The average number of representations of an integer as a sum of three or more primes, over multiples of a fixed integer

Abstract

We extend a result by Ikeda and Suriajaya (2025) to the average number of representations of an integer as a sum of an arbitrary number $j\ge 3$ of primes. We show that the corresponding asymptotic formula holds in the general case. In the proof we use new ingredients like averages for the singular series of the generalized Goldbach problem.

The integer group determinants for GA(1,p) and related semidirect products

We consider the integer group determinants for groups that are semidirect products of $\mathbb Z_p$ and $\mathbb Z_n$ with $p$ prime and $n\mid p-1$. We give a complete description of the integer group determinants for the general affine groups of degree one GA(1,$p$) when $p=5,7,11$ and $23$, and for $\mathbb Z_7\rtimes \mathbb Z_3,$ $\mathbb Z_{11}\rtimes \mathbb Z_5$ and $\mathbb Z_{13}\rtimes \mathbb Z_6,$ showing that the obvious divisibility and congruence conditions arising from the form of the group determinant when $n=p-1$ or $\frac{1}{2}(p-1)$, can be sufficient as well as necessary for these types of groups (although in the latter case we must work with norms of integers in a quadratic field). For $p=13$ this also happens for the remaining groups of this type, $\mathbb Z_{13}\rtimes_5 \mathbb Z_4$ and $\mathbb Z_{13}\rtimes \mathbb Z_3$, (working in an appropriate cubic and quartic field).

The density of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}_p$ with a rational 3-torsion point or a rational 3-isogeny

We determine the probability that a random Weierstrass equation with coefficients in the $p$-adic integers defines an elliptic curve with a non-trivial $3$-torsion point, or with a degree $3$ isogeny, defined over the field of $p$-adic numbers. We determine these densities by calculating the corresponding $p$-adic volume integrals and analyzing certain modular curves. Additionally, we explore the case of $\ell$-torsion for $\ell>3$ prime.
