We fix a prime p and construct new cases of pro-p extensions of number fields with restricted ramification and splitting, whose Galois groups decompose as coproducts of pro-p absolute Galois groups of local fields. As a consequence, these…

Let $ k \geq 2 $ and let $ ( L_{n}^{(k)} )_{n \geq 2-k} $ be the $k-$generalized Lucas sequence with certain initial $ k $ terms and each term afterward is the sum of the $ k $ preceding terms. In this paper, we find all repdigits which are…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a complex Hilbert space, $\mathcal{B(H)}$ be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on $\mathcal{H}$ and $\mathcal{A} \subseteq \mathcal{B(H)}$ be a von Neumann algebra without central summands of type $I_1$. For…

The branching coefficients of the tensor product of finite-dimensional irreducible $U_{q}(\mathfrak{g})$-modules, where $\mathfrak{g}$ is $\mathfrak{so}(2n+1,\mathbb{C})$ ($B_{n}$-type), $\mathfrak{sp}(2n,\mathbb{C})$ ($C_{n}$-type), and…

We study the Diophantine equation $a^k + b^k = c^k + d^k$ with integer variables and exponent $k>1$, under the linear constraint $(c+d) - (a+b) = h$. We analyze the geometry and arithmetic of these linear slices. On the central slice $h=0$,…

We study generalizations of some results of Jean-Louis Nicolas regarding the relation between small values of Euler's function $\varphi(n)$ and the Riemann Hypothesis. Among other things, we prove that for $1\leq q\leq 10$ and for $q=12,…

Given a separable nonconstant polynomial $f(x)$ with integer coefficients, we consider the set $S$ consisting of the squarefree parts of all the rational values of $f(x)$, and study its behavior modulo primes. Fixing a prime $p$, we…

When $k\ge 4$ and $0\le d\le (k-2)/4$, we consider the system of Diophantine equations \[ x_1^j+\ldots +x_k^j=y_1^j+\ldots +y_k^j\quad (1\le j\le k,\, j\ne k-d). \] We show that in this cousin of a Vinogradov system, there is a paucity of…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be an algebraically closed field, and $A \subset \mathbb{K}[x_{1}, \ldots, x_n]$ be a subalgebra of finite codimension. It is known that there exists a (not necessarily unique) finite filtration of $\mathbb{K}$-algebras \[…

Let $u_k$ be a Lucas sequence. A standard technique for determining the perfect powers in the sequence $u_k$ combines bounds coming from linear forms in logarithms with local information obtained via Frey curves and modularity. The key to…

Let $u_1$ and $u_2$ be two different positive smooth solutions of the equation $\Delta u + n (n - 2) u^{{n + 2}\over {n - 2}} = 0$ in $R^n (n \ge 3).$ By a result of Gidas, Ni and Nirenberg, $u_1$ and $u_2$ are radially symmetric above the…

The $q$-deformed Araki-Woods von Neumann algebras $\Gamma_q(\mathcal{H}_\mathbb{R}, U_t)^{\prime \prime}$ are factors for all $q\in (-1,1)$ whenever $dim(\mathcal{H}_\mathbb{R})\geq 3$. When $dim(\mathcal{H}_\mathbb{R})=2$ they are factors…

The large $N_c$ limit provides relations that can be used to calculate the $\gamma^\ast N \to \Delta(1232)$ quadrupole form factors at low and intermediate $Q^2$ under the assumption of the pion cloud dominance. There are two limitations in…

We show that for any irrational $\alpha$ and any $\tau<8/23$ there are infinitely many $n$ which are the product of two primes for which $$\|n\alpha\|\leq n^{-\tau}.$$ We also show that for all sufficiently large $b$ there exist 3-digit…
