Consecutive square-free values of the type x 2 + y 2 + z 2 + k , x 2 + y 2 + z 2 + k + 1

Ya-Fang Feng (2023)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We show that for any given integer k there exist infinitely many consecutive square-free numbers of the type x 2 + y 2 + z 2 + k , x 2 + y 2 + z 2 + k + 1 . We also establish an asymptotic formula for 1 x , y , z H such that x 2 + y 2 + z 2 + k , x 2 + y 2 + z 2 + k + 1 are square-free. The method we used in this paper is due to Tolev.

Crible asymptotique et sommes de Kloosterman

Jimena Sivak-Fischler (2009)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

On montre à l’aide de méthodes de crible, de méthodes issues de la théorie des formes automorphes et de géométrie algébrique ainsi qu’à l’aide de la loi de Sato-Tate verticale que le signe des sommes de Kloosterman Kl ( 1 , 1 ; n ) change une infinité de fois pour n parcourant les entiers sans facteur carré ayant au plus 18 facteurs premiers. Ceci améliore un résultat précédent de Fouvry et Michel qui avaient obtenu 23 à la place de 18 .

Distributional properties of powers of matrices

Fernando Chamizo, Dulcinea Raboso (2014)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We apply the larger sieve to bound the number of 2 × 2 matrices not having large order when reduced modulo the primes in an interval. Our motivation is the relation with linear recursive congruential generators. Basically our results establish that the probability of finding a matrix with large order modulo many primes drops drastically when a certain threshold involving the number of primes and the order is exceeded. We also study, for a given prime and a matrix, the existence of nearby non-similar...

Finite projective planes, Fermat curves, and Gaussian periods

Koen Thas, Don Zagier (2008)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

One of the oldest and most fundamental problems in the theory of finite projective planes is to classify those having a group which acts transitively on the incident point-line pairs (flags). The conjecture is that the only ones are the Desarguesian projective planes (over a finite field). In this paper, we show that non-Desarguesian finite flag-transitive projective planes exist if and only if certain Fermat surfaces have no nontrivial rational points, and formulate several other equivalences involving...
