Generators of the ideal class group

Let $G$ be the ideal class group, and let $H$ be the subgroup generated by the prime ideals of norm at most $3\log^2(d^2)=12\log^2(d)$. Assume that $H$ is a proper subgroup of $G$. Then there is a non …

Can every integer be written as a sum of squares of primes?

The answer is yes, and this follows from known results concerning the Waring-Goldbach problem.

Why is integer factoring hard while determining whether an integer is prime easy?

It is like cooking. A recipe can be easy to follow, but figuring it out from the resulting meal can be hard (cf. secret recipe).

Counting powerful integers. Lower bounds

Golomb (1970) proved that for all $x\geq 1$ we have $$\frac{\zeta(3/2)}{\zeta(3)}x^{1/2}-3x^{1/3}\ \leq\ \left|\mathrm{POW}(x)\right|\ \leq\ \frac{\zeta(3/2)}{\zeta(3)}x^{1/2}.$$ Note that $$\frac{\ze …

simple conjecture on palindromes in base 10

Using $$\frac{10^c-1}{9}=\sum_{m=0}^{c-1} 10^m,$$ the product in question equals $$\sum_{n=0}^{2a+2b+c-1}r(n)10^n,$$ where $r(n)$ is the number of times $n$ occurs among the numbers (counted with mult …

Is the nth-power-sum graph connected?

Yes, the graph $\mathcal{G}_n$ is connected, and its diameter is at most $n2^n$. To see this, write $s$ for $n2^{n-1}$, and fix any two vertices $a,b\in\mathbb{N}^*$. By Wright's solution of Waring's …

Numerically double-checking formula with L-values

This is a good question around an important issue. The first thing that came to my mind is Popa's article "Central values of Rankin $L$-series over real quadratic fields", which is about a related pro …

How to calculate [10^10^10^10^10^-10^10]?

I think the number in question is $10^{10^{10}}+10^{11}\ln^4(10)$ plus a tiny positive number. That is, it starts with a digit $1$, followed by $10^{10}-13$ zeros, then by the string $2811012357389$, …
