On Silverman's conjecture for a family of elliptic curves
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $Bbb{Q}$ with the given Weierstrass equation $ y^2=x^3+ax+b$. If $D$ is a squarefree integer, then let $E^{(D)}$ denote the $D$-quadratic twist of $E$ that is given by $E^{(D)}: y^2=x^3+aD^2x+bD^3$. Let $E^{(D)}(Bbb{Q})$ be the group of $Bbb{Q}$-rational points of $E^{(D)}$. It is conjectured by J. Silverman that there are infinitely many primes $p$ for which $...
متن کاملUniversal Mixed Sums of Squares and Triangular Numbers
In 1997 Ken Ono and K. Soundararajan [Invent. Math. 130(1997)] proved that under the generalized Riemann hypothesis any positive odd integer greater than 2719 can be represented by the famous Ramanujan form x 2 + y 2 + 10z 2 , equivalently the form 2x 2 + 5y 2 + 4T z represents all integers greater than 1359, where T z denotes the triangular number z(z + 1)/2. Given positive integers a, b, c we...
متن کاملBounds for Certain Exponential Sums
where p is a prime power , χ mod p is a Dirichlet character, a, b, n are integers with n ≥ 2. The first sum was studied in connection with Waring’s problem and we have a classical result due to professor Hua [10]. The second sum has not been studied before as far as the authors know. We hope it can be used in the work of generalizing Waring’s problem. In [6], Davenport and Heilbronn showed that...
متن کاملThe representation of integers by binary additive forms
Let a, b and n be integers with n > 3. We show that, in the sense of natural density, almost all integers represented by the binary form ax by are thus represented essentially uniquely. By exploiting this conclusion, we derive an asymptotic formula for the total number of integers represented by such a form. These conclusions augment earlier work of Hooley concerning binary cubic and quartic fo...
متن کاملDefining Sums of Products of Power Sums
We study the sums of products of power sums of positive integers and their generalizations, using the multiple products of their exponential generating functions. The generalizations include a closed form expression for the sums of products of infinite series of the form ∑∞ n=0 α n, 0 < |α| < 1, k ∈ N0 and the related Abel sum, which define, in a unified way, the sums of products of the power s...
متن کاملOn the Diophantine Equation x^6+ky^3=z^6+kw^3
Given the positive integers m,n, solving the well known symmetric Diophantine equation xm+kyn=zm+kwn, where k is a rational number, is a challenge. By computer calculations, we show that for all integers k from 1 to 500, the Diophantine equation x6+ky3=z6+kw3 has infinitely many nontrivial (y≠w) rational solutions. Clearly, the same result holds for positive integers k whose cube-free part is n...
