Problem 1.

Solve the equation $y^2+4=x^3$ for integers $x, y$.

Solution. We first consider the case where $y$ is even. It follows that $x$ must also be even, which implies that $x^3 \equiv 0(\bmod 8)$. Now, $y$ is congruent to 0 or $2(\bmod 4)$. If $y \equiv 0(\bmod 4)$, then $y^2+4 \equiv 4(\bmod 8)$, so we can rule out this case. However, if $y \equiv 2(\bmod 4)$, then $y^2+4 \equiv 0(\bmod 8)$. Writing $y=2 Y$ with $Y$ odd, and $x=2 X$, we have $4 Y^2+4=8 X^3$, so that
$$
Y^2+1=2 X^3
$$
and
$$
(Y+i)(Y-i)=2 X^3=(1+i)(1-i) X^3 .
$$
We note that $Y^2+1 \equiv 2(\bmod 4)$ and so $X^3$ is odd. Now,
$$
\begin{aligned}
X^3 & =\frac{(Y+i)(Y-i)}{(1+i)(1-i)} \
& =\left(\frac{1+Y}{2}+\frac{1-Y}{2} i\right)\left(\frac{1+Y}{2}-\frac{1-Y}{2} i\right) \
& =\left(\frac{1+Y}{2}\right)^2+\left(\frac{1-Y}{2}\right)^2 .
\end{aligned}
$$
We shall write this last sum as $a^2+b^2$. Since $Y$ is odd, $a$ and $b$ are integers. Notice also that $a+b=1$ so that $\operatorname{gcd}(a, b)=1$. We now have that
$$
X^3=(a+b i)(a-b i)
$$
We would like to establish that $(a+b i)$ and $(a-b i)$ are relatively prime. We assume there exists some nonunit $d$ such that $d \mid(a+b i)$ and $d \mid(a-b i)$. But then $d \mid[(a+b i)+(a-b i)]=2 a$ and $d \mid(a+b i)-(a-b i)=2 b i$. Since $\operatorname{gcd}(a, b)=1$, then $d \mid 2$, and thus $d$ must have even norm. But then it is impossible that $d \mid(a+b i)$ since the norm of $(a+b i)$ is $a^2+b^2=X^3$ which is odd. Thus $(a+b i)$ and $(a-b i)$ are relatively prime, and each is therefore a cube, since $\mathbb{Z}[i]$ is a unique factorization domain. We write
$$
a+b i=(s+t i)^3=s^3-3 s t^2+\left(3 s^2 t-t^3\right) i .
$$

Comparing real and imaginary parts yields
$$
\begin{aligned}
& a=s^3-3 s t^2, \
& b=3 s^2 t-t^3 .
\end{aligned}
$$
Adding these two equations yields $a+b=s^3-3 s t^2+3 s^2 t-t^3$. But $a+b=1$, so we have
$$
\begin{aligned}
1 & =s^3-3 s t^2+3 s^2 t-t^3 \
& =(s-t)\left(s^2+4 s t+t^2\right) .
\end{aligned}
$$
Now, $s, t \in \mathbb{Z}$ so $(s-t)= \pm 1$ and $\left(s^2+4 s t+t^2\right)= \pm 1$. Subtracting the second equation from the square of the first we find that $-6 s t=0$ or 2 . Since $s$ and $t$ are integers, we rule out the case $-6 s t=2$ and deduce that either $s=0$ or $t=0$. Thus either $a=1, b=0$ or $a=0, b=1$. It follows that $Y= \pm 1$, so the only solutions in $\mathbb{Z}$ to the given equation with $y$ even are $x=2, y= \pm 2$.

