On the class number of binary quadratic forms: An omega estimate for the error term.
For a finite abelian group G and a splitting field K of G, let (G,K) denote the largest integer l ∈ ℕ for which there is a sequence over G such that for all . If (G) denotes the Davenport constant of G, then there is the straightforward inequality (G) - 1 ≤ (G,K). Equality holds for a variety of groups, and a conjecture of W. Gao et al. states that equality holds for all groups. We offer further groups for which equality holds, but we also give the first examples of groups G for which (G) -...
In finite Galois extensions of with pairwise coprime discriminants the integral and the prime divisors subject to the condition are equidistributed in the sense of E. Hecke.
Consider the region obtained by removing from the discs of radius , centered at the points of integer coordinates with . We are interested in the distribution of the free path length (exit time) of a point particle, moving from along a linear trajectory of direction , as . For every integer number , we prove the weak convergence of the probability measures associated with the random variables , explicitly computing the limiting distribution. For , respectively , this result leads...
We consider an approximation to the popular conjecture about representations of integers as sums of four squares of prime numbers.
