AbstractWe study the density of rational points on a higher-dimensional orbifold $$(\mathbb {P}^{n-1},\Delta )$$ ( P n - 1 , Δ ) when $$\Delta $$ Δ is a $$\mathbb {Q}$$ Q -divisor involving hyperplanes. This allows us to address a question of Tanimoto about whether the set of rational points on such an orbifold constitutes a thin set. Our approach relies on the Hardy–Littlewood circle method to first study an asymptotic version of Waring’s problem for mixed powers. In doing so we make crucial use of the recent resolution of the main conjecture in Vinogradov’s mean value theorem, due to Bourgain–Demeter–Guth and Wooley.

AbstractWe compute the equation of the 7-secant variety to the Veronese variety (P4,O(3)), its degree is 15. This is the last missing invariant in the Alexander-Hirschowitz classification. It gives the condition to express a homogeneous cubic polynomial in 5 variables as the sum of 7 cubes (Waring problem). The interesting side in the construction is that it comes from the determinant of a matrix of order 45 with linear entries, which is a cube. The same technique allows to express the classical Aronhold invariant of plane cubics as a pfaffian.

The famous theorem of Schnirelmann states that a constant c exists such that every integer greater than one may be expressed as the sum of at most c primes. Recently, Heilbronn, Landau and Scherk proved that this holds with c = 71. Probably the true value of c is 3. Another well-known theorem (Hilbert's solution of Waring's problem) is that every integer is the sum of a bounded number of positive kth powers. If we omit the restriction that all the kth powers are positive, the problem is referred to as the easier Waring problem and the proof of the result is then much simpler.

Let G be a connected linear algebraic group and X an algebraic variety, both defined over Q, the field of rational numbers. Suppose that G acts on X transitively and the action is defined over Q. Suppose that the set of rational points X(Q) is non-empty. Choosing x ∈ X(Q) allows us to identify G/Gx and X as varieties over Q, there Gx is the stabilizer of x.


We show how the methods of Vaughan & Wooley, which have proved fruitful in dealing with Waring’s problem, may also be used to investigate the fractional parts of an additive form. Results are obtained which are near to best possible for forms with algebraic coefficients. New results are also obtained in the general case. Extensions are given to make several additive forms simultaneously small. The key ingredients in this work are: mean value theorems for exponential sums, the use of a small common factor for the integer variables, and the large sieve inequality.

Continuous chaos may collapse in the digital world. This study proposes a method of error compensation for a two-dimensional digital system based on the generalized mean value theorem of differentiation that can restore the fundamental performance of chaotic systems. Different from other methods, the compensation sequence of our method comes from the chaotic system itself and can be applied to higher-dimensional digital chaotic systems. The experimental results show that the improved system is highly consistent with the real chaotic system, and it has excellent chaotic characteristics such as high complexity, randomness, and ergodicity.
