In this paper, it is proved that every sufficiently large even integer can be represented as the sum of two squares of primes, two cubes of primes, two biquadrates of primes and 16 powers of 2. Furthermore, there are at least 5.313% odd…

Let $p,q>1$ be two relatively prime integers and $\mathbb{N}$ the set of nonnegative integers. Let $f_{p,q}(n)$ be the number of different expressions of $n$ written as a sum of distinct terms taken from…

Suppose that $n$ is $0$ or $4$ modulo $6$. We show that there are infinitely many primes of the form $p^2 + nq^2$ with both $p$ and $q$ prime, and obtain an asymptotic for their number. In particular, when $n = 4$ we verify the `Gaussian…

We prove that for all $n\geq 1$ there exists a number between $n^2$ and $(n+1)^2$ with at most 4 prime factors. This is the first result of this kind that holds for every $n\geq 1$ rather than just sufficiently large $n$. Our approach…

In this paper, we prove that for any odd prime larger than 3, the modular group representation associated to the SO$(p)_2$-TQFT can be defined over the ring of integers of a cyclotomic field. We will provide explicit integral bases. In the…

It is proved that for each prime field $GF(p)$, there is an integer $f(p)$ such that a 4-connected matroid has at most $f(p)$ inequivalent representations over $GF(p)$. We also prove a stronger theorem that obtains the same conclusion for…

In this short paper we prove that the square of an odd prime number cannot be a very perfect number.

Let $Q$ be a positive-definite quaternary quadratic form with integer coefficients. We study the problem of giving bounds on the largest positive integer $n$ that is locally represented by $Q$ but not represented. Assuming that $n$ is…

For odd prime numbers $p < q$, let $\Phi_{pq} \in \mathbb{Z}[X]$ be the binary cyclotomic polynomial of order $pq$. In this paper, we prove that the second gap of $\Phi_{pq}$ is the maximum of $r-1$ and $p-r-1$, where $r$ is the remainder…

Let $f(n,k)$ be the largest number of positive integers not exceeding $n$ from which one cannot select $k+1$ pairwise coprime integers, and let $E(n,k)$ be the set of positive integers which do not exceed $n$ and can be divided by at least…

We prove that the parameter $x$ of a tight set $\mathcal{T}$ of a hyperbolic quadric $\mathsf{Q}^+(2n+1,q)$ of an odd rank $n+1$ satisfies ${x\choose 2}+w(w-x)\equiv 0\mod q+1$, where $w$ is the number of points of $\mathcal{T}$ in any…

We prove that for pairwise co-prime numbers $k_1,\dots,k_d \geq 2$ there does not exist any infinite set of positive integers $A$ such that the representation function $r_A (n) = \{ (a_1, \dots, a_d) \in A^d : k_1 a_1 + \dots + k_d a_d = n…

Let $Q$ be a positive-definite quaternary quadratic form with prime discriminant. We give an explicit lower bound on the number of representations of a positive integer $n$ by $Q$. This problem is connected with deriving an upper bound on…

Suzuki (1998) showed that an imprimitive Q-polynomial association scheme with first multiplicity at least three is either Q-bipartite, Q-antipodal, or with four or six classes. The exceptional case with four classes has recently been ruled…

This paper is a contribution to the description of some congruences on the odd prime factors of the class number of the number fields. An example of results obtained is: Let L/Q be a finite Galois solvable extension with [L:Q]=N, where N >…

By means of principal isotopes lH(a,b) of the algebra lH [Ra 99] we give an exhaustive and not repetitive description of all 4-dimensional absolute-valued algebras satisfying (x^p, x^q, x^r) = 0 for fixed integers p, q, r \in\{1,2\}. For…

Let $N$ be an odd perfect number. Then, Euler proved that there exist some integers $n, \alpha$ and a prime $q$ such that $N = n^{2}q^{\alpha}$, $q \nmid n$, and $q \equiv \alpha \equiv 1 \bmod 4$. In this note, we prove that the ratio…

We study the existence and uniqueness of the positive solutions of the problem (P): $\partial_tu-\Delta u+u^q=0$ ($q>1$) in $\Omega\times (0,\infty)$, $u=\infty$ on $\partial\Omega\times (0,\infty)$ and $u(.,0)\in L^1(\Omega)$, when…

In the present paper, we study various Erd\H{o}s type geometric problems in the setting of the integers modulo $q$, where $q=p^l$ is an odd prime power. More precisely, we prove certain results about the distribution of triangles and…

In this work we find new minimum sizes for the maximal partial spreads of PG$(3,q)$, for $q=8,9,16$ and for every $q$ such that $25\leq q\leq 101$. Furthermore, for $q=8,9,16,25$ and 27 we find all the unknown sizes between our minimums and…
