Random Diophantine equations in the primes
Mathematika, Volume 72, Issue 3, July 2026.Abstract We consider equations of the form a1x1k+⋯+asxsk=0$a_{1}x_{1}^{k}+\cdots +a_{s}x_{s}^{k}=0$ where the variables xi$x_{i}$ are all taken to be primes. We define an analogue of the Hasse principle for solubility in the primes (which we call the prime Hasse principle), and prove that, whenever k⩾2$k\geqslant 2$, s⩾3k+2$s\geqslant 3k+2$, this holds

Kripke on Gödel Incompleteness
Theoria, Volume 92, Issue 3, June 2026.ABSTRACT This paper surveys six of Saul Kripke's highly creative ideas and results on Gödel incompleteness, from when he was an undergraduate to last publications. These include his extension of incompleteness from sentences to predicates, his model‐theoretic proof of incompleteness of arithmetic, his compelling analysis of incompleteness in terms of ...

Double‐jump phase transition for the reverse Littlewood–Offord problem
Journal of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 113, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Erdős conjectured in 1945 that for any unit vectors v1,…,vn$v_1, \ldots, v_n$ in R2$\mathbb {R}^2$ and signs ε1,…,εn$\varepsilon _1, \ldots, \varepsilon _n$ taken independently and uniformly in {−1,1}$\lbrace -1,1\rbrace$, the random Rademacher sum σ=ε1v1+⋯+εnvn$\sigma = \varepsilon _1 v_1 + \cdots + \varepsilon _n v_n$ satisfies ∥σ∥2⩽1$\Vert \

Journal of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 113, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract We survey ideas surrounding the study of the number of integers that can be represented as the sum of three positive cubes. We focus on the early contribution of Davenport using elementary techniques, and the subsequent developments due to Vaughan, which introduced Fourier analysis and mirrored many of the important developments of the Hardy ...

Random Diophantine equations in the primes II
Journal of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 113, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Let d⩾2$d\geqslant 2$ and n⩾d$n\geqslant d$ with (d,n)∉{(2,2),(3,3)}$(d,n)\notin \lbrace (2,2),(3,3)\rbrace$. We consider homogeneous Diophantine equations of degree d$d$ in n+1$n+1$ variables and whether they have solutions in the primes.

Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 74, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT In this paper, we continue the development of the Cartan neural networks programme, launched with three previous publications, by focusing on some mathematical foundational aspects that we deem necessary for our next steps forward. The mathematical and conceptual results are diverse and span various mathematical fields, but the inspiring ...

Solving the n $n$‐Player Tullock Contest
Journal of Public Economic Theory, Volume 28, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT The n $n$‐player Tullock contest with complete information is known to admit explicit solutions in special cases, such as (i) homogeneous valuations, (ii) constant returns, and (iii) two contestants. But can the model be solved more generally?

Some bounds related to the 2‐adic Littlewood conjecture
Mathematika, Volume 72, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract For every irrational real α$\alpha$, let M(α)=supn⩾1an(α)$M(\alpha) = \sup _{n\geqslant 1} a_n(\alpha)$ denote the largest partial quotient in its continued fraction expansion (or ∞$\infty$, if unbounded). The 2‐adic Littlewood conjecture (2LC) can be stated as follows: There exists no irrational α$\alpha$ such that M(2kα)$M(2^k \alpha)$ is ...

Mathematika, Volume 72, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract In 2019 Kleinbock and Wadleigh proved a “zero‐one law” for uniform inhomogeneous Diophantine approximations. We generalize this statement to arbitrary weight functions and establish a new and simple proof of this statement, based on the transference principle. We also give a complete description of the sets of g$g$‐Dirichlet pairs with a fixed

Distribution of integer points on determinant surfaces and a mod‐p analogue
Mathematika, Volume 72, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract We establish an asymptotic formula for counting integer solutions with smooth weights to an equation of the form xy−zw=r$xy-zw=r$, where r$r$ is a non‐zero integer, with an explicit main term and a strong bound on the error term in terms of the size of the variables x,y,z,w$x, y, z, w$ as well as of r$r$.
