Let $n\ge1$, $r\ge0$ and $s\ge0$ be integers satisfying $4+r+3 s\le3^{n+1}$. Given linear polynomials $f_{i}(x)=m_{i} x+n_{i}$ for $1 \le i \le r+s$, where the coefficients $m_{i} , n_{i}$ are positive integers satisfying certain…

We prove finiteness and give an explicit upper bound on the number of $S$-integral points on affine curves satisfying a certain rank-genus inequality. We achieve this by developing an analogue of the Chabauty method, embedding the curve…

Recently we introduced a new class of relations for Bernoulli symmetric polynomials. This manuscript shows that these relations are valid for arbitrary homogeneous symmetric polynomial. Analysis of these relations leads to the discovery of…

The Hardy function $Z(t)=\zeta(1/2+it)e^{i\theta(t)}$ takes real values for real $t$ and its real zeros are zeros $\zeta(s)$ on the critical line $1/2+it$. After discovering the critical value of the local maximum in 1956, Lehmer formulated…

For a field $\mathbb{F}$, what are all functions $f \colon \mathbb{F} \rightarrow \mathbb{F}$ that satisfy the functional equation $f \left( (x+y)/(x-y) \right) = (f(x) + f(y))/(f(x) - f(y))$ for all $ x \neq y$ in $\mathbb{F}$? We solve…

We study orbits of semigroups of $\text{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$, and demonstrate reciprocity obstructions: we show that certain such orbits avoid squares, but not as a consequence of obstructions inherited from an algebraic set, and not as a…

Let $K$ be a number field with ring of integers $R = \mathcal{O}_K$. We show that if $R$ is not a principal ideal domain, then the symplectic group $\operatorname{Sp}_{2n}(R)$ has non-trivial rational cohomology in its virtual cohomological…

A circle of curvature $n\in\mathbb{Z}^+$ is a part of finitely many primitive integral Apollonian circle packings. Each such packing has a circle of minimal curvature $-c\leq 0$, and we study the distribution of $c/n$ across all primitive…

Let $\Gamma\subseteq\text{PSL}(2, \mathbb{R})$ correspond to the group of units of norm $1$ in an Eichler order $\mathrm{O}$ of an indefinite quaternion algebra over $\mathbb{Q}$. Closed geodesics on $\Gamma\backslash\mathbb{H}$ correspond…

The {\em Prym} of a cyclic covering of smooth projective curves is the ``new'' part of the Jacobian: the quotient of the Jacobian of the covering curve by the Jacobians of the intermediate covers. Given a family of such coverings, the…

Motivated by Erd\H{o}s' ternary conjecture and by recent work of Cui--Ma--Jiang [``Geometric progressions meet Cantor sets'', \textit{Chaos Solitons Fractals} \textbf{163} (2022), 112567.] on intersections between geometric progressions and…

We propose a deterministic algorithm based on Coppersmith's method that employs a rank-3 lattice to address factoring-related problems. An interesting aspect of our approach is that we utilize the second vector in the LLL-reduced basis to…

Let $f:\mathbb{P}^1\to\mathbb{P}^1$ be a rational map of degree $d\geq2$ defined over a number field $K$ and let $\alpha\in\mathbb{P}^1(K)$. We consider the lower and upper Minkowski dimensions of the arboreal Galois group $G_{f,\alpha}$…

The basis functions of the Fourier interpolation formula of Radchenko and Viazovska, constructed by means of weakly holomorphic modular forms for the Hecke theta group, are entire functions of order $2$ having interesting time-frequency…

In this paper, we investigate the determinants involving some trigonometric functions. We establish a connection between these determinants and the special values of Dirichlet L-functions, thereby extending Guo's results to arbitrary…

We investigate Dirichlet-type series generated by representation functions that count the number of ways an integer can be expressed as a sum of 'k' signed higher even powers. By combining generalized theta generating functions with a…

We consider composite $n$ satisfying the congruence $$n \cdot \sigma_k(n) \equiv 2 \pmod{\phi(n)},$$ and show a "flanking" structure: $14$ appears in both $S_{k-1}$ and $S_{k+1}$ whenever certain values of $n$ appear in $S_k$; and,…

Let $ \lfloor {x} \rfloor $ denote the greatest integer less than or equal to a real number $x$. Given real numbers $0<\alpha_1 < \alpha_2 < \cdots< \alpha_k < 1$ satisfying a certain condition, we show that there are infinitely many…

Heilbronn gave a sufficient condition for a number field with a totally ramified prime to fail to be norm-Euclidean. We say that Heilbronn's criterion applies to a polynomial $f$ if it applies to the number field $K=\mathbb{Q}[x]/(f)$…

We present methods to compute Selmer groups associated to mod p Galois representations rho over a number field K, with a particular focus on comparing their ranks with periods coming from cohomology classes associated to rho by Serre's…
