This book provides an overview of the main results and problems concerning Diophantine m-tuples, i.e., sets of integers or rationals with the property that the product of any two of them is one less than a square, and their connections with elliptic curves. It presents the contributions of famous mathematicians of the past, like Diophantus, Fermat and Euler, as well as some recent results of the author and his collaborators.

The book presents fragments of the history of Diophantine m-tuples, emphasising the connections between...

This book describes research problems by unifying and generalizing some remote-looking objects through the functional equation and the parity relation of relevant zeta functions, known as the modular relation or RHB correspondence. It provides examples of zeta functions introduced as absolutely convergent Dirichlet series, not necessarily with the Euler product. The book generalizes this to broader cases, explaining the special functions involved. The extension of the Chowla–Selberg integral formula and the Hardy transform are key, substituting the Bochner modular relation in the...

This contributed volume presents recent advances as well as new directions in number theory and its applications. Algebraic and analytic number theory are the main focus with chapters showing how these areas are rapidly evolving. By gathering authors from over seven countries, readers will gain an international perspective on the current state of research as well as potential avenues to explore. Specific topics covered include:

• Algebraic Number Theory
• Elliptic curves and Cryptography
• Hopf Galois theory
• Analytic and elementary number theory and...

This book proposes a novel approach to the study of Diophantine equations: define an appropriate version of the equation’s size, order all polynomial Diophantine equations by size, and then solve the equations in order.

Natural questions about the solution set of Diophantine equations are studied in this book using this approach. Is the set empty? Is it finite or infinite? Can all integer solutions be parametrized? By ordering equations by size, the book attempts to answer these questions in a systematic manner. When the size grows, the difficulty of finding solutions increases...
