result from Weil yields a…

The classical Pell equation can be extended to the cubic case considering the elements of norm one in $Z[\sqrt[3]{r}]$, which satisfy $x^3 + r y^3 + r^2 z^3 - 3 r x y z = 1$. The solution of the cubic Pell equation is harder than the…
