The Primitive-Solutions of Diophantine Equation x^2+pqy^2=z^2, for primes p,q

In this paper, we determine the primitive solutions of diophantine equations x^2+pqy^2=z^2, for positive integers x, y, z, and primes p,q. This work is based on the development of the previous results, namely using the solutions of the Diophantine equation x^2+y^2=z^2, and looking at characteristics of the solutions of the Diophantine equation x^2+3y^2=z^2 and x^2+9y^2=z^2.

Solving Diophantine Equations by Factoring in Number Fields

In this text we provide an introduction to algebraic number theory and show its applications in solving certain difficult diophantine equations. We begin with a quick summary of the theory of quadratic residues, before diving into a select few areas of algebraic number theory. Our article is accompanied by a couple of worked problems and exercises for the reader to tackle on their own.

Fermat's Last Theorem: A Proof by Contradiction

In this paper I offer an algebraic proof by contradiction of Fermat’s Last Theorem. Using an alternative to the standard binomial expansion, (a+b) n = a n + b Pn i=1 a n−i (a + b) i−1 , a and b nonzero integers, n a positive integer, I show that a simple rewrite of the Fermat’s equation stating the theorem, A p + B p = (A + B − D) p , A, B, D and p positive integers, D < A < B, p ≥ 3 and prime, entails the contradiction, A(B − D) X p−1 i=2 (−D) p−1−i "X i−1 j=1 A i−1−j (A + B − D) j−1 # + B(A − D) X p−1 i=2 (−D) p−1−i "X i−1 j=1 B i−1−j (A + B − D) j−1 # = 0, the sum of two positive integers equal to zero. This contradiction shows that the rewrite has no non-trivial positive integer solutions and proves Fermat’s Last Theorem.

Linking topological features of the Hofstadter model to optical diffraction figures

In two, three and even four spatial dimensions, the transverse responses experienced by a charged particle on a lattice in a uniform magnetic field are fully controlled by topological invariants called Chern numbers, which characterize the energy bands of the underlying Hofstadter Hamiltonian. These remarkable features, solely arising from the magnetic translational symmetry, are captured by Diophantine equations which relate the fraction of occupied states, the magnetic flux and the Chern numbers of the system bands. Here we investigate the close analogy between the topological properties of Hofstadter Hamiltonians and the diffraction figures resulting from optical gratings. In particular, we show that there is a one-to-one relation between the above mentioned Diophantine equation and the Bragg condition determining the far-field positions of the optical diffraction peaks. As an interesting consequence of this mapping, we discuss how the robustness of diffraction figures to structural disorder in the grating is a direct analogy of the robustness of transverse conductance in the Quantum Hall effect.

An elementary unified approach to prove some identities involving Fibonacci and Lucas numbers

Using the explicit formulas of the generating polynomials of Fibonacci and Lucas, we prove some new identities involving Fibonacci and Lucas numbers. As an application of these identities, we show how some Diophantine equations have infinitely many solutions. To illustrate the powerful of this elementary method, we give proofs of many known formulas.
