For any positive integer $k\ge 2$, let ${\left(P_n^{\left(k\right)}\right)}_{n\ge 2-k}$ be the $k$-generalized Pell sequence which starts with $0,\cdots ,0,1$ ($k$ terms) with the linear recurrence $$P_n^{\left(k\right)}=2P_{n-1}^{\left(k\right)}+P_{n-2}^{\left(k\right)}+\cdots +P_{n-k}^{\left(k\right)}\text{for}n\ge 2.$$ Let ${\left(N_n\right)}_{n\ge 0}$ be Narayana’s sequence given by $$N_0=N_1=N_2=1\text{and}{N}_{n+3}=N_{n+2}+N_n.$$ The purpose of this paper is to determine all $k$-Pell numbers which are sums of two Narayana’s numbers. More precisely, we study the Diophantine equation $$P_p^{\left(k\right)}=N_n+N_m$$ in nonnegative integers $k$, $p$, $n$ and $m$.

Let $K=\mathbb{Q}\left(\alpha \right)$ be a pure number field generated by a complex root $\alpha$ of a monic irreducible polynomial $F\left(x\right)=x^{2^r·3^k·7^s}-m\in \mathbb{Z}\left[x\right]$, where $r$, $k$, $s$ are three positive natural integers. The purpose of this paper is to study the monogenity of $K$. Our results are illustrated by some examples.

Let $K=\mathbb{Q}\left(\alpha \right)$ be a number field generated by a complex root $\alpha$ of a monic irreducible polynomial $f\left(x\right)=x^{18}-m$, $m\ne \mp 1$, is a square free rational integer. We prove that if $m\equiv 2$ or $3(\mathrm{mod}4)$ and $m\neg \equiv \mp 1(\mathrm{mod}9)$, then the number field $K$ is monogenic. If $m\equiv 1(\mathrm{mod}4)$ or $m\equiv 1(\mathrm{mod}9)$, then the number field $K$ is not monogenic.

Let $L=K\left(\alpha \right)$ be an extension of a number field $K$, where $\alpha$ satisfies the monic irreducible polynomial $P\left(X\right)=X^p-\beta$ of prime degree belonging to ${𝔬}_K\left[X\right]$ (${𝔬}_K$ is the ring of integers of $K$). The purpose of this paper is to study the monogenity of $L$ over $K$ by a simple and practical version of Dedekind’s criterion characterizing the existence of power integral bases over an arbitrary Dedekind ring by using the Gauss valuation and the index ideal. As an illustration, we determine an integral basis of a pure nonic field $L$ with a...

We compute the $K$-theory of $C^{*}$-algebras generated by the left regular representation of left Ore semigroups satisfying certain regularity conditions. Our result describes the $K$-theory of these semigroup $C^{*}$-algebras in terms of the $K$-theory for the reduced group $C^{*}$-algebras of certain groups which are typically easier to handle. Then we apply our result to specific semigroups from algebraic number theory.
