We present an algorithm to determine the Galois group of an irreducible monic polynomial $f(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ of degree at most five. Following work of Conrad, Dummit, and Stauduhar this comes down to answering two questions: Is a given…

Let $n \geq 2$ be an integer and let $K$ be a number field with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$. We prove that the set of ternary $n$-ic forms with coefficients in $\mathcal{O}_K$ and fixed nonzero discriminant, breaks up into finitely…

We introduce the Habiro ring of a number field $\mathbb{K}$ and modules over it graded by $K_3(\mathbb{K})$. Elements of these modules are collections of power series at each complex root of unity that arithmetically glue with each other…

We develop a version of the Kloosterman circle method with a bump function that is used to provide asymptotics for weighted representation numbers of nonsingular integral quadratic forms. Unlike many applications of the Kloosterman circle…

Zeckendorf proved that every positive integer can be written as a decomposition of non-adjacent Fibonacci numbers. Baird-Smith, Epstein, Flint, and Miller converted the process of decomposing an integer $n$ into a 2-player game, using the…

Let $p$ be an odd prime and $d = p^{\tau}(p-1)$. In the spirit of Aritn's conjecture, consider the system of two diagonal forms of degree $d$ in $s$ variables given by \begin{equation*}\begin{split} a_1x_1^d + \cdots + a_sx_s^d = 0\\…

Naidu classified pairs of finite groups and 3-cocycles that lead to equivalent Dijkgraaf-Witten theories for 3-manifolds. We establish analogous equivalences for arithmetic Dijkgraaf-Witten theory over totally imaginary number fields F…

In this work we achieve a full understanding of the so-called entanglement of radicals, showing that over any field there are extremely few additive relations among radicals. Our results complete a famous theorem by Kneser from 1975 on the…

We introduce a new generalization of Euler's $\varphi$-function associated with a system of polynomials of several variables. We reprove by a short direct approach certain known related identities, and study some other special cases that do…

A monic polynomial $f(x)\in {\mathbb Z}[x]$ of degree $n$ is called monogenic if $f(x)$ is irreducible over ${\mathbb Q}$ and $\{1,\theta,\theta^2,\ldots ,\theta^{n-1}\}$ is a basis for the ring of integers of ${\mathbb Q}(\theta)$, where…

We study cancellation in sums of Hecke eigenvalues over irreducible quadratic polynomials over short intervals. In particular, we look at an average over bases of Hecke forms of weight $k$ in the range $\vert k-K\vert<K^\theta$ where…

It has been well known since Gauss that the principality of an ideal in a real quadratic field $K$ is equivalent to the solvability of a certain generalized Pell equations. In this paper, we combine this classical result with Srinivasan's…

Let $\mathcal{F}(\textbf{k},\mathfrak{q})$ be the set of primitive Hilbert modular forms of weight $\textbf{k}$ and prime level $\mathfrak{q}$, with trivial central character. We study the one-level density of low-lying zeros of $L(s,\pi)$…

Rowland found a matrix product formula for generating functions counting binomial coefficients by their $p$-adic valuations. A natural generalization of binomial coefficients was introduced by Knuth and Wilf defined by a sequence $C$. We…

We formulate Shintani's invariant in terms of the cyclic quantum dilogarithm. Building on earlier results that expressed Shintani's invariant using the $q$-Pochhammer symbol, we show how the cyclic quantum dilogarithm naturally arises in…

Generalized Cunningham chains are sets of the form $\{f^n(z)\}_{n\ge0}$ where all its elements are prime numbers and $f$ is a linear polynomial with integer coefficients. We generalize this definition further to include starting terms that…

We derive an asymptotic formula for the sum $$ H = \sum_{0<\gamma_k\leqslant T,\, 1\leqslant k\leqslant m}h(a_1\gamma_1+a_2\gamma_2+\cdots + a_m\gamma_m), $$ where $a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_m$ are integers whose sum equals zero, $\gamma_1,…

We examine sets $\mathscr A$ of natural numbers having the property that for some real number $p\in (0,2)$, one has the subconvex bound $$\int_0^1 \Bigl| \sum_{n\in \mathscr A\cap [1,N]}e(n\alpha)\Bigr|^p\, {\rm d}\alpha \ll N^{-1}|\mathscr…

Let $C_\ell/\mathbb Q$ denote the curve with affine model $y^\ell=x(x^\ell-1)$, where $\ell\geq 3$ is prime. In this paper we study the limiting distributions of the normalized $L$-polynomials of the curves by computing their Sato-Tate…

Pursuing ideas in a recent work of the second author, we determine the isometry classes of unimodular lattices of rank 28, as well as the isometry classes of unimodular lattices of rank 29 without nonzero vectors of norm <=2.
