On some universal sums of generalized polygonal numbers

Fan Ge, Zhi-Wei Sun (2016)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

For m = 3,4,... those pₘ(x) = (m-2)x(x-1)/2 + x with x ∈ ℤ are called generalized m-gonal numbers. Sun (2015) studied for what values of positive integers a,b,c the sum ap₅ + bp₅ + cp₅ is universal over ℤ (i.e., any n ∈ ℕ = 0,1,2,... has the form ap₅(x) + bp₅(y) + cp₅(z) with x,y,z ∈ ℤ). We prove that p₅ + bp₅ + 3p₅ (b = 1,2,3,4,9) and p₅ + 2p₅ + 6p₅ are universal over ℤ, as conjectured by Sun. Sun also conjectured that any n ∈ ℕ can be written as p ( x ) + p ( y ) + p 11 ( z ) and 3p₃(x) + p₅(y) + p₇(z) with x,y,z...

Positivity of quadratic base change L -functions

Hervé Jacquet, Chen Nan (2001)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

We show that certain quadratic base change L -functions for Gl ( 2 ) are non-negative at their center of symmetry.

Minimal 𝒮 -universality criteria may vary in size

Noam D. Elkies, Daniel M. Kane, Scott Duke Kominers (2013)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

In this note, we give simple examples of sets 𝒮 of quadratic forms that have minimal 𝒮 -universality criteria of multiple cardinalities. This answers a question of Kim, Kim, and Oh [KKO05] in the negative.

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...

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.

Perfect unary forms over real quadratic fields

Dan Yasaki (2013)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

Let F = ( d ) be a real quadratic field with ring of integers 𝒪 . In this paper we analyze the number h d of GL 1 ( 𝒪 ) -orbits of homothety classes of perfect unary forms over F as a function of d . We compute h d exactly for square-free d 200000 . By relating perfect forms to continued fractions, we give bounds on h d and address some questions raised by Watanabe, Yano, and Hayashi.

Tameness criterion for posets with zero-relations and three-partite subamalgams of tiled orders

Stanisław Kasjan (2002)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

A criterion for tame prinjective type for a class of posets with zero-relations is given in terms of the associated prinjective Tits quadratic form and a list of hypercritical posets. A consequence of this result is that if Λ is a three-partite subamalgam of a tiled order then it is of tame lattice type if and only if the reduced Tits quadratic form q Λ associated with Λ in [26] is weakly non-negative. The result generalizes a criterion for tameness of such orders given by Simson [28]...

On the number of representations of a positive integer by certain quadratic forms

Ernest X. W. Xia (2014)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

For natural numbers a,b and positive integer n, let R(a,b;n) denote the number of representations of n in the form i = 1 a ( x ² i + x i y i + y ² i ) + 2 j = 1 b ( u ² j + u j v j + v ² j ) . Lomadze discovered a formula for R(6,0;n). Explicit formulas for R(1,5;n), R(2,4;n), R(3,3;n), R(4,2;n) and R(5,1;n) are determined in this paper by using the (p;k)-parametrization of theta functions due to Alaca, Alaca and Williams.

Optimality of the Width- w Non-adjacent Form: General Characterisation and the Case of Imaginary Quadratic Bases

Clemens Heuberger, Daniel Krenn (2013)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

We consider digit expansions j = 0 - 1 Φ j ( d j ) with an endomorphism Φ of an Abelian group. In such a numeral system, the w -NAF condition (each block of w consecutive digits contains at most one nonzero) is shown to minimise the Hamming weight over all expansions with the same digit set if and only if it fulfills the subadditivity condition (the sum of every two expansions of weight 1 admits an optimal w -NAF). This result is then applied to imaginary quadratic bases, which are used for scalar...

On some identities involving spherical means

Gianfranco Cimmino (1989)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti

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.

Representations of a class of positively based algebras

Shiyu Lin, Shilin Yang (2023)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

We investigate the representation theory of the positively based algebra A m , d , which is a generalization of the noncommutative Green algebra of weak Hopf algebra corresponding to the generalized Taft algebra. It turns out that A m , d is of finite representative type if d 4 , of tame type if d = 5 , and of wild type if d 6 . In the case when d 4 , all indecomposable representations of A m , d are constructed. Furthermore, their right cell representations as well as left cell representations of A m , d are described. ...
