We study the integral points on $\mathbb P_ n\setminus D$, where $D$ is the branch locus of a projection from an hypersurface in $\mathbb P_{n+1}$ to a hyperplane $H\simeq\mathbb P_n$. In doing that we follow the approach proposed in a…

Due to Narkiewicz a field $F$ has property (P) if for no polynomial $f\in F[x]$ of degree at least two there is an infinite $f$-invariant subset of $F$. We present a new example of an algebraic extension of $\mathbb{Q}$ satisfying (P). This…

Let $K$ be a number field, and let $F$ be a symmetric bilinear form in $2N$ variables over $K$. Let $Z$ be a subspace of $K^N$. A classical theorem of Witt states that the bilinear space $(Z,F)$ can be decomposed into an orthogonal sum of…
