Diophantine Analysis is a very active domain of mathemat- ical research where one finds more conjectures than results. We collect here a number of open questions concerning Diophantine equations (including Pillai's Conjectures), Diophantine approximation (featuring the abc Conjecture) and transcendental number theory (with, for instance, Schanuel's Conjecture). Some questions related to Mahler's measure and Weil absolute logarithmic height are then considered (e.g., Lehmer's Problem). We also… Expand

on ”NUMBER THEORY AND MATHEMATICAL PHYSICS” On recent Diophantine results
Diophantus of Alexandria was a greek mathematician, around 200 AD, who studied mathematical problems, mostly geometrical ones, which he reduced to equations in rational integers or rational numbers.… Expand
Diophantine approximation : the twisted, weighted and mixed theories
This PhD thesis consists of five papers dealing with problems in various branches of Diophantine approximation. The results obtained contribute to the theory of twisted, weighted, multiplicative and… Expand

This thesis is concerned with the theory of Diophantine approximation from the point of view of measure theory. After the prolegomena which conclude with a number of conjectures set to understand… Expand
An Introduction to Irrationality and Transcendence Methods.
In 1873 C. Hermite [6] proved that the number e is transcendental. In his paper he explains in a very clear way how he found his proof. He starts with an analogy between simultaneous diophantine… Expand
Introduction to Diophantine Methods
Let us come back to the problem which was considered in § 1.4.1 and solved by Hermite (Proposition 1.20): Given two integers n0 ≥ 0, n1 ≥ 0, find two polynomials A and B with A of degree ≤ n0 and B… Expand
Classical metric Diophantine approximation revisited
The idea of using measure theoretic concepts to investigate the size of number theoretic sets, originating with E. Borel, has been used for nearly a century. It has led to the development of the… Expand
Generalization of Ruderman's Problem to Imaginary Quadratic Fields
In 1974, H. Ruderman posed the following question: If (2 − 2)|(3 − 3), then does it follow that (2 − 2)|(x − x) for every integer x? This problem is still open. However, in 2011, M. R. Murty and V.… Expand
Some Results on Arithmetic Properties of p-Adic Liouville Numbers
In 1906, Clark defined and studied the set of p-adic Liouville numbers and, in 1985, Schikhof also studied this set in his book Ultrametric Calculus. In this paper, we introduce the set of weak… Expand
Infinite sums as linear combinations of polygamma functions
where P (x), Q(x) are polynomials with algebraic coefficients satisfying some symmetry conditions, f is a number theoretic periodic function taking algebraic values, and all the roots of the… Expand
Metric Diophantine Approximation : aspects of recent work
In these notes, we begin by recalling aspects of the classical theory of metric Diophantine approximation; such as theorems of Khintchine, Jarnik, Duffin-Schaeffer and Gallagher. We then describe… Expand

The results show that values of E-functions at rational points have measures of diophantine approximations typical to "almost all" numbers. Expand
Old and new conjectured diophantine inequalities
The original meaning of diophantine problems is to find all solutions of equations in integers or rational numbers, and to give a bound for these solutions. One may expand the domain of coefficients… Expand

TLDR
Family of Diophantine equations in a parameter t, whose integral solutions for t = 1, 2, 3,… exhibit a certain arythmia in terms of their size, have fascinated mathematicians for centuries, and this phenomenon (the size of smallest integral solution varying wildly with the parameter-value) is surprising, even when the equations are perfectly “decidable”.
