New upper bounds for taxicab and cabtaxi numbers.
We reformulate more explicitly the results of Momose, Ribet and Papier concerning the images of the Galois representations attached to newforms without complex multiplication, restricted to the case of weight and trivial nebentypus. We compute two examples of these newforms, with a single inner twist, and we prove that for every inert prime greater than the image is as large as possible. As a consequence, we prove that the groups for every prime , and for every prime , are Galois groups...
We give the maximal length of a Newton or a Schinzel sequence in a quadratic extension of a global field. In the case of a number field, the maximal length of a Schinzel sequence is 1, except in seven particular cases, and the Newton sequences are also finite, except for at most finitely many cases, all real. We give the maximal length of these sequences in the special cases. We have similar results in the case of a quadratic extension of a function field , taking in account that the ring of integers...
An element in a ring is clean (or, unit-regular) if it is the sum (or, the product) of an idempotent and a unit, and is nil-clean if it is the sum of an idempotent and a nilpotent. Firstly, we show that Jacobson’s lemma does not hold for nil-clean elements in a ring, answering a question posed by Koşan, Wang and Zhou (2016). Secondly, we present new counter-examples to Diesl’s question whether a nil-clean element is clean in a ring. Lastly, we give new examples of unit-regular elements that are...
We complete our previous determination of the torsion primes of elliptic curves over cubic number fields, by showing that is not one of those.
