Abstract

We study the construction of optimal conflict-avoiding codes (CAC) from a number theoretical point of view. The determination of the size of optimal CAC of prime length $p$ and weight 3 is formulated in terms of the solvability of certain twisted Fermat equations of the form $g^2 X^{\ell} + g Y^{\ell} + 1 = 0$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{p}$ for some primitive root $g$ modulo $p.$ We treat the problem of solving the twisted Fermat equations in a more general situation by allowing the base field to be any finite extension field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of $\mathbb{F}_{p}.$ We show that for $q$ greater than a lower bound of the order of magnitude $O(\ell^2)$ there exists a generator $g$ of $\mathbb{F}_{q}^{\times}$ such that the equation in question is solvable over $\mathbb{F}_{q}.$ Using our results we are able to contribute new results to the construction of optimal CAC of prime lengths and weight $3.$

Asymptotic density of k-almost primes

Landau's well known asymptotic formula $$N_k(x):=\ \mid\{n\leq x : Ω(n)=k\}\mid \ \sim \left( \frac{x}{\log x} \right) \frac{(\log\log x)^{k-1}}{(k - 1)!}\ \ (x \rightarrow \infty),$$ which also holds for $$π_k(x):=\ \mid\{n\leq x : ω(n)=k\}\mid,$$ is known to be fairly poor for $k > 1$, and when $k$ is allowed to tend to infinity with $x$, the study of $N_k(x)$ and $π_k(x)$ becomes very technical [1, Chapter II.6, $§$ 6.1, p.200]. I hope to show that the method described below provides not only a more accurate approach, but rather increases in its asymptotic accuracy as $k$ tends to infinity.

Real quadratic base changes for $\mathrm{GL}_3$ and integral periods relations

We prove a $p$-adic divisibility between the automorphic periods of a cuspidal automorphic representation of $\mathrm{GL}_3(\mathbb{Q})$ and the periods of its Arthur-Clozel's base change to some real quadratic field $E$. This generalizes earlier works of Tilouine-Urban and of Hida in the case of classical modular forms. The divisibility we prove involves a new kind of automorphic periods, defined using the middle degree of the cuspidal cohomology of $\mathrm{GL}_3(E)$, instead of the top or bottom degrees. We also investigate the Rogawski's stable base change from the quasi-split unitary group $U_E$ associated with $E$ to $\mathrm{GL}_3(E)$. In this situation, we also obtain some results toward a $p$-adic divisibility of automorphic periods.
