$2^n$-1 consisting only of small factors

It is true that if $N > 60$, then $2^{N} - 1$ has a prime factor $> 2500$. Here's another approach. First, observe that every prime factor of $2^{p} - 1$ is $\equiv 1 \pmod{p}$. Combining this with t …

When are the powers of 2 sum-free mod n?

This question is very similar to the one here, and the heuristic should apply equally well. In particular, $A$ is sum-free if and only if there does not exist a $k$ with $k \ne \frac{n+1}{2}$ so that …

primitive prime divisor of $2^{8n+4} - 1 $

No. We have that $p = 709$ is a primitive prime divisor of $2^{708} - 1$. However, $\frac{2^{708} - 1}{2^{177} + 1}$ is a multiple of the prime $q = 5521693$ and therefore $q-1 | \gamma\left(\frac{2^{ …

$p$-th root of non-torsion points on elliptic curves

No. Lemma 3.7 on page 11 from my paper here implies that if $\mathcal{T}_{1} = {\rm Gal}(K(E[p])/K)$ and there is a normal subgroup $H \unlhd \mathcal{T}_{1}$ with order coprime to $p$ for which $E[p] …

Diophantine equation $3(a^4+a^2b^2+b^4)+(c^4+c^2d^2+d^4)=3(a^2+b^2)(c^2+d^2)$

The equation you specify defines a surface $X$ in $\mathbb{P}^{3}$, and this surface is a K3 surface. It is conjectured that if $X$ is a K3 surface, there is a field extension $K/\mathbb{Q}$ over whic …

Congruences among primes modulo which a given polynomial has roots

Here's a survey of the possible things that can happen. In regards to your first question, given any polynomial $f(x)$, there is a positive integer $M$ so that if $\gcd(b,M) = 1$, then there are infin …

Sets of squares representing all squares up to $n^2$

We can have the size of $S$ as small as $c \ln(n)$ for some constant $c$, and we can do this in such a way that every element of $\{1, 2, \ldots, n^2 \}$ can be represented by adding or subtracting at …

Relations of eisenstein series with eta quotient

The answer is probably some fairly basic linear algebra. For the first one, each term on the right hand side is a modular form of weight $4$ and level $2$. The space $M_{4}(\Gamma_{0}(2))$ has dimensi …

Is $p$ is square modulo $F_p$ when $p=4k+1 > 5$?

The answer to the first question is yes, although the argument I give below is not along the lines that you were originally thinking. I will show that $p$ is a square modulo $q$ for every prime factor …

When $\frac{a^2}{b+c}+\frac{b^2}{a+c}+\frac{c^2}{a+b}$ is integer and $a,b,c$ are coprime na...

Yes, there is another solution. The next one I found is a bit big, namely $$ a = 15349474555424019, b = 35633837601183731, c = 105699057106239769. $$ This solution also satisfies the property that $$ …

Extension of $\mathbb Q$ which splits only at primes in $S$

For many choices of $R$ and $S$ the answer is obviously no. For example, if $R$ is empty, then the answer is no, because there are no unramified extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$. For a more interesting exa …

Solutions to diophantine equation

I probably put a little bit too much effort into this. The only rational point on this curve is $(0,0)$ (as well as the points at infinity $(1 : 5 : 0)$ and $(1 : -5 : 0)$). There's a slightly non-ob …

Cusp forms with integer Fourier-coefficients

No. Take $k = 24$ and $N = 1$. Then $\Delta^{2} = q^{2} - 48q^{3} + 1080q^{4} + \cdots \in S_{K}(\Gamma_{1}(N),\mathbb{Z})$. However, if we write $\Delta^{2} = c_{1} f_{1} + c_{2} f_{2}$, where $f_{1} …

Representation of integers by positive definite ternary quadratic polynomials with linear terms

Yes, it is possible to extend these methods, although the picture is somewhat less clear than in the quadratic form case. When one discusses representations by a quadratic polynomial, this is equival …

How does this sequence grow

The answer is yes, and the number of solutions with a prime $p$ is $\lfloor \frac{p+5}{8} \rfloor$ when $p \not\equiv 1 \pmod{8}$ and is $\lfloor \frac{p+5}{8} \rfloor + 1$ when $p \equiv 1 \pmod{8}$. …
