Cubic forms, powers of primes and the Kraus method

Andrzej Dąbrowski, Tomasz Jędrzejak, Karolina Krawciów (2012)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We consider the Diophantine equation ( x + y ) ( x ² + B x y + y ² ) = D z p , where B, D are integers (B ≠ ±2, D ≠ 0) and p is a prime >5. We give Kraus type criteria of nonsolvability for this equation (explicitly, for many B and D) in terms of Galois representations and modular forms. We apply these criteria to numerous equations (with B = 0, 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, specific D’s, and p ∈ (10,10⁶)). In the last section we discuss reductions of the above Diophantine equations to those of signature (p,p,2).

Cubic moments of Fourier coefficients and pairs of diagonal quartic forms

Jörg Brüdern, Trevor D. Wooley (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We establish the non-singular Hasse principle for pairs of diagonal quartic equations in 22 or more variables. Our methods involve the estimation of a certain entangled two-dimensional 21st moment of quartic smooth Weyl sums via a novel cubic moment of Fourier coefficients.

Delay Model of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Dynamics: Asymptotic Stability and Stability Switch

F. Crauste (2009)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

A nonlinear system of two delay differential equations is proposed to model hematopoietic stem cell dynamics. Each equation describes the evolution of a sub-population, either proliferating or nonproliferating. The nonlinearity accounting for introduction of nonproliferating cells in the proliferating phase is assumed to depend upon the total number of cells. Existence and stability of steady states are investigated. A Lyapunov functional is built to obtain the global asymptotic stability of the...

Density of rational points on cyclic covers of n

Ritabrata Munshi (2009)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

We obtain upper bound for the density of rational points on the cyclic covers of n . As n our estimate tends to the conjectural bound of Serre.

Density of solutions to quadratic congruences

Neha Prabhu (2017)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

A classical result in number theory is Dirichlet’s theorem on the density of primes in an arithmetic progression. We prove a similar result for numbers with exactly k prime factors for k > 1 . Building upon a proof by E. M. Wright in 1954, we compute the natural density of such numbers where each prime satisfies a congruence condition. As an application, we obtain the density of squarefree n x with k prime factors such that a fixed quadratic equation has exactly 2 k solutions modulo n .
