Capturing forms in dense subsets of finite fields

Brandon Hanson (2013)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

An open problem of arithmetic Ramsey theory asks if given an r-colouring c:ℕ → 1,...,r of the natural numbers, there exist x,y ∈ ℕ such that c(xy) = c(x+y) apart from the trivial solution x = y = 2. More generally, one could replace x+y with a binary linear form and xy with a binary quadratic form. In this paper we examine the analogous problem in a finite field q . Specifically, given a linear form L and a quadratic form Q in two variables, we provide estimates on the necessary size...

On some identities involving spherical means

Gianfranco Cimmino (1989)

Similarity:

For every positive definite quadratic form in n variables the reciprocal of the square root of the discriminant is equal to the arithmetic mean of the values assumed by the form on the n - 1 sphere centered at 0 and with radius 1 raised to the ( - n 2 )-th. power. Various consequences are deduced from this, in particular a simplification of some calculations from which one obtains the possibility of solving linear systems using spherical means rather than determinants.

Another look at real quadratic fields of relative class number 1

Debopam Chakraborty, Anupam Saikia (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

The relative class number H d ( f ) of a real quadratic field K = ℚ (√m) of discriminant d is defined to be the ratio of the class numbers of f and K , where K denotes the ring of integers of K and f is the order of conductor f given by + f K . R. Mollin has shown recently that almost all real quadratic fields have relative class number 1 for some conductor. In this paper we give a characterization of real quadratic fields with relative class number 1 through an elementary approach considering the...

Aposyndesis in

Similarity:

We consider the Golomb and the Kirch topologies in the set of natural numbers. Among other results, we show that while with the Kirch topology every arithmetic progression is aposyndetic, in the Golomb topology only for those arithmetic progressions P ( a , b ) with the property that every prime number that divides a also divides b , it follows that being connected, being Brown, being totally Brown, and being aposyndetic are all equivalent. This characterizes the arithmetic progressions which are...

Numerical characterization of nef arithmetic divisors on arithmetic surfaces

Atsushi Moriwaki (2014)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Similarity:

In this paper, we give a numerical characterization of nef arithmetic -Cartier divisors of C 0 -type on an arithmetic surface. Namely an arithmetic -Cartier divisor D ¯ of C 0 -type is nef if and only if D ¯ is pseudo-effective and deg ^ ( D ¯ 2 ) = vol ^ ( D ¯ ) .

On a certain class of arithmetic functions

Antonio M. Oller-Marcén (2017)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

A homothetic arithmetic function of ratio K is a function f : R such that f ( K n ) = f ( n ) for every n . Periodic arithmetic funtions are always homothetic, while the converse is not true in general. In this paper we study homothetic and periodic arithmetic functions. In particular we give an upper bound for the number of elements of f ( ) in terms of the period and the ratio of f .

Sumsets in quadratic residues

I. D. Shkredov (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

We describe all sets A p which represent the quadratic residues R p in the sense that R = A + A or R = A ⨣ A. Also, we consider the case of an approximate equality R ≈ A + A and R ≈ A ⨣ A and prove that A is then close to a perfect difference set.

Grothendieck and Witt groups in the reduced theory of quadratic forms

Andrzej Sładek (1980)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Abstract. Let F be a formally real field. Denote by G(F) and G t ( F ) the Grothen-dieck group of quadratic forms over F and its torsion subgroup, respectively. In this paper we study the structure of the factor group G ( F ) / G t ( F ) . This reduced Grothendieck group is a free Abelian group. The main results of the paper describe some sets of generators for G ( F ) / G t ( F ) , which in many cases allow us to find a basis for the group. Throughout the paper we use the language of the reduced theory of quadratic forms. In the...
