Let $d\equiv 2\pmod 4$ be a square-free integer such that $x^2 - dy^2 =- 1$ and $x^2 - dy^2 = 6$ are solvable in integers. We prove the existence of infinitely many quadruples in $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{d}]$ with the property $D(n)$ when $n \in…

Let s(n) be the number of representations of n as the sum of three squares. We prove a remarkable new identity for s(p^2n)- ps(n) with p being an odd prime. This identity makes nontrivial use of ternary quadratic forms with discriminants…

We investigate the number of representations of a large positive integer as the sum of two squares, two positive integral cubes, and two sixth powers, showing that the anticipated asymptotic formula fails for at most O((log X)^3) positive…

H. J. S. Smith proved Fermat's two-square theorem using the notion of palindromic continuants. In this paper we extend Smith's approach to proper binary quadratic form representations in some commutative Euclidean rings, including rings of…

We show that every sufficiently large integer is a sum of a prime and two almost prime squares, and also a sum of a smooth number and two almost prime squares. The number of such representations is of the expected order of magnitude. We…

Given a positive integer $n$, we let ${\rm sfp}(n)$ denote the squarefree part of $n$. We determine all positive integers $n$ for which $\max \{ {\rm sfp}(n), {\rm sfp}(n+1), {\rm sfp}(n+2) \} \leq 150$ by relating the problem to finding…

A natural number N is said to be palindromic if its binary representation reads the same forwards and backwards. In this paper we study the quotients of two palindromic numbers and answer some basic questions about the resulting sets of…

I discuss a variety of results involving s(n), the number of representations of n as a sum of three squares. One of my objectives is to reveal numerous interesting connections between the properties of this function and certain modular…

This paper extends previous work on linear correlations of representation functions of positive definite binary quadratic forms to allow indefinite forms.

In Section 6.6 of the book {\it Number Theory, Volume I: Tools and Diophantine Equations, Graduate Texts in Mathematics, Volume 239, Springer (2007)}, Cohen investigated the solubility of the equation $n=x^4+y^4$ in the rational numbers…

Let $F$ be a binary form with integer coefficients, non-zero discriminant and degree $d$ with $d$ at least $3$. Let $R_F(Z)$ denote the number of integers of absolute value at most $Z$ which are represented by $F$. We prove that there is a…

We characterize the generating function of the number of representations described in the title in terms of the theory of modular forms. Appealing to this characterization we obtain explicit formulas for the representation numbers as…

Suppose that m is a positive integer, not a perfect square. We present a formula solution to the 2-variable Frobenius problem in Z[\sqrt m] of the "first kind" ([3]).

Hardy and Littlewood conjectured that every large integer $n$ that is not a square is the sum of a prime and a square. They believed that the number $\mathcal{R}(n)$ of such representations for $n = p+m^2$ is asymptotically given by…

Let $a,b>0$ be coprime integers. Assuming a conjecture on Hecke eigenvalues along binary cubic forms, we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of primes of the form $ax^2+by^3$ with $x \leq X^{1/2}$ and $y \leq X^{1/3}$. The proof…

In this paper, we develop a method of evaluating general exponential sums with rational amplitude functions for multiple variables which complements works by T. Cochrane and Z. Zheng on the single variable case. As an application, for…

We revisit old conjectures of Fermat and Euler regarding representation of integers by binary quadratic form x^2+5y^2. Making use of Ramanujan's_1\psi_1 summation formula we establish a new Lambert series identity for…

It is shown that, under some mild technical conditions, representations of prime numbers by binary quadratic forms can be computed in polynomial complexity by exploiting Schoof's algorithm, which counts the number of $\mathbb F_q$-points of…

We establish that almost every positive integer $n$ is the sum of four cubes, two of which are at most $n^{\theta}$, as long as $\theta\geq192/869$. An asymptotic formula for the number of such representations is established when…

Given $h, N \in \mathbb{N}$ satisfying $1 \leqslant h \leqslant N^2$, we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of solutions to the equation $x_1 x_2 - x_3 x_4 = h$ with $x_1, \ldots, x_4 \in [-N,N] \cap \mathbb{Z}$. We use a…
