In this paper we prove two results. The first theorem uses a paper of Kim \cite{K} to show that for fixed primes $p_1,...,p_k$, and for fixed integers $m_1,...,m_k$, with $p_i\not|m_i$, the numbers $(e_{p_1}(n),...,e_{p_k}(n))$ are…
Let p be any prime, and $p^(\nu_p(n!))$ the maximal power of $p$ dividing $n!$. It is proved that there exists a positive integer $n_0$, which depends only on $p$, such that $q^(\nu_q(n!)) < p^(\nu_p(n!))$ for all $n \ge n_0$ and all primes…
An asymptotic formula for the number of $n \le x$ such that $n$ does not divide $P(n)!$ is given, where P(n) is the largest prime factor of $n$.
Let $p$ be a large prime number. We prove that any integer $\lambda$ modulo $p$ can be represented in the form $$ m!n! +\sum_{i=1}^{47}n_i!\equiv \lambda \pmod p, $$ with $\max\{m,n,n_1,\ldots,n_{47}\}\ll p^{1300/1301}.$ This improves the…
Let $p>5$ be a fixed prime. We obtain an asymptotic formula related to small solutions of quadratic congruences of the form $x_1^2+x_2^2\equiv x_3^2\bmod{p^n}$ where $\max\{|x_1|,|x_2|,|x_3|\}\le p^{\nu n}$ with $\nu>1/2$.
Let $p$ be a fixed odd prime and $Q(x,y,z)=ax^2+bxy+cy^2+dxz+eyz+fz^2$ be a fixed quadratic form in $\mathbb{Z}[x,y,z]$ which is non-degenerate in $\mathbb{F}_p[x,y,z]$ and $(a(4ac-b^2),p)=1.$ Let $(x_0,y_0,z_0)$ be a fixed point in…
We estimate the number of solutions of certain diagonal congruences involving factorials. We use these results to bound exponential sums with products of two factorials $n!m!$ and also derive asymptotic formulas for the number of solutions…
We estimate character sums with n!, on average, and individually. These bounds are used to derive new results about various congruences modulo a prime p and obtain new information about the spacings between quadratic nonresidues modulo p.…
Let $D$ be a positive nonsquare integer, $p$ a prime number with $p \nmid D$, and $0< \sigma < 0.847$. We show that if the equation $x^2+D=p^n$ has a huge solution $(x_0,n_0)_{(p,\sigma)}$, then there exists an effectively computable…
Let $p$ be a sufficiently large prime number, $r$ be any given positive integer. Suppose that $a_1,\,\dots,\,a_r$ are pairwise distinct and not zero modulo $p$. Let $N(a_1,\,\dots,\,a_r;\,p)$ denote the number of…
Let $E/\mathbb Q$ be an elliptic curve, and denote by $N(p)$ the number of $\mathbb{F}_p$-points of the reduction modulo $p$ of $E$. A conjecture of Koblitz, refined by Zywina, states that the number of primes $p \leq X$ at which $N(p)$ is…
Let m>=1 be an arbitrary fixed integer and let N_m(x) count the number of odd integers u<=x such that the order of 2 modulo u is not divisible by m. In case m is prime estimates for N_m(x) were given by H. Mueller that were subsequently…
Let \(d_k(p)\) denote the natural density of positive integers whose \(k\)-th smallest prime divisor is \(p\). Erd\H{o}s asked whether, for each fixed \(k\), the sequence \(p\mapsto d_k(p)\) is unimodal as \(p\) ranges over the primes.…
We study the factorization of the numbers $N = X^2+c$, where $c$ is a fixed constant, and this independently of the value of gcd$(X,c)$. We prove the existence of a family of sequences with arithmetic difference $(U_n, Z_n)$ generating…
Let $q$ be a prime. We classify the odd primes $p\neq q$ such that the equation $x^2\equiv q\pmod{p}$ has a solution, concretely, we find a subgroup $\mathbb{L}_{4q}$ of the multiplicative group $\mathbb{U}_{4q}$ of integers relatively…
We study number theoretic properties of the map $x \mapsto x^{x} \mod{p}$, where $x \in \{1,2,\ldots,p-1\}$, and improve on some recent upper bounds, due to Kurlberg, Luca, and Shparlinski, on the number of primes $p < N$ for which the map…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ and without complex multiplication. For a prime $p$ of good reduction for $E$, we write $\#E_p(\mathbb{F}_p) = p + 1 - a_p(E)$ for the number of $\mathbb{F}_p$-rational points of the…
If $p\geq 5$ is prime and $k\geq 4$ is an even integer with $(p-1)\nmid k$ we consider the Eisenstein series $G_k$ on $\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$ modulo powers of $p$. It is classically known that for such $k$ we have $G_k\equiv…
It is well known that for any prime $p\equiv 3$ (mod $4$), the class numbers of the quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{p})$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-p})$, $h(p)$ and $h(-p)$ respectively, are odd. It is natural to ask whether there is a…
Let $E_n$ be the $n$-th Euler number and $(a)_n=a(a+1)\cdots (a+n-1)$ the rising factorial. Let $p>3$ be a prime. In 2012, Sun proved the that $$ \sum^{(p-1)/2}_{k=0}(-1)^k(4k+1)\frac{(\frac{1}{2})_k^3}{k!^3} \equiv…