Next, we consider the case where $y$ is odd. We write $x^3=(y+2 i)(y-2 i)$. We can deduce that $(y+2 i)$ and $(y-2 i)$ are relatively prime since if $d$ divided both, $d$ would divide both their sum and their difference, i.e., we would have $d \mid 2 y$ and $d \mid 4 i$. But then $d$ would have even norm, and since $y$ is odd, $(y+2 i)$ has odd norm; thus $d$ does not divide $(y+2 i)$. Hence, $(y+2 i)$ is a cube; we write
$$
y+2 i=(q+r i)^3=q^3-3 q r^2+\left(3 q^2 r-r^3\right) i .
$$
Comparing real and imaginary parts we have that $2=3 q^2 r-r^3$ so that $r \mid 2$, and the only values $r$ could thus take are \pm 1 and \pm 2 . We get that the only possible pairs $(q, r)$ we can have are $(1,1),(-1,1),(1,-2)$, and $(-1,-2)$. Solving for $y$, and excluding the cases where $y$ is even, we find that $x=5, y= \pm 11$ is the only possible solution when $y$ is odd.

Problem 2.

Show that Liouville’s theorem holds for $\alpha$ where $\alpha$ is a complex algebraic number of degree $n \geq 2$.

Solution. First we note that if $\alpha$ is algebraic, then so is $\bar{\alpha}$ (the complex conjugate of $\alpha$ ), since they satisfy the same minimal polynomial. Also, every element in an algebraic number field is algebraic, since if the field $\mathbb{Q}(\gamma)$ has degree $n$ over $\mathbb{Q}$, then for any $\beta \in \mathbb{Q}(\gamma)$ the elements $1, \beta, \ldots, \beta^n$ are surely linearly dependent. This implies that $\alpha+\bar{\alpha}=2 \operatorname{Re}(\alpha)$ and $\alpha-\bar{\alpha}=2 i \operatorname{Im}(\alpha)$ are algebraic, since they are both in the field $\mathbb{Q}(\alpha, \bar{\alpha})$.

We can apply Liouville’s theorem to $\operatorname{Re}(\alpha)$ to get a constant $c=$ $c(\operatorname{Re}(\alpha))$ such that
$$
\left|\operatorname{Re}(\alpha)-\frac{p}{q}\right| \geq \frac{c}{q^m}
$$
where $\operatorname{Re}(\alpha)$ has degree $m$. Now,
$$
\begin{aligned}
\left|\alpha-\frac{p}{q}\right| & =\sqrt{\left(\operatorname{Re}(\alpha)-\frac{p}{q}\right)^2+(\operatorname{Im}(\alpha))^2} \
& \geq\left|\operatorname{Re}(\alpha)-\frac{p}{q}\right| \
& \geq \frac{c}{q^m} .
\end{aligned}
$$
To prove the result, it remains only to show that if the degree of $\alpha$ is $n$, then the degree of $\operatorname{Re}(\alpha) \leq n$. Consider the polynomial
$$
g(x)=\prod_{i=1}^n\left[2 x-\left(\alpha^{(i)}+\bar{\alpha}^{(i)}\right)\right],
$$
where $\alpha=\alpha^{(1)}, \alpha^{(2)}, \ldots, \alpha^{(n)}$ are the algebraic conjugates of $\alpha$. Certainly $\operatorname{Re}(\alpha)$ satisfies this equation, so we must verify that its coefficients are in $\mathbb{Q}$.

To prove this, we need some Galois Theory. Let $f$ be the minimal polynomial of $\alpha$ over $\mathbb{Q}$, and let $F$ be the splitting field of this polynomial (i.e., the normal closure of $\mathbb{Q}(\alpha)$ ). Recall that $f$ is also the minimal polynomial of $\bar{\alpha}$, and so $F$ contains $\alpha^{(i)}$ and $\bar{\alpha}^{(i)}$ for $i=1, \ldots, n$. Consider the Galois group of $F$, that is, all automorphisms of $F$ leaving $\mathbb{Q}$ fixed. These automorphisms permute the roots of $f$, which are simply the conjugates of $\alpha$. It is easy to see that the coefficients of $g(x)$ will remain unchanged under a permutation of the $\alpha^{(i)}$ ‘s, and so they must lie in the fixed field of the Galois group, which is $\mathbb{Q}$.

Since $\operatorname{Re}(\alpha)$ satisfies a polynomial with coefficients in $\mathbb{Q}$ of degree $n$, it follows that the minimal polynomial of $\operatorname{Re}(\alpha)$ must divide this polynomial, and so have degree less than or equal to $n$. This proves Liouville’s theorem for complex algebraic numbers.

Problem 3.

