Abstract

Fix $\varepsilon>0$, let $x>1$ be a large real number and let $\text{rad}(n)=\prod_{p\mid n}p$ be the radical of an integer $n\geq1$. A triple $(a,b,c)$, with $a+b=c$ and $\gcd(a,b,c)=1$, such that $c>(\text{rad}(abc))^{1+\varepsilon}$, is called exceptional triple. Recent works have proved that the cardinality $\#\mathscr{E}(x)$ of set $\mathscr{E}$ of exceptional triples satisfies $\#\mathscr{E}(x)=O(x^{33/50})$. This note proves that the cardinality of the exceptional set $\mathscr{E}(x)$ of triples $(a,b,c)$ is an infinite set unconditionally for any $\varepsilon<2/35$.

Disproof of a Conjectured Upper Bound for the Davenport Constant

Let $G= C_{n_1}\oplus\cdots\oplus C_{n_r}$ be a finite abelian group with $1<n_1\mid\cdots\mid n_r$, and let $\rr(G)=r$ denote its rank. The Davenport constant $\DD(G)$ is the least integer $\ell$ such that every sequence of $\ell$ elements of $G$ contains a nonempty zero-sum subsequence, and $\DD^*(G)=1+\sum_{i=1}^r(n...

Affine Copies of Three-Point Patterns in Sets of Integers

Let $P=\{0,a,b\}$, where $0<a<b$ and $\gcd(a,b)=1$. For a finite set $A\subset\mathbb Z$, let $M_P^+(A)$ count the copies $x,x+ad,x+bd\in A$ with $d>0$, and let $M_P(A)$ count the copies with any $d\ne0$. We prove that every such three-point pattern other than the arithmetic progression $\{0,1,2\}$ satisfies \[ M_P^+(A...

On a Tur\'an's theorem for arithmetic progressions

Let $m\geq 1$ be a fixed integer, $a$ an integer satisfying $(a,m)=1$, and $z\geq 1$ a real parameter. Denote by $\omega_{z}(n;m,a)$ the number of distinct prime divisors $p$ of $n$ satisfying $p\equiv a\, (m)$ and $p\leq z$. We study an asymptotic behaviour of $\sum_{n\leq x}\left(\omega_{z}(n;m,a)-\frac{1}{\varphi(m)...

Generalized Wieferich primes and monogenic polynomials

Let $b, p\in {\mathbb Z}$ with $b\ge 2$ and $p\ge 3$ a prime. If $b^{p-1}\equiv 1 \pmod{p^2}$, then $p$ is called a {\em generalized Wieferich prime base $b$}, or more succinctly, a {\em base-$b$ Wieferich prime}. When $b=2$, $p$ is also known simply as a Wieferich prime. We say that a monic polynomial $f(x)\in {\mathb...

Close Divisors of Typical Integers:The Ford--Green--Koukoulopoulos Conjecture

For an integer $k\geq2$, let $\alpha_k$ be the supremum of the real numbers $a$ for which almost every integer $n\geq2$ has divisors $d_1<\cdots<d_k\mid n$ satisfying $d_k\leq d_1\bigl(1+(\log n)^{-a}\bigr).$ Let $\mathcal A\subseteq\N$ be the logarithmic random set in which the events $m\in\mathcal A$ are mutually ind...

Fixed-Defect Inverse Theorems for Subset Sums

Let $A$ be an $n$-element set of positive real numbers, let $FS(A)$ be its set of subset sums, and put $T_n=\binom{n+1}{2}$. For every fixed integer $C\geq-1$ and all sufficiently large $n$, we classify the sets satisfying $$ |FS(A)|\leq T_n+n+C+1. $$ Each such set is commensurable. Its unique primitive integer normali...
