Markoff mod-$p$ graphs are conjectured to be connected for all primes $p$. In this paper, we use results of Chen and Bourgain, Gamburd, and Sarnak to confirm the conjecture for all $p > 3.448\cdot10^{392}$. We also provide a method that…

The Markoff graph modulo $p$ is known to be connected for all but finitely many primes $p$ (see Eddy, Fuchs, Litman, Martin, Tripeny, and Vanyo [arxiv:2308.07579]), and it is conjectured that these graphs are connected for all primes. In…

In 2016, Bourgain, Gamburd, and Sarnak proved that Strong Approximation holds for the Markoff surface in most cases. That is, the modulo $p$ solutions to the equation $X_1^2+X_2^2+X_3^2=3X_1X_2X_3$ are covered by the integer solutions for…

We confirm, for the primes up to 3000, the conjecture of Bourgain, Gamburd, and Sarnak on strong approximation for the Markoff surface $x^2+y^2+z^2 = 3xyz$ modulo primes. For primes congruent to 3 modulo 4, we find data suggesting that some…

In 2021, Chen proved a congruence for the degree of a certain map on the space of covers of elliptic curves. He concluded as a corollary that the size of any connected component of the Markoff mod $p$ graph is divisible by $p$. In…

The generalized Markoff mod $p$ graph is defined via the equation $x^2+y^2+z^2=xyz+\kappa$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$ of prime order $p$. In this paper, we investigate the topological properties of the graph such as non-planarity,…

The title equation, where $p>3$ is a prime number $\not\equiv 7 \pmod 8$, $q$ is an odd prime number and $x,y,n$ are positive integers with $x,y$ relatively prime, is studied. When $p\equiv 3\pmod 8$, we prove (Theorem 2.3) that there are…

We show that the existence of a non-trivial solution of $x^n+y^n=p^n$, with $p$ a prime number, is equivalent to the existence of a solution of a certain (over-determined) system of $(n-1)$-recursion relations ("zipper" equations) in…

The solvability of Diophantine quartic equations is a contemporary area of interest due to its connection with generalized Fermat's equation. In this work, we are interested in the integer solutions of a similar Diophantine equation p u^2 =…

We study the Markov chain $x_{n+1}=ax_n+b_n$ on a finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$, where $a \in \mathbb{F}_p$ is fixed and $b_n$ are independent and identically distributed random variables in $\mathbb{F}_p$. Conditionally on the Riemann…

In this paper we find non-negative integer solutions for exponential Diophantine equations of the type $p \cdot 3^x+ p^y=z^2,$ where $p$ is a prime number. We prove that such equation has a unique solution…

A triple (a,b,c) of positive integers is called a Markoff triple iff it satisfies the diophantine equation a2 + b2 + c2 = abc . Recasting the Markoff tree, whose vertices are Markoff triples, in the framework of intergral upper triangular…

We study the orbits of the solutions to the Markoff-type equation $$X^2 + Y^2 + Z^2 = XYZ +AX + BY + CZ + D$$ in $\mathbb{F}_p$ for fixed integers $A, B, C,$ and $D$ under the group of symmetries $\Gamma$ generated by \[\begin{split}&V_1:…

Let $p$ be a prime integer, $\mathbb{Z}_p$ the finite field of order $p$ and $\mathbb{Z}^{*}_{p}$ is its multiplicative cyclic group. We consider the Diophantine equation $x^n + y^n = z^n$ with $1 \leq n \leq \frac{p - 1}{2}$. Our main aim…

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…

In this article, I study and solve the exponential Diophantine equation $M_p^{x} + (M_q + 1)^{y}= (lz)^2$ where $M_p$ and $M_q$ are Mersenne primes, $l$ is a prime number, and $x,y$, and $z$ are non-negative integers. Several illustrations…

This article improves certain results of Dino Lorenzini concerning the groups of connected components of special fibres of N\'eron models of abelian varieties. Lorenzini has shown the existence of a four step filtration on the prime-to-$p$…

In this paper, we show that for almost all primes p there is an integer solution x in [2,p-1] to the congruence x^x == x mod p. The solutions can be interpretated as fixed points of the map x -> x^x mod p, and we study numerically and…

A triple (a, b, c) of positive integers is called a Markoff triple iff it satisfies the Diophantine equation a2+b2+c2=abc . Recasting the Markoff tree, whose vertices are Markoff triples, in the framework of integral upper triangular 3x3…

The Markov numbers are the positive integer solutions of the Diophantine equation $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 3xyz$. Already in 1880, Markov showed that all these solutions could be generated along a binary tree. So it became quite usual (and…