Prove that each member of the set of $n-1$ consecutive integers
$$
n !+2, n !+3, \ldots, n !+n
$$
is divisible by a prime which does not divide any other member of the set.

Prove that each member of the set of $n-1$ consecutive integers
$$
n !+2, n !+3, \ldots, n !+n
$$
is divisible by a prime which does not divide any other member of the set.
Proof. For each $2 \leq k \leq n$, consider the three cases.

  • Suppose $k$ is prime and $k>n / 2$. Then $k \mid n !+k$ and $k \nmid n !+j$ for $j \neq k$ since $n !+2 k>n !+j$. In this case we are done.
  • Suppose $k$ is prime and $k \leq n / 2$. Then since $2 k \leq n$, for any prime $p \leq n, p \mid n ! / k$ and hence $p \nmid n ! / k+1$. It follows that $n ! / k+1$ has a prime factor larger than $n$. This implies $n !+k$ does as well.
  • Suppose $k$ is composite. Similar to the above case, for any prime $p \leq n, p \mid n ! / k$. Thus $p \nmid n ! / k+1$ and so $n !+k$ has a prime factor larger than $n$.

Now suppose $k$ is not a prime larger than $n / 2$. Let $p_k>n$ be a prime dividing $n !+k$. Since $|(n !+j)-(n !+k)|<n$ we have
$$
n !+j \not \equiv n !+k \bmod p_k \quad \text { for } j \neq k .
$$
Therefore $p_k \mid n !+k$ and $p_k \nmid n !+j$ for $j \neq k$.

Problem 4.

Let $\lambda_a(n)=\sum_{d \mid n} d^a \lambda(d)$ where $\lambda(n)$ is Liouville’s function. Prove that if $\sigma>$ $\max {1, \operatorname{Re}(a)+1}$, we have
$$
\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{\lambda_a(n)}{n^s}=\frac{\zeta(s) \zeta(2 s-2 a)}{\zeta(s-a)}
$$
and
$$
\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{\lambda(n) \lambda_a(n)}{n^s}=\frac{\zeta(2 s) \zeta(s-a)}{\zeta(s)} .
$$

E Let $\lambda_a(n)=\sum_{d \mid n} d^a \lambda(d)$ where $\lambda(n)$ is Liouville’s function. Prove that if $\sigma>\max {1, \operatorname{Re}(a)+1}$, we have
$$
\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{\lambda_a(n)}{n^s}=\frac{\zeta(s) \zeta(2 s-2 a)}{\zeta(s-a)}
$$
and
$$
\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{\lambda(n) \lambda_a(n)}{n^s}=\frac{\zeta(2 s) \zeta(s-a)}{\zeta(s)} .
$$
Proof. Since $\lambda_a=u * N^a \lambda$, for $\sigma>\max {1, \operatorname{Re}(a)+1}$, by Theorem 11.5,
$$
\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{\lambda_a(n)}{n^s}=\left(\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^s}\right)\left(\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{n^a \lambda(n)}{n^s}\right)=\zeta(s) \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{\lambda(n)}{n^{s-a}} .
$$
then shows
$$
\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{\lambda_a(n)}{n^s}=\frac{\zeta(s) \zeta(2 s-2 a)}{\zeta(s-a)} .
$$
Looking at the second sum, observe $\lambda$ is completely multiplicative and $\lambda\left(d^2\right)=1$ for all $d$. Hence if $d \mid n$,
$$
\lambda\left(\frac{n}{d}\right)=\lambda\left(\frac{n}{d}\right) \lambda\left(d^2\right)=\lambda(n d) .
$$
From here we find
$$
\lambda(n) \lambda_a(n)=\sum_{d \mid n} d^a \lambda(n d)=\sum_{d \mid n} d^a \lambda\left(\frac{n}{d}\right)=\left(N^a * \lambda\right)(n) .
$$
Thus for $\sigma>\max {1, \operatorname{Re}(a)+1}$, by Theorem 11.5,
$$
\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{\lambda(n) \lambda_a(n)}{n^s}=\left(\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{n^a}{n^s}\right)\left(\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{\lambda(n)}{n^s}\right)=\frac{\zeta(2 s) \zeta(s-a)}{\zeta(s)}
$$
