We determine the minimal number of variables $\Gamma^*(d, K)$ which guarantees a nontrivial solution for every additive form of degree $d=2m$, $m$ odd, $m \ge 3$ over the six ramified quadratic extensions of $\mathbb{Q}_2$. We prove that if…

We determine the minimal number of variables $\Gamma^*(d, K)$ which guarantees a nontrivial solution for every additive form of degree $d=4$ over the four ramified quadratic extensions $\mathbb{Q}_2(\sqrt{2}), \mathbb{Q}_2(\sqrt{10}),…

We prove that an additive form of degree $d=2m$, $m$ odd, $m\ge3$, over the unramified quadratic extension $\mathbb{Q}_2(\sqrt{5})$ has a nontrivial zero if the number of variables $s$ satisifies $s \ge 4d+1$. If $3 \nmid d$, then there…

We prove that an additive form of degree $d=2m$, $m$ odd over any totally ramified extension of $\mathbb{Q}_2$ has a nontrivial zero if the number of variables $s$ satisifies $s \ge \frac{d^2}{4} + 3d + 1$.

We derive an upper bound for the least number of variables needed to guarantee that a system of t quadratic forms (t>=2) over a field F has a nontrivial zero. In particular, if F is a local field, then 2t^2+3 variables insure the existence…

Let $Q(x_1, \cdots,x_n)$ be a real indefinite quadratic form of the type $(r,s)$, $n=r+s$, signature $\sigma=r-s$ and determinant $D\neq 0$. Let $\Gamma_{r,n-r}$ denote the infimum of all numbers $\Gamma$ such that for any real numbers…

We give an upper bound for the norm of the determinant of additively indecomposable, totally positive definite quadratic forms defined over the ring of integers of totally real number fields. We apply these results to find lower and upper…

Let $K$ be a number field, $k\geq 2$ an integer, $(K^*)^k$ the $k$-fold direct product of $K^*$ with coordinatewise multiplication, and $\Gamma$ a finitely generated subgroup of rank $r$ of $(K^*)^k$. Further, let $H(\alpha )$ denote the…

For all $\alpha_1,\alpha_2\in(1,2)$ with $1/\alpha_1+1/\alpha_2>5/3$, we show that the number of pairs $(n_1,n_2)$ of positive integers with $N=\lfloor{n_1^{\alpha_1}}\rfloor+\lfloor{n_2^{\alpha_2}}\rfloor$ is equal to…

In an earlier paper [4], we derived asymptotic formulas for the number of representations of zero and of large positive integers by the cubic forms in seven variables which can be written as $L_1(x_1,x_2,x_3) Q_1(x_1,x_2,x_3)+…

We show that all $p$-adic quintic forms in at least $n>4562911$ variables have a non-trivial zero. We also derive new result concerning systems of cubic and quadratic forms.

We show that a quartic $p$-adic form with at least $3192$ variables possesses a non-trivial zero. We also prove new results on systems of cubic, quadratic and linear forms. As an example, we show that for a system comprising two cubic forms…

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 axially symmetric solutions to the $Q$-curvature type problem $$ \alpha P_6 u + 120(1-\frac{e^{6u}}{\int_{\mathbb{S}^6} e^{6u}})=0 \ \ \ \ \ \mbox{on} \ \mathbb{S}^6 $$ must be constants, provided that $ \frac{1}{2}\leq \alpha…

We prove that, if $\Gamma$ is a finite connected cubic vertex-transitive graph, then either there exists a semiregular automorphism of $\Gamma$ of order at least $6$, or the number of vertices of $\Gamma$ is bounded above by an absolute…

We study small non-trivial solutions of quadratic congruences of the form $x_1^2+\alpha_2x_2^2+\alpha_3x_3^2\equiv 0 \bmod{q}$, with $q$ being an odd natural number, in an average sense. This extends previous work of the authors in which…

It is established that for every pair of additive forms $f=\sum_{i=1}^s a_i x_i^k, g=\sum_{i=1}^s b_i x_i^k$ of degree $k$ in $s>2k^2$ variables the equations $f=g=0$ have a non-trivial $p$-adic solution for all odd primes $p$.

Recently, the authors showed that for every irrational number $\alpha$, there exist infinitely many positive integers $n$ represented by any given positive definite binary quadratic form $Q$, satisfying $||\alpha n||<n^{-(1/2-\varepsilon)}$…

In this article, we find bases for the spaces of modular forms $M_{3}(\Gamma _{0}(40),\left( \frac{d}{\cdot }\right) )$ for $d=-4,-8,-20\text{ and }-40.$ We then derive formulas for the number of representations of a positive integer by all…

We study nonnegative (psd) real sextic forms $q(x_0,x_1,x_2)$ that are not sums of squares (sos). Such a form has at most ten real zeros. We give a complete and explicit characterization of all sets $S\subset\mathbb{P}^2(\mathbb{R})$ with…
