This paper focuses on greedy expansions, one possible representation of numbers, and on arithmetical operations with them. Performing addition or multiplication some additional digits can appear. We study bounds on the number of such digits assuming the finiteness of the expansion of the considered sum or product, especially for the case of cubic Pisot units.
Euler showed that there can be no more than three integer squares in arithmetic progression. In quadratic number fields, Xarles has shown that there can be arithmetic progressions of five squares, but not of six. Here, we prove that there are no cubic number fields which contain five squares in arithmetic progression.
A cubic (resp. biquadratic) theta series is a power series whose n-th coefficient is equal to 1 if n is a perfect cube (resp. fourth power) and zero otherwise. We improve on a result of Bradshaw by showing that such series is not a cubic (resp. biquadratic) algebraic number when evaluated at reciprocals of integers. The proof relies on a "nested gaps technique" for linear independence and on recent results by the author on Waring's problem for cubes and biquadrates.
Let $b(n)$ denote the number of cubic partition pairs of $n$. We give affirmative answer to a conjecture of Lin, namely, we prove that $$b(49n+37)\equiv 0 \pmod{49}.$$ We also prove two congruences modulo $256$ satisfied by $\overline{b}(n)$, the number of overcubic partition pairs of $n$. Let $\overline{a}(n)$ denote the number of overcubic partition of $n$. For a fixed positive integer $k$, we further show that $\overline{b}(n)$ and $\overline{a}(n)$ are divisible by $2^k$ for almost all $n$. We use arithmetic properties of modular forms to prove our results.
Let $b(n)$ denote the number of cubic partition pairs of $n$. In this paper, we aim to provide a strategy to obtain arithmetic properties of $b(n)$. This gives affirmative answers to two of Lin's conjectures.
One of the main themes in this thesis is the description of the signature of both the infinite place and the finite places in cubic function fields of any characteristic and quartic function fields of characteristic at least 5. For these purposes, we provide a new theory which can be applied to cubic and quartic function fields and to even higher dimensional function fields. One of the striking advantages of this theory to other existing methods is that is does not use the concept of p-adic completions and we can dispense of Cardano's formulae. Another key result comprises the construction of …
In this paper we compute the distributions of various markings on smooth cubic surfaces defined over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, for example the distribution of pairs of points, `tritangents' or `double sixes'. We also compute the (rational) cohomology of certain associated bundles and covers over complex numbers.
We show that binary forms of degree n less than seven parameterize rings, generalizing a result of Levi on binary cubic forms parameterizing cubic rings, which can be related to results of Bhargava. The question of whether or not a binary form of degree n parameterizes a ring of rank $n$ depends on a symbolic calculation with matrices.
In the present paper, we will show that three apparently disjoint objects: Galois representations arising from twenty-seven lines on a cubic surface (number theory and arithmetic algebraic geometry), Picard modular forms (automorphic forms), rigid Calabi-Yau threefolds and their arithmetic (Diophantine geometry) are intimately related to Hessian polyhedra and their invariants. We construct a Galois representation whose image is a proper subgroup of $W(E_6)$, the Weyl group of the exceptional Lie algebra $E_6$. We give a conjecture about the identification of two different kinds of $L$-function…
We study dynamical systems induced by birational automorphisms on smooth cubic surfaces defined over a number field $K$. In particular we are interested in the product of non-commuting birational Geiser involutions of the cubic surface. We present results describing the sets of $K$ and $\bar{K}$-periodic points of the system, and give a necessary and sufficient condition for a dynamical local-global property called strong residual periodicity. Finally, we give a dynamical result relating to the Mordell--Weil problem on cubic surfaces.
Let $K$ be a number field, which is tame and non totally real. In this article we give a numerical criterion, depending only on the ramification behavior of ramified primes in $K$, to decide whether or not the integral trace of $K$ is isometric to the integral trace of another number field $L$. As a byproduct of our proofs here, and in contrast with our previous results for cubic fields of positive discriminant, we show that for cubic fields of negative discriminant isometry between integral traces is equivalent to equality of discriminants.
It is shown that $c=-29/16$ is the unique rational number of smallest denominator, and the unique rational number of smallest numerator, for which the map $f_c(x) = x^2+c$ has a rational periodic point of period $3$. Several arithmetic conditions on the set of all such rational numbers $c$ and the rational orbits of $f_c(x)$ are proved. A graph on the numerators of the rational $3$-periodic points of maps $f_c$ is considered which reflects connections between solutions of norm equations from the cubic field of discriminant $-23$.
Following a strategy suggested by Michel--Venkatesh, we study the cubic moment of automorphic $L$-functions on $\operatorname{PGL}_2$ using regularized diagonal periods of products of Eisenstein series. Our main innovation is to produce vectors whose integral transforms achieve arbitrarily weighted moments. Applications include general Motohashi-type identities and Weyl-type subconvex bounds for some families of $L$-functions, extending some results of Conrey--Iwaniec and Petrow--Young to the number field setting. We deduce improved estimates for representation numbers of ternary quadratic for…
The number of non-isomorphic cubic fields L sharing a common discriminant d(L) = d is called the multiplicity m = m(d) of d. For an assigned value of d, these fields are collected in a multiplet M(d) = (L(1) ,..., L(m)). In this paper, the information in all existing tables of totally real cubic number fields L with positive discriminants d(L) < 10000000 is extended by computing the differential principal factorization types tau(L) in (alpha1, alpha2, alpha3, beta1, beta2, gamma, delta1, delta2, epsilon) of the members L of each multiplet M(d) of non-cyclic fields, a new kind of arithmetical i…
For an infinite family of monogenic trinomials $P(X) = X^3\pm 3rbX-b$ in $\mathbb{Z}\lbrack X\rbrack$, arithmetical invariants of the cubic number field $L = \mathbb{Q}(θ)$, generated by a zero $θ$ of $P(X)$, and of its Galois closure $N = L(\sqrt{d(L)})$ are determined. The conductor $f$ of the cyclic cubic relative extension $N/K$, where $K = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d(L)})$ denotes the unique quadratic subfield of $N$, is proved to be of the form $3^eb$ with $e\in\lbrace 1,2\rbrace$, which admits statements concerning primitive ambiguous principal ideals, lattice minima, and independent units in $L…
In this paper we compare several properties and constructions of the Carlitz polynomials and digit derivatives for continuous functions on $\F_q[[T]].$ In particular, we show a close relation between them as orthonormal bases. Moreover, parallel to Carlitz's coefficient formula, we give the closed formula for the expansion coefficients in terms of the digit derivatives.

We are interested in extending normal bases of $\mathbf{F}_{\!2^n}/\mathbf{F}_{\!2}$ to bases of $\mathbf{F}_{\!2^{nd}}/\mathbf{F}_{\!2}$ which allow fast arithmetic in $\mathbf{F}_{\!2^{nd}}$. This question has been recently studied by Thomson and Weir in case $d$ is equal to $2$. We construct efficient extended bases in case $d$ is equal to $3$ and $4$. We also give conditions under which Thomson-Weir construction can be combined with ours.
What is the distance between 11 (a prime number) and 12 (a highly composite number)? If your answer is 1, then ask yourself "is this reasonable?" In this work, we will introduce a distance between natural numbers based on their arithmetic properties, instead of their position on the real line.
