It is well-known that one can evaluate the sum $$\sum_{k =1}^{N-1} \csc^2\left(\pi \frac{k}{N} \right)=\frac{N^2-1}{3}.$$ The answer to this problem can be found here click here. I am now interested in the more difficult problem of evaluating for some $j \in \{1,...,N-1\}$ the sum (we do no...
How can I determine all integer points of the following equation $$y^2=x^3+10546$$ I tried Magma with IntegralPoints(EllipticCurve([0,10546])); but got the answer that it "could not determine the Mordell-Weil group." What are my options here?
An element $a$ of a Lie algebra $L$ is called a Fredholm element if the adjoint operator $ad_a:L \to L$ is a Fredholm linear map.That is: its kernel is a finite dimensional space and its range $ad_a(L)$ is a finite codimensional space. Is there an infinit dimensional Lie algebra with at least on...
