Elliptic Dedekind sums were introduced by R. Sczech as generalizations of classical Dedekind sums to complex lattices. We show that for any lattice with real $j$-invariant, the values of suitably normalized elliptic Dedekind sums are dense in the real numbers. This extends an earlier result of Ito for Euclidean imaginary quadratic rings. Our proof is an adaptation of the recent work of Kohnen, which gives a new proof of the density of values of classical Dedekind sums.

We show assuming RH that phenomena concerning pairs of zeros established $via$ pair correlations occur with positive density (with at most a slight adjustment of the constants). Also, while a double zero is commonly considered to be a close pair, we consider the difference between two $distinct$ zeros.

This paper addresses the factorization of polynomials of the form $F(x) = f_{0}(x) + f_{1}(x) x^{n} + cdots + f_{r-1}(x) x^{(r-1)n} + f_{r}(x) x^{rn}$ where $r$ is a fixed positive integer and the $f_{j}(x)$ are fixed polynomials in $mathbb Z[x]$ for $0 le j le r$. We provide an efficient method for showing that for $n$ sufficiently large and reasonable conditions on the $f_{j}(x)$, the non-reciprocal part of $F(x)$ is either $1$ or irreducible. We illustrate the approach including giving two examples that arise from trace fields of hyperbolic $3$-manifolds.

Let L be a primitive Gaussian line, that is, a line in the complex plane that contains two, and hence infinitely many, coprime Gaussian integers. We prove that there exists an integer G L such that for every integer n ≥ G L there are infinitely many sequences of n consecutive Gaussian integers on L with the property that none of the Gaussian integers in the sequence is coprime to all the others. We also investigate the smallest integer g L such that L contains a sequence of g L consecutive Gaussian integers with this property. We show that g L 6 = G L in general. Also, g L ≥ 7 for every Gaussian line L , and we give necessary and sufficient conditions for g L = 7 and describe infinitely many Gaussian lines with g L ≥ 260 , 000. We conjecture that both g L and G L can be arbitrarily large. Our results extend a well-known problem of Pillai from the rational integers to the Gaussian integers.

Call a monic integer polynomial exceptional if it has a root modulo all but a finite number of primes, but does not have an integer root. We classify all irreducible monic integer polynomials $h$ for which there is an irreducible monic quadratic $g$ such that the product $gh$ is exceptional. We construct exceptional polynomials with all factors of the form $X^{p}-b$, $p$ prime and $b$ square free.

We consider some families of binary binomial forms $aX^d+bY^d$, with $a$ and $b$ integers. Under suitable assumptions, we prove that every rational integer $m$ with $|m|ge 2$ is only represented by a finite number of the forms of this family (with varying $d,a,b$). Furthermore {the number of such forms of degree $ge d_0$ representing $m$ is bounded by $O(|m|^{(1/d_0)+epsilon})$} uniformly for $vert m vert geq 2$. We also prove that the integers in the interval $[-N,N]$ represented by one of the form of the family with degree $dgeq d_0$ are almost all represented by some form of the family with degree $d=d_0$. In a previous {paper} we investigated the particular case where the binary binomial forms are positive definite. We now treat the general case by using a lower bound for linear forms of logarithms.
