The modular curves in the family $X_1(N)$ for natural numbers $N$ parametrize elliptic curves over the complex numbers with a distinguished point of order $N$. The purpose of this paper is to better understand how to calculate the degrees…
We describe the relations among the $\ell$-torsion conjecture, a conjecture of Malle giving an upper bound for the number of extensions, and the discriminant multiplicity conjecture. We prove that the latter two conjectures are equivalent…
The ideal class monoid for an order $R$ in a finite field extension $E/F$ of a number field, denoted by $\overline{\mathrm{Cl}}(R)$, is a fundamental object to study in number theory which has useful applications in algebraic geometry and…
We prove that infinite Galois extensions of number fields with Galois group of finite exponent have the Northcott property. The main novelty of our approach lies in the application of a theorem of Segal on profinite groups.
For each finite subgroup $G$ of $PGL_2(\mathbb{Q})$, and for each integer $n$ coprime to $6$, we construct explicitly infinitely many Galois extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$ with group $G$ and whose ideal class group has $n$-rank at least…
By Northcott's Theorem there are only finitely many algebraic points in affine $n$-space of fixed degree over a given number field and of height at most $X$. For large $X$ the asymptotics of these cardinalities have been investigated by…
The goal of this paper is to obtain lower bounds on the height of an algebraic number in a relative setting, extending previous work of Amoroso and Masser. Specifically, in our first theorem we obtain an effective bound for the height of an…
Let $L$ be a degree $2$ Galois extension of the field $K$ and $M$ an $n\times n$ matrix with coefficients in $L$. Let $\langle \ ,\ \rangle : L^n\times L^n\to L$ be the sesquilinear form associated to the involution $L\to L$ fixing $K$. We…
Suppose $\left\{x_1, \dots, x_n\right\} \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ is a set of $n$ points in the plane with diameter $\leq 1$, meaning $|x_i - x_j| \leq 1$ for all $1 \leq i,j \leq n$. We show that the ratio of the number of ``neighbors''…
Let $K$ be a totally real number field of degree $n$ over $\mathbb{Q}$, with discriminant and regulator $\Delta_K, R_K$ respectively. In this paper, using a similar method to van Woerden, we prove that the number of classes of perfect unary…
For a prime number $\ell$ and an extension of number fields $K/F$, we prove new lower bounds on the $\ell$-rank of the ideal class group of $K$ based on prime ramification in $K/F$. Unlike related results from the literature, our bound is…
For positive integers $n$, the truncated binomial expansions of $(1+x)^n$ which consist of all the terms of degree $\le r$ where $1 \le r \le n-2$ appear always to be irreducible. For fixed $r$ and $n$ sufficiently large, this is known to…
We determine the density of integral binary forms of given degree that have squarefree discriminant, proving for the first time that the lower density is positive. Furthermore, we determine the density of integral binary forms that cut out…
In previous works, we described algorithms to compute the number field cut out by the mod ell representation attached to a modular form of level N=1. In this article, we explain how these algorithms can be generalised to forms of higher…
We study the differential uniformity of the Wan-Lidl polynomials over finite fields. A general upper bound, independent of the order of the field, is established. Additional bounds are established in settings where one of the parameters is…
In 1988 Garcia and Voloch proved the upper bound 4n^{4/3}(p-1)^{2/3} for the number of solutions over a prime finite field F_p of the Fermat equation x^n+y^n=a, where a \in F_p^* and n \ge 2 is a divisor of p-1 such that (n-1/2)^4 \ge p-1.…
Let $G$ be a finite group and let $ram^{t}(G)$ denote the minimal positive integer $n$ such that $G$ can be realized as the Galois group of a tamely ramified extension of $\mathbb{Q}$ ramified only at $n$ finite primes. Let $d(G)$ denote…
An "edge guard set" of a plane graph $G$ is a subset $\Gamma$ of edges of $G$ such that each face of $G$ is incident to an endpoint of an edge in $\Gamma$. Such a set is said to guard $G$. We improve the known upper bounds on the number of…
Following the previous work of Nikulin and Agol, Belolipetsky, Storm, and Whyte it is known that there exist only finitely many (totally real) number fields that can serve as fields of definition of arithmetic hyperbolic reflection groups.…
In the degree-diameter problem for Abelian Cayley and circulant graphs of diameter 2 and arbitrary degree d there is a wide gap between the best lower and upper bounds valid for all d, being quadratic functions with leading coefficient 1/4…
