In this article, we study necessary conditions for certain square-free integers to be congruent numbers. Our method uses divisibility properties of class numbers of related imaginary quadratic fields. We first consider positive square-free…

Let ${\mathbb K}={\mathbb Q}(\sqrt{m})$ be a real quadratic number field, where $m>1$ is a squarefree integer. Suppose that $0 < \theta< \pi $ has rational cosine, say $\cos (\theta)=s/r$ with $0< |s|<r$ and $\gcd(r,s)=1$. A positive…

A positive integer $n$ is called a $\theta$-congruent number if there is a triangle with sides $a,b$ and $c$ for which the angle between $a$ and $b$ is equal to $\theta$ and its area is $n\sqrt{r^2 - s^2}$, where $0 < \theta < \pi$, $\cos…

A positive integer $A$ is called a congruent number if $A$ is the area of a right-angled triangle with three rational sides. Equivalently, $A$ is a congruent number if and only if the congruent number curve $y^2=x^3-A^2x$ has a rational…

A positive integer that is the area of some rational right triangle is called a congruent number. In an algebraic point of view, being a congruent number means satisfying a system of equations. As early as the 1800s, it is understood that…

Let f\in Z[x], deg(f)=3. Assume that f does not have repeated roots. Assume as well that, for every prime q, the inequality f(x)\not\equiv 0 mod q^2 has at least one solution in (Z/q^2 Z)^*. Then, under these two necessary conditions, there…

Given any positive integer n, we prove the existence of infinitely many right triangles with area n and side lengths in certain number fields. This generalizes the famous congruent number problem. The proof allows the explicit construction…

We introduce a shifted convolution sum that is parametrized by the squarefree natural number $t$. The asymptotic growth of this series depends explicitly on whether or not $t$ is a \emph{congruent number}, an integer that is the area of a…

We show that if the congruence above holds and $n\mid m$, then the quotient $Q:=m/n$ satisfies $\sum_{p\mid Q} \frac{Q}{p}+1 \equiv 0\pmod{Q}$, where $p$ is prime. The only known solutions of the latter congruence are $Q=1$ and the eight…

The notion of $\theta$-congruent numbers generalizes the classical congruent number problem. Recall that a positive integer $n$ is $\theta$-congruent if it is the area of a rational triangle with an angle $\theta$ whose cosine is rational.…

The numbers of representations of totally positive integers as sums of three integer squares in $\mathbf{Q}(\sqrt{3})$ and in $\mathbf{Q}(\sqrt{17})$, are studied by using Shimura lifting map of Hilbert modular forms. We show the following…

Let $\overline{p}_{k}(n)$ denote the number of overpartition $k$-tuples of $n$. In 2023, Saikia \cite{saikia} conjectured the following congruences: \begin{align*} \overline{p}_{q}(8n+2)& \equiv 0 \pmod{4},\quad \overline{p}_{q}(8n+3)\equiv…

Let $k\geq 2$ be a square-free integer. We prove that the number of square-free integers $m\in [1,N]$ such that $(k,m)=1$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{k^2m})$ is monogenic is $\gg N^{1/3}$ and $\ll N/(\log N)^{1/3-\epsilon}$ for any…

Let $a, b, c,$ and $n$ be integers, with $a$ nonzero and $n$ at least two. Necessary and sufficient conditions on these parameters are derived which guarantee that all solutions of the congruence \[ ax^2+bx+c \equiv 0\ \textrm{mod}\ n \]…

Let $m\neq0,\pm1$ and $n\geq 2$ be integers. The ring of algebraic integers of the pure fields of type $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[n]{m})$ is explicitly known for $n=2,3,4$. It is well known that for $n=2$, an integral basis of the pure quadratic…
