    On restricted sums of four squares and Zhi-Wei Sun's $x+24y$ conjecture

    by Hai-Liang Wu, Yue-Feng She

    In this paper, by using the arithmetic theory of ternary quadratic forms, we study some refinements on Lagrange's four-square theorem. For example, given positive integers $a,b$ satisfying some algebraic conditions and a positive integer $C\ge3$, we will show that for any sufficiently large integer $n$ with $\ord_2(n)\le C$, there exist non-negative integers $x,y,z,w$ such that $$ \begin{cases} x^2+y^2+z^2+w^2=n, ax+by\in\mathcal{S}, \end{cases} $$ where $\mathcal{S}$ is the set of all squares over $\mathbb{Z}$. In particular, we obtain some progress on Zhi-Wei Sun's $x+24y$ conjecture.

    On finite field analogues of determinants involving the Beta function

    by Hai-Liang Wu, Li-Yuan Wang, Hao Pan

    Motivated by the works of L. Carlitz, R. Chapman and Z.-W. Sun on cyclotomic matrices, we investigate certain cyclotomic matrices concerning Jacobi sums over finite fields, which can be viewed as finite field analogues of certain matrices involving the Beta function. For example, let q>1 be a prime power and let χ be a generator of the group of all multiplicative characters of Fq. Then we prove that det[Jq(χi,χj)]1≤i,j≤q−2=(q−1)q−3, where Jq(χi,χj) is the Jacobi sum over Fq. This is a finite analogue of det[B(i,j)]1≤i,j≤n=(−1)n(n−1)/2∏r=0n−1(r!)3(n+r)!, where B is the Beta function. Also, if q=p≥5 is an odd prime, then we show that det[Jp(χ2i,χ2j)]1≤i,j≤(p−3)/2=1+(−1)(p+1)/2p4(p−12)(p−5)/2.
