Given $k\geqslant 2$, we show that there are at most finitely many rational numbers $x$ and $y\neq 0$ and integers $\ell \geqslant 2$ (with $(k,\ell )\neq (2,2)$) for which $$\begin{eqnarray}x(x+1)\cdots (x+k-1)=y^{\ell }.\end{eqnarray}$$ In particular, if we assume that $\ell$ is prime, then all such triples $(x,y,\ell )$ satisfy either $y=0$ or $\ell <\exp (3^{k})$.

In this paper we generalize a result of Mahler on rational approximations of the exponential function at rational points by proving the following theorem: let n ε N* and αl, …, αn be distinct non-zero rational numbers; there exists a constant c = c(n, αl, …, αn) ≥ 0 such thatfor every non-zero integer point (qo, ql, …, qn)and q = max {|ql|, … |qn|, 3}.

It is well known that no rational number is approximable to order higher than 1. Roth [3] showed that an algebraic number is not approximable to order greater than 2. On the other hand it is easy to construct numbers, the Liouville numbers, which are approximable to any order (see [2], p. 162). We are led to the question, “Let Nn(α, β) denote the number of distinct rational points with denominators ≦ n contained in an interval (α, β). What is the behaviour of Nn(α, + 1/n) as α varies on the real line?” We shall prove that and that there are “compressions” and “rarefactions” of rational points on the real line.

The Bernoulli polynomials of order k, where k is a positive integer, are defined byBm(k)(x) is a polynomial of degree m with rational coefficients, and the constant term of Bm(k)(x) is the mth Bernoulli number of order k, Bm(k). In a previous paper (3) we obtained some conditions, in terms of k and m, which imply that Bm(k)(x) is irreducible (all references to irreducibility will be with respect to the field of rational numbers). In particular, we obtained the following two results.

Let G be the group of R-rational points on a reductive group defined over Q and T an arithmetic subgroup. The aim of this paper is to describe in some detail the Schwartz space (whose definition I recall in Section 1) and in particular to explain a decomposition of this space into constituents parametrized by the T-associate classes of rational parabolic subgroups of G. This is analogous to the more elementary of the two well known decompositions of L2 (T\G) in [20](or [17]), and a proof of something equivalent was first sketched by Langlands himself in correspondence with A. Borel in 1972. (Borel has given an account of this in [8].)Langlands’ letter was in response to a question posed by Borel concerning a decomposition of the cohomology of arithmetic groups, and the decomposition I obtain here was motivated by a similar question, which is dealt with at the end of the paper.

Let 𝕀 denote an imaginary quadratic field or the field ℚ of rational numbers and let ℤ𝕀denote its ring of integers. We shall prove a new explicit Baker-type lower bound for a ℤ𝕀-linear form in the numbers 1, eα1, . . . , eαm,m⩾ 2, whereα0= 0,α1, . . . ,αmarem+ 1 different numbers from the field 𝕀. Our work gives substantial improvements on the existing explicit versions of Baker’s work about exponential values at rational points. In particular, dependencies onmare improved.

Let ℤ, ℕ, ℚ denote the sets of integers, positive integers and rational numbers, respectively. Solutions (x, y, m, n) of the equation (1) have been investigated in many papers:Let ω(m), ρ(m) denote the number of distinct prime factors and the greatest square free factor of m, respectively. In this note we prove the following results.

Then Littlewood (5) has shown thatcan be expressed in the formwhere Qλ(x, t) and Qλ(y, t) denote certain symmetric functions on the sets {x} and {y} respectively. In additionwhere is the partition of n conjugate to (λ). In fact, Littlewood (5) showed thatwhere the summation is over all terms obtained by permutations of the variables xi (i = 1, 2, …) and.
