Lifting bases for (Z/pZ)^n to Z^n

Here's a unified argument based on my comments to Scott's post that doesn't use quadratic reciprocity in any form. Suppose n=2 and p >= 5, and lift each line of slope i in Y(2,p) to a point (ai+pbi, …

Singmaster's conjecture

There is an upper bound of $O\left(\frac{(\log n)(\log \log \log n)}{(\log \log n)^3}\right)$ due to Daniel Kane: see "Improved bounds on the number of ways of expressing t as a binomial coefficient, …

Counting solutions to x^{p+1}=y^4 in a finite field

Let g be a generator of the multiplicative group of the field; assuming x and y are nonzero, we can write x=ga and y=gb with 0 <= a,b < p2-1, and then xp+1=y4 becomes ga(p+1)=g4b, or equivalently a(p+ …
