 Counting the Number of Integral Points in General $n$-Dimensional Tetrahedra and Bernoulli Polynomials Recently there has been tremendous interest in counting the number of integral points in $n$-dimen\-sional tetrahedra with non-integral vertices due to its applications in primality testing and factoring in number theory and in singularities theory. The purpose of this note is to formulate a conjecture on sharp upper estimate of the number of integral points in $n$-dimensional tetrahedra with non-integral vertices. We show that this conjecture is true for low dimensional cases as well as in the case of homogeneous $n$-dimensional tetrahedra. We also show that the Bernoulli polynomials play a role in this counting. Categories:11B75, 11H06, 11P21, 11Y99

 Sur les invariants d'Iwasawa des tours cyclotomiques We carry out the computation of the Iwasawa invariants $\rho^T_S$, $\mu^T_S$, $\lambda^T_S$ associated to abelian $T$-ramified over the finite steps $K_n$ of the cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_\ell$-extension $K_\infty/K$ of a number field of $\CM$-type. Nous d\'eterminons explicitement les param\'etres d'Iwasawa $\rho^T_S$, $\mu^T_S$, $\lambda^T_S$ des $\ell$-groupes de $S$-classes $T$-infinit\'esimales $\Cl^T_S (K_n)$ attach\'es aux \'etages finis de la $\mathbb{Z}_\ell$-extension cyclotomique $K_\infty/K$ d'un corps de nombres \a conjugaison complexe.

 The Ramification Polygon for Curves over a Finite Field A Newton polygon is introduced for a ramified point of a Galois covering of curves over a finite field. It is shown to be determined by the sequence of higher ramification groups of the point. It gives a blowing up of the wildly ramified part which separates the branches of the curve. There is also a connection with local reciprocity. Category:11G20

 Remarques sur les points rationnels des variÃ©tÃ©s de Fermat Soit $K$ un corps de nombres de degr\'e sur $\mathbb{Q}$ inf\'erieur ou \'egal \a $2$. On se propose dans ce travail de faire quelques remarques sur la question de l'existence de deux \'el\'ements non nuls $a$ et $b$ de $K$, et d'un entier $n\geq 4$, tels que l'\'equation $ax^n + by^n = 1$ poss\ede au moins trois points distincts non triviaux. Cette \'etude se ram\ene \a la recherche de points rationnels sur $K$ d'une vari\'et\'e projective dans $\mathbb{P}^5$ de dimension $3$, ou d'une surface de $\mathbb{P}^3$. Category:11D41

 Power Residue Criteria for Quadratic Units and the Negative Pell Equation Let $d>1$ be a square-free integer. Power residue criteria for the fundamental unit $\varepsilon_d$ of the real quadratic fields $\QQ (\sqrt{d})$ modulo a prime $p$ (for certain $d$ and $p$) are proved by means of class field theory. These results will then be interpreted as criteria for the solvability of the negative Pell equation $x^2 - dp^2 y^2 = -1$. The most important solvability criterion deals with all $d$ for which $\QQ (\sqrt{-d})$ has an elementary abelian 2-class group and $p\equiv 5\pmod{8}$ or $p\equiv 9\pmod{16}$.

 Torsion Points on Certain Families of Elliptic Curves Fix an elliptic curve $y^2 = x^3+Ax+B$, satisfying $A,B \in \ZZ$, $A\geq |B| > 0$. We prove that the $\QQ$-torsion subgroup is one of $(0)$, $\ZZ/3\ZZ$, $\ZZ/9\ZZ$. Related numerical calculations are discussed. Category:11G05

 A Note on the Automorphic Langlands Group Langlands has conjectured the existence of a universal group, an extension of the absolute Galois group, which would play a fundamental role in the classification of automorphic representations. We shall describe a possible candidate for this group. We shall also describe a possible candidate for the complexification of Grothendieck's motivic Galois group. Categories:11R39, 22E55

 Postcards from the Edge, or Snapshots of the Theory of Generalised Moonshine We begin by reviewing Monstrous Moonshine. The impact of Moonshine on algebra has been profound, but so far it has had little to teach number theory. We introduce (using postcards') a much larger context in which Monstrous Moonshine naturally sits. This context suggests Moonshine should indeed have consequences for number theory. We provide some humble examples of this: new generalisations of Gauss sums and quadratic reciprocity. Categories:11F22, 17B67, 81T40

 Criteria for Simultaneous Solutions of $X^2 - DY^2 = c$ and $x^2 - Dy^2 = -c$ The purpose of this article is to provide criteria for the simultaneous solvability of the Diophantine equations $X^2 - DY^2 = c$ and $x^2 - Dy^2 = -c$ when $c \in \mathbb{Z}$, and $D \in \mathbb{N}$ is not a perfect square.

