Polynomial representing all nonnegative integers
The search turned up a 1981 paper by John S.Lew (in the Unsolved problems section)
Polynomials in Two Variables Taking Distinct Integer Values at Lattice-Points
which discusses related problems, and …

Why no abelian varieties over Z?
Motivation
I learned about this question from a wonderful article Rational points on curves by Henri Darmon. He gives a list of statements (some are theorems, some conjectures) of the form
the set $\ …

Hasse principle for a group
$\DeclareMathOperator\PSL{PSL}$In the paper Ono - "Hasse principle" for $\PSL_2 (\mathbb Z)$ and $\PSL_2(\mathbb F)$ there's a definition of a Hasse principle for a group $G$, but I don't completely g …

Order of the Tate-Shafarevich group
I thought that the order of the Tate-Shafarevich group should always be a square (it's also supposed to be finite, but for the purposes of this question let's assume we know this) but I don't seem to …

Bertrand's postulate [closed]
I believe there was an old conjecture that there's always a prime number between N and 2N.
What's the history and how is this proven is the easiest/elementary/deepest ways?

Statements in group theory which imply deep results in number theory
I'm sure you omitted this just because it's too classic: big part of group theory was invented to prove that most algebraic numbers cannot be constructed by radical extensions.
It's still the best, …

Non-simply-connected smooth proper scheme over Z?
Source
This question came up in the discussion between Kevin Buzzard and Minhyong Kim in the comments to Smooth proper scheme over Z. It was 2 weeks ago, so I took the liberty of posting it as commun …

Where stands functoriality in 2009?
Robert Langlands is famous in number theory for making famous and deep conjectures about very abstract things called automorphic forms, somewhere in the 60s.
There's a very interesting article by Lan …

Polynomial representing prime numbers
Along the lines of Polynomial representing all nonnegative integers, but likely well-known question:
is there a polynomial $f \in \mathbb Q[x_1, \dots, x_n]$ such that $f(\mathbb Z\times\mathbb Z\ …

What is the base change in number theory?
I'm somewhat familiar with base change in scheme theory: sometimes a property of a morphism X \to Y survives a base change f:Z\to Y, meaning that X \times_{Y} Z \to Z also has this property.

What does "supersingular" mean?
Are supersingular primes and supersingular elliptic curves related?
(this was essentially a subquestion in my earlier question, but still looks sufficiently different to me to deserve a separate post …

Why no abelian varieties over Z?
Comments by Anweshi
The essential point is what Emerton mentioned, ie the analogy with Minkowski's theorem on number fields with ramification. The basic principle is that "arithmetic is geometry". Nu …

Nonnegative polynomial in two variables
What can be said about the polynomials $f\in\mathbb Q[x, y]$ which are nonnegative on $\mathbb R\times \mathbb R$?
Motivation: this may lead to progress in the question about polynomial onto map …

b^(n-1)=-1 mod n
That would be equivalent to $2(n-1) = k\varphi(n)$ and $n-1\ne k'\varphi(n)$ by Fermat's little theorem for composite numbers.
The second condition is equivalent to being able to satisfy first with …
