Primitive divisors of sequences associated to elliptic curves

Abstract: Let $\{nP+Q\}_{n\geq0}$ be a sequence of points on an elliptic curve defined over a number field $K$. In this paper, we study the denominators of the $x$-coordinates of this sequence. We prove that, if $Q$ is a torsion point of prime order, then for $n$ large enough there always exists a primitive divisor. Later on, we show the link between the study of the primitive divisors and the Lang-Trotter conjecture.

A Weighted Divisor Problem

Abstract: We study a weighted divisor function $\mathop{{\sum}'}\limits_{mn\leq x}\cos(2\pi m\theta_1)\sin(2\pi n\theta_2)$, where $\theta_i (0<\theta_i<1)$ is a rational number. By connecting it with the divisor problem with congruence conditions, we establish the upper bound, mean-value, mean-square and some power-moments.

High dimensional reducible hyperplane sections with multigenera $\leq$ 1

Abstract: Let X be an algebraic submanifold of the complex projective space $\mathbb{P}^N$ of dimension $n \geq 5$. We describe those $X \subset \mathbb{P}^N$ whose intersection with some hyperplane is a smooth simply normal crossing divisor $A_{1} + \cdots + A_{r}$ with $r \geq 2$ such that $g(A_{k}, L_{A_k}) \leq 1$ for $k=1,\ldots, r$.

On the average orders of a class of divisor functions.

Abstract: We compute the average orders and study the distribution of values of a class of divisor functions defined by symmetric polynomials on the multi-set of prime factors of a number. These generalize those we have previously defined. The simplest case of these functions is the sum of prime factors with repetition function, whose average order has been computed in various ways by Alladi and Erd˝os, LeVan,and Kerawala.