 Mellin Transforms of Whittaker Functions In this note we show that for an arbitrary reductive Lie group and any admissible irreducible Banach representation the Mellin transforms of Whittaker functions extend to meromorphic functions. We locate the possible poles and show that they always lie along translates of walls of Weyl chambers. Categories:11F30, 22E30, 11F70, 22E45

 On a Few Diophantine Equations Related to Fermat's Last Theorem We combine the deep methods of Frey, Ribet, Serre and Wiles with some results of Darmon, Merel and Poonen to solve certain explicit diophantine equations. In particular, we prove that the area of a primitive Pythagorean triangle is never a perfect power, and that each of the equations $X^4 - 4Y^4 = Z^p$, $X^4 + 4Y^p = Z^2$ has no non-trivial solution. Proofs are short and rest heavily on results whose proofs required Wiles' deep machinery. Keywords:Diophantine equationsCategory:11D41

 Mahler Measures Close to an Integer We prove that the Mahler measure of an algebraic number cannot be too close to an integer, unless we have equality. The examples of certain Pisot numbers show that the respective inequality is sharp up to a constant. All cases when the measure is equal to the integer are described in terms of the minimal polynomials. Keywords:Mahler measure, PV numbers, Salem numbersCategories:11R04, 11R06, 11R09, 11J68

 Globalization of Distinguished Supercuspidal Representations of $\GL(n)$ An irreducible supercuspidal representation $\pi$ of $G= \GL(n,F)$, where $F$ is a nonarchimedean local field of characteristic zero, is said to be distinguished'' by a subgroup $H$ of $G$ and a quasicharacter $\chi$ of $H$ if $\Hom_H(\pi,\chi)\noteq 0$. There is a suitable global analogue of this notion for and irreducible, automorphic, cuspidal representation associated to $\GL(n)$. Under certain general hypotheses, it is shown in this paper that every distinguished, irreducible, supercuspidal representation may be realized as a local component of a distinguished, irreducible automorphic, cuspidal representation. Applications to the theory of distinguished supercuspidal representations are provided. Categories:22E50, 22E35, 11F70

 On Cyclic Fields of Odd Prime Degree $p$ with Infinite Hilbert $p$-Class Field Towers Let $k$ be a cyclic extension of odd prime degree $p$ of the field of rational numbers. If $t$ denotes the number of primes that ramify in $k$, it is known that the Hilbert $p$-class field tower of $k$ is infinite if $t>3+2\sqrt p$. For each $t>2+\sqrt p$, this paper shows that a positive proportion of such fields $k$ have infinite Hilbert $p$-class field towers. Categories:11R29, 11R37, 11R45

 The Distribution of Totatives D.~H.~Lehmer initiated the study of the distribution of totatives, which are numbers coprime with a given integer. This led to various problems considered by P.~Erd\H os, who made a conjecture on such distributions. We prove his conjecture by establishing a theorem on the ordering of residues.

 Modular Equations and Discrete, Genus-Zero Subgroups of $\SL(2,\mathbb{R})$ Containing $\Gamma(N)$ Let $G$ be a discrete subgroup of $\SL(2,\R)$ which contains $\Gamma(N)$ for some $N$. If the genus of $X(G)$ is zero, then there is a unique normalised generator of the field of $G$-automorphic functions which is known as a normalised Hauptmodul. This paper gives a characterisation of normalised Hauptmoduls as formal $q$ series using modular polynomials. Categories:11F03, 11F22, 30F35

 Invariant Measures and Natural Extensions We study ergodic properties of a family of interval maps that are given as the fractional parts of certain real M\"obius transformations. Included are the maps that are exactly $n$-to-$1$, the classical Gauss map and the Renyi or backward continued fraction map. A new approach is presented for deriving explicit realizations of natural automorphic extensions and their invariant measures.

Moody, Robert V.
 Uniform Distribution in Model Sets We give a new measure-theoretical proof of the uniform distribution property of points in model sets (cut and project sets). Each model set comes as a member of a family of related model sets, obtained by joint translation in its ambient (the `physical') space and its internal space. We prove, assuming only that the window defining the model set is measurable with compact closure, that almost surely the distribution of points in any model set from such a family is uniform in the sense of Weyl, and almost surely the model set is pure point diffractive.
