Differences of Harmonic Numbers and the $abc$-Conjecture [PDF]
Our main source of inspiration was a talk by Hendrik Lenstra on harmonic numbers, which are numbers whose only prime factors are two or three. Gersonides proved 675 years ago that one can be written as a difference of harmonic numbers in only four ways ...

Integer Factorization – Cryptology Meets Number Theory
Integer factorization is one of the oldest mathematical problems. Initially, the interest in factorization was motivated by curiosity about behaviour of prime numbers, which are the basic building blocks of all other integers.

Linear complexity problems of level sequences of Euler quotients and their related binary sequences
The Euler quotient modulo an odd-prime power $p^r~(r>1)$ can be uniquely decomposed as a $p$-adic number of the form $$ \frac{u^{(p-1)p^{r-1}} -1}{p^r}\equiv a_0(u)+a_1(u)p+\ldots+a_{r-1}(u)p^{r-1} \pmod {p^r},~ \gcd(u,p)=1, $$ where $0\le a_j(u)1$.

The Role of Dice in the Emergence of the Probability Calculus
Summary The early development of the probability calculus was clearly influenced by the roll of dice. However, while dice have been cast since time immemorial, documented calculations on the frequency of various dice throws date back only to the mid‐13th century.

We introduce the ring of Fermat reals, an extension of the real field containing nilpotent infinitesimals. The construction takes inspiration from Smooth Infinitesimal Analysis (SIA), but provides a powerful theory of actual infinitesimals without any ...

Rational points on even‐dimensional Fermat cubics
Abstract We show that even‐dimensional Fermat cubic hypersurfaces are rational over any field of characteristic not equal to three, by constructing explicit rational parameterizations with polynomials of low degree. As a byproduct of our rationality constructions, we obtain estimates for the number of their rational points over a number field and ...
