A non-standard metric in the group of reals
The aim of this note is to offer a summary of the definitions and properties of arithmetic symbols on the linear group Gl(n, F) -F being an arbitrary discrete valuation field- and to show that the natural generalizations of the Parshin symbol on an algebraic surface S to the linear group Gl(n, ΣS) do not allow us to define new 2-dimensional symbols on S.[Proceedings of the Primeras Jornadas de Teoría de Números (Vilanova i la Geltrú (Barcelona), 30 June - 2 July 2005)].
A specially multiplicative arithmetic function is the Dirichlet convolution of two completely multiplicative arithmetic functions. The aim of this paper is to prove explicitly that two mathematical objects, namely -Fibonacci sequences and specially multiplicative prime-independent arithmetic functions, are equivalent in the sense that each can be reconstructed from the other. Replacing one with another, the exploration space of both mathematical objects expands significantly.
Let a, b, c be relatively prime positive integers such that . Jeśmanowicz conjectured in 1956 that for any given positive integer n the only solution of in positive integers is x=y=z=2. If n=1, then, equivalently, the equation , for integers u>v>0, has only the solution x=y=z=2. We prove that this is the case when one of u, v has no prime factor of the form 4l+1 and certain congruence and inequality conditions on u, v are satisfied.
