Given an integer $n \ge 3$, let $u_1, \ldots, u_n$ be pairwise coprime integers $\ge 2$, $\mathcal D$ a family of nonempty proper subsets of $\{1, \ldots, n\}$ with "enough" elements, and $\varepsilon$ a function $ \mathcal D \to \{\pm…

Barrucand and Cohn's theory of principal factorizations in pure cubic fields \(\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{D})\) and their Galois closures \(\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_3,\sqrt[3]{D})\) with \(3\) types is generalized to pure quintic fields…

Our contribution is a bounded cubic compilation theorem. For each fixed resource parameter $k$, syntactic proof checking at resource level $k$ is faithfully represented by a finite bounded-domain system of cubic polynomial equations. Every…

In this note, we study the divisibility relation $U_m\mid U_{n+k}^s-U_n^s$, where ${\bf U}:=\{U_n\}_{n\ge 0}$ is the Lucas sequence of characteristic polynomial $x^2-ax\pm 1$ and $k,m,n,s$ are positive integers.

How many ways can we write $n$ as a sum of $3$ positive integers, no pair of which share a common factor? We express this quantity in terms of the number of solutions to a certain class of linear Diophantine equations. This allows us to…

Let K be a number field or a function field of characteristic 0, let f be a K-rational function of degree greater than 1, and let a be an element of K. Let S be a finite set of places of K containing all the archimedean ones and the primes…

In 1977, Hugh Williams studied Lucas pseudoprimes to all Lucas sequences of a fixed discriminant. These are composite numbers analogous to Carmichael numbers and they satisfy a Korselt-like criterion: $n$ must be a product of distinct…

We study some counting questions concerning products of positive integers $u_1, \ldots, u_n$ which form a non-zero perfect square, or more generally, a perfect $k$-th power. We obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of such integers of…

Noncommutative differential calculus on quantum Minkowski space is not separated with respect to the standard generators, in the sense that partial derivatives of functions of a single generator can depend on all other generators. It is…

We give sufficient conditions, in terms of the existence of unbounded derivations satisfying certain properties, which ensure that a II$_1$ factor $M$ is prime or has at most one Cartan subalgebra. For instance, we prove that if there…

Let $(\mathbf{U}, \mathbf{U}^\imath)$ be a split affine quantum symmetric pair of type $\mathsf{B}_n^{(1)}, \mathsf{C}_n^{(1)}$ or $\mathsf{D}_n^{(1)}$. We prove factorization and coproduct formulae for the Drinfeld-Cartan operators…

We study some divisibility properties of multiperfect numbers. Our main result is: if $N=p_1^{\alpha_1}... p_s^{\alpha_s} q_1^{2\beta_1}... q_t^{2\beta_t}$ with $\beta_1, ..., \beta_t$ in some finite set S satisfies…

In this note, we look at the diophantine equation $$ \prod_{i=1}^ta_i!=\prod_{j=1}^sn_i!, \quad n_1\geq \cdots \geq n_s\geq 2 \quad \textnormal{and}\quad n_1>a_1\geq a_2\geq\cdots \geq a_t\geq2. $$ \noindent Let $s<t$. Under the (explicit)…

We prove some unique prime factorization results for tensor products of type $II_1$ factors of the form $\Gamma_q(\mathbb{C}, S \otimes H)$ arising from symmetric independent copies with sub-exponential dimensions of the spaces $D_k(S)$ and…

Let L_t denote the t-th Lucas number. We prove that the Diophantine equation L_m^{n+k} + L_m^n = L_r has no solutions in positive integers r, m, n, and k with m >= 2. In the case n = 1, the proof is based on a precise factorization formula…

For a class of Lucas sequences ${x_n}$, we show that if $n$ is a positive integer then $x_n$ has a primitive prime factor which divides $x_n$ to an odd power, except perhaps when $n = 1, 2, 3 or 6$. This has several desirable consequences.

This paper presents a systematic study of coproducts. This is carried out principally, but not exclusively, for finitely generated quasivarieties A that admit a (term) reduct in the variety D of bounded distributive lattices. In this…

Consider a decomposition $\mathfrak{n} = \mathfrak{n}_1 \oplus \cdots \oplus \mathfrak{n}_r$ of the positive nilradical of a complex semisimple Lie algebra of rank $r$, where each $\mathfrak{n}_k$ is a module under an appropriate Levi…

We give a complete classification of submanifolds with parallel second fundamental form of a product of two space forms. We also reduce the classification of umbilical submanifolds with dimension $m\geq 3$ of a product $\Q_{k_1}^{n_1}\times…

We derive an asymptotic formula for the divisor function $\tau(k)$ in an arithmetic progression $k\equiv a(\bmod \ q)$, uniformly for $q\leq X^{\Delta_{n,l}}$ with $(q,a)=1$. The parameter $\Delta_{n,l}$ is defined as $$…
